A good day for democracy. Let’s keep this streak going.

dad's telling us to grow up

WOOOHOOOO!! Serbia, now Brazil. Next? USA and Israel!

This will be us.

ATTENTION LAWMAKERS: Wondering how to respond to the growing public backlash against ALPR mass surveillance with real policy change? EFF’s new State Legislative Agenda outlines how states can ban these camera networks or strictly curtail their abuse.

The colors are glorious this fall. Bless this world. May we be better planetary stewards than we have to date. Forgive us our sins of failed earthly care. Think it a matter of Christian piety--as much as anything else--that we exercise dominion over this world in a more godly and caring manner.

Are seeing grand scale financial criming re AI right now. Are maneuvering for gov bailouts by putting Americans 401k or other savings into decidedly overblown speculative investments. It's a semi-sophisticated ponzi scheme writ large that has been intentionally architected by Epstein class cohort.

Trump's former communications director says: yes, Trump is a Russian agent, and if you haven't figured that out yet, you're not very smart.

Threatening physical harm or injury against members of Congress because of their performance of their duties is a felony under US law, 18 USC § 351. Elon Musk could easily be prosecuted for what he has done. But he won't be. After all, the US government is in his pocket

Sooo sick. Again. Aaargh.

He wants 45 million acres opened to logging. Public forest is not a king’s to give away. Tell your members to stop it. One minute, then vote. #VoteEarlyForNoKings

"The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power." ~ Franklin D. R.

Shit! 😳 Let’s make this nationwide.

Hands off NYC Protest to demand ICE out of New York NOW. #iceout #iceoutofny #fuckice

A win for voters! A judge ruled that the DOJ’s policy of collecting states’ unredacted voter rolls and urging states to remove voters flagged as ineligible is illegal.

Total collapse at Moscow’s airports 🛩 🚫 Ukrainian sources report that Ukraine has initiated its long-promised operation to disrupt russian air traffic. Delayed at the request of our partners, but now finally underway.

@gefgd.bsky.social Amen and alleluia.

No shit🤔💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

Really like my new crayons that are the Crayola colors of kindness set or box.

I had a good art day.

Jack Smith at last night’s Power to the People concert, wearing a Springsteen/No Kings shirt.

Amen

This is bad and it sucks, obviously. I'm guessing most of us doing this work (protesting, observing) correctly assumed this was the case. It'll likely continue to be the case. A short-term solution? We all need to get out there. These data are less relevant if we're all in the database.

They should. And also--hope keep harping on point that have no idea the validity of numbers given so much this WH has done. Recall the firing of persona because don't like the numbers and putting thumb on scale that purposely broke already

Opting out of all the ways that the major tech companies can infiltrate our lives is difficult, but not impossible. Let us know where you’re starting from today, and take the month to seek more privacy from the tools you use. www.eff.org/pages/welco...

Fuck it, I'm putting it out there: Optimism October.

The Wall Street Journal, the official paper of the owner class, is reporting that clear majorities of Americans support a pause on AI development, a wealth tax on billionaires, Medicare for All, a $20 minimum wage, and to end military aid to Israel. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Rui Pinto, the man behind the Football Leaks website, has posted a detailed allegation about Gianni Infantino’s role in UEFA’s handling of Manchester City and PSG in 2014, citing material revealed through Football Leaks. These are Pinto’s claims, and they’re worth reading in full below.

One way or another, Caitlin Clark is gonna be on SNL this Saturday.

She was gang raped for seven hours Unconscious You don’t get to say she consented to that

Pretty fucked up how refreshing and healing it is to hear someone important say out loud that Trump is a criminal and should be prosecuted. Completely gaslit nation. So bad for our brains.

Ppl are being beaten, kidnapped, n placed in concentration camps. Republican ‘leadership’ is a joke. Felon Donald J. Trump must be forcibly ousted. Full stop 🛑

The US Senate hearing with Jack Smith today sure outed the GOP senators who were seditious conspirators from any senator who was not.

One of the biggest obstacles to trans inclusivity in fieldwork is uncertainty. Here's a video of me talking about it but you can also read about it at inclusivefieldwork.leeds.ac.uk

ICE , Miller, Mullin and Homan are all perfect examples of what American democracy is NOT! Our Constitution does not allow for a Gestopo like organization to exist on American streets and neighborhoods!

Climate change is already making your life and your home more expensive. Think they've got nothing to do with each other? Think again.🧵

Morally binding agreement is code for we disclaim liability.

Just in case it wasn’t clear, when they say the U.S. Government’s paying for this, that’s YOUR taxpayer dollars they’re using. I’ll say this as many times as I need to: it is ILLEGAL to use American taxpayer dollars from the government to pay for candidates’ or parties’ political ads.

Gobsmacked by the elite levels of not knowing ball in the Senate today, thinking an NBA team is called the Hawkeyes then, refusing to Google it, then accusing a guy of treason because you didn’t know the Iowa Lady Hawkeyes aren’t in the NBA. Somehow I don’t trust these people to Save Girls Sports.

1. Garland had to sue for testimony of 14 critical witnesses w/o which there'd be no case. The court took a year to rule 2. Garland began investigating Trump when he got to DOJ. He did not wait 2 years 3. Twitter delayed the probe 4 months 4. The J6 cmte delayed it by another 2 months 5. SCOTUS

Well worth watching.

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

OMG this mariachi band doing the national anthem is amazing and an incredibly subversive political statement that I did not expect to come from… Chicago Bears management?

Before you trust the polls, remember: pollsters find the same six people who still answer unknown numbers.

The controlling what remains of media is inherent treason of the kind a free nation does not recover if allowed to stand.
