And so it begins. Remember, all you 'Back the Blue' simpleton bootlickers, that the mechanism of repression is always carried out by the police, usually the existing police at the outset. Occasionally reinforced by a separate hyper-partisan force later...for us the later is probably just ICE.

A young woman from Virginia was in the middle of a road trip when police pulled her over, because Flock flagged her vacation route as "suspicious." This is unacceptable — where we drive is none of the government's business.

Eh, fuck 'em either way. The Russians by and large seem to be on board.

Elon Musk says the world should have "sympathy for the poor Russian conscripts" because those "kids have no choice." There are no conscripts fighting in Ukraine. They are all well paid contract soldiers who volunteered and their average age is 38 years old.

Citizen's needs to be dismantled along with the court that ruled on it.

The SC ruling that corporate spending is a protected form of free speech is what led us to this point. It allows wealthy donors like Musk to interfere. For more information on the Citizens United ruling, go to the Brennan Center link below. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

We. We're paying $24B a week to service the interest on OUR debt. At least we the people got good stuff spending all of our great grandchildren's money...right?

OBAMA: "Trump is focused on enriching himself & his family/friends. A Venezuelan billionaire wanted a pardon, so he paid a Trump lawyers $50 million — and lo & behold! The pardon falls out of the sky... We’ve never seen a president straight-up grifting on your dime like this."

The whole role of Rupert Murdoch TV as a fount for fact-free partisan political disinformation is really amazing. As reported in media around the world, Pope Leo placed calls to Putin and Zelenskyy and got them to agree this ceasefire for relief to the encircled city.

Holy shit, dude.

US executives quit as Trump turns control over massive Alaska energy project to Putin underlings. The former chief executive of a $25bn US gas export venture says Russian energy giant Novatek was given control of the project by Trump, triggering a mass resignation of company leadership

I suspect this will amount to a big ole morning burger

Jared Kushner’s hacked iPhone revealed he promised MBS and MBZ he would push their agenda with Trump if they participated in a secret fund, with the two royals initially discussing over $10B before ultimately placing at least $2B into his accounts. Paywalled, use archive. archive.ph/FHGAt

In October 1983, the CIA warned exactly what Iran would do if provoked: strike Gulf oil facilities, mine the Strait of Hormuz, spike world prices. Four decades later, Trump’s war of choice is following that script almost line for line. The latest from @rashedmian.bsky.social for #UNFTR.

Hey there NYT, describing protestors interrupting a rally and then being assaulted by rallygoers as a "clash" is more than disingenuous. The protestors' verbal interruptions were not aggression, the punches thrown by the crowd were. Fuck, these times are dire.

Jon Stewart on Mike Rogers: “He was a real pain in our ass in 2010 when we fought for the Zadroga Act for 9/11 first responders. He called it a New York problem and voted against it, all while claiming to respect the heroes of 9/11. It was all bullshit.”

The United States has resumed sharing intelligence with Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed this on October 18. The extremely intense media pressure and criticism from within Trump's own Republican ranks also played a role in Washington's decision. Washington had

This is what these people need to face: a secular reckoning with their unAmerican theocratic delusions. This. Is. Not (and never will be). Gilead.

🔥 “Answer the question, Tommy — I think you’re the one who needs to read the constitution, not me.” @abdulelsayed.bsky.social skillfully handles a bigoted Islamophobic heckler and exposes him as the true religious zealot in the room.

The $111 billion Paramount Skydance–Warner Bros. Discovery merger puts two of the five largest studios, plus CNN and CBS News, under one mega-GOP-donor family. The erosion of the free press was already underway; this accelerated it. The latest from @rashedmian.bsky.social for #UNFTR.
