Agreed. WTF happened?
If the history you're reading makes you feel exclusively proud and happy, you're not reading history. You're reading propaganda. Lemme tell you, American History (high school) and American History (college) are two different subjects entirely.
Sublime <3
Oh! Cats!!
WOW The CLARITY of that image!
What would MAGA think if they both died on the same day?
LATEST: He was the passenger. Not the driver. A "Donny" or " Don" has been identified as the driver -- of a golf cart, apparently, not a car. Details coming ...
Just working on thoughts ... prayers seems far off atm
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!
Brilliant
Talk to anyone who lives on Los Angeles, and find out for yourself, from firsthand sources, that this is not even a little bit true. Los Angeles is awesome and vibrant and wonderfully diverse. We look after our neighbors. We are a proud city of immigrants. Noem is a Nazi and a liar.
Brilliant commentary and insight! Thank you!
RFK Jr looks like he’s been sampling the diseases at the CDC
Angus: I’m saying we need to start building progressive media that people actually listen to. I’ll give you an example: MeidasTouch. Wherever I go in Canada, working-class people listen to MeidasTouch because they talk about what’s happening in a practical way. They give facts.
Though we might all wish about *something* happening, the truth is he'd never have a news moment without days of lead-up! "Not dead yet." ~ MP
It took all of Europe last time. With guns. And millions of lives. Good luck with your ‘movement.’

The good news? The good news is: everyone is posting about it. So that should take care of it.
I'm already packed!
Really nice, Dave! Love the mood.
I think Stephen Miller just described his next musical!
IMHO This isn't the worst form of democratic socialism. Look at Canada in the 1960s to 1980s. Nationalizing corporations may have saved us.
Wrong lede: Pam Bondi is about to take the legal heat for all of Stephen Miller's illegality: "I was just talking shit. She actually did it."
This is the journalism I grew up with. In fact, expected. This was the essential 4th Estate we were taught in school (Canada). It's a heartbreaking loss.
Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her. Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.
OH! The HANNITY 5 SEC DISCLAIMER will be famous!!!
THE WORST MATINEE VILLAIN. EVER!
Ah. Gotcha. You cynical ba@stard ❤️
You think the AI summary of the legislation would add all the internal nuances? Honest question. I don't - if you weren't in the room, you never know the whole truth.
Why isn’t the Secretary getting briefed by his staff who should be able to add nuance and context to every measure in that act - including what party contributed or disagreed with what content. You know, like professionals

You lucky ducks!! When I travel to a new place I search the location (filter results) at 500px.com. Better than a Google search because most of the images at 500px are pro/semi-pro. I’m free most of February BTW.
LISTEN to this. ➡️ "The Attorney General of the United States is now a rogue actor who has become a political tool of a corrupt President seeking to undermine the constitution of the United States and the rule of law." substack.com/@politicsusa...
1000% agree. And it seems SO OBViOUS!! And yet .... How can players affect change?? #BF6 #BATTLFIELD #EA #DICE #XBOX
Anyone know where I can get me some fresh radioactive shrimp?? Ask for my family, actually.
Pretty sure @radiofreetom.bsky.social already has this ...
He always looks like someone who has just realized their contact lenses are in the wrong eyes.
Just gave me an idea! @scalzi.com would you ever consider writing a story about the afterlife? A Scalzi take on Dante’s Inferno if you will. It could be epic!

Seems the lesson is -- if there is one -- is corporations shouldn't RELY upon government grants or incentives. It's good business to use funding to kick start new enterprises but ongoing reliance - here the CHIPS Act funding - opens the door for bad actors to take advantage. Am I wrong?
Lack of self-awareness seems to be one of the many symptoms of being a Republican.
Very nicely played.
Agreed. It has nearly been “schtick” recently.
Now that the 🇺🇸USA has elected to become a nation of vaccine ignoramuses, 🇨🇦Canada should seize the opportunity to become the mRNA capital of the world. 🍁🍁🍁 www.nytimes.com/2025/08/18/o...
?? I kept the review light but “derivative” is the kindest thing I could say. In sequel/prequel territory you want to carve out a new space within the established space. Noah Hawley, as much as I like his work, hasn’t achieved this. Early days, for sure, but I’m not hopeful.
It’s awful. Stealing from the original series’ music and production design, this new series features the worst dialogue and story exposition I’ve ever seen!!
Not so fake … Amazon says I can have tomorrow between 4a and 8a
This is the way. The words, the attitude, the reality check, the action.
This is going to do wonders for US tourism.

I hope your community is never occupied like LA or DC. But if it is, you’ll quickly find that people don’t take kindly to having their city under federal control. And folks are just getting started. 📌 Protesters gathered near a checkpoint in the U Street corridor in Northwest Washington.
This. Is. Awesome. (but the poor bro is gonna suffer 😥)
Inaction is being complicit. And, yes, all the others you cite (Dems, administrators, etc.) - they are complicit too.
🤮

I truly don't believe this. They'd eat insurrection up in a ratings minute.
You & I are not gonna resolve this :-D My overarching point is -- looking from the outside in -- America is at a point of action, not rhetoric. Dialogue went with your democracy. Action is all that is left. Godspeed.
No, and you're right about their dereliction. BUT I say the situation has gone far past 'democratic' solutions. The districts are gerrymandered, voter suppression abounds, non-govt. workers destroy billions in social services, and citizens are in concentration camps. Voting won't change any of this.
Well, that's sort of the point I am making. They may be good military men (we hope so, right?) but If they don't speak out & act, it doesn't matter how good they are. And if they're not speaking out now, when? Watching HSI, ICE, & NGuard, plenty are happy going along with all of this.
Maybe some of these military men could go on public record then?
I'm going to publish the entirety of an exchange I just had with the press office of the DOJ. I want you to see how they are talking about truth.
Even if it’s AI-generated?
I can't believe what I am seeing!!
It's ironic. Don't read so much into it. At the time the conspiracy theorists were thought of as funny, quirky, nutty. Mulder's relegation to the titular X-Files is proof of that perceived perversion. The subsequent seasons only played and built upon this but to no consensus
As an off-field observer I contend the Democratic Party is playing an entirely different game than the Republicans. Democrats (effectively or not) trying to govern a country toward the best possible outcomes for all. Republicans just want to stay in charge of whatever is left after their assault.

Pretty sure this is intended to quell the inevitable demonstrations that will come when he announces his next stupid thing and/or his third term (unelected because he had to declare martial law)
He's toying with the idea of making a 3rd or 4th storey. That's what he's doing. After the Rose Garden and the Ballroom, we are clearly in Trump's #RenovationEra
Ask CGPT to read Neal Stephenson's SEVENEVES and reassess; maybe for feasibility or utility but for risk of catastrophe. If we play with the moon as recklessly as we do with the Earth, the consequences of a f/u will be truly existential. That said, SPACE1999 looked like a fun trip. 😂
Ah! Yeah. She's written some good unifying stuff - esp. effective coming from Calgary, where a national sentiment is not strong.
What. Did. I. Just. Experience? 😍 MORE
Just remember that Pamela Jo Bondi and all the other Trump sycophants at the Justice Department have seen videos of Trump, Epstein, Dershowitz, and other old men raping teenage girls and decided they needed to protect the rapists, not the victims. They are immoral vultures.
What kind of asshole still supports a politician after it becomes glaringly obvious they’re a pedophile?
Bigly
Arlene Dickinson?
This still gets a one- or two-year screening here! All the feels. Thanks, JC et al
Great interview @ambermac.bsky.social !!
If I drank a shot every time Trump changed his Epstein story I’d be Secretary of Defense.
They really could give those +10 year articles up in the hope of building brand equity.
This. This is spot on.
Trump’s felony convictions were for making up numbers to make himself appear worth more than he was. His 29 club championships in golf are because he makes up his own score. No surprise he wants people in charge of government statistics who will make up the numbers he wants.
Hey, @newyorker.com - why post this if we can't read it? Do you really think you're going to get a subscription out of re-posting an innocuous 2015 story. Rethink your strategy, my friends.
When things are the shittiest, an unexpected news headline can put a smile back on your face. I had no idea about the "Freedom Train" but now I happily do! Thanks for covering this @thestar.com (I hope Apple News shares the whole story but the headline and picture tells you everything! ❤️)

👍🏻
It is remarkable and astonishing that the entire apparatus of the Republican party -- the entire organization and every single person who is part of it -- has been converted into a cover-up operation to protect a single pedophile rapist. Is that why these Republicans went into politics? Really?

Where is our tariff response? Let’s export tariff oil and electricity. 100% on potash. Squeeze them. It’s never going back to normal so let’s make our own destiny without them. Gloves are off. Times up. Let’s bloody their noses.

It's all been destroyed, corrupted, and/or altered.
