Yom Kippur is a day of reflection, of forgiveness, of restoration. This year, may we all pray for a better, kinder, more peaceful future. Wishing all who observe across the five boroughs and the world a meaningful, easy fast. G’mar chatimah tovah.

Now comes the part where everyone tells me I missed the Sekrit Signals about how today was the beginning of something something something Look, we have plenty of trouble. But this meeting was Hegseth trying to bully the senior officers into respecting him. I don't think it worked.

Once it's possible to do it, I'd add, "dead or alive." And maybe even say which one I'd prefer.

The people of Brazil stepped up to save their democracy & oust the corrupt dictator who plotted a coup, claiming their election was rigged. Bolsonaro is sentenced to over 27 years in prison. Bravo Brazil! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

How many customers does he serve per workday? $4,889 is 326 times greater than $15. Let him do the work of 326 people to prove his worth.

Man, it would have been nice to see this kind of energy when Melissa Hortman was murdered in her home. 😒

Amazing that @chrislhayes.bsky.social had @chrismurphyct.bsky.social on tonight and there wasn’t a single mention of the school shooting in Colorado today.

In all the nonsense about Cracker Barrel's logo, I would like to point out that a family of four cannot afford to eat there. That is the real issue.

So, the founders of this whites-only development in Arkansas are "a classically trained French horn player who has livestreamed his own sex videos, and a former jazz pianist arrested but not charged for attempted murder in Ecuador." Because of course. GIFT: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/19/r...

NPR this morning talking about Texas prison ‘heat deaths’ documented as natural. Nothing natural about a prison cell 130 degrees. You can bet Maxwell’s TX prison has AC. #AssholeTxGOP

Meiselas: And it's certainly not anti-Semitic to criticize what Netanyahu is doing...you can have basic humanity and speak out against atrocities that are happening in Gaza and watching people starve to death, and that does not make you antisemitic at all.

Tom Kean Jr. is buying and selling stocks as a member of Congress at a remarkably corrupt rate. And he's getting filthy rich. He's out for himself while his constituents struggle to get by.

If you don't already, watch Colbert. He is a man with no more f*cks left to give. And it's glorious. Check out this song parody from last night's show: Mike Johnson Delays House Epstein Vote Until September

The U.S. is already losing billions in tourism while bracing itself for an underwhelming 2026 men’s World Cup and 2028 Olympics. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Oh hey, that’s me. 👋

People exploding this false messaging that I voted for a bill + funding that I quite literally voted NO on. The threat environment this morning is scary. Doesn’t help anyone. Drag me for the position if you disagree but don’t lie. It’s out of control. Saying I voted for this funding is false.

Anton Dostler's Execution, 1945 Was a German general during WWII who became the first highranking officer to be executed for war crimes He was tried for war crimes at Nuremberg, found guilty,& faced a firing squad in Dec. He is a grim symbol of the consequences of following illegal orders.

We hear that immigrants are "freeloaders," yet they're being arrested at their workplaces and LA's economy is floundering without them. Hello?

Welp.

Don't worry y'all, at least our Secretary of Defense isn't an alcoholic weekend news host and our Director of National Intelligence isn't a buddies with Assad. Oh... what is that?

Zohran Mamdani, who recently cross-endorsed with Lander, called for the comptroller’s immediate release. “This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice,” said Mamdani.

And a million (4 or 5 million!) kudos to the most magnificent activist/organizer duo in our time : @ezralevin.bsky.social and @leahgreenberg.bsky.social

This guy is a menace. www.npr.org/2025/06/13/n...

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop! Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels

THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE BEEN SCREAMING ABOUT. ANY PSYCHO CAN GO COSPLAY A COP RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF WHAT THE BROWNSHIRTS IN ICE ARE DOING, WITH TACIT APPROVAL FROM THIS ADMINISTRATION. SICKENING AND TERRIFYING.
