Average Trump scandal: many people dead after uncontroversial government program illegally cut by doge for nonexistent savings Average mamdani scandal: he’s playing BASKETBALL with his FRIENDS

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

I’m daring to dream that we are just 9 days a way from a major reshuffling of American Politics that we’ll unequivocally call the end of MAGA.

I started reading Kierkegaard and now I’m a tradwife.

found out that my mother in law decided she was aggressively pro trans rights literally by going, I don't know anything about this but everyone who is against trans rights is also against free school lunch, the issue I know and care a lot about, so this must be the correct way to feel about this

sometimes a person dreams of sixty degrees of separation, warp drive when?

I love the fall

Basketball being back is a balm to my soul.

For Carrie Frances: 🎂 ❤️

ratio like I have never seen before

Flippissippi?

lol. lmao. I’m going to enjoy these next few weeks. I’m not sure what the freakout to a failed authoritarian consolidation will look like, but let me enjoy it failing a bit.

A lot of people understand that we’re two minutes to midnight on the constitutional order

Definitely the funniest sentence I’ve seen in a while.

The best kind of incidental reply to Jacobin.

This is just a masterclass. El-Sayed has the possibility to do some incredible things for Michigan and America.

sin that pays its way can travel freely, and without a passport; whereas Virtue, if a pauper, is stopped at all frontiers

A rogue executive going after the citizenship and thus eligibility of a duly elected member of Congress, an attempt to usurp the House's fundamental constitutional power to decide who its own members are, is dangerous in a way that exceeds even the possibility of bogus trumped up criminal charges.

Today is Indigenous Peoples Day. Please remove Columbus Day from your vocabulary.

Today, on Indigenous Peoples’ Day, and every day, we honor the first peoples of these lands and celebrate the rich histories, cultures, and contributions of Tribal Nations.

Pretty sad that the whole of ‘Western Civilization’ to those proclaiming it’s defense is merely the impunity of white men at the expense of virtually every other thing. I wish this guys were vanguards of something besides racism, misogyny and cheap suits but it’s all they know.

I don’t remember most of my dreams but losing an officemate to a sparrow bite infection is some a+ weirdness unconscious brain.

For the past two years I've been tracking every bill proposed in state legislatures across the country to figure out what Republican plans for the future are. The answer, based on these 1,182 bills, is that they want to repeal the 20th Century heartlandsignal.com/2026/09/09/b...

8 time Texas HS football state champion coach knows what’s at stake this November.

With all due respect to the Great Khan of the North, the young Khan of the woods Ossoff is really grabbing the Mantle of Heaven with both hands. The spirit of Temujin works through him.

One of the absolute greatest in the field, RIP.

Dennis Hastert, ur pedo, has finally kicked the bucket. Shame that his legacy is living on so vigorously in the Republican Party, and nothing will get you put on the outs like calling it out, or worse still, doing something about it.

My 80’s kid hypothesis is Republicans are a diabolical Skeksi/Fraggle hybrid, and Dems are urRu/Doozer coded. Maybe I just like Jim Henson productions too much though.

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

"they really believe it"/"they will try to do it"/"the promises are real" are things that most americans refuse to believe about politicians but if you take them seriously will help you predict political behavior more often than not

Lucan Way and I have been writing about competitive authoritarianism for more than 25 years. We never thought we'd write this piece. www.journalofdemocracy.org/articles/com...

I have been refreshing my memory on Beto O'Rourke's run against Ted Cruz in 2018 in light of Talarico vs Paxton

MK kinda appropriate here.

Todd Achilles winning Idaho will break Republicans brains so utterly that if the party doesn’t collapse in this scenario (in which they most likely lose Texas, Florida, Nebraska and Kansas Senate seats as well), I have no idea what will.

Trump is as bad for US tourism as a plague. What a disaster.

It’s the Before Trilogy. I feel so middle aged saying it, but it really is the best.

Election integrity flying along like this:

Okay, I am going to make your week a lot better with a recommendation today. I don't care if you are a Marvel fan, a Muppet fan, or both, or neither. This morning I bought MUPPETS TAKE THE MARVEL UNIVERSE #1 on digital because I couldn't wait for a physical copy. People. BUY THIS BOOK.

Oh my God

This thought isn't fully formed or polished because I'm operating on two lattes and a piece of chocolate cake at the moment, but quick and dirty thread on AI doomsday narratives as partially an outgrowth of changes in tech industry labor conditions:
