AI people are so deranged, so mentally ill, they HAVE to live in a separate world just to believe they remain fully human.

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

I don’t think this is exactly what’s going on, or all that’s going on. It’s not that Republicans are constructing an elaborate psychological defense against evidence that Trump is a rapist. It’s that they like that he’s a rapist, and they like rape: it enacts the power of the strong over the weak.

So that real estate agent should lose her license permanently 🤷‍♂️

My wonderful friend is running for office in Wyoming, and it's her birthday! It's also the day Frodo woke up in Elrond's house. If you care about helping Democrats in red states, or Hobbits, or both, please consider donating $20 to her campaign.

It's my birthday this weekend! I'm doing a donation drive for $19.79 to celebrate being old. We're hoping to raise enough this weekend for a digital billboard. If you have $20 to spare, I appreciate it! www.vote4kirk.com/donate/

I mean, are they suggesting furries shouldn't be allowed to vote? What's the actual logic (I know, I know) here? Constitutional exclusion for furries?

NEW: @rahmemanuel.bsky.social's new plan is a way for his fellow millionaires to win, and for Dems to keep losing forever. To justify their donors' agenda, Corporate Dems punch left and pretend key swing voters are a handful of rich country-club Republicans rather than the enraged working class.

Per a database of discrimination complaints obtained by @propublica.org , Trump's Department of Education is actively ignoring reports of rape and assault on campuses so they can instead focus on transgender athletes. Their obsession with trans people is actively putting women and girls in danger.

Hard not to conclude that this is just straightforwardly a pro-rape caucus.

NEW: Jan Crawford from CBS has deleted her conspiratorial tweet about Abdul Sayed for “violating CBS News standards,” meaning it was too stupid even for CBS.

Lol so true. They never beat the charges.

Ban all frats on all campuses, forever. University of Chicago over the weekend: "A group of as many as 5 men were 'cheering and appearing to encourage the activity inside' a frat house bathroom & the group tried to block two of the woman’s friends from entering" blockclubchicago.org/2026/10/13/g...

“.. two dozen former #DOGE staffers have parlayed their government experience into relevant private-sector jobs .. looking to win government contracts .. .. at least six DOGE alumni have registered on Sam.gov, a government contracting portal ..” newrepublic.com/article/2165...

Weird we don't see so much whining about this

Just thinking about this as the state harasses Ilhan Omar over 40 year old paperwork.

Disgusting.

@kravenslastbunt.bsky.social

This is so true. I would go further: it distorts things with a profoundly American bias. Complex cultural questions are filtered through a parchial American lens.

Jon Ossoff:

Women who resist rape are punished so disproportionately because men understand that rape is the lynchpin of their social power, and they will go to any lengths to defend it. www.cnn.com/2026/10/08/u...

This is just a relentlessly horrific story. It’s hard to adequately contextualize the moral desolation of this unfolding in the midst of a midterms against a ruling party helmed by inveterate rapists and rape apologists. www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/congres...

I feel legit grief over Messi's retirement. 😢

interesting that conservatives were militantly “we must reward hustle” when the target was affirmative action at elite universities and now, when faced with the success of south asians and other groups, it is “i think we are too meritocratic”

Community Notes for the win here, Megyn Kelly. 👌

I would storm the gates of hell for you, Jimothy.

In the history of all the things that never happened, this never happened the most. SMH. Politicians lie. These politicians lie so often it seems like breathing.

Today, 8 years ago, my friend, Saudi Journalist and Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi was murdered.

Mike Pompeo has been rewarded with a teaching fellowship at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs. The same school that canceled my class on media, race and international affairs. @columbiasipa.bsky.social share.google/KEvTy5yER71U...

it didn't even occur to me that the government might try to execute someone a second time if they torture the person but fail to kill them during a first botched attempt. truly grotesque and a moral stain upon all involved.

New from me: What do Never Trump Republicans want and are they experts at defeating the GOP they helped create? We don't have to speculate. They've already said it - they want neocons to take over the Democratic Party & they don't want blame when Democrats adopt their agenda & then lose.

Every single newspaper that reported that Jane Doe “changed her story” should be rushing to publish retractions right now. This case should be a lesson in taking a DA’s victim-blaming statements at face value. Victims do not report to the police because they thought nothing happened to them.

Essential post & commentary from Jay Willis @jaywillis.net @ballsandstrikes.org ballsandstrikes.org/legal-cultur...

Maybe no one is more hated than women who resist rape. I’ve come to believe that women who have been, as I was, “public survivors” have a responsibility not to flinch in these face of this hate. I have a lot of rage about that time, but I don’t have any shame.

This is scandalous, @nytimes.com. @propublica.org should demand a public correction and apology.
