Hey Elon, I have a message for you. Representative Jim Himes

Empathy for me an' not for thee...

This brings into focus what's ailing our body politic.

Among the many many many reasons to vote, here's one to consider: Let's prove that billionaires can't buy an election. Let's prove it in a big way.

Meta has sabatoged Instagram account for No Kings

I'm going to say one more thing about this. A meta-thing, if you will. I think legal commentators with elite legal backgrounds (all of them, not just Steve) need to reckon with the fact that they have a personal interest in maintaining the panache of their credentials.

Th' vibes are strong with this one...

Have you registered to vote? Have you checked your registration to make sure? Here is a list of resources for state election offices and ballot trackers: www.vote.org/ballot-track...

'Being seen', has it's upsides...

For just a moment, the world saw their true nature. This is a real photo. F*cking chilling.

Room empties out at the UN as Netanyahu begins his speech.

Trump's ban on MSNOW, CNN, and Politico is not only part of the autocratic playbook, but the timing is no coincidence. Trump is well in the autocratic backfire process, thus, entire media outlets he sees as threats must be banished. This is a moment of reckoning for America.

Tom Massie posted a calendar labeling the days of work Mike Johnson canceled because of him.

America enshittified itself in one decade. That's all it took.

Yeah!!!!

AI won't kill everyone, but a billionaire cultist might very use AI to help him figure out how to kill everyone. The AI cultists are Heaven's Gate on steriods, only it's an AI religion and not a UFO religion, and their target is the human race and not just their own cult.

I recommend this post to everyone as an explanation of how we got here.

I had an interesting conversation with a postal worker today about using generative AI as a normie who cannot draw anything more than a stick figure and didn't want to bother an artist with their silly ideas. Speaking as an artist to normies, please bother me your silly ideas.

I have been reading @emptywheel.bsky.social since her firedoglake days. she is always insightful. go watch this

Remember when John Kerry got swiftboated for his ACTUAL Silver Star, Bronze Star, and three Purple Hearts?

One REASON why press performs like trained seals like this is bc the far right has mastered using social media to pressure MSM to do so (it's not the only reason but it is one reason). That's why I harp so much on finding a response TO THAT. We don't need to do that but we do need to do something.

Please be vocal about not using AI. We have to normalize it. No "I'm not going to say that because it should be assumed. I'm not going to give them this". We don't have time for that shit ideological shit right now. NOW is the time to capitalize on waning favorability. Ppl want human made

Nice flag...

🔥 “But it also explains why the Fox News host turned cabinet secretary does it: to keep him from getting drunk and fucking other ladies.

“It’s never a good idea to fire competent generals in the middle of a war you’re losing.” We are so fucked

Hoooooooly crap. Marcy puts it all together here. It's a lot worse of a picture overall than even my most cynical take to this point...

When we think about things that we need to smash into bits in order for none of this to happen ever again, American Exceptionalism needs to be on the list, right under (and conjoined with) white supremacy.

The US has built a mythology internally that relies on the entire world to sustain, but to admit this would be to shatter the narrative we have that We Are The Greatest and The Rest Of the World Needs Us And Sometimes We Deign To Help Them.

Ay-yup

Tsk-tsk...

Latest piece. With the withdrawal of the last US aircraft carrier from the Western Pacific, the overall degradation of the US military, and the US now openly attacking its former allies, we need to face a stunning reality: An "age" is ending. phillipspobrien.substack.com/p/is-the-ame...

Let's hope so !

Since when is this outta-the-state residency been ok.... .....an' I am not referencing Oklahoma!

Fascinating -- I did not know any of this www.nytimes.com/2026/08/02/o...

When you RT Trump's bullshit posts w/no filter, you help to make them go viral, you WILLINGLY confirm that he is the arbiter of truth, and you also drown out news reports on his abuse. He plays you all every single time.

One of the things the right absolutely does not want to be reminded of is which administration imposed COVID restrictions on them, or who Dr. Fauci worked for at that time.

I’m trying to reconcile Trump still owning Operation Warp Speed as a victory (which it was) with GOP claiming the vaccine killed millions of people. Isn’t the person to blame, then, Trump, not Fauci??

That's a wrap, folks.....

Absolutely heartbreaking letter from the mother of Alex Pretti, six months after his murder by ICE agents. How is it possible that we still haven’t seen even a hint of justice for such a heinous crime?
