the biggest presidential scandal in history but the political media largely acts as if it's not happening. hasan piker has received more mainstream political media coverage over the last 6 months than trump's connections with epstein has

lol

Stay focused, stay strong.

I keep seeing posts from Republicans pretending to be insulted by Barack Obama's Cheesecake Factory quip because most Americans supposedly think it serves haute cuisine. First, it does not. And you know that. Second, his remark wasn't about the food. It was about the over-the-top golden decor.

I’m sure folks know this but you don’t need to know about dual cooling systems to know that you don’t want or need a data center in your community. Additionally, no, we don’t need a Black-owned data center in the name of a “seat at the table.” just to get out ahead on that foolishness.

If still debating whether Donald Trump or Elon Musk willfully crippled Ukraine's missile defense, helping to slay innocent civilians, you are a rube. If the U.S. President had no role, then an oligarch governs national security. If not, the U.S. President serves Russia. Both answers are mortifying.

Bernie Sanders: "I know conservative parents want to raise their kids to be honest, not to be bullies, not to lie and cheat all of the time. If we want to raise our kids to be honest, not to be narcissists who think the world revolves around them, then we need to hold Donald Trump accountable."

“Honey, you have to put those eggs back — we have to set those $7 aside for killing Palestinians.” 🔥 pro- @abdulelsayed.bsky.social ad rips Mike Rogers for being for “they/them (🇮🇱) while Abdul is for you (🇺🇸)” Israel gets billions of 🇺🇸 taxpayer dollars, universal health care, etc…

With monarch butterflies moving to their winter locations, it's time to post my favorite moments from years ago, hoping we get them again, until December, when I either get sad we don't or celebrate in joy that we do.

Evil billionaire pushes thousands into sex work and death from lack of medicine while he profits from politicians he bought and paid for would sound absurd in a novel but it’s literally the Elon Musk story

Boycott Elon Musk and everything he sells.

No. They literally didn’t get Greenland. Absolute crap. They got an agreement that was functionally identical to the one they had beforehand to build and maintain military bases in Grreenland. And frankly they shouldn’t have that as they’re not trustworthy allies to the EU.

One would have hoped that in 2026 we would have made enough progress as a global community to address outbreaks like this more robustly. The news about a case in Abuja, linked to travel should cause more concern than the faux plague alert from Russia a few weeks ago but it will not.

Elon Musk is trying to buy this Senate seat in Texas. He wants our land, he wants our water, and he wants his own personal U.S. senator. He’s trying to buy Texas. But on November 3rd, we’ll deliver a clear message to the world’s first trillionaire: Texas is not for sale.

Texas is only 37% non-Hispanic white, the 5th-lowest proportion of any state. Texas Republicans have gone all-in on racism this election, and it might work in the short term. Or maybe not. But it is definitely a bad strategy for the longer term as their state gets more diverse literally by the day.

People think the job of a senator is to go on TV or post on Instagram all the time. But the easiest way to get re-elected is to do stuff like help farmers with their aid, help grandmas with their Social Security checks or a Marine with his VA complaint.

If wishes were horses, then beggars would ride. If turnips were swords, I'd have one at my side. If "ifs" and "ands" were pots and pans, There'd be no work for tinkers' hands. --Scottish proverb about the folly of wishful thinking in the face of stark reality

Leaked audio of Mike Rogers calling on Republicans to use off-duty police officers to intimidate voters in Detroit in an attempt to manipulate the Michigan Senate race:

Listening to Heidi's son Michael talk about his mother's work and what she was documenting to BBC Radio. "This is happening daily and it's not only a single event that's affecting her only ... my mother is unstoppable and she will continue doing her work."

oh ok so now I’m crying www.tiktok.com/t/ZTfFcVwMQ/

Ossoff: "It's the most corrupt administration of all time & everybody knows it. While the crook president & his crook family rake in billions from all over the world, you pay more for everything... they lied us into war & spent most of the last year covering up for the world's most famous pedophile"

The first subpoena from the new Democratic Congress should be to Mark Zuckerberg, for taking down the No Kings Instagram account in the middle of one of the largest days of civic activism in American history. No Kings. No Courtiers.

No wonder he hates California. Vote.

Meta has sabatoged Instagram account for No Kings

lol no idea how true any of this is. but Natalie wielding her printer of doom against wiles is simply too good for me to fact check.

Also, send it to your friend group via slack or whatever intrusive shit you use to bother people and be social. Spread Spread Spread.

(Reuters) - The order to limit a satellite system used by Ukraine for battlefield communications and drone operations came from inside the White House, according to two US officials and a Western official briefed on the matter. @reuters.com 🇺🇦 www.reuters.com/world/europe...

Under Trump and his Republican enablers, the richest Americans and biggest corporations have made out like bandits. Average working Americans are paying dearly for what the bandits have stolen. The grift and the graft must end. Accountability starts November 3.

Best callout of Elon I've seen. Still waiting for it from (more) Democrats.

If we are going to have socialized investments in technology in America, let's have it run through our universities, rather than through crony capitalism with Trump's criminal accomplices in the White House. The NYT, predictably, underplays this distinction. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/14/n...

To the Trump voters wondering whether he’s still fighting for you or not… Maybe start with a more basic question: Is this man even sane? Seriously, just watch him, listen to him, and pay attention. Then pretend he’s a Black woman doing and saying those things. Would you still be making excuses?

Good example of the utility of conspiracy theories on the right: even tho it was the stupidest, easiest-to-debunk of stories, Fox News still gets to step in and insinuate that Talarico must be hiding *something*

if this post doesn't apply to you, would still appreciate you sharing around.
