🚨 At least 21 people were injured and one woman was killed in Russia's attack on Kyiv. Local authorities confirmed damage to the Dobrobut medical center, a business center, and apartment buildings.

Bike/pedestrian networks don't take 30 years to build. Stop accepting those timelines in your community. The best practices have been proven & they already exist. Safety should already be the #1 priority. The ROI is unbeatable. The timeline is a moral document and it shouldn't be generational.

Who says they “don’t make enough money”? Compared to what? You don’t need to grant the far right authoritarian party’s premise. You can write that they’re using arbitrary numbers based on no standards that should not be taken seriously, & you can just say that plainly instead of stenographizing

Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/kQdKbY1

it’s so funny that people were like “OMG a 2PM Oval Office announcement, is Trump going to end the war in Iran or invade Cuba?!?!” and it turns out, no, he’s just going to rant about how good the economy is + how elections are rigged and then fall asleep

Trump's eyes are getting very heavy

we really need to start calling out these conservative christians for just straight up not believing in christianity. if you don’t believe christian teaching, nobody is forcing you to call yourself a christian! free yourself!

Wow great game by the Commanders, defeating the Super Bowl winners. It sucks when the Seahawks lose but I'd rather them not being undefeated.

I love how the so called "China hawks" can pretend that Biden was worse on the PRC than Trump. It's just hilarious.

US Ambassador to China David Perdue says in their recent meeting Trump asked President Xi if China wanted to buy weapons systems from the US.

The Saudis believed that a corrupt U.S. government was in their interest, writes Nicholas Grossman. But in reality, bribable usually means selfish and weak. foreignpolicy.com/2026/09/24/i...

Saudi Arabia Bribed the Wrong People

Riyadh’s bet on Trumpism has failed.

The Plot to Enslave America. They want to guarantee that Americans are consumers of last resort for Big Oil and the Gulf Monarchies' otherwise stranded reserves as the rest of the world electrifies and renders oil obsolete.

"The Trump administration will move on Monday to sharply scale back fuel-efficiency rules for new cars and light trucks," reports @maxinejoselow.bsky.social: www.nytimes.com/2026/09/26/c...

Even though I'm a huge Seahawks fan, I really felt bad for the Commanders here. It was a legit penalty though.

Kole Musgrove@kolemusgrove.bsky.social · 2d ago

Seahawks got bailed out by an illegal formation penalty on the Commanders... wiped out a 48 yard touchdown run by them.

Conversion therapy is probably the only thing I have completely lost my cool with strangers about: several years ago I was in line to enter the statehouse to go to a totally different hearing, and got stuck in a huge group of pro-conversion folks 🤬 It's abuse at any age, and causes lifelong harm.

Senator Scott Wiener@scottwiener.bsky.social · 2d ago

Thank you Governor Newsom for signing my bill to strengthen California’s ban on youth conversion therapy — psychological torture where a therapist tries to change someone’s sexual orientation or gender identity. Conversion therapy has caused incalculable harm to LGBTQ young people over the years. 🧵

There’s an insane nihilism here right at the heart of modern conservative movement that is fundamentally removed from any sense of economic rationality

Amee Vanderpool@girlsreallyrule.bsky.social · 2d ago

Trump announces he will sharply scale back fuel-efficiency rules for new cars and light trucks, gutting one of the government’s most significant efforts to reduce gasoline consumption and speed the country’s shift to electric vehicles.

I see 25 cars in the entire oncoming lane for that whole frame and 25 cyclists in the first 50 feet of the other lane.

Maybe not Democrats but there's something to organizations as in person social vehicles. I spent 25 years in an org because it was also social in addition to human rights activism.

Rachel Hallie@dazedrachel.bsky.social · 4d ago

Literally what is with this rise of "actually the local Dem party should fulfill all my social needs" takes I am not doing movie night with Dems. I am not joining a Dem volunteer soccer league. I am not joining Democratic speed dating. Stop using politics as secular church!!!!

YouTube, TikTok and Meta have all turned down the trailer for the Oct. 9 doc, citing “political” content. X won't even take Bleecker Street's calls. The distributor is appealing.

Exactly right. It's guaranteed that I do slightly odd things so it would at best hypocritical for me to nick someone for doing that same thing.

Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social · 4d ago

Generally if I was doing a job interview I would aspire not to do anything at all that could be perceived as Odd or Unexpected, but if I was interviewing someone and they did something that was only slightly Odd or Unexpected, I would probably not think about it much (glass houses, you know?)

Glad about the result, but I don’t think it speaks well of us as a country that after two years of human rights violations, war crimes, naked gangster corruption, and contempt for the Constitution, he’s finally unpopular because gas got expensive.

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · 4d ago

Remarkable: An Iowa right wing radio host just leaked word that GOP polling shows House Rs in peril even in districts Trump won by +10. The culript? Trump and the war. On the pod, Iowa Dem chair Rita Hart explains why the conditions are ripe for big Dem rural gains: newrepublic.com/article/2158...

I'd like to know why. I think it's nice to have a water available because I get dried mouth when I'm nervous.

I’m sorry, but if you bring an iced coffee - or any damn beverage at all - to a job interview, you’re disqualified. It’s not hard, people.

Meischa was Roger Marshall's patient. This is her story.

I still can't believe Gov. Jared Polis and pundit Matt Yglesias told everyone that this Richard Hanania guy is an impressive intellectual—Polis: "[Hanania is] doing actual thinking which is rare these days"—and more people should follow and read him. Well, I can believe it. But it says something.

Alan Elrod@aselrod.bsky.social · 5d ago

IMO it’s clear from Richard Hanania’s own words that he believes that rape, both statutory and violent, is the right of a certain kind of man. Elite men It’s appalling that this man is given a drop of ink or a second of interview time in our media. My latest: www.liberalcurrents.com/richard-hana...

i really can’t bring myself to care about AI anthropomorphism debates. “is AI thinking?” i don’t know. is a calculator calculating? questions for the philosophers. what’s important is that we put sam altman in prison.

Our American elections are free and secure. The smear campaign against them is an attempt to acquire powers to subvert them.

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.
