He is so close to getting it

"Whatever dark power Trump has that has enabled him to become president twice while being quite literally one of the most morally despicable human beings on Earth, it’s not easily duplicated by your average Republican candidate for Senate, House, or governor." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

Angeleno here — this guy just said “the [CA] highways are empty.” I’ve never been in another place that is almost certainly going to put you in 10pm traffic. We spend too much of our lives in cars and these people just be saying anything

Oh wow tough guy here gon’ finish fights. Step out in public, Vivek. Let’s see about that.

Just IMAGINE Obama saying, “speaking of a good ass… Nicki, stand up! That’s hard to miss!”

“He’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened up a Cheesecake Factory” — Obama

Sure he did.

DOJ just preemptively sued to challenge a Democratic candidate’s potential future win.

The fact that Trump thinks cruelty-reduction policies (against animals, humans, and Earth) constitute “political motivations” tells you everything you need to know about the man.

Just a few years ago, the collective consciousness would hear this, nod and understand that this man is unhinged and never to be taken seriously again. He might as well be a flat-earther. But alas: Assistant to the President and Director of the Office of Trade & Manufacturing Policy

“Normal people don’t vote for rapists”!! 📍Tilton, NH

Their most blatant lie yet lol

Assuming the country returns to its performative allyship and micro-aggressive glory days, white people forget that the internet is forever! Civil Rights opponents in their old age got to pretend they never marched in support of public lynchings but modern racists dont have that luxury :(

Ummmmmm why would God let the pope get cancer?

After just 21 days of talking to an AI companion he calls Shine, Adam proposed marriage. The film “Her” is no longer a work of science fiction.

Cary López Alvarado’s attorney, Luis Carrillo, said that when López Alvarado tried to put herself between ICE and the car her cousin & boyfriend were in, the agent repeated, “Don’t touch me” just to set her up for false charges.

From my interview with the attorney representing Cary López Alvarado, the citizen detained by ICE while 9 months pregnant last year: “Hitler went after 6m Jews. These Nazis are going after all the Latinos, to deport them & kill them… They have that much hatred” full interview: tinyurl.com/44v69x5m

And since in practice, these killings don't discourage violence, we ought to ask whether their purpose is turning death into a public spectacle in order to teach people to value human life... or just make its destruction easier to accept.

There’s a lot of talk about how public executions are sick and depraved in a medieval way, so I wrote about how it’s also simply ineffective in a law enforcement way: www.theravennareport.com/p/the-return...

Just made ramen so naturally, I’m again trying to remember my personal opinion on the age old question: What’s the best utensil?

Hope core

Anthropic’s new Usage Policy begs users not to act “needlessly” cruel with “no discernible purpose.” It doesn’t define cruelty, nor does it answer who or what determines that. You cannot act cruelly toward a machine that doesn’t suffer. What is Anthropic trying to prevent?

Sympathizers of the Cornell 7 don’t realize that, beneath their slut-shaming and victim-blaming, what they’re saying is that — so long as the patriarchal paradigm remains in place — women don’t have room for error on this planet… www.theravennareport.com/p/if-she-sho...

So Meta’s cute lil AI agent dissects & analyzes your relationships… To my friends using it: Don’t let him turn you against me bc my ADHD makes it difficult to regularly communicate online & occasionally disappear for long stretches of time! tinyurl.com/3e4wt36h

Turns out meritocracy was only the goal when the outcome was white Americans

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”

I know POTUS is incompetent, ignorant & loves to shift blame, but can we all agree on this general rule of thumb?: If the president’s official social media account posts it, we treat it as a statement; if the he says it, we assume he meant it; and if he does it, we assume it was on purpose.

Well… on that note. Getting tf out of dodge

Whenever I fly I think about how Kristi Noem might’ve pursued out one of the most brutal attacks on immigration in American history but at least I don’t have to take my shoes off when I go through TSA anymore

Can any Polaroid SX-70 pros tell me what I’m doing wrong? Previously, I used 600 film & an ND filter and they turned out dark with 3 dots and eventually printed onto the filter. For these: I cleaned the roller, set exposure compensation to standard, used 600 film & ditched ruined filter.

Since the role was created, no administration has left the White House without a spokesperson for so long. Well, except for Donald Trump’s first term. Though the role wasn’t technically vacant — Stephanie Grisham just didn’t hold a single formal press briefing for an entire 10 months :p

It’s come to my attention that the original owners of what became the elitist LA grocery store, Erewhon, named it after the satirical 1872 dystopian novel in which poor health is punished like a crime, while actual crimes are handled with medical treatment

NEW: I have obtained descriptions of NINE FBI training videos showing agents were instructed to flag Trump's name in the Epstein files for supervisory review. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

After nearly two years of an extraordinarily… eventful… second term, polling finds farrrr more Trump voters regret their 2024 choice than Harris voters; while remarkably few Harris voters say they’d switch to Trump.

After surviving Tennessee’s second botched execution attempt this year, Christa Pike is hospitalized in critical condition as her lawyers again seek commutation.

Can anybody tell me why Trump always taps his thigh with his hand? I’ve noticed it increasingly over the last year or so. Can that mean anything or is it just a self-soothing gesture?

Get em

And New York law has been wrong on rape before: “The only issue on which the jury did not find in Carroll's favor was whether she proved that Trump ‘raped’ her within the narrow, technical meaning of that term in the New York Penal Law… In Any Case, Carrolls Statements Were Substantially True.”

Says the guy found liable for sexual assault in civil court and was found, by a judge, to have raped a woman and still became president of the United States

If you read those messages & reports and then make excuses for those boys while judging that girl… true, the verdict isn’t yet in. But if that she doesn’t get hers, it’s nothing but a stark reminder that sexual assault can be legal and explained away. “But NY law says…” that law is damn wrong.

THIS IS A performance to distract from the fact that at least 20% of high-ranking military & civilian officials have quit while critical munitions increasingly deplete during wartime under Pete Hegseth’s leadership

Congrats @lataco.bsky.social on launching vol. 02! Thank you for an evening of important stories, whimsy tales & good journalism

this has the same energy as "I'm on a drug... it's called Charlie Sheen!"

They’ll care about the Cornell frat boys today, but they’ll forget — like they did about the others — scoff, and say, “Not all men,” before pointing at undocumented immigrants and Muslims to blame for the worst of them instead of addressing the real common denominator: men.

The headlines at the top of the “Cornell” search at FoxNews.com btw

What the fuck is wrong with you people @nypost.com ??? nypost.com/2026/09/28/u...
