Does Nancy need a grown-up to talk to?

The history books (or whatever media) about this time will be 🔥

He is by far the most popular USA “Halloween” decoration now.

We suck so hard. All that cool harvest, All Souls, Dia de los Muertos and Samhain stuff available, and we choose ‘70s gorror B-movie crap.

The best we can hope to do for the shitty is to outlive them, outnumber them, save the few that are saveable, and shun the rest - maybe painting their heads safety orange to warn passersby.

Why are the ICE goons always masked? Easy. They’re the Thumb Thumbs from “Spy Kids”.

Damn all the saps who fell for his transparently stupid and phony “Hillbilly Elegy” act.

And yes, it was possible to detect what bullshit it was in real time, and call it out as such.

I'm no authority on Hell, but if it does exist, people denying hungry people food and those celebrating those who do are a shoo-in.

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

Not an understatement to say how transformational and solid of a bill this is. All the best parts of the robust reform package the Senate passed in the spring, with none of the negative baggage of the new funding sources since we’re moving existing fuel taxes from highways to transit operations

Amen to this.

One of the right wing's top cultural initiatives was trying to destroy the idea that assholery deserves shame and we'll have to reverse that. "I'm just expressing an opinion I'm entitled to." Ok but you're an asshole. "I'm simply doing a business practice that technically isn't illegal." Ok. Asshole

DC media: Stop trying to make Rahm happen. He's not going to happen. He can try, but after sucking all the media energy he will flop. He will lose Illinois, because he is uniformly hated in his home state. And his rep here will guarantee a loss in Southern states.

If you care who becomes president in 2028, make time to read @ashleyrparker.bsky.social 's wild ride profile of Rahm Emanuel, the "pile-driver" candidate in waiting.

Rahm Emanuel … For President?

He’d like you to keep an open mind.

The Trump administration is gleefully engaging in acts of cruelty against immigrants, U.S. citizens and entire communities, and they’re doing it because, at the risk of sounding too academic, they’re weak and they suck. Clowns like Greg Bovino aren’t fooling anyone.

Full of faux bravado, Trump's Border Patrol turned a children's Halloween parade in Chicago into chaos, tossing tear gas canisters without warning.

Where are the consequences for this Smarmlord’s dog-ate-my-homework act? When will people who reflexively vote for GOPers startle awake and realize they’ve been taken for granted and screwed for over 50 years?

This weirdo’s little “combat guy hand signal” display on the street after the judge reamed him yesterday was adorable.

Good morning and happy Wednesday to everyone. I'm not on food stamps. I don't get Medicaid. I rely on no social safety nets. But I still believe in fully funding these programs. Why? Because I'm not a selfish dipshit.
