RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.
This should be a bigger story. A government official had the YouTube channel of a private citizen shut down bc he didn’t like what that citizen was saying. This administration’s version of free speech is a joke.
Seems an appropriate day to promote my favorite Arkansas museum - the Southern Tenant Farmers Museum which is all about the Southern Tenant Farmers Union. Happy Labor Day! encyclopediaofarkansas.net/entries/sout... stfm.astate.edu
I'm BAAAAAAACK! That's right! it's me, Doc, and I'm here to tell you all about guns in first person shooters, hopefully helping you be way more creative in your weapon design by breaking 'em down into the basics that's right, it's FPS Design 102: da guns docseuss.medium.com/the-way-of-t...
What these Schatz posts say to me is that Dem elected officials like him seem incapable of perceiving the right as a *political movement.* The response to Covid mitigation and the Floyd protests was not a spontaneous reaction...it was a right wing backlash organized by a reactionary movement.
Was rummaging through old articles and found this one of Demetre Daskalakis. Apparently, back in 2013, he went to New York City's gay sex clubs and bathhouses and administered meningitis vaccines and helped beat an outbreak.
Ah yes the manly men who cry about... working at an office.
Anyone who looks at America in 2025 and thinks, "maybe we can fix this by throwing trans people under the bus" 1) doesn't have the brains to understand what's going on or how we got here 2) doesn't have the stomach for any of the fights ahead and 3) is vice signaling to their MAGA friends.
Still believe Colorado should have just left him off.
NEW: All but 1 of the Guatemalan children have been returned to HHS's Office of Refugee Resettlement, DOJ tells Judge Sooknanan, and the fourth will be returned in approx. 3 hrs. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Brandon Johnson signed an executive order barring the city's police from collaborating with federal officers on civil immigration enforcement operations, and U.S. military personnel on police patrols.
Get the hell off Substack before you literally can’t anymore without blowing up your business
The fact that fascism, authoritarianism, and eugenics went hand in hand in the 1920s and '30s should give one pause before making this kind of a statement.
None of this needs to be throwing trans people under the bus to get them involved. In fact, baseline is we all are on the same side in most issues and showing that will make them see people as people and not categories.
I doubt Dan is justifying anti-trans bigotry. More like finding a common ground for people sympathetic to the anti-trans BS and having them work alongside trans people, among others, so that when we're deeper into things together, they hopefully will become more pro-everyone they worked with.
2) GOP states will continue to aggressively gerrymander. When all is said and done, Ds will be able to offset some of this but not all of it. The GOP will still likely lose the House, but keep in mind that the we're in a long-term existential struggle. Bigger majorities > smaller than ones.
For decades American Politics has missed or ignored the major political challenges to the U.S. political mainstream (neoconservatism, Tea Party, far right). Even now, there is no major rethink while the use of euphemisms like “populism” and “racially conservative” obscure rather than explain things.
Judge: I got a call at 2:36 a.m. because the govt chose this time on a holiday weekend to execute this plan. I have been up since then. I haven't been able to reach anyone from govt until this morning at 9:30 a.m. So absent this intervention, all children would already have been sent to Guatemala!
The people who are calling for better Democratic candidates are just trying to tell you all that you don't HAVE to choose between a shit sandwich and a maggot pie. Just because the corporate media has been putting someone on teevee doesn't make them your only choice.
don't want to let it slip under the radar that racist law prof amy wax lost her discrimination suit against penn and will be suspended from teaching this year
Calling all Swifties to urge Taylor to sue Meta and its techno-fascist billionaire, Mark Zuckerberg, into oblivion.
This firefighter arrived in the US at age 4, has been here for 19 years, was on track to legal status, and was on a crew trying to contain a major blaze (in Washington state, vs Oregon, fwiw.) h/t @joshuajfriedman.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Carville is a hack and other than doing good TV, has no influence on the Dems. Blue Rose Research is the issue bsky.app/profile/whst...
Oh. abovethelaw.com/2025/08/inte...
If anything, they are making it worse when they come out and call things distractions that are having direct impacts on not just immigrants but citizens, or they join in with the whole "but trans in sports" BS. Funny how msg discipline is usually terrible with Dems but this time...*sigh*
Considering what they have said out there, no I wouldn't. I have friends who won't be worried until "they are shooting people." I need to convince those like him that things are bad NOW. Establishment Dems are not helping by downplaying or ignoring the behaviors of the admin.
📌 And lol
A thread of obvious truths that weirdos on Bluesky seem to have a hard time understanding.
Blahahahaha
I'd rather he and Jeffries stay off TV and let someone else because all they do is minimize the situation we're in. I need someone out there like Walz who's willing to call fascism what it is and help me convince in the intentionally politically ignorant to pay attention.
When politicians do "constituent service," they're beholden to everyone in the electorate. When politicians do only "fan service" they're beholden only to their fans, & especially the most avid amongst them. The nutso present we currently inhabit was, unfortunately, not hard to foresee in Feb 2024.
“Fire RFK Jr. now.” After a month of shocking removals, resignations, and a shooting at the CDC, Democrats are demanding that the secretary go. Meanwhile, the White House is defending Kennedy as its "crown jewel" admin leader.
A story that won't get a lot of attention today but it's a BFD that Trump is pausing the federal government's participation in the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC). The CFC allowed federal workers to contribute $9B to charities since the '60s. It cost the government nothing to run. 🎁🔗
That elides quite a bit of history. Trust did take a hit during Vietnam and Watergate, but it fluctuated after that for a few decades and then spiked after 9/11. It was Iraq, Katrina, and 2008 that caused it to fall off the cliff.
This was part of the huge attraction of Trump in 2016. He not only gave the racists permission to be racists, but to do so publicly and not be held accountable for it.
Maddening. This is all those small groups look for, permission from the wider society to let that racism out and to be proud about it, and then others who are more than happy to follow that lead come out too, especially as the wider authorities are permissive and then outright in agreement.
Part of the "beauty" of racial categories not having any real genetic basis is that they can be changed when it's expedient.
Came out in 1906, literally the year after the Russo-Japanese war.
Once we get to the general, yes. Before that, lets try to get the least bad person for the job.
broken clocks must be reporting for their daily duty bc "AIPAC Shakur" is outrageous lmao
Trump take LEGO
Worth the shot for a Dem Senate seat, especially considering what Collins gets away with. Unless he's a Republican deep down.
I fucking despise Chuck Schumer
Look, I'm paranoid, so I truly think that everyone who cops to a preexisting condition to get that Covid vaccine is going to get burned on insurance somehow. We should all still get the vaccine, but list the reason as "close proximity to someone who is immunocompromised."
We should rewrite Tapper's book and just ctrl F Biden and replace it with Trump and then use that as a guide for the investigations.
Here’s the clip of CM Padilla bragging about reducing the size of a 100% affordable housing project in her district and increasing the amount of parking while arguing against the transit oriented upzoning bill SB 79. (ED 1 is an affordable housing program in LA.)
"Trump allowed Nvidia to sell chip designs to China for a dubious 15 percent export fee, and waved in Apple’s overseas chips after getting a gold-and-glass statue from its CEO. These deals directly undermine the company whose stock Trump just seized." prospect.org/economy/2025...
a productive debate is going to have a winner and a loser, by definition, and that will always sting to some degree. in practice real debate is often savage as hell, James Baldwin *humiliated* William F Buckley
I will never understand how American elites managed to convince themselves that uncivil debate — not fascism, not impunity and not widespread indifference to facts — is the defining problem of our time. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/o...
"audiences trust content with disclosed backers if it's good and resonates with them. Content that feels like it's being pushed on them with an agenda they're not being told about is a recipe for automatic dismissal and resentment." www.elizabethspiers.com/why-dems-kee...
NEW: CNN's now publicly released video analysis shows Israel's 'double-tap' attack on Nasser Hospital was, in fact, actually a triple-tap. They bombed the hospital, and then fired upon the rescue team and journalists with not one but two more shells.
"If you asked someone in your life about the National Guard deployment and they replied by talking about the price of cars, you would probably think there was something medically wrong with them, which is incidentally how most Americans view the Democratic Party." slate.com/news-and-pol...
No no no, self criticism is fascism and only helping Trump! Stop it now, or I'm gonna go tell daddy!
Second, if they do it like this, with tight controls that you must use say only approved info, we will just get more of the same, anodyne, dull posts that is uninteresting to the politically uninterested. Part of creating an ecosystem is a variety of voices that sound genuine.
Two issues I see here. The wiki itself is only info, not support, and the right wing media ecosystem, and it is a system, is awash with money. Do not doubt for one moment that Jillian Michaels, perhaps one of the least likely side switchers is getting paid lots now that she has switched.
ICE took 2 firefighters OFF THE FUCKING FIRE LINE!?
The CEC is shifting towards a pro-gas position, and pulling away from grass roots community benefit efforts....
Dear writers,
When kids toys are dangerous, intentionally or not, we hold the manufacturer accountable, remove and recall the product and then the manufacturer stops making them or adjusts them. These are used much more often than any kids toy.
They didn't intend for it to do this? Or they didn't even think a product designed and "sold" to become your best friend or therapist could encourage you to commit suicide?
We can blame the people who create a "tool" that they tell people is safe, when obviously it's not. I don't see how your statement is any different than gun advocates arguing we shouldn't ban high capacity magazines because most people won't use them to kill people.
Dearest Martha, The National Guard stand solemn watch at the Krispy Kreme tonight. I cannot tell if they defend the people from the donuts, or the donuts from the people. Powdered sugar hangs in the air like cannon smoke. Jensen took a hot coffee to the face, he may never recover. Yours in glaze,
Too bad it's high profile influencers as it would explain all the pro-Jeffries and Schumer accounts I've been coming across lately.
I wrote about what it was like growing up up Dobson. nymag.com/intelligence...
There is no conceivable interpretation of the law of war in which a camera set up nearby legitimizes a mass casualty double tap strike on a protected civilian site like a hospital. The fact that Israel is citing it as if it meets some standard should, by itself, trigger a halt in weapons to Israel.
This imagery is the kind of thing you see in video games to let you know you’re in a totalitarian city or country.
Tech oligarchs oppose the idea of any supposedly undeserving person getting financial help from the government in 2025. But they want you to believe they’ll give *everyone* free money in the future. It doesn’t make any sense, but it’s the techno-utopian lie they will keep selling.
wow. we’d heard rumors to this effect. now it’s more than rumor.
Olga called @samthielman.com a MAGA troll and blocked him btw, all for saying she's an aggregator and not a journalist. bsky.app/profile/samt...
Did some digging btw and she had a dance studio in Florida.
He got where he is because he had a billionaire sugar daddy that paid for No-chin Kirk to become famous.
I just want the people doing this long hard work to get their credit 😀
Most Dem voters understand what's happening. Most Dems in Congress do not, hence their reliance on the Blue Rose strategy to avoid/excuse/dismiss what's happening.
That's fine, but there seems to be a lot of people here giving them credit for posting a link to an article that doesn't even highlight the groups responsible for it.
And I don't have a rosy view of the patriarchal system I live in. I know too fucking many women who've been raped by RMs and then had the local "Bishop" convince them to not report it. I don't think they're saints, trust me, I know better.
Maybe you're a little too close to the problem, much like cops I know who deny crime has gone down statically because to them it seems like they go out more and more.
Typos on the way out the door not acceptable? I don't claim to be perfect
Im an agnostic, humanist asshole in a red state surrounded by right wing authoritarians and I have a more generous view on Mormans than you. Think about that for a moment
It certainly didn't come through in your post, or I wouldn't have responded so nastily. The failure mode of clever and all.
NEW: The Social Security Administration's chief data officer has blown the whistle, saying Trump's DOGE team uploaded a database containing the hundreds of millions of Social Security records of most Americans to an AWS cloud server, allegedly without proper access controls or monitoring in place.
Elon's DOGE Muskjugend uploaded a dataset of every Social Security number to the god damn cloud www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/u...
Without a much larger population, they'll always have some Republicans in the district, but at least it shouldn't be carved up like it is now.
We'll see how the Utah SC handles the inevitable appeal. The state itself says they need maps by Nov 1st or people won't be able to file for office, and because it's a local constitutional issue and not national, the SCOTUS probably can't interfere, but no promises.
Shoulda told em you had a CPAP or some other medically necessary device and they needed to fix the situation. Hate these companies.
The case had nothing to do wtih the Elias Law group. It was brought by the League of Women Voters, Mormon Women for Ethical Government, and some individuals impacted. Thank them.
You aren't your generation, nor am I, but I can admit GenX is more filled with nasty reactionaries even though I am not one. Let me guess, you also think the vast majority of the US thought the Kent State shootings were a bad thing in 1970?
How interesting you impugn women as a whole when it was two organizations of Utah women who brought this win.
This dude was indicted for dozens of felonies in multiple jurisdictions and never once had to post bail
Correct. The default Dem position has to be, "I will fire everyone Trump appointed, and everyone hired by anyone Trump appointed, regardless of what any statute or court says." Anything less is a ratification of Trump's actions that leaves the government broken and filled with saboteurs.
Three failures to indict is indisputable proof of prosecutorial misconduct and should produce an automatic termination of every prosecutor involved plus civil liability for money damages.
No one should base their views solely on thinking the opposite of what someone else says... ... but it's telling that these people and Politico are pushing so hard for Dems to hide from this. They're afraid Dems will utilize public discontent against deploying troops for domestic purposes.
"Did Blue Rose Research throw the 2024 election because its owner is neck-deep in crypto money?" is a good question, imo.
People deserve the right to vote, even if you don't like how they vote.
Oh, it's simple, the Boomers got their $10k college education and their $60k home then decided to pull up the ladders and rip up the roots of the American dream by putting in charge the worst people they could find, such as Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, and Donald Trump.
trump does not intend for the next january 6th to fail www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Everything the rich have ever wanted is being delivered, a further weakened labor movement, a gutted regulatory regime, a public sector being strangled in a puddle. The rest was hokum invented by academic scribblers searching for a logical rationale for the rich to be more dominant.
Well it hasn't happened, now has it? Once it happens, we'll see if it does.
