This is the most important politics story in a long time. Twitter has radicalized the young GOP into overt Nazism and white supremacy and the news has spent years pretending not to see.

It’s a gleefully racist and antisemitic party now. Stop pretending otherwise www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Heads up: today is an expensive day for me, as I just bought a used server. Also, M. R. Carey's INFINITY GATE is on US ebook sale for $3, so I got 10 copies of it. Yes, I blew my budget on this, because I love this book SO MUCH.

The Fifth Season by @nkjemisin.bsky.social is also on US ebook sale for $3, and I got 6 copies of that for random giveaway.

Sunshine by Robin McKinley is also on US Kindle sale for $3, and I got 6 of those for random giveaway. Sunshine is probably my favorite vampire book.

2. A war without a specific military objective is inherently a forever war.

If you fight a war with the expectation that you will simply kill all people who you believe disagree with you, the war will be long and bloody and genocidal.

Whereas if your healthcare provider says you have the spine of someone forty years older than yourself, that's pretty solidly correct.

"my problem is that I'm not Authentic enough, and I'm not connected enough to the land" my friend I am afraid the problem is that you are as authentic a human as has ever lived, and that reason is unfortunately why the land is likely soaked in ancient blood

one of the reasons they're so mad at "no kings" is that they thought they were going to get a different kind of protest. they *want* the black bloc to be out there fighting with the cops. those are the images they've been trying to generate from "go." instead--

MAGA Rage at “No Kings” Boils Over—and It Quickly Backfires on Trump

As Trump allies smear the coming protests, a good writer on MAGA skewers the absurdity of these attacks on large swaths of Americans—and explains why our best recourse will be to turn out in force.

Has anyone ever been told their "cardiac age" after their routine six month annual physical before? Is that a thing that actually happens somewhere other than in the Walter Reed platinum suite?

I'm sorry, is the Trump Administration talking to a tech platform?

Is it...requesting content moderation?

Today following outreach from @thejusticedept, Facebook removed a large group page that was being used to dox and target @ICEgov agents in Chicago.
The wave of violence against ICE has been driven by online apps and social media campaigns designed to put ICE officers at risk just for doing their jobs. The Department of Justice will continue engaging tech companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent violence against federal law enforcement.
