DHS is so off the deep end that a spokesperson appears to be using the line “That is a 40mm launcher that fires beanbags and rubber projectiles” like that excuses what we’re seeing.

Rubber bullets can kill people, even when they’re not fired at point blank range.

Here's the thing. We still have the power (probably) to say that this image must not be what America is. We still have the power to say "fuck no, we refuse to allow this to be what the streets of America look like." Attend a "No Kings" rally this Saturday. And then vote in 2026.

And, if Moulton is your Rep in Congress (unfortunately, he's mine) and you don't know what a shit candidate he is, you're either oblivious to the shit candidate staring you in the face or you're one of his relatives.

You're an unprincipled hack who'd happily sell out any Democratic constituency if it meant you were a hair's breadth closer to power - which is why you should be nowhere near it.

Ron H. @ronthinkmedia.bsky.social · 7h

He's my Rep and I'm right there with you. Terrible constituent services and a remarkably unremarkable track record to match. Moulton is a master of running his mouth, showing up for photo ops and fluffing his delusional ambitions.

IT'S NO ACCIDENT that anti-American, child-raping, Putin puppet fascist dictator wannabe traitor Trump filled his Cabinet full of the most ignorant, arrogant, lawless, deluded, anti-truth, anti-science, anti-human rights criminal corrupt cronies. NO AMERICAN OF HONOR WOULD EVER WORK FOR THE FASCIST.

Trump’s Argentina bailout enriches one well-connected billionaire

It would be great if they were upfront about calling out the misinformation. They are at least taking steps to keep it from spreading further. It’s also a good reminder that there are laws, like the Hatch Act, meant to keep government resources from being used for partisan political messaging.

Citing Hatch Act concerns, this is one of a number of airports across the country that refused to show Secretary Maybelline's propaganda video. Keep in mind, if an airport is running the video it's likely because the local airport authority does not own or control the on-site TSA video system.

Trump says migrants drive violent crime in Illinois. But ICE can’t find many violent criminals.

Masked ICE agents and other federal forces showed up in Chicago to go after gangsters. Instead, they keep catching people who are just living their lives.

Media companies thought late night TV was irrelevant. Kimmel proved them wrong

Jimmy Kimmel's return to airwaves might just point the way forward for late night TV to prove its relevance to American audiences — and to itself.

"Though Kimmel’s return didn’t come until the fourth week of the month, the ABC show’s record performance on September 23 and sustained higher-than-usual numbers through the end of September" helped the show take the top spot among total viewers at 11:35 PM.

But not a peep from Trump about sending troops to South Carolina (437 offenses/100,000 people, 10th highest in the US) or Mississippi (the US state with the highest homicide rate) to "prevent crime." 🤔 Wonder why??
