They’re using American tax dollars to fund infrastructure in Argentina because that’s where they’re all going to flee when we kick them out of office

After announcing a $20 billion bailout of Argentina, the White House now says it's pausing $18 billion in funding for NYC infrastructure projects Russ Vought would love nothing more than to tear this country down to its studs

The very first statute authorizing domestic use of the military during domestic emergencies, enacted in 1792 by a Congress full of the same folks who wrote and ratified the Constitution, expressly provided for judicial review in certain circumstances *before* the President could even send troops.

The White House is blatantly violating the Constitution, ignoring Congressionally-allocated spending. Approving any budget would put a stamp of approval on the end of checks and balances. It'll hurt, yes, but it's time for opposition. The political costs will mostly fall on the people in charge.

Society: loves traumatizing people. Also society: gets pissy when traumatized people have trauma responses. The way society spreads trauma is BECAUSE it is designed to create a justification for locking up the people they hate.

The gaslighting is wild. THEY control the White House, the House, and the Senate—yet always find a way to blame Democrats for their mess. The so-called “$1.5 trillion wish list” is about protecting health care, food assistance, and housing. (1/2)

Monopolies are terrifying and result in inferior products and services. This will be extra horrible for media companies, as the competition was the only thing keeping them on their toes. Yikes.

The Federal Communications Commission voted Tuesday to consider whether to lift the long-standing prohibition on a merger between any of the largest four broadcast networks and to consider relaxing other media ownership rules.

New piece. The data presented by @thejcpa.bsky.social and @counterhate.com about antisemitism on X is stark: it is being spread to hundreds of millions of people. Not just antisemitism, but OVERT antisemitism. And that shift means far more than people realize. It won't be long before it leaves X.

I’m officially changing residence to my hometown in PA! While I appreciated Columbus, we couldn’t afford to keep up with the rapidly increasing rent and limited units available at what prices were achievable for is in the larger metro. If I’m gonna live rural, I want to do it near family, ya know?

I leaned into building community with Columbus folks while I was on here, and while I definitely want to see yall continue to be you and stay informed, I understand if you want to focus on Columbus centric users. Keep speaking up there! We will out here in the mountains of PA still, too!

(On a personal note, the thing my kiddo seems to miss the most about Columbus is how many protests we attended out there, so for their sake, keep being loud! We are rural enough now that our protest attendance is a LOT less frequent for logistical reasons!)

We are just waiting on paperwork confirming that the custody order will be amended appropriately to make it official, but we will be staying at the property my family had been allowing us to use for a summer “vacation” space while we were trying to find a place in Columbus.

I was told asking people to wear masks was the most intolerable tyranny. But militarizing cities to use the U.S. military against American civilians "with full force," and saying our cities should be "training grounds" for the U.S. Military. All good, huh? www.axios.com/2025/09/30/t...

Many people and institutions that fight back are winning. This is a large part of the reason to scorn the people and institutions that have caved. When this is over their lives should be made miserable. More, I mean.

If you are in charge of a flag pole, say you're a librarian, etc, here is your opportunity for peaceful civil disobedience. Stand with your immigrant, trans, endangered patrons, customers & community members & say no. Don't put the flag up at all or raise it to full mast.

And I want to be clear about this: because of Elon's revenue sharing model on Twitter, these people are making literally tens of thousands of dollars a year off inciting political violence. He is actively paying them enormous sums in exchange for their incitement.

Every once in a while I tell people from other countries about how the health insurance system works in the US and they are aghast. Yesterday a guy straight up didn’t believe me when I said people can die because of not being able to afford medicine. He was sure I meant in the distant past.

Another example. Republican efforts to curb Veterans benefits by creating a disability rating system that costs more to operate than simply giving all veterans direct government healthcare. Same goes for healthcare for all Americans. Doing the right thing is always cheaper than the cost to block it.

so no one <65y without a high risk feature can get a COVID shot? I’m immunosuppressed but LilAware and MrsAware can’t get COVID shots? what about young kids who were born recently enough to not have gotten a primary COVID vaccine yet? this does not “protect the vulnerable”
