While this election already simplifies the issues to voting Democrat vs voting for Naziism, treason and child rape (the Epstein Party of Donald Trump), here in Maryland one of the state Senate races also offers the distinct pleasure of voting for Martin van Buren as a Democrat.

I disagree: being MAGA is about proudly showing the depths of cruelty and depravity you gleefully embrace. Stupidity is optional.

Watching atrocities be committed in your name and with your money and being unable to do a damn thing about it is one of the many horrifically frustrating things about this regime.

If you aren’t allowed to “prove” that you’re a citizen, does it matter if you are? What they do to Those Others, they are already doing to Us.

When you’re the alpha dog not the beta bitch

Big, big profits for our rulers, though, and isn’t that what counts?

Just a note: The AI bots are getting very good now, and are a lot more sophisticated than they used to be. They can post photos with text and react to both photos and text almost like humans. Just do this, when someone new follows you - don’t follow back until you check their “replies”..

Worth remembering

In [Donald Trump’s seditious assault on Congress]:

There are no laws for ICE any more, thanks to the Epstein Party. Vote. And doublecheck that your vote comes up the way you intended it to.

CHRISTOPHER LLOYD — 88 Candles 🎂 today — as ‘Banquo’ (and Christopher Walken as ‘Macbeth’) in the stage production of the Scottish play at the Lincoln Center — New York in 1974.

So, last year was a big year for Golden Eagles running down the East coast in the fall, and it turns out this year’s looking exciting, too! We’ve already had 2 (maybe 3) Golden Eagles just north of Baltimore, in less than a week! Keep looking up - the GE season runs through December!

This is how we know James Bond is fiction. Elon Musk is still going strong.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says we need to “accept some bad things happening” in exchange for the benefits of AI. Hello? No we do not. In fact, we can rein in AI before it’s too late. Watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_sCRveGK50

Remember, check your vote: Elon has rigged machines to flip votes from Democrat to Republican, but the GOP has apparently been doing this in the software for at least a decade. Make sure your vote is what you cast - and if it won’t let you change it back, call over a voting officer to document it!

It’s hell in there, I tell you.

In case facts still matter — we have abandoned Ukraine in favor of Putin Russia was never a hoax

On Tues Oct 27th, Philly will have gone a full month without access to the Academy of Natural Sciences. Join us at academy at 6pm for a candlelight vigil. We’re keeping the light of hope alive. Wear black if you have it. We’re the dark times, but this fight isn’t over.

While it’s a bit late for people to be noticing this, at least they’re noticing it now.

Remember when everyone was supposed to get “DOGE dividends” and $2,000 tariff rebates? Now Elon Musk is promising to give every child a SpaceX share, while Trump is claiming he'll dole out $5,000 checks if Republicans win the midterms. Their desperation is showing. Don’t be fooled.

Aiding and abetting the enemy is...(checks notes)...called treason. Causing innocent civilians to be killed is...(checks notes)...called crimes against humanity and a war crime. Seriously, what the fuck is being done in our name, with our money?

Super cool post of how @fiftyplusone.news busted Wedgewood pollster for fake polls. blog.fiftyplusone.news/p/fiftypluso...

Today we launch the first episode of my podcast. I interviewed Whitney Mitchell, whose fiancé and caretaker Garrett Foster was murdered at a BLM protest in 2020. Foster's killer was convicted by a jury and given a 25-year sentence. Then Texas Gov. Greg Abbott pardoned him.

Poverty is a policy decision. Concentrated wealth is a policy decision. Inequality is a policy decision. Economic inequality is not some naturally occurring phenomenon. It is the consequence of choices. One question I always urge my students to ask: who is the market organized for — and why?

The former senator has always been wrong about everything
