Welcome to the Era of Big Stupid in America. It might just be the death of us.
Welcome to the Era of Big Stupid in America, which is no longer anti-intellectual. We’re actively anti-intellect. It might be the death of us. Free Access Article. www.esquire.com/news-politic...
From bridges to town halls, ordinary people are resisting Trump, refusing to stay silent, and showing that democracy lives in our communities—not just in D.C. Every small act matters in the fight for our democracy. #Velshi
BREAKING: Gavin Newsom to make an announcement tomorrow at 2:05 😏
Also, the 2024 election was tainted by the fact that the Supreme Court ignored the PLAIN TEXT of the Constitution and allowed Trump to run. Trump was patently ineligible! Insurrectionists cannot hold office. That the Court is corrupt doesn't change that. We can read the Constitution! 1/

Bluesky’s search engine is glitchy. I search for a headline and find no matches. Then I type in two words for the topic and there are multiple posts with the EXACT headline I searched for.
Meena Thiruvengadam writes, "I know what it’s like to have inconsiderate houseguests — the kind where you can’t wait for them to leave. I don’t ever want to be that person when I’m in another country."
Weird isn’t it? 👹

@advocacywarrior.bsky.social Welcome to the conversation. Toronto Star knows.

Never forget this: Working people outnumber the billionaires and CEOs by a huge margin. If workers stand together, they will win. Solidarity.
Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.
It ... it incredibly unsettling when people say "signs" of Eugenics when RKF Jr.'s stated policy on diseases is (paraphrased) ... "only the weak die from diseases so it's ok for diseases to spread through society" That is not only erroneous, but also an *explicitly* Eugenic stance.

Trump continues to pursue an imperial presidency. Here's what you need to know to be ready to follow events in court this week: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
Are we sure it’s not just a hairpiece & a 🎙️? It’s repulsive rubbish!
TY! We launched our canvasses today in central Ohio. Our suburb is in 3 counties, multiple twps & one school district. Today we canvassed in all 3 counties for a City Council, a Twp Trustee & a School Board candidate w more candidates set to join in coming weeks to defend democracy. LFG! 🗽🗳️💙💪
Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:
Paul Krugman says President Trump is facing a "self-inflicted disaster" amid trade war thehill.com/business/547...
Oh, Andy Borowitz. What a gem you are.

Glazing over- in my own family. 😡 Nevertheless, I persist!
www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... In a heat wave if your air conditioning breaks you may die 😓👉🏼you'd think the government instead of spending millions sending troops to landscape in DC we could provide money to these people in dire straits so they could continue living 🤨 😔
Leonard Leo’s Catholic machine built the courts. Evangelicals mobilize the base. Billionaires fund it. Now tech lords join in. The “Unholy Trinity” becomes the “Big Four”, a fusion of law, money, faith & code driving Project 2025. #StopProject2025 #WeFightForTheChildren
Happy Sunday from gerrymandered Ohio where we’re launching our canvass for progressive School Board , City Council & Twp trustee candidates today! Bc WE make the difference in our community! LFG! 💙🗳️ bsky.app/profile/gobu...
Pritzker on Trump sending troops into cities: "He has other aims other than fighting crime... he would like to stop the elections in 2026 or frankly take control of those elections. He'll just claim there's some problem with an election and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control."
So sorry to hear about Patrick. 😔 I know someone who was hit while cycling in the suburbs. He was in neon yellow & T-boned by a driver who turned left into him. They added bike lanes there but distracted drivers & teens harassing riders have still nearly missed him. EYES on the road! 🚴🏿♂️🚴♀️
Ten years ago, my friend Rik Wanninkhof's son, Patrick, was killed while cycling across the US doing charity work for Habitat for Humanity. The woman who killed him was using her mobile phone. She was also a nurse, like the woman in the video. Rik is still devastated. Don't text and drive.
When billionaires care about society, they can make huge strides. This is how she started. Sure looks like Chan gave up & decided to give in.
Art of the Deal: Zuckerberg capitulated to and appeased Trump, so the Bozo Fascist has used U.S. muscle to help Meta/Facebook around the world. Crony capitalism at the highest level. Silicon Valley sells out to the dictator. www.platformer.news/trump-zucker...
This is Trump and Elon’s plan. Kill grandma. Buy her house. End USAID. Buy the failing farms. Use private equity to close trusted businesses. Crash everything and snatch up the wreckage for pennies on the dollar.
Since everyone's talking about the latest mass shooting manifesto, here's something I wrote for @theprogressivemag.bsky.social earlier this year about how mass shooters are networking and encouraging one another in online spaces. progressive.org/magazine/no-...
The Haslams could have had endless good will in Columbus after the Crew were saved, but they managed to burn through all of it in record time, and that’s honestly impressive even by the standards of evil sports owners
Here’s your reminder that Vivek Ramaswamy moved his own business out of Ohio to Texas #gobucks #hornsdown
There’s one around here somewhere…….I got it on an app on my phone thank goodness. I think my Spectrum tech messed up the karma of this game tho!
Roadkill Robert is NONE OF THIS. He’s a eugenics boosting conspiracy theorist. They are here to DESTROY democracy and US.
Not Spectrum arriving to fix our internet issues and taking the cable out on a 4th down of the Buckeyes v Texass game .🙄🙄🙄
“Former Vice President Kamala Harris will receive protection from the California Highway Patrol.”

Entrapment @ Courthouses!
Too much talk about overreacting. Not enough about underreacting.
Dems need to drop articles of impeachment against Kennedy as soon as congress hits the floor this week. We need to call for his impeachment everywhere! Bobby brainworm is a crank ruling with eugenics & internet quackery. 🚨🧠🐛
NINE rural hospitals may close. MSU's SNAP-Ed program, which provides some schools with their ONLY phys ed program or ONLY school nurse, will be cancelled as of October 1st of THIS YEAR. Here's more:
And roads clear around Columbus!

The 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🔥: Tom Hartman & Richard Cordray 👏 (Fmr OH AG, Fmr Director of CFPB & should have been OH Gov). Straight talk about this dangerous administration. Hey @msnbc.com more of this (& less Kasich).🙄
As @davidkurtz.bsky.social notes, this case has been a test of whether our system can withstand levels of bad faith and abuses of power that seem designed to strain the law's very ability to function. I hope this thread demonstrates how unfathomably terrible their conduct has truly been. 11/11
Let's not forget, as @leahlitman.bsky.social says, that this coercion has been enabled by the Supreme Court allowing deportations to third countries to go forward. SCOTUS has enabled this "campaign of terror" against Abrego to go forward, Litman writes. /9 crookedmedia.substack.com/p/the-suprem...
Now the admin seems to have tried to coerce him into pleading to trafficking (dubious to begin with), by offering a choice: A plea and you go to Costa Rica. No plea and it's Uganda. That's vile. And @annabower.bsky.social notes, it exposes still more bad faith. 8/ bsky.app/profile/anna...
Note that DHS Sec Kristi Noem's announcement of this states AS FACT numerous charges against Abrego. But the administration couldn't produce real evidence of MS-13 ties despite trying for MONTHS. He has been convicted of NONE of the criminal charges lodged here. Guilty until proven innocent. 2/

More retirement news: Conservative Wisconsin justice Rebecca Bradley will NOT seek reelection next spring. Liberals (as you all know now) have a 4-3 majority on this high-stakes supreme court. This is their shot to go up 5-2, in April.

This won't end all tariffs. This ruling applies to tariffs applied to entire countries (which is most of the tariff agenda). The industry-specific tariffs use a different legal authority, and will remain. The White House has other (more limited) tariff powers it'll dust off.
Tough. His stupid, fucking tariffs are unconstitutional.
Most of Trump’s tariffs are illegal, federal court rules
They are asking all of us to not say out loud "The Emperor has no clothes," lest it embarrass him.
"Dangerous embarrassment" pretty much sums up every one of the last 200 days.

Heads up, in Texas people don’t matter👇🏼 Flood relief measures stalled during a special legislative session due to partisan battles over redistricting. This left disaster aid in limbo while political maneuvering over congressional maps took precedence.
👆exactly!

What boggles the mind is that those who decided to not vote or sit this one out, are the very ones being steamrolled by the current administration yet holding dems responsible for these actions. A good example is the Uncommitted movement with Gaza being decimated in real time, chooses to blame dems.
