James Talarico: Since taking office, Ken Paxton has become a multi-millionaire — all while most Texans’ pay has remained stagnant for decades. He now owns 15 homes, while most Texans can't afford one. We can't afford Ken Paxton's corruption.

Release the Epstein files!

This administration’s robotic operatives were betrayed by robots! LOL

Reuter got this story wrong… It’s not mislabeled countries. None of those blobs are the shape or location of any actual African nation. It’s entirely AI slop! What a joke! www.reuters.com/world/africa...

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom. Many may not know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country. (Published 2022)

“Sympathy bump.” Mission accomplished?

Republicans says they believe in voter ID, but when one of their own got caught in the snare, what happened? Donald Trump endorsed him. I give you the curious case of John Wahl.

We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done: A superpower is committing suicide because the GOP Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King. This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.

Grateful for the last word in @hcrichardson.bsky.social's newsletter about #NoKings. As a social movement scholar, the protests were important for their size and for how many sites participated but also because they are part of a trajectory of participation of millions. A 🧵:

October 19, 2025

And from image events, we get POLYSEMIC images that carry multiple forms of ideology into the present. Here, we have the convergence of Shepard Fairey's iconic HOPE poster for the Obama campaign with the frog icon from #NoKings. The is how you visually dismantle fascist iconography.

We have millions in the streets already and he has some incel making middle school AI videos … that’s ALL HE’S GOT.

Dr. Lisa Corrigan@drlisacorrigan.bsky.social · 10mo ago

Folks are asking what to do about the One Special Boy's AI vids and whether they should share them: MOCK THEM WITHOUT SHARING. This creates what an enthymeme, where readers have to SUPPLY PART OF THE REFERENT to understand what you are mocking. An enthymeme is the STRONGEST form of persuasion.

This is absurdly bad PR. These are the images that need amplified. If you're online, think strategically about which images need to go viral to tell the story of the horrors of this moment. RT and share the shit out of them.

I don’t care what outrageous crap they’re announcing right now, we want the Trump Administration controlled DOJ to #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

We’re not talking about this enough!! We Americans are always talking about big brother and China’s CCP spying on people but why aren’t we worried about Planatir waging war on American citizens? They’re using facial recognition to identify and locate peaceful protesters.

🚨BREAKING: The John Lewis Voting Rights Act (killed by Sinema & Manchin in 2021) was reintroduced yesterday by Sen. Warnock (HR114)! Almost no media coverage. Let’s change that. Call your reps. Make noise. Pass the damn bill.🗳️ More: www.hrc.org/resources/vo...

Is he cosplaying a military general leading a junta ? Or just cosplaying ala Kristie Noem?

To anyone who wondered, what could go wrong if we elected as president a highly volatile, deeply dishonest, simple-minded cretin with a revenge fetish, the answer is THIS. All of THIS.

When Joe Biden did stuff like this, Fox would play the clips over and over like it was as significant as the moon landing

President Trump stumbles while walking up the stairs to Air Force One

This is a consistent theme since yesterday from people on the ground in Paramount. Yes, there are crowds, there are protesters. But they are PEACEFUL. ICE began firing tear gas, flash bangs and smoke bombs once they saw people who happened to be there start filming.

What to know about counterprotests to Trump's June 14 parade

Dozens of pro-democracy advocacy groups are partnering to organize the No Kings events.

Squeaker Johnson is the perfect namby pamby fascist tool…

Bill Kristol@billkristolbulwark.bsky.social · last yr.

Speaker of the House: Using active duty Marines on the streets of an American city is just “peace through strength.” ‼️ So we can’t count on the Speaker to defend the rule of law, or to defend the military against misuse.

LAPD STATEMENT: “The protests remained peaceful… without incident…”

Excellent tip for the TACO Tank Parade!

Ice cream trucks should follow them everywhere, replacing their jingle with the Imperial March.

Leaders in tragedy. I hope they can soon be leaders in restoration and thriving.
