This isn't about politics. This about being a good, empathetic human being...and calling out those who are NOT! I love: #Comms, #Journalism, #AntiMAGA, #History, #Music, #Democracy, #empathy

I am ABSOLUTELY on the side of the #DOJ in the #Alaska issue. NO ONE should be putting up candidates for the sole purpose of obfuscation. It is wrong...and stupid -- no matter who does it! #election www.nytimes.com/2026/10/28/u...

There are only two explanations for the NYT's habit of presenting GOP operatives and donors as true swing voters: 1. Their reporters and editors are somehow incapable of running a simple Google searches, showing just a staggering level of journalistic incompetence 2. They want to the GOP to win

F @cnn.com Today to headline #Trump and #Obama having "competing visions. Then you dump on Dems for having Obama on the road because "they haven't found a replacement." Your neutral stance is ok with Repubs finding a N@zi depth chart tho?

The guy got in jail for living in an area of Ukraine that was occupied by Russia. To free that guy you removed sanctions? It’s like treating a headache with beheading.

JD - I've got 15 free minutes before my son's hockey practice ends, so let me see how many of Trump's enrichment schemes you didn't see that I can remind you of. 1/ First one is easy: Trump has executed over 30,000 stock trades, many on inside information, netting him millions.

Huge follow-up reporting to my scoop: The Guardian confirmed America Next—the conservative nonprofit founded by Bobby Jindal that was offering students $ to disrupt El-Sayed events—paid a firm registered to Tommy Teepell’s dad Timmy $250k for “canvassing and influencer marketing” against El-Sayed.

The @nytimes.com "questions" newsletter asks "How can my tax money be used for #tRump’s political ads?" But it doesn't answer the question. Nor does it note how it is illegal. The Times' responder? Maggie Haberman -- who still isn't on this platform, but continues on the fascist, bigot platform.

Please put Barre Seid on your right-wing douchebag list, #Chicago. Im only learning of hom now, but I hate him. Latest: paying people to basically feed rats in Lincoln Park gizmodo.com/a-billionair...

gizmodo.comA Billionaire Is Fueling a Rat Explosion in a Chicago Park in the Stupidest Way PossibleUndeterred by fines and warnings, 94-year-old electronics billionaire Barre Seid has been accused of creating a “public health hazard” by paying henchmen to feed park animals en masse.

@leftofphilosophy.bsky.social, loving the pod (new listener!). At 15:00, when you talk about the shift in 2008, I'm curious why no mention of overt racism became a greater fuel source for this hyperpoliticism. Everything was done in Congress to ensure the first black president would fail.

NEW: Remember when John Oliver opened a church to expose how easy it was to get tax exemptions? This year, ProPublica reporters set out to establish private schools to test if, truly, anyone could open one. We founded two. Here’s how.

#Chicago, know that mayoral candidate John Kelly is a "moderate Democrat." His wife is full blown #tRump. You know what that means about what he's ok with.
