Why is it that every disappeared US citizen is not front page news? At the very least we should have a little box with a count of the number of citizens who have been taken away and are not locatable and a link to a story with photos & min-bios, just as we used to do with military casually figures.
In Portland, Oregon, masked ICE GOONS abducted and vanished US citizen Gonzalo Catalan last week. Tragically, his family remains unaware of his whereabouts and has not received any communication from him as of today.

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country.

The @python.org foundation is fundamental in maintaining python. Y'all are waiting for the huge benefits of AI to materialize? Good luck without a working python ecosystem. Trump has cut funding, because they are here for everyone ("diverse and international"). You can chip in, 25$/year. #econsky
TLDR; The PSF has made the decision to put our community and our shared diversity, equity, and inclusion values ahead of seeking $1.5M in new revenue. Please read and share. pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/NSF-...

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Today is Casey Means’ confirmation hearing! Looking forward to watching her attempts to convince the Senate HELP Committee that she’s not a quack running a metabolic snake oil cartel over Zoom from her luxury functional obstetrics compound in Hawaii 👇🏻

Known as the Battle of Blair Mountain, this was the largest labor uprising in US history and the largest armed uprising since the Civil War. For a month, 10,000 coal miners confronted some 3,000 company guards, state soldiers, and strikebreakers. Nearly a million rounds were shot.

This whole thread is truly worth your time.
JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.

Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

The President wants to use the military to crack down on Americans who are exercising their 1st Amendment rights to oppose him. I can’t think of a better reason to insist on exercising those rights.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

We checked the Department of Homeland Security's viral videos of chaos and protests. What we found were months-old, misleading clips, some recorded thousands of miles away.
1.1 million • Total US casualties in major #military conflicts since the Revolution

1.2 million • Total US Dead from #Covid, so far. Additional 300/wk still dying. That’s a plane crash a week.

Please share these powerful lessons from Margaret Heffernan on the dangers of #WillfulBlindness

“Who’s going to pay for people to have food & healthcare? You?”

Yes. That’s the point. We all pay & everyone benefits.

I would gladly contribute my fair share to ensure no one is left behind.

I want my tax dollars to feed & house people. I want them to have medical care

This shouldn’t be radical

🚨Wow - this will be huge if it bears out. Exit polls show the pro-EU D66 party has WON the Dutch election.

The far-right PVV party of Geeet Wildsrs has lost 12 seats, according to exit polls.

Huge if true.

To follow the path of former Nazi scholar Carl Schmitt wld mean investing in “systems that permit violence against scapegoats” in an effort to “postpone the far greater violence of the apocalypse.” The “‘strange new thoughts’ Thiel wanted his audience to entertain were…largely those of…Schmitt.” 1/

Exactly this — vaccines help prevent hospitalisation and death, but they don’t stop infection or transmission. That’s why masking is still so important. 😷

Looking like the election in the Netherlands has taken an interesting turn if the first exit poll is anything to go by.

The Far Right’s Geert Wilders has already conceded.
