individual, republican-aligned donors spending double that of democrat-aligned donors in us midterms (polls not reflecting this)

If Brazil can reject Trump, the Broligarchs and right-wing authoritarianism, so can we.

So vote.

So much for shopping at Kroger.

Couldn’t agree more.

It's so impossible to drag under-18s away from the TV nowadays.

And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music

Barack Obama just delivered a blistering rebuke of Trump's actions against Ilhan Omar. This is worth reading in full.

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.

I absolutely love the contrast between Bluesky and 'the other place'. Over there, one is surrounded by bots, chaos, anarchy, and general dystopian vibes. Over here, we are in a quaint countryside village having scones in front of the fire whilst petting our cats. I think we are in the right place.

Love them to pieces. I'm so lucky to be their grandson.

I keep reading that there have been no public executions in the United States for decades. Not true.

Either there’s rule of law or there’s not. Either we are defined by a system of justice that holds the guilty accountable or we aren’t. Either we have a democracy that limits abuse to define our public life and the rights of citizens or we have a country collapsing into strongman authoritarianism.

With great consistency, people who prefer authoritarianism to democracy envision themselves in charge. Could be them personally, could be vicarious, but they're always the boot, not the face.

Trump’s obsession with these vulgar memorials to his own vanity is a reminder of the darkness around him, of his hostility to democracy, his loathing of honor, and his disordered mind. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

BREAKING: ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox News and NBC have suspended pooled TV coverage of President Trump. The move comes days after Trump barred CNN, MS NOW and Politico journalists from the White House, prompting the three outlets to announce plans to sue the administration.

The accounting is in: In Oregon there are 111 data centers. The TOTAL number of people employed at data centers is just 2,630, or 0.1% of the labor force. Those 100 data centers consumer 23% of all electricity used in Oregon. Meanwhile, electricity rates skyrocket as more centers are built.

Trump has shut down the government units that once tracked Russia’s disinformation and influence operations in U.S. elections. There are clear signs that Putin’s operatives are warming up to interfere with the 2026 midterm election. more from @davidcorn.bsky.social

Someone, thinking they were being rude, asked if I would ever grow up In response I used my Dad’s favourite saying ‘Since light travels faster than sound, people may appear bright until you hear them speak’ Never grow up, it’s a sign of surrender
