Look guys, the martial law is temporary. It’s just a brief vacation from having any rights.
This prize would make the winner the only tax-paying billionaire in America.
My guess for Trump's presser today:
Never. If you eat lunch now, you'll have time for a snack later.
An officer briefly became the face of Trump’s brutality mandate in DC after popping up in various videos like federal Forrest Gump. @jsweetli.bsky.social and I investigated and found he’s a 26-year-old former Eagle Scout named Patrick O’Hanlon who says he was just doing his job. Our report:
Kitchen chairs count, right?
they’re all this guy
Kiss your retirement goodbye.
Actually…THIS is why Harris lost. Did you think he was joking about being a dictator? Did you think he was joking when he said he would roll back student loan forgiveness? Project 2025 was a joke? He’d crack down on universities? Well guess what…WE FUCKING TOLD YOU SO. Fix your demographic!!!
Never forget: Ronald Reagan and the GOP are absolutely responsible for everything you see happening today.

the DOJ atty (& 2x Harvard grad) who suggested Harvard showed "wanton indifference to antisemitism" once wrote a paper from the perspective of Hitler & expressed admiration for Mein Kampf stunning reporting from @hilaryburns.bsky.social @talkopan.bsky.social www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/02/m...
❤️ Wouldn't surprise me one bit if Italians are the ones finally doing it
One of my Supreme Court reform takes is they should be completely barred from taking any outside income (incl. publishing deals) and it should be particularly frowned upon, normatively, to be writing books. Memoirs are for writing after you retire, not five years into a lifetime appointment.
So who picked up the package thrown out the White House window?
This is amazing. The man is gay with a husband and a twink lover who killed himself 10 minutes after talking to him on the phone. But he has so much money that it apparently overrides American Evangelicals' previous apprehensions to that
“In 2017, O’Hanlon was captured at Trump’s first inauguration festivities in DC decked out in his full Eagle Scouts uniform. The photographer who took the photo wrote on his personal website of ‘the Boy Scout kid that looked like a Brownshirt.’”
Time to remind people about the Commercial Pattern Archive — it doesn’t have instructions and search is a bear but there’s two hundred years’ worth of clothing patterns in here including all the big names new and old: copa.apps.uri.edu
"We think it's our responsibility to educate people." Then, my dude, GIVE KIDS A FUCKING BOOK AND LET THEM READ IT ON THEIR OWN.

Real talk, though, this is what can happen when Europeans surrender their actual identities to partake in the social and political advantages of "whiteness." Their "heritage" becomes corporate logos.

I am amused that Mamdani is seen as a raving communist for suggesting mid-tier FDR type reforms and there's an actual Eugene Debs dude running for Senate in Maine and he's not freaking out anybodyyyy oh yes. Shit. He's white. Sorry, I just got it. Go about your business.

I love this! Imagine Jane Austen's sitting room and personal library, now turn it into book shop on wheels. "The shelves are divided into sections and currently bear 380 books. They’re inspired by what Herndon thinks Austen might read if she were alive today" www.inquirer.com/news/jane-au...

The Residence season 2 is back on?
White supremacy is always about (subtlely or blatantly) diagnosing ppl who resist the lies with mental illness. It's one of the tried and true tactics. It has to be somewhere in the handbook.
AI is the clearest example of the way white supremacist capitalism extracts the talent, labor, and life out of millions of people for the enrichment and psychological enrapturement of a few. There is a pleasure there in saying you've beaten those with a talent you never had and never worked to earn.
N95 masks are a tool that prevents cancer Research shows that COVID is oncogenic & so is wildfire smoke People will do anything to prevent cancer EXCEPT wear a mask 🤡
Rich White Men Only Need Apply. Well, at least they are finally being honest with us. They like the racist patriarchy just fine, but with a few nods to social goods and less institution destruction.

Discworld QOTD, from Men at Arms
What's the most amount of red flags you can fit in a paragraph?
These ghouls keeping children up at 1:30 in the morning. Fuck these people.
Everyone upset the Acela runs as slow as Japan’s 1970s trains: Amtrak had a plan 15 years ago to straighten tracks in CT & RI. A few thousand wealthy locals killed it, costing us 25 minutes in time savings between Boston and NYC.
Statement from Trump about his good friend Rudy Giuliani who was injured in a serious car crash on Saturday:
Side note: The nuns let her keep the needles and hooks when she went to a foster home. They're in my possession today, along with all the other fabric supplies she accumulated in her life. 🥰
When my grandmother was in an orphanage (they called it school, an "academy"), the nuns taught her to sew, knit, and crochet because "no one can take that away from you." Friends, the firm that sold the pattern brands also owns Boye needles. They're going to try and take it away from us.
Like… in 2000, they did this Live, *In Düsseldorf*, three days after 4/20. I mean GOD DAMN. m.youtube.com/watch?v=OLkP...
It makes me emotional to see Judge Sooknanan showing that she values each individual child’s life at a moment when this administration is doing exactly the opposite
I admire the fact that Judge Sooknanan is in her early 40s and can still function off a few hours of sleep two days in a row.
Republicans: “Stop making everything about race.” Really? White people enslaved Black people for generations, stole Native land, lynched and segregated us, burned down Black communities that thrived, and treated Mexican land & labor like property to be taken. America already made it about race.
Fifty-one of the 85 Federalist papers were written by a guy born in Nevis.

I think we need a version of "First They Came" that is about medications. "First they came for the abortion meds and birth control pills Then they came for the vaccines" People on ADHD meds, parents of children on ADHD meds: we're next on that list.
Meanwhile, did you see? A federal judge on Friday allowed the Trump admin and the Oklahoma AG to use his court to subvert democracy through a sham lawsuit manufactured to get rid of a pro-immigrant state law they don’t like without needing to go through the trouble of actually repealing the law.
Just know this. Blood is on your hands, and you should remember that the Nuremberg trials convicted the propagandist “journalists” and the complicit politicians who enabled the Holocaust. Even now. Speak up. End this horror. End this genocide. And be on the right side of history. For once. 4/4
People will repeatedly refuse to recognize the importance of anti-Blackness to the current moment despite being given every signal of its importance.
universe loading the bases for a walkoff grand slam
By the time DOJ files this status report, Judge Sooknanan will have been awake for nearly 20 hours.
i am almost 40 and i literally do not have any point in my life where the right wing has not been doing moral panics about imaginary child abuse while institutionally working to enable real abuse of real children. if it's not the satanic panic it's fucking pronouns.
considering republicans are trying to traffic children literally as we speak, “we will protect your children from republicans” is a broadly applicable goal that seems easy to sell but i guess we don’t talk about child safety at the kitchen table?
The initial complain mentioned hundreds. This is 76. Are the hundreds already accounted for and these are the remainder?
Anna has had excellent coverage of this developing case in which the Trump administration tried to use the holiday weekend to secretly and illegally deport children.

More people need to have boundaries they hold , and name when they were wrong before and why they ain’t doing that no more . And it’s even better when they are funny as hell while doing it .

Congrats again, everyone
Reasons I will wear an N95 when teaching this fall 2025: - WHO still classifies COVID-19 as a pandemic - WHO still recommends masking in indoor public spaces - 5 years watching long-COVID progressively disable my husband - don't like participating in eugenics - want to protect my cats and your kids
Connect the dots further. All of these white Republicans doing media hits talking about the places where they are so terrified to be are just saying without saying that they are afraid to be around Black people and anywhere that we have a large vibrant presence is de facto unsafe to them.
You took a (long) break from wearing a mask, right? You got away with it. But, guess what? There's a *lot* more Covid around again. And, access to vax is up in the air. Just put a (good) mask on again when you're out and about and you'll be much more protected as well as protecting others. ✨✨✨
Heeey!! Added trauma: my mom would yell at me when I knew words she didn't know
Biden should go for a bike ride or something. Go to Baskin-Robins and get a cone. 🤷🏻♀️
Cool to see this federal agency schedule an important workshop for early career people to overlap perfectly with Rosh Hashanah This, actually, is the antisemitism problem, not people who oppose genocide
Sex work is 1000% more honorable and socially beneficial than working as an ICE agent.
we don't need to investigate Trump on his loan forms, he already was convicted for lying about what he put down.
Starting? Did you forget that time he tried to get his own VP killed by an angry mob?
"Is he dead", asked Piglet. "No", said Poo. "Fuck", said Piglet.
I'm claiming NJ Transit as my own and washing the windows on all the trains.
Do we head to Columbus Circle and party there like we all did when he lost to Biden? Or do we hop an Amtrak down to DC and celebrate there? Margaritas or champagne? So many options!
On one hand, reducing car use reduces urban pollution. But on the other, everyone likes it and cities become more livable
I am continuously struck by how the worst, biggest dipshits you have ever seen have *all* hitched their stars to this nazi administration. The tech ceo's are literally getting military titles, they're getting government positions, half the administration is made up of media personalities, etc

I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset. In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia. In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)

Traveling soon? Stay protected during the COVID-19 surge by wearing a high-quality mask in crowded or indoor spaces like an N95, KN95 or KF94. Learn more: www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID...
You know when Trump kicks it and Thiel's puppet takes over, Booker and Schumer will be all "dialog and common good and Americans unite and wait and see" instead of "get fucked, you disingenuous shittoad." Siiigh
The maddening thing is that we know EXACTLY how to prevent this. Yes, kids should get vaccinated, test, stay home when sick, mask as much as possible. But even without any of that: Better ventilation and filtration in schools can MASSIVELY reduce viral spread, for all sorts of respiratory diseases.
Live your life such that everyone doesn’t spend ten solid years planning the rager they’re going to throw when you die.
I'm not a reporter, but I used to have a blog and I make a very good zucchini bread, so tell me and we'll have tea or something.
Welch: As someone who lives in a red state, let me just tell you what MAGA supermajorities get you. We're 50th in education. The worst in the whole country for women to live. We're poorer, worst health care. And if you look at the bottom ten states, they are all MAGA supermajorities.
me: I think nigella lawson should be a judge on the great british baking show Them:
Everyone else: "Yeah, no shit."
Y'all. Please check in on the elders in your life. It's easy for them to lose their balance, fall, and get injured. And then catch some respiratory virus while they're in the hospital... Check in. Help with errands. Help them up and down stairs. And mask up to keep them healthy.
Are they trying to rewrite Dubya's legacy ON THIS DAY like his neglect of New Orleans was an oopsie? Kanye saying he didn't care about Black people was the last time he was right. Y'all gone whitewash all these fascists including Trump & give them storied places in the pantheon.

🚨🚨🚨🚨 Attention #Oklahomans 🚨🚨🚨🚨 Covid numbers are on the rise again, so I was told at my local Native clinic. So, PLEASE, for all that's holy to you, MASK UP again people!!!! Mvto! 🙏🏽😷😷😷😷😷 #ThinkOfSomeoneBesidesYourself
In case you're wondering...
Is she saying she's quitting because she can't be as fascist as she wants to be, am I reading that wrong?
In a two week period: Trump fired 7 of the 8 members who do independent federal oversight on nuclear waste. Peter Thiel (Palantir) is found to be backing the first privately developed uranium enrichment facility in the US.
This is somehow more egregious than when they spent months calling everyone who ordered PPVs instead of subscribing to the network stupid

Does that apply to people who made their appts last night? Because nothing that I can recall mentioned getting a prescription when I made mine around 10pm.
