we gotta bring back shame, man society doesn’t work real well without consequences for being an enormous piece of shit in public

This is NOT an ad for @alexgibneyfilm.bsky.social’s new documentary “MUSK” (in theaters now). We are promoting it for free. Join us right here on October 20, 2026 at 9am Pacific/noon Eastern for a livestream hosted by @niedermeyer.online.

“…most commonly carried out in a handful of countries including Iran, North Korea and the Taliban-led government in Afghanistan. “releasing video of executions is most often associated with extremist militant groups like the Islamic State...” www.nytimes.com/2026/10/08/u...

🧵Donald Trump is a con man. From his time on the campaign trail to present day, he continues to tell the American people lie after lie. These are 11 of his most harmful, costly broken promises. www.budget.senate.gov/ranking-memb...

Killing research on maternal mortality to monitor the troops’ morning wood

giving $10 to a rich asshole to receive $1 in return is trickle down economics summed up in one 2 minute video

many states, including California, also have an option to drop your ballot off directly at a elections office dropbox or election center and avoid USPS on the way back all together, which I'd recommend if possible.

Arrest him?

Need to start making a list of people who want these in their neighborhoods. He can be first on it.

One of the things we have lost is the power to shame public officials. It seems quaint but it is actually very important. Without it, formal law is significantly weaker and our lives are significantly poorer. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/26/u...

Pretty soon, it's gonna be easier to list all the food items that haven't been recalled during Trump's second term.

It's an odd thing to say of a politician, but Jeffries has no ambition. He's an NYC machine flunky who got tapped by Pelosi to lead the Dems because her no. 1 choice lost a primary. This is as good as it's gonna get for him. He has no vision for the party or America. He's just defending his turf.

so as usual, it's not transgender women causing problems in women's sports -- it's cis men.

Read Jonathan Cohn's exclusive reporting on the potentially destructive changes the Trump administration is considering for Head Start:

Street drugs are cheaper and stronger than they’ve ever been, and they’re far more likely to kill you. The government’s advice hasn’t changed much since Nancy Reagan, but drugs have. Now, scientists are writing their own rules and we have a guide here. Read more: www.playboy.com/read/politic...

This is a 2027 goal question but do we have any Humboldt county or other northwest California/Southwest Oregon tree experts? I want to start mapping out where I can do an astrophotography big old tree tour.

In any other lifetime, “American president pays millions of dollars to a woman he sexually assaulted and then threatens to tax Canada because smoke can cross the border” would be such a big headline they’d bring back kids selling newspapers on the corner

Does he know he looks like an anal polyp

😂nailed it!

In collaboration with the Munk School, I am sharing a ten-lecture course I taught at @utoronto.ca this past year. The course is called “Hitler and Stalin Today.” Watch the first lecture here: snyder.substack.com/p/new-lectur...

the food safety stuff is another reminder that a large, huge, gigantic part of being a republican is going “lmao why are we spending money to prevent horrifying disasters from happening if they never happen 🤪”

this fuckin pos

“In the Slaughter case, Justice Sotomayor delivered her dissent for 20 minutes. She was visibly angry. She talks about how they’re handing the president unprecedented power to reshape this government.” I would like to know how many Supreme Court justices are in the #Epstein files?

I know there are a lot of bad things happening, but this too is quite bad and I haven't seen a lot of folks on here talking about it! papersplease.org/wp/2026/06/2...

The Supreme Court's decision in the Temporary Protected Status case proves the Supreme Court *is* racist. They don't merely affirm Trump's racism, they endorse it. And while that's not "news" for anyone paying attention, it's still outrageous. My latest in @thenation.com

This Must Be Done….. “BREAKING: AOC just introduced the AI Data Center Moratorium Act, which bans the construction of data centers until Congress addresses all impacts of AI on our society and planet. 💪 I support this 💯”

It takes 1.28 seconds for a message to reach us from the Moon. It takes as little as 35 minutes from Jupiter. It takes as little as 4.5 hours from Pluto. It takes at least 6-12 months from NYT reporters, plus $35 for the book containing it.

I think we would be better off with clean water and affordable electricity than a Google that scans information and summarizes for us.

Just going to drop this here…

A dumb, absurdly expensive war…

what a dumb fucking war this has been

He's lying. You know why we know? WE HAVE THE AGREEMENT HE SIGNED!!!! Here's the operative language: "The U.S. undertakes, together with regional partners, a comprehensive plan...for the rehabilitation and economic development of Iran...of at least $300 billion."

america is an ideal worth fighting for

I feel like the decision to poison the reflecting pool until it's blue is the best possible metaphor for right now.

wtf this guy really truly never knows what the hell he’s talking about
