Woody Allen: "“Well, you know, I’m a Democrat. I voted for Kamala Harris. And I take issue with him, you know, on 95 percent of the things. Maybe 99 percent. But as an actor, he was very good. He was very convincing and very, you know, he has a charismatic quality as an actor.”

Sweet: "Donald Trump has betrayed India under the garb of friendship. He is a stain on diplomacy. While India maintained strong ties with America, Trump encouraged Pakistan’s terrorism instead. We hold his 13th-day death feast to symbolically end this chapter." www.bhaskarenglish.in/local/mp/bho...
I don't mind if Europe rallies around her. I find her to be quite inspirational recently. Nice leadership, well appreciated.
Cool observation: "That’s how Trump corrupts: by making reality itself a loyalty test. What Trump does to friendships, he does to alliances: he makes loyalty to delusion the price of entry, and when reality intrudes, the relationship collapses."
"Trump pushing India into China’s arms was not actually on my Trump Administration bingo card. But that’s what’s happening, and it represents perhaps the most strategically disastrous foreign policy move of this administration—which is saying something." www.notesfromthecircus.com/p/personnel-...

If we have to become an authoritarian state, can we at least get eco-cities, bullet trains, and renewable energy?

🚨🚨🚨 Alligator Alcatraz 🚨🚨🚨 Univision is reporting calls from Alligator Alcatraz that guards have used teargas against the detainees. Several Florida detainees and their families contacted Noticias 23 to report an alleged riot. "They're mistreating us, they're beating us, help us." #DCFL
Europe now understands that Putin owns Trump. It's plain to see. They need to respond to a direct threat. Better a protracted conflict of attrition - so long as those who want freedom can destroy this Trump-Putin unholy alliance. AP thinks it's all terribly unfair - www.reuters.com/world/europe...
Official Statement For Immediate Release On the evening of August 30, 2025, in New Hampshire, Mayor Giuliani was flagged down by a woman with beautiful blonde hair and sumptuous red lipstick who had mistakenly missed a left turn at Albuquerque. Upon learning the woman was in fact a cartoon rabbit,
It'll be painful when he tips a glass I bet.

Weibo 😁- “The day my husband proposed, I was on the couch with my leg hiked up eating chicken feet. He suddenly came home from work, walked up to me, pulled out a ring and handed it to me, “Hey, guess what this is!” And then he threw the ring at me and ran into the bedroom because he got too shy.”
I must be easily impressed.

Soon, JD Vance will advance to becoming the most ridiculous and the most reviled world leader in history.
Yuri Ushakov, a Russian diplomat, said after Putin meets with Modi, he'll meet Erdogan. Then Iran. He says, “Iran is a long time reliable partner of ours. There are a lot of topics that need to be discussed, including the situation with Iran’s nuclear program.” Trump will be thrilled.

Before settling in Foster City, California, in 1977, the Thiel family lived in South Africa and South West Africa (modern-day Namibia). Peter changed elementary schools seven times. He attended a school in Swakopmund that required students to wear uniforms and utilized corporal punishment
Just me and my pygmy pony.
Trump thought you needed to show an ID in order to shop at a grocery store. He's likely never driven a car either (lots of New Yorkers don't know how to drive) It adds up to another very very rich person - racist as hell - who's supremely uninterested in the lives of anyone else.
Thanks!
IU.S. District Judge Jia M. Cobb of D.C. wrote that the administration’s policy of “expedited removal” — previously used to deport migrants detained at or near the U.S.-Mexico border — doesn’t provide adequate due process rights to those detained inside the country. #ProudBlue wapo.st/4g0Kob1
Me too.
The British watched their empire deteriorate and fade into insignificance and frankly, they didn’t look all that uncomfortable. We’ll be fine.
Karl, I’m with you on this: I am just going to say this again bluntly: Blue states are going to need to become the federal government. Mutual aid compacts, mutual defense compacts, healthcare, taxes, trade the whole deal. Literally create a new system outside of the fascist federal system.
The judge explained that "these communications suggest not conspiracy but sincerity..." The judge noted none of the people cited as those who defamed him were even on the call with Zucker and the other executives. www.rawstory.com/alan-dershow...

When the system of checks & balances fails, the last line of defence is the people. Things will keep getting worse until there is large scale disruptive direct action and civil disobedience that doesn't stop until all the criminals in power are out.
“While the overall unemployment rate was still a respectable 4.2% in July, for young men aged 20 to 24, it was 8.3%, which is near recession levels—and for recent college graduates, the annual rate is 5.3%.” www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

A challenge to the president’s declaration of a national emergency must come to the floor for a vote within 18 days of the challenge. Republicans in the House quickly passed a rule saying, "A day will not constitute a day for purposes of the National Emergencies Act.” And Dems got outsmarted again.

Edmonton Public Schools has decided that Margaret Atwood is too dangerous for youth to read. As is Brave New World. 1984 is banned by Grade 9s and younger. This is the MAGA machine of Danielle Smith in action. Perhaps a public book burning will reassure the base. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I said "it's shameful" about ICE's doings to a guy who has a (citizen) family member from Mexico. No sooner did the words leave my lips when he interjected: "Yeah well" he said, quietly. He pronounced it like a single word. A Republican. They don't care who dies, outside their own gated community.
From the very beginning, I’ve argued that their playbook is almost exactly that of the Nazis. The propaganda machine. The blood libel. The blood-and-soil racism. He’s been doing it his entire life. Then, he found his perfect mate—the heritage foundation. People acted like I was being hyperbolic.

Ivana Trump, we recall, said that he kept a volume of Mein Kampf at his bedside for nighttime reading and I believe it. It's not the kind of story you just fabricate. So listen: having pulled off his own version of the Reichstag fire, he'll move to dissolve the legislature and abolish civil rights.
Something like "It will be a bloodless revolution if the liberals let it be." I'm mis-quoting the evil fuck.
The only viable duty that we have, as reasonable adults, is to eat the rich asap obvsly. The only solution is a working class revolution. #antifascist #antibillionaire #classconsciousness
