Posting a currency design that I personally like (1/∞)

•Swiss 8th series 100 franc note•

The Swiss have a way with currency design that truly fascinates me. They invent a new style every time they rotate a series. The 8th series in particular is like no other. 🧵

And why do I specifically say this? Because DC is a domestic issue, Puerto Rico is a colonial issue. They are not the same and to make equivalences will lead you to very wrong and misinformed conclusions.

Annexation will introduced more federal taxation that will literally crumble our society and rapidly accelerate our displacement from Puerto Rico.

Again, taxation without representation is something that applies to DC but not Puerto Rico, for we don’t pay federal income taxes, and most of the taxes we pay of our own, which squeeze our earnings and among many other colonial factors, makes living in Puerto Rico as a Puerto Rican impossible.

I’ve been sitting with this the last few hours. It’s really hitting me just how fucking depraved you have to be to respond to an inquiry about an abducted child with a screenshot of a post on elon musk’s hellsite smearing this kid who has no ability to defend himself. It’s unfathomable.

I asked ICE why they couldn’t comment on their own arrest. The agent said to direct questions to DHS. And it appears DHS is making accusations via X to justify the abduction of a child.

This is the response I received from ICE when I inquired about the 13-year-old they abducted from Everett, Mass. on Friday:

Good afternoon, Marisa.
Please see the below from DHS on the 13-year-old alien.
Please feel free to direct any questions to them.
Respectfully,
James

maybe this will help some realize that you don’t need access to cover the government effectively. in fact, it’s actually better.

The Pentagon is telling beat reporters to sign restrictive new rules by Tuesday or surrender their press passes by Wednesday. Many news organizations are rejecting the ultimatum and saying they will not sign. Here's my latest >>> www.cnn.com/2025/10/13/m...

The Guardian did a profile of Linehan last month in which they described a 57 year old man’s years-long obsession with harassing trans people as “gender activism”

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

A mom in Houston reported her 15-year-old son with autism missing. She spent 6 days terrified, searching for him. The whole time, Houston police knew exactly where he was since they helped ICE place him in a refugee facility.

This is beyond cruel.

Tweets to make your eyes bleed

Antony Blinken and Andrea Mitchell tweets:

Antony Blinken
@ABlinken
Oct 11
(1/12) In Gaza today, the guns are largely silent. If all goes as planned, the remaining Israeli hostages will return home. Palestinians will get the relief they desperately need and deserve. Nothing can erase the pain and loss of the past two years. But there is real hope of building on this step to finally end the war. President Trump and his envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner deserve our collective thanks for producing this ceasefire and the renewed possibility of lasting peace.

A few reflections on how we reached this moment and where it could lead:

Andrea Mitchell
@mitchellreports
Thank you for spending two years working toward this moment creating the basis for the agreement once the two sides were finally prepared to compromise - we hope!
