The Oasis Borschewski tugs at the bedspread and pillows until they lie just so. Not that he gives a shit about pillows, really, or that Nina does. The street

“The Guardrails are restrained, but they exist” We are Minneapolis, Portland, Los Angeles, D.C. Chicago, Charlotte, NOLA- Don’t fall for the psychological warfare. BE A GUARDRAIL
The whole world is being held hostage by a monkey with a flamethrower. And no-one’s sure they can get it off him before he presses the flame on button, so they’re just throwing bananas at him to keep him happy. It’s astounding.
Jesse Welles is back with another great song. Last time it was the Epstein list. This time Venezuela. Bravo, Jesse!!!
Republicans refuse to extend benefits for the Affordable Care Act meaning millions of Americans will lose healthcare coverage. GOP wants you to suffer

They’re only going after Tylenol because the president of the United States can’t say acetaminophen. 🤦♂️
He was betrayed by those he was close to. Persecuted for his beliefs. Publicly crucified to serve as a cautionary tale to his followers. Then, by divine grace, he was resurrected. The people rejoiced. Needless to say, I’m referring to Jimmy Kimmel.
Wanted to share this great, great photo from the Chicago Tribune, taken September 19 at the ICE detention facility in Broadview IL, outside Chicago. Protesters there have been tear gassed and shot with pepper balls. An ICE goon threw a Dem House candidate on the ground (she’s a little tiny thing).
Fucking finally. Fight back against the bullshit framing that tries to make Dems responsible for everything. The GOP is *choosing* to create this kind of societal environment. They could stop it at any time. They have agency as well. They’re not fucking children (except when, well, you know)
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last yr.Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."
This is why Republicans have to cheat with maps. They can't win on policy.

What a beautiful last line. From Linda Pastan's book, Queen of a Rainy Country: bit.ly/lindaqueenLB #poem #books #writing
Nope. The exact opposite. I wish for Trump to fail BECAUSE I wish for America to succeed. What Trump is doing - his stupid tariffs, his cruel deportations, his traitorous siding with Putin - will all hurt America. I don’t want to hurt America. So of course I want Trump to fail.
Trump couldn’t get a deal with Putin (duh). Anyways, here’s Obama with his Nobel Peace Prize.
I see the story of this secret meeting between Vance and Murdoch is finally getting some traction.
Randi Mayem Singer@rmayemsinger.bsky.social · last yr.Hmmmmm. So Vance had a secret meeting with Murdoch last week. And then the birthday letter story dropped! And then JD Vance acted like the birthday letter story was a big shock!
