Dark humor to get us through this... DT has always been an incompetent, cheating, lying, screw-up!! Now, we put this screw-up in a position to harm not just himself and those close to him but the entire world. On cue, he is living up to his screw-up reputation in spades.

This sounds familiar--No Kings!

#earlyvote evening update 10/27: at least 35 million people have voted in the 2026 general election 🥳 election.lab.ufl.edu/early-vote/2...

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

More of this!!!

This is the Stolen Neighbors Quilt. Each of the 11,000 squares represents a person taken by ICE in Minnesota.

And don’t sleep on the part where we bust Cleta Mitchell (yes, that one) for helping to hatch a campaign finance cover-up:

Mamdani is so good at not only deciphering but also explaining! Do watch/listen to this. Check out the thread here as well. I often wondered how/why Rob Ford managed to rise so high politically.

Florida's gift to the national political discourse. We don't have really big rocks here for people to crawl out from under. Joe emerged from a particularly thick and slimy green algae bloom causally related to his party's big $$ friendly policies.

“The president is kicking news organizations out of the press pool, out of the White House on the basis of his dislike of their coverage,” @jameeljaffer.bsky.social told @maddow.bsky.social. Watch their discussion on Trump’s latest assault on the free press. www.youtube.com/watch?v=39TX...

What do data centers and Flock cameras have in common? Neither of them belong in our communities.

I’m so pleased to announce the relaunch of my “Wealth and Poverty” course, this coming Monday, September 21st. Please join me and Heather Kinlaw Lofthouse for a live “watch-a-long” of the first class of my course, on Substack at 4:30pm PT/7:30pm ET. More details at the link below:

What chutzpah!! She voted like a MAGA lemming for every bit of $$ to DHS/ICE. Where was this outrage when the raids, murders, and abuses were occurring? Did we see her at Alligator Alcatraz??

When I said three years ago that egg companies were using the avian flu as cover to price-gouge, Fox News called me crazy. But new documents from a major federal investigation reveal the truth. Watch. https://youtu.be/aGa7YNNC1R0

Microsoft exec called AI scraping ‘the largest theft of labor in human history,’ new unredacted filings reveal

We are all expecting him to try it. I wonder if a court order prohibiting it would be enough to scare off demolition contractors from agreeing to do it. Probably not.

Great montage of one of Bob Mackie's signatures--the Cher unveilings, circa 1976.

Some details: Kremlev, the Russian who sponsored Don Jr's wedding, is a former member of the Night Wolves biker gang, went to China with Putin and is personally sanctioned by Ukraine for his role in abducting children www.propublica.org/article/dona...

Jon Ossoff: "He's trying to put his face on the money. Did you see that? He's building a monument to himself. But see, Atlanta, he's doing these things now, because no one will honor him when he's gone. Because he's a failed president and a national disgrace."

Total BS, buck-passing to shift responsibility for the rising cost of fuel, particularly diesel, from his own reckless, idiotic decision to start a war with Iran to Ukraine, which is the victim of Putin's psycho aggression defending itself quite strategically and effectively.

David is 27 years old, a state house rep, and an INCREDIBLE @runforsomething.net leader. His win against an incumbent is truly against the odds and a big victory for young people, for renters, and for anyone ready for a new generation of Democrats.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz: “The word "remigration" is nothing other than a synonym for ethnic cleansing based on origin and skin color.”

🚨BREAKING: Supreme Court DENIES Missouri’s emergency stay application leaving the 2022 congressional map protecting Black voters in Kansas City in place for the midterms. A victory for Elias Law Group, its client and voters of Missouri! www.democracydocket.com/cases/missou...

Blech!

Bombardier's American headquarters is in Wichita and supports 1,500 Kansas jobs. Read Adam's statement on the administration's decision to ban the company from selling to American buyers.

If we are going to allow cybercabs with no steering wheels or pedals to shuttle people around, why not just build trains? They are safer than car accidents

🇺🇸 FUCK YEAH: Maryland's Supreme Court has allowed Governor Wes Moore's redistricting plan to go back onto the ballot in their latest ruling. Moore is likely securing an 8 Democrats, 0 Republicans Congressional map. 59 Days... LFG! 🌊🌊🌊

I have thousands of clients whose sole source of income is social security. Without it they can’t buy food, pay rent or take care of other basic needs. They literally couldn’t survive without it. Of course, Howard Lutnick-being a MAGA billionaire-could care less about taking away their benefits

Suddenly due process matters.

And it's not remotely close!!!

Super interesting!

"Fearmongrels??" LOL That's creative in a way I am sure was not intentional. Then that use of "worse." Is English his second language?

Knock, knock, is anyone home in there? Classic dementia flattening and fading of persona.

Read the Order and understand clearly that Judge Talwani is nobody's fool, and anticipated every disingenuous argument the Trump DOJ would make and blocked them at every turn. Respect!

♥️

Letitia James defended New York's disclosure law Wednesday and won it outright. X can't refile. Six words in the ruling did it. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/trump-went...

"Since the late 1970s, some $80 trillion has been siphoned from the bottom 90 percent of Americans to the richest 1 percent." Take some time to absorb that fact. I've lived through it all. I turned 26 in 1970 and had a front row seat in Pittsburgh. robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-tho...

Nobody can "remember" who made the decision. Oh, right! And I've got a bridge to sell you....

The Empire State Building sparkled pink in honor of Dolly Parton. Beautiful. 💖

Just in case there are others out there who understand German outside of the native German-speakers on Bluesky. This is great! The gist: "Germany, the fax machine of the energy transformation." With a 6% rollout of smart meters, albeit a thoroughly certified 6%.

Wow! Darline is the worst of the worst! She is a caricature of the retrograde, white, southern, elitist GOP candidate. You just know she felt so superior to the people she "served." Vote for the best example the South has to offer--a competent, caring, genuine public servant @drannieandrews.com

Do you know what kind of fliers they were circulating after Jake Lang came to Michigan? KKK flyers. Hate all comes from the same place. It's up to us to unite to fight against all its forms.

Trump doesn't care if we approve--he is desperate--but it's good and helpful to know how our fellow Americans feel about his attempts to restrict our right to vote.

The field is set and I’m ready to bring this election home.

No more "ripeness" issue available to argue now that the USPS has finalized its rule. The focus will be on the blatant unconstitutionality of the USPS deciding which mail to deliver to your door. Think about that and the precedent it would set apart from the election meddling. Boggles the mind.

Reminder: Dolly Parton helped fund the Moderna vaccine for COVID.

Fun fact: Dolly Parton spent decades quietly funding band uniforms and instruments at Black high schools across the South - never once putting her name on it. No headlines, no fanfare — just help, given because it was needed. Wonderful Heart ♥️ RIP Dolly ❤️
