Please remind us who the domestic terrorists are again.

Yeah, that is a tear gas canister being fired toward the retreating couple holding the baby

This is what you do when you fundamentally believe you are not dealing with fellow human beings. Just inconvenient cargo to be neutralized and jettisoned.

Trump admin has frozen or cancelled $28 b for projects, almost all in Dem districts. Small amount of frozen funds in GOP districts are in predominately Dem states (CA, OR, WA, CO, MN, IL, NY, MD), or in predominately Dem cities (St Louis, Atlanta, Greenville) www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Why FIFA didn’t move the games out of the US months and months ago is beyond me

Feds ram SUV in chase down residential street in Chicago, then tear-gas crowd

and yes I’m still pinning because I can’t figure out where the stuff I’ve bookmarked is

Must read!

My take: It’s both a dot com bubble and an Enron bubble.

Not sure about the telecom bubble. Neither the software nor the data centers are durable assets

We’re still using the fiber that got laid in 1999

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

Imagine if one billionaire had this type of mindset. ONE

"heartfelt beliefs and concerns of a traumatized nation, as spoken by ordinary citizens? that would be a good story, but I’m not seeing it in Big Journalism" @sulliview.bsky.social

U.S. police kill roughly 25 pet dogs a day, the majority of which pose no threat to them.

NEW: A significant gap in weather balloon coverage in western Alaska, caused by Trump admin cuts to NOAA/NWS, may have hurt the forecast accuracy for the deadly storm there over the weekend. www.cnn.com/2025/10/14/w...

This is no more lawful than if Iran / North Korea / whoever blew up a couple American yachts in the Mediterranean for suspected drug trafficking. On the legal spectrum it sits in the middle of a Venn diagram between overt acts of military aggression, state-sponsored terrorism, and simple murder.

When people show you who they are, believe them.

And of course JD Vance refused to condemn this.

Entirely believable

Who will ally with us ever again?

Noncitizens have the right to freedom of speech.

A man named Nicky Crawford transformed a school bus into a mobile laundry service for the homeless called “Flowing with Blessings” He teamed up with Georgia Tech engineering students and created the bus, which provides free laundry, showers, haircuts & meals for the homelessness

Extraordinary NYT story:

Trump’s DOJ pressured out another US Attorney in WESTERN Virginia for finding that a grand jury probe his bosses demanded was unwarranted.

They wanted a case discrediting the Russia probe — evidence be damned. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/14/u...

one response to this (correct) observation is to say “well, the cops will attack you no matter how you dress and behave.” that’s right. images of cops and ICE beating grandmas and kids in inflatable frog costumes is a win for the opposition.

Saying it again: moving to the right costs you the base you have while gaining you nothing. Result: 0.

Although swaggering out to find a mostly empty briefing room might be an interesting development
