It simply should not be possible for the president to repeatedly claim that a major city is burning without a wall of live standups happening in that city clearly demonstrating that it is not

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

I completely get that. It's like my empathy meter goes to 11 these days. It's how I cope with it.

In a sane world the material rewards bestowed on any one of the 100% talentless, dumb Trump kids would have destroyed the meritocracy myth forever. The fact that there are now 4-5 Trumpling wastrels shows that our current system is fucked beyond redemption.

Some messages are printed on 18-by-24-inch yard signs or smaller placards; others are drawn ornately by hand on paper or written in chalk. The few who will talk about the signs they created say the urgency of the moment compelled them to act.

Signs popping up around D.C. note: ‘ICE kidnapping happened here’

The signs range in style and mark numerous locations where people have been taken by federal agents.

I plan on being first in line when my early voting polling station opens on 10/25. I am so excited to vote for Zohran.

In case you're struggling to find the words for why you're feeling the way you do.

A tweet that reads: My therapist, who was trained by the famed psychiatrist Victor Frankl, said to me today that the majority of his clients right now are dealing the same basic issue:

We have all lost any concept of the future.

We're all just getting through the day or the week.

Our horizons have shrunk.

We feel overwhelmed and overstimulated.

I never understood how much the concept of a better future made my current life more liveable, made hard times easier to cope with, and supported my creativity.

It is so fucking monstrous and outrageous that it beggars belief.

We have armed criminals sanctioned by this administration to wreak havoc wherever they go.

This isn’t funny. Judges only speak to the press when they’re in extreme distress

Leah Litman @leahlitman.bsky.social · 9h

More judges speak to the press (the NYT) about what a disaster the Supreme Court (specifically the shadow docket) has been - “incredibly demoralizing & troubling”; a “judicial crisis”; a “slap in the face to district courts.” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u...

“YOU hit HER.”

CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

Trump is continuing to target Social Security with sneak attacks, aimed at weakening the program. Even though the attacks aren’t easy to spot, Trump is still hell-bent on trying to destroy Social Security. From Robert Kuttner:
