Friends: please share and donate if you can. I’ve trained with PAM and they do so much supportive work behind the scenes. Things are getting rough and scary and the more informed people we have by our sides the better!

I think they should just start making shit up, but together. Like if this administration is going to act like middle schoolers, treat them as such.

“The Defense Department has confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America,” the Pentagon Press Association said

Oct. 15, 2025
PENTAGON PRESS ASSOCIATION
STATEMENT
Today, the Defense Department confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America. It did this because reporters would not sign onto a new media policy over its implicit threat of criminalizing national security reporting and exposing those who sign it to potential prosecution.
The Pentagon Press Association's members are still committed to reporting on the U.S. military. But make no mistake, today, Oct. 15, 2025 is a dark day for press freedom that raises concerns about a weakening U.S. commitment to transparency in governance, to public accountability at the Pentagon and to free speech for all.

I listen to books on Libby and tried to listen to the next book and was confused by the opening chapter that I stopped and never picked it back up. It’s not good.

I spent my teen years as a punk kid in Portland Oregon and have to words for anyone who thinks Nazi “kids” aren’t harmless: Mulugeta Seraw.

If you don’t know the name, google it and understand. I hope you’re as horrified as you should be and learn from it.

Anyone who was involved in the punk scene in the 80s or 90s knows that Nazi “kids” aren’t harmless. They cause real harm and violence. These young republicans are no different, except they’re affiliated with a major political party instead of some tiny fascist cult.

Here’s the deal, Mike Johnson, you worked 9 days since July, make $200K, and get best free healthcare we pay for, while shutting down ours.

Want it fair? Start with your paychecks. No work, no pay and no damn free healthcare for any of you. Let Congress feel the pain they dump on the rest of us.

Finding out D’Angelo was on 51 and we lost him at such a young age is just too much

Taking D’Angelo when there’s an 80 year old decrepit orange clown around is really unfair…

Today in Portland, a fed shooting pepper balls from the roof of the ICE facility was so eager to aim for people’s heads, that after shooting one photographer in the head and another in the upper arm, they accidentally shot a DHS agent in the head. This photo shows the moment of impact;
