Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

Was at a memorial service tonight. 2 hours of being absorbed in the moment & away from the news… & then the shock when it crashes back in.

The amount of our joy, health, & peace being stolen by these fascist fucks is just too much.

It’s too much and has to stop.

Please protest on 10/18

All you peacenik liberals wringing hands over what to do: Yes, of course, vote. It's your primary responsibility as a citizen.

But now more than ever, fulfill your second civic responsibility: Serve on juries. Never has it been more imperative to thwart rogue injustice.

New, from me:
Trump's 3 step plan to create a military omniforce
1. Purge - those deemed disloyal
2. Merge - different parts of law enforcement/military
3. Surge - impose the omniforce on Dem cities; instigate unrest; assert dominance; silence dissent
donmoynihan.substack.com/p/purge-merg...

Purge, Merge, and Surge

Trump is creating a omniforce of armed loyalists to establish his police state

Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

Sally Jenkins @sallyjenx.bsky.social · 14h

This is really smart. Amazed at the hysteria over the ascendance of a woman entrepreneur who clearly knows how to cover and sell news and who's not afraid to take on a mob. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Don’t Bet Against Bari Weiss

The new editor in chief of CBS News triumphs over her critics.

MIKE JOHNSON, THE "LIMPEST DICK" IN DC, CALLED NO-KINGS DAY A "HATE AMERICA RALLY." HOLY MIKE CAN FUCK STRAIGHT OFF WITH THAT NONSENSE. HOW ABOUT DOING YOUR JOB FOR ONCE AND RELEASING THE EPSTEIN FILES? THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO POSSIBLY MY GREATEST POST EVER. LINK: IS HERE: bit.ly/48WrAIv

free clue for Mike Johnson: this is not a ‘hate America’ rally. we don’t hate America, you asshole. if we did, we’d be cheering Donny Convict’s fascist fuckery — because that shit is tearing America apart, and destroying it faster than our adversaries could have ever hoped.

Kelly: I really worry about those aviators, drone operators, special forces guys that are in the Caribbean right now striking these boats and whether or not this is legal..

There’s no authorization for the use of military force. The Congress has not given that to the president. He hasn’t asked.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

Agreed. Nobody does, but especially when their thought processes aren't functioning correctly. They should be given some grace because I guarantee that most of their days already feel like an endless stream of punishment.

I still commend & encourage you. 🏆😍🫂 There's no such thing as "completely hopeless," & I'm a perfect example. I thought I'd NEVER get off the hard shit & back to "normal." There were a lot of ppl who never gave up on me & it paid off. We humans need to spread ❤️ & kindness, not stoke the 🔥🔥 of hate.

Don't feel bad if you can't make a breakthrough. I was unhoused for 3.5 years; I know 1sthand that it's likely there are untreated MH conditions, & possibly an addiction issue, @ play here. I now work in MH/social work, & the data is undeniable. I got treatment for both &, 20 yrs later, I'm better.❤️

This unwell man, who was President of the United States, is trying to rewrite history.

Nice try, Don. Biden wasn’t president on January 6, 2021. I would say even his own voters can’t be this gullible, but…

Writing something about ICE and sweet Jesus it is so incredibly dark what they are doing to these cities. We have all seen the videos, but when you wade into the details of their actions, it is extraordinarily bleak.
