In the very wee hours four years ago today I lost my beautiful, precious Russian Blue bud. I still miss him every day. See you on the other side, Pushkin.

I wonder what the statistical likelihood of that happening are…

“The Department of Justice is putting its formidable thumb on next week’s elections in a way that seems clearly intended to call into question the legitimacy of any result that is especially unfavorable to Republicans—before those results have even come in.” Me on DOJ’s California and Alaska suits:

Trump: "We didn't start the war with Iran. Iran started the war with us."

"Whatever dark power Trump has that has enabled him to become president twice while being quite literally one of the most morally despicable human beings on Earth, it’s not easily duplicated by your average Republican candidate for Senate, House, or governor." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

When you've been sold the same crock of shit for as long as you can remember, why would you even consider buying it one more time, especially when it's being resold by the biggest bullshit artist of all time.

Even with the power of the rogue state, I don't think Blanche is any match for Mr. Elias.

The allegations against Donald Trump for sexual assault seem to have a common denominator: He is physically violent and intentionally inflicts pain on his victims. He likes to slam women and girls up against doors and walls as he roughly manhandles them. Donald Trump is a sick and twisted person.

Ya think? The most unreligious atheist in the world is conveniently photographed surrounded by priests who can only be false men of God themselves. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

My fellow Americans: let's not fumble this.

A useful reorientation for people like me who are really good at not being good at things.

Conan O’Brien’s take down of HARRISON FORD pointing a lot in his Movies is my favourite thing today.

Today's Famous Person with a Cat: Roger Waters

This is why Trump just said at his rally that he doesn’t care about high gas prices because people who own stakes in the oil and gas industry are getting rich.

In the downpour of horrid psycopathic people to bring justice to when we topple the fascist American regime, let's don't lose sight of all RFK has done to harm millions of people. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

‘We, the people’—not we, the white people—not we, the citizens or the legal voters—not we, the privileged class, and excluding all other classes but we, the people; not we, the horses and cattle, but we the people.” —Frederick Douglass, 1857 www.americaamerica.news/p/showing-tr...

Tennessee Brando delivers a blistering assessment of Trump's remaining supporters. “It's sad to watch people who are so miserable in their own lives get behind a man who is the king of misery, who just keeps adding more misery to their lives, and they keep cheering it on.”

This admission alone is an impeachable offense

Greed

The Brazilian elections are being rigged American Republican style.

Racism, bigotry, plain and simple.👇

Vlodomir Zelenskyy…strong but empathetic, indefatigable but reflective and self effacing, leading from the front whilst never forgetting those vulnerable souls at the rear. And all of this conducted with humour and compassion …A true Statesman

This supercut is likely to make Trump VERY upset. The difference between Trump and Obama is on full display, and the contrast is absolutely devastating. Watch until the end...

For-profit prisons for unaccompanied minors - during a time when ICE is separating children from their parents in the interior and mislabeling them unaccompanied. Think about where we’ve seen this before and under what conditions.

Ohio, let's do what we can to elect @amyactonoh.bsky.social as your next Governor and @sherrodbrownoh.bsky.social as your next U.S. Senator! They’ve dedicated their lives to fighting on behalf of all Ohioans.

Obama argues that we won’t fix our political problems unless we rediscover our moral compass first

The Dream Team!

ICE said Antonio Moreida jumped onto the hood of their vehicle. Now a local police investigation concludes that an ICE agent struck him with his SUV. The routine lying by ICE is the result of the example set by leadership of the Department of Homeland Security.

Jon Ossoff could make a Senate hearing on agricultural subsidies feel like the season finale of The West Wing.

“How long can we tolerate Elon Musk deciding our elections and foreign policy? How critical is it that investigations immediately begin if and when the Democrats take back power? Should Starlink and SpaceX be nationalized to minimize Musk’s power?” www.americaamerica.news/p/how-long-c...

New in PN: In defense of empathy "Being aware of other people’s feelings, sensitive to them, and able to put yourself in another person’s shoes is pretty much essential for humans to function as a community. But the current conservative project has zero room for that sort of thing."

These are the people facilitating the entire world's misery. They vote and they proliferate. PT Barnum would be in hog heaven.

Obama: “Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials from the White House press corps. You’re laughing, but this is what’s happening. It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent right now would have tolerated behavior like that from me.” Clip courtesy @meidastouch.com

The Army obligated another $40.2M to Hadrian, a 1789 Capital company where Donald Trump Jr. is a partner. youtu.be/U3HpesBh2Cc?...

This is the man Republicans who are on the ballot worship, praise and revere. Vote them out. bsky.app/profile/atru...

The Toddler in Chief spends his days posting trash like this (or his mentally ill sycophant Harp does it for him). God help him he should devote one moment to doing something to help Americans.

I voted by mail today. Now is our time, and we can't seize this moment together if we don't get out and VOTE. Early voting ends on October 29th and Election Day is November 3rd. Make a plan to vote, bring your friends, and let's go win this thing! iWillVote.com

💔🇺🇦 Russia has stolen something from Ukrainian children that can never be returned: their childhood.

Excellent ad.

Very well articulated essay by Robert Reich conveying the critical need to reverse the moral squalor of the parasitic Trump regime and oligarchs funding, participating in, and profiting from the corruption and dishonesty. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

If you encounter ICE, here's what every New Yorker should know.
