This story doesn't include "Trump" in the headline and doesn't mention his name until eight paragraphs in (and only once more after that.) There's not a single comment from unions or workers impacted by this downturn. And the story pushes hard on the idea that it'll all change in the winter.
now I'm not saying the russians poisoned trump, maybe with say some radiation, at the alaska summit, but it's kind of their thing and he's stupid enough to fall for it and it's been 2 weeks
That’s f’d up.
The first Black mayor of a tiny Alabama town has overwhelmingly won an election, four years after White residents locked him out of the town hall and refused to let him serve. https://cnn.it/4p0fkwn
We're governed by a bunch of sick mfs.
every game dev who was part of the "this elemental attack actually heals this enemy" thing needs to be arrested
‘presidential confidante dies of radiant damage’
It was right after the cankles news cycle
I'm going to be careful about how I phrase this, because we've mostly avoided it so far. I think most of you are already on this line but I want it down for the record.
Afghan scholar Mohammad Halimi, who fled the Taliban in 2021, had worked to help U.S. diplomats understand his homeland. Then DOGE put his family’s lives at risk by exposing his sensitive work for a U.S.-funded nonprofit.
Lots of people on this website seem to be praying for the health of all three men right now. It’s great to see so many people putting politics aside to recognize these cherished elder statesmen.
Get the hell off Substack before you literally can’t anymore without blowing up your business
we need remedial lying classes for autistic people dealing with fascism. like for self defense
That makes sense, yeah. Good idea, if you can afford one.
we contain multitudes here in our nations capital
innocent!!!
One statistic provided within this internal document, a 416% increase in perceived “suicide by cop” by officers. “Suicide by cop” is a fairly controversial term, of course. But very possible we could learn something from additional instances of officers perceiving the situation as such.
LAPD has shot 30 people this year, and last year at this time we were at 19, according to Chief McDonnell. One of his explanations to commission last week was “an uptick on the willingness of criminals within the community to assault officers head on.” Let’s break this down using internal docs:
never let anyone tell you it’s too late to follow your dreams
Big popular accounts add alt text to you screenshots challenge (impossible).
theyre calling it the last great adventure folks, can you believe that? well we’re gonna do it better than anyone has ever dreamed before. theyre saying theyve never seen anyone heading toward the light quite as quickly, the biggest beautiful light theyve ever seen
🧵 1/4 🚨 Spotted in Oxnard, CA: Community alert posters are warning that a security guard is working for ICE and has engaged in following activists in his personal vehicle.
Prince Andrew ‘stayed in touch with Epstein five years longer than claimed’ www.thetimes.com/uk/royal-fam... In his Newsnight interview, the duke said he dropped contact with the paedophile in 2010. Emails suggest they were still talking in late 2015
Is there a mute list for people whose profile name matches their username?
A lot of the discourse about Newsom comes down to people finding ways to say “I just think trans people aren’t as important as my other concerns” but saying it in the most cowardly way because they know how dick they would sound it they said it directly But we all know what you are, transphobes
David Pakman going from GamerGate “it’s about ethics in games journalism” moron to accepting dark money to spew DNC-approved talking points in his “journalism” is SO FUCKING FUNNY www.wired.com/story/dark-m...
Genocide. We all need to keep collectively calling it exactly what it is. Especially us cis folks. When they’re done gunning for the most vulnerable groups they’ll just go after the next most vulnerable and won’t stop because they never stop. Thats what hatred is. It’s Genocide, plain and simple.
Me when my wife sees the browser history
this should become a thing, putting up signs like this for every arrest & disappearance in public spaces. it would likely break into lower info, less politically engaged demos and local social media groups
What?
Sparkle Sooknanan has the best name of any Article III judge imo
POV: You’re in the whimsical house with the secret rooms.
Way before Jan 6, when a Trump speech was followed by his fans storming the capitol, there was the PBA riot, when a Giuliani speech was followed by NYPD cops storming NY City Hall, calling Dinkins, the city's 1st Black mayor, the n-word, and threatening him with harm. Giuliani won the next election
NEW -- Exactly 10 days after taking the oath early this year, Donald Trump nearly drowned dozens, potentially hundreds, of his own citizens in California’s Central Valley. Why? Because he is one of the most ignorant people you will ever meet. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
Every five minutes some rich guy somewhere is like I have a brand new idea: colonization!
Full-stadium "Free DC" chant at Audi right now.
Judge Sooknanan: As I said at the start of this hearing, I got a call at 2:36 am [last night] because the government chose the wee hours of the morning on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend to execute a plan to move these children. That's why we're here.
Sooknanan explains the circumstances of how/when she got the case. First got a call around 2 am last night, entered TRO and set hearing. Moved up hearing after receiving call from plaintiffs to notify her that children were in process of being removed. Then entered new TRO for putative class.
15 years ago today I took an incredibly on-the-nose photo
At least 50 National Guard with long guns around Audi field and Navy Yard metro station as I leave the Washington Spirit soccer game. Free DC.
“Never felt better” says guy with visible effects of vascular health issues… Must be on the “good stuff”
Okay. I just came back to this and you aren’t calling these efforts resegregation yet, you absolutely should be
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
making some pita bread for a greek-themed potluck with friends
Watching my father make this switch was gutting. I feel so betrayed. They *indoctrinated* me into this shit and never believed it
Trump's contribution to our politics was exposing that conservatives don't care about any of the principles they've said are sacrosanct for 100 years, and all they wanted was to be openly evil instead of circuitously evil. The Democrats who win will be the ones who understand this and act like it
One of the way they are making us less safe in DC is initiating police chases and causing crashes: www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
News agencies should put the date in any headline about the daily “30 Palestinians killed trying to get food” just to emphasize it’s not the same story being reprinted for the three hundredth time
I even told people that on Mastodon
I got arrested yesterday! (real drop off from being a corporate law firm associate five months ago. or upgrade.) I was blocking vehicles leaving from ICE’s Broadview, IL, staging ground and de facto detention center at 1930 Beach St. full statement (for now) below.
Just saw this TikTok from someone in DC.
i feel like the lot of the country stopped paying attention after the stories about how they're all just wandering the Mall harmlessly and then lost the thread from there like the oafishness here is truly very funny but also... they're just breaking into an apartment complex???
I actually really love finding out so getting to fuck around beforehand is just a bonus
Oh he’s posted that specific image before. religiondispatches.org/we-would-be-...
Oh, the initials are SS. Right. I’m sure that’s… Anyway, answering my question, Trump retruths him a lot www.yahoo.com/news/trump-p...
Does it say Q+ in the palm of his left hand?
That plus he’s gonna hit a few big dem cities simultaneously
The planet usually isn’t on fire like that. Seems bad. Also, do we know who SpiritualStreetfighter is (over his right shoulder)?
The capitalized words make too much sense to emphasize. I don’t think it’s him
Why don’t you send everyone proof of life first? (Either way, Chicago doesn’t want you here)
historical controversy over the date of Trump's death between "whenever it actually happens" and "yesterday"
Pretty sure I’m hearing a couple great horned owls getting friendly, and as I was staring at Merlin, I missed that my dog had slipped out back where the sprinklers are currently going. Hope he didn’t take another sprinkler head off.
Many years ago a friend and roommate, in an attempt to praise me, said I was “the kind of guy that buys two ply toilet paper” (I think his father stocked single ply) I decided I was going to write a self help book called the 2ply lifestyle.
it's on bitches
![[Picture of blue Charmin bear holding toilet paper] Fuck Everything, We're Doing Five Ply Published: August 30, 2025 Would someone tell me how this happened? We were the fucking vanguard of shitting in this country. The Ultra Soft Mega Roll was the paper to wipe your ass with. Then the other guy came out with a two ply bog roll. Were we scared? Hell, no. Because we hit back with a little thing called the Ultra Strong Mega XXL Roll. That's one ply but like super fucking strong. You could string it between two trees and make a hammock out of it. Like not for an adult or anything, but for a kid? Abso-goddamned-lutely. But you know what happened next? Shut up, I'm telling you what happened — the bastards went to three ply. Now we're standing around with shit on our fingers, selling one ply and, well let's face it the hammock business never really took off. XXL or no, suddenly we're the chumps. Well, fuck it. We're going to five ply.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2hwwem55ce6djnk6bn62cstr/bafkreigleol6ybc7emmcnle4mc2yvmzt7wnre24n467lwq4edujr7shnqq@jpeg "Click to view full size")
This is why pulling the FBI from investigating cryptids to walking around Washington DC like beat cops is bad
Just picturing the governor stamping his boot heels mad about chalk
National Guard keeping DC safe
Because we are among the world's biggest human rights violators now. And allied with not one but two ajudicated war criminals. Well done, maga. You ended the empire.
Why are there small children loudly playing duck duck goose at 10pm in my neighborhood?
Cool and enlightening website:
Out here at the MDC in Los Angeles where a couple dozen protesters are outside the fence. DHS has already maced half a dozen people and just sent pepperballs at those assembled
NEW "We no longer take AIPAC money," U.S. Rep. Morgan McGarvey said at a town hall in Louisville on Saturday. AIPAC had previously backed McGarvey in his 2022 and 2024 elections. This makes McGarvey the 4th previously AIPAC-backed Democratic Member of Congress to disavow the organization.
The more Trump talks shit about other cities the more cities have each others back. Like I'm a New Yorker defending LA. If he has me defending Boston I'm quitting and moving to Montreal.
I used mine for health tracking and reminding me to breathe

I can’t wait until we try to replace doctors with AI.
Until the "Democrats" reform themselves and become what they've claimed to be for decades, they aren't much better than the Republicans. If you want to know why they lost the election, read this. All the statistics quoted were true under the Biden regime. medium.com/@colingajews...
Is that like 6 and a half fingers all together?
How many thumbs does Trump have?
“The actress, 27, and music manager, 44,” I’m just shaking my head at the phone and hoping it’s emphatic enough to convey the level of no.
You are not necessarily going to have to specify what makes you high risk and therefore qualified for a Covid shot. You likely will only just have to click “yes” - and the truth is EVERYONE IS HIGH RISK Getting covid puts you at risk for disability and chronic illness.
The United States, just months before its 250th birthday as the world’s leading democracy, has tipped over the edge into authoritarianism and fascism.
Deeply fascinated by the new wave band Trent Reznor used to play with in the 1980’s and how everyone looks so incredibly 80’s except for Trent Reznor who looks exactly the same as he always has to the point where he might as well have time traveled
And finally, your fifth inductee into the RCS Commercial Hall of Fame, with 106 votes, the woman who uttered perhaps the most well-known line in commercial history, "Where's the beef?", Clara Peller!
This is for all the teachers out there. This AM at the farmers market, a stranger recognized me from my online American Revolution lecture course. Apparently, the lectures got her thru an illness when she was stuck in bed. Teaching matters. In so many more ways than we know.
if anyone has the complaint, case number, case name, cause of action, I’d love to see it because I’m not sure what this would be
It’s not much consolation, but history will remember what she did and what this is.
Maybe more cis people (and I'm a cis people myself) should support people who support trans rights if they want to defeat fascism. Why is that never the false choice proffered? Why is it always marginalized people who are expected to throw themselves under the bus in service to everyone else?
Huh, I had always thought “carjacking” involved a weapon and a threat, but apparently grabbing a car someone left running also counts.
Okay, I said a thing and now Bluesky is doing the bit where I get notifications… but I have adhd, I can’t leave a notification unread. How do people deal with the stress?
What Nazis think will happen: “i’m gonna use my leet drone skills to blow up a powerplant and it will start a race war in the ensuing chaos” What would actually happen: they’d break some heat exchanger pipes that will be happily fixed by maintenance guys making overtime pay by the following week
god I love me a mummy portrait
Good guess. Isthmus is like that.
former kids who read too many books and didnt know how to pronounce the words you learned gang say hey
I learned that “Segue” is “segway” not “seegh” from a Reddit thread on words you didn’t know you pronounced wrong.
