If my feed seems too empty, bland or cringe lately, sorry, but I’m actively trying to avoid posting negative stuff here. At least for a while, as I try not to add to the gloom & doom of [gestures all around us].

If Hunter Biden went on MSNBC and said Joe Biden was "saving God," the head of every pundit and influencer in right wing media would simultaneously explode. Half of Manhattan would be covered in Fox News head debris.

Eric Trump: "We're saving Christianity. We've saving God. We've saving the family unit. We're saving this nation. I mean, DEI is out of the window, Benny. You no longer have Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem. You no longer have Budweiser going woke as hell. All of this is dead."

God, this is awful. Especially knowing how brutal pancreatic cancer can be. I hope he didn’t suffer.

If you have some $ to spare, @pancan.bsky.social is an excellent org to donate to. (I lost a friend to pancreatic cancer, & PanCan was a key org helping him through his fight.)

"We're saving God from Colin Kaepernik" is a pretty good distillation of Republican thought

So, Meta and Apple have now both complied with the Trump DOJ's censor requests.

Big Tech isn't your friend. Don't ever forget that.

"The DOJ will continue engaging tech companies to *eliminate platforms* . . ."

This is your daily reminder Bondi specifically, and MAGA generally, spent the last 4 years accusing the Biden admin of jawboning tech companies to take down content in violation of the 1A.

Something pleasant about this particular SCOTUS telling Alex Jones to get fucked.
pbsnews.org
The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected an appeal from conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and left in place the $1.4 billion judgment against him over his description of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting as a hoax staged by crisis actors. https://to.pbs.org/42GD5jw
Supreme Court rejects Alex Jones' appeal of $1.4 billion defamation judgment in Sandy Hook shooting
The justices issued their order Tuesday without even asking the victims' families to respond to Jones' appeal.

lol, OF COURSE Trump is ungrateful for the TIME cover spot & bitching up a storm about this photo.

Even the least appearance-minded amongst us would be steamed if we were on the cover of TIME w a neck pussy, chrome-dome revealed, up-nostril shot. And for all-ego Trump, it’s a nightmare.

Time owner Marc Benioff (and Salesforce CEO) just announced a few days ago that he's eager to start sucking Trump's dick full time. He even wants troops deployed to San Francisco. But as we see here, it's never enough. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...

You’ve gotta have *something* to occupy your time while overseeing the nuclear stockpile. After all, those nukes just sit there, day after day, week after week.

Trump’s targeting of Tish James is only elevating her stature & giving her a platform to showcase why she’s a powerhouse that voters will want to put in higher office.

(Also cool that Mamdani made space for focus on James, at his campaign event. Shows the important ties he’s already built.)

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

Amongst our politicians, Mamdani is particularly under pressure to comment on Israel/Palestine (largely because of his ethnicity/religion). I think this statement is strong, w moral clarity, emphasis that there’s much still to do & accountability needed, & note that things are still tenuous.

My statement on today's profoundly moving scenes in Israel and Palestine.
Today’s scenes of Israelis and Palestinians are profoundly moving: Israeli hostages being freed and families reunited after years of fear, uncertainty, and torture; the first days in Gaza without relentless Israeli bombardment of Palestinians as families return to rubble and loved ones freed from detention.

There is finally a glimmer of hope that this ceasefire will hold and the long difficult work of reconstruction can begin. I also know this news brings solace to millions of New Yorkers, who’ve felt the pain of the past few years. We have watched as our tax dollars have funded a genocide. The moral and human cost will be a lasting stain and requires accountability and real examination of our collective conscience and our government’s policies.

The responsibility now lies with those of us who believe in peace to make sure it endures, and that it is just. Once aid is delivered, the wounded are cared for, and a lasting agreement secured, we cannot look away. We must work towards a future built upon justice, one without occupation and apartheid, and for a world where every person can live with safety and dignity.

President Trump was just caught on a hot mic talking with the president of Indonesia.

He may have been talking about his business interests in the country–which would be exactly the kind of conflict of interest we’ve been warning about for years. 🧵

Trump's conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr, who supposedly have nothing to do with government while they run the family business.

As taxpayers with elected representatives who won’t take a stand against a billionaire who’s swimming in govt contracts, unfortunately we’re all supporting that white nationalist.
