If you support mass deportation, I will not consider you worthy of civility. I don't care. I don't want to hear your excuses or reasons. I don't want to hear your opinion on anything at all, actually. You have no humanity.

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

Workers in upstate NY harvest apples as the season winds down climbing 8-10 ft ladders wearing buckets that weigh up to 50 lbs when full. "We must work fast enough to meet production quotas while being careful that we don’t damage bruise any apples. It's hard work.” #WeFeedYou

@repchrispappas.bsky.social @goodlander.house.gov @shaheen.senate.gov @hassan.senate.gov have any of you said anything in defense of Representative Ilhan Omar? I haven't seen or heard anything from any of you.

Ilhan Omar@ilhanmn.bsky.social

The pedophile protection party’s president is laundering right-wing conspiracy theories through the most corrupt DOJ in American history. Whenever the news turns bad, this creep reaches for one name: mine. So let’s make it crystal clear. My name has always been Ilhan Omar.

The State Department has asked some foreign service officials up for promotion who they voted for in the 2016, 2020 and 2024 presidential elections, raising concerns the agency is violating a federal law that bars politicized personnel decisions within the nonpartisan ranks.

Turning to BlueSky to find a home for 9-month-old kitty, "Shoes", Baltimore/DC area. His rescuers would love to keep him but they and their toddler are all violently allergic; not even meds and air purifiers are helping. But they love Shoes and want him to find a good home. Deets: (1/5)

This guy was caught on video committing one of the worst road rage incidents I've ever seen, plowing into a group of riders—and then he left the scene. Seriously, fuck the Atlanta Journal-Constitution for framing him as some sort of a victim. You are complicit assholes. www.ajc.com/news/2026/10...

I’ve been released from IDF custody with a “warning,” apparently because of my public profile (I told them I wasn’t even a congressmember yet, just a nominee). But several dozen rabbis & participants harvesting olives with me are still in detention.

"when they go low, we go high" got us precisely where we are in the US, and a low level staffer for bloomberg wants more of it establishment liberals thirsting for status quo over meaningful change is nothing new

To far-left folks saying looting and burning in France is normal and not being manipulated by extremist puppet masters to the joy of Le Pen/Putin/Trump, I would note that the US is also seeing a form of protest that has historical precedent and is usually much more productive in achieving its aims.

Amy Acton on Vivek Ramaswamy's abhorrent campaign ad: "I won't normalize somebody who has said that my childhood is 'something I'm just complaining about,' who today, just released an ad using my birth mother, who I was removed from at the age of 12 for severe abuse and neglect and sexual abuse."

The ADL finally chimes in… with one very short post: "The term 'Shylock' is rooted in a longstanding antisemitic stereotype. Regardless of intent, its use can reinforce harmful tropes about Jews and normalize language that has long been used to target the Jewish community."

if Zohran Mamdani used the word "Shylock" the ADL would have called in a nuclear strike on New York City by now

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

The producer of a radio show I went on this morning said the host wanted to talk about Ilhan Omar, so I went back and listened to a bunch of the press coverage from last week to refresh my memory on the details. And I realized that the US media still doesn’t know how to talk about authoritarianism.

Ya Trump just blasted an antisemitic slur & ok Vivek just did an attack ad with his opponent's estranged mom who stayed with a man who molested her daughter when she was 9 & maybe Vance just threatened to deport a guy calling to release Epstein Files, but has El Sayed condemned Terrorism?
