Some Lula supporters apparently shouted his name out their window when it was announced he won and a cop pointed his gun at him and they took what is possibly the greatest image of a cop ever taken, like genuinely this would go hard as a cover for a Rage album its so poetic.

the biggest presidential scandal in history but the political media largely acts as if it's not happening. hasan piker has received more mainstream political media coverage over the last 6 months than trump's connections with epstein has

Anyway, what was that you were saying about Tom Morello leaving his ballot blank in a safe blue state?

Q: Will you disavow the Muslim Brotherhood? El-Sayed: Yes. Why are you asking the question? Do you assume that I wouldn’t? Q: Yes, because I have not heard you disavow them yet. El-Sayed: Have you disavowed them? I have not heard you disavow them yet.

Jacob Rees-Mogg, the most stereotypically Tory conservative man of the 21st Century, responded to Suella Braverman with a long-form video criticizing her position and rejecting a race-based theory of Englishness, and in response has been ratioed by the increasingly feral British online far-right.

The British right has now descended to the point where 'the England team are not English' is becoming the consensus position

6/end: Banning diesel exports would, in effect, be a small subsidy to farmers and other industrial users of diesel across the country at the expense of New England residents, who would see heating costs skyrocket if not run into acute physical shortages.

A striking thing about the various estimates of how many people Musk killed when he shuttered USAID is that, while of course the exact number is unknown, the estimates all point to a figure of about 750,000 deaths within a year, of which 500,000 were kids Mass murder isn’t “ill fated cost-cutting”

Sad excuse for journalism: Big profile of DOGE lord doesn’t say a word about all the damage he did. And it was not an “ill fated cost-cutting effort.” It was a malignant, catastrophic attack on the government and its workers by arrogant and ignorant assholes. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

eliminate EV subsidies, ban cheap overseas EVs, ban EV component import, deport people bringing battery technology to the US, pay billions to kill clean energy projects, end fuel economy standards, and then do THIS is such an elaborate prank on the American people you almost have to respect it

I actually want to vomit. There is nothing that can redeem this moment. We are living through a regime that is victimizing immigrants in at least as bad a way as early Nazi Germany victimized Jews. We all fucking know. We, all of us, live in the Zone of Interest.

“The worst place ever I’ve been in my life," Sakariye Abdi Mohamed, a Somali asylum seeker, told me over the phone from Guantanamo Bay last week. Sakariye is one of 7 or 8 Somalis who are being held at Gitmo. They say guards tell them the order to keep Somalis at the facility comes from DC.

This is a tax guy. His advice could be the difference between someone having their assets seized & maybe going to jail, or not. Now imagine having to worry about racist shit in every interaction you have with any person in authority. Every doctor & nurse, every cop, every lawyer & judge, every boss

A HMRC official was sacked because he was caught on camera saying he gives wrong information to black and brown people when they call for advice in a bid to sabotage them. He was a member of the far right group Patriotic Alternative. How many more?

The Nazis came for the disabled first. They tested gas chambers on us. They deemed us “useless eaters”. They had propaganda convincing people we were expendable. They got many of these ideas from the US. Eugenics is not new. Disability solidarity is needed to fight fascism.

jonesboro, through arkansas state university, was my family's gateway to this country when my great uncle was offered a professorship in the 1970s. i have a great many family members buried there, and they're all rolling in their graves over what's happened to craighead county

I have received video of Seth Moulton being loudly booed at Boston Pride.

Paul@pawlbologna.bsky.social

The Boston Globe is reporting that Seth Moulton was booed at Pride today: "You can't come here and act like you support our community when you're blaming our kids for losing the election"

Somehow we never talk about the lack of empathy shown by people who deliberately reject participating in herd immunity

The media relentlessly promotes the narrative that progressives are too mean to anti-vaxxers and we must bring them around with compassion. This isn't true and isn't helping. The more public sympathy you show them, the more empowered they are in their beliefs. www.statnews.com/2026/08/19/s...

Love how this dude discovered the cheat codes of "what if I listened to constituents" and "what if I modeled good behavior" and "maybe I behave like a normal person should." These are apparently dark secrets that have been hidden from other politicians.

I'm listening, I'm learning. Safety first, NYC.
