Worth remembering…

Still awaiting my George $oros payment for showing up at #NoKINGS_Day & staying until noon. Somebody slipped this 20 under my door, but something about it seems fake.

I was right about her 10 years ago.

New in PN: The triumph of bullshit "We’re a long way from 'covfefe' and tumescent hurricanes Sharpied on a weather map. This is an era of lies as policy, where government priorities are based on right-wing conspiracy theories and fear-mongering."

Missing the days when, if a scary masked man approached us on the street, WE pepper sprayed HIM, not the other way around.

We also wonder this

Q: What did you mean when you said you're prepared to send 'more than the National Guard' into American cities? TRUMP: if I want to enact a certain act, I'd be allowed to do whatever I want. The courts wouldn't get involved. Nobody would. I could send Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines -anybody I want

If SNAP benefits vanished tomorrow, feeding 42 million Americans for a month would cost about $7.8 billion.That’s less than 1% of the combined net worth of the three richest men in the U.S. A reminder of how obscene inequality has become and how easily hunger could be solved if we chose to.

these guys just love doing this. nothing like 8 storm troopers beating the absolute shit out of a defenseless old person www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

The president had a MRI but won't say why. He had bruises on his hands but wouldn't say why. He just had an 'annual medical' even though he already had his annual medical. He got shot in the ear but has never released the medical records relating to it. How is any of this ok?

Karoline Leavitt officially announced the "Launch of a large-scale investigation to find the people behind 'No Kings.'" I've saved her some time.

Good morning to everyone who won’t be spending their day rounding people up based on what they look like.

Newsom Not Afraid To Share His Plan For The World's 5th Largest Economy,California, in Spite Of Chump.......

Uni is coming…

Mike Johnson: "If the president was a king, then the government would be open." (Trump yesterday said he no longer has a need for Congress.)

It’s not law enforcement. It’s a deputized partisan militia.

@jessicatarlov.bsky.social's middle name is 🔥🔥🔥

NEW: The Trump admin just ended the practice of automatically extending work permits when people file to renew them — meaning that if USCIS takes too long to process a renewal the applicant loses their authorization to work legally. The interim final rule applies to renewals filed after tomorrow.

Minority representation on TV causes outrage From the new Private Eye, in shops now.

Newsom: The New Testament and Old Testament have one dominant thing in common—Matthew, Isaiah, Luke, Proverbs, go down the list—it’s about food, about serving those who are hungry. It’s not a suggestion; it’s core and essential to what it means to align with God’s will.

So the president took a dementia test, and then they administered an MRI. Where’s the media on this?

honestly the only piece worth reading on the platner situation. @tressiemcphd.bsky.social is absolutely cooking here. (gift link)

When you accidentally hit “free roam mode” on your Roomba.

Another pro tip for @cnn.com guests: Remember never to say on air that Scott Jennings is lying on air and that network management is paying him to lie on air when, in fact, he is lying on air as the network pays him to do 🤣

Rep. Rosa DeLauro: "On the food stamp issue, the money is there! Let them not get away with saying they can't do it. Their political will isn't there to feed the people who rely on the SNAP program which is the most effective anti-hunger program in the USA."

We live in an episode of Veep

The Senate is still meeting and holding votes as normal despite the shutdown. The House has not held a vote in a month and a half now solely because Mike Johnson wants to prevent the release of the Epstein Files. They've killed our government to save their pedophiles.

Good morning and happy Wednesday to everyone. I'm not on food stamps. I don't get Medicaid. I rely on no social safety nets. But I still believe in fully funding these programs. Why? Because I'm not a selfish dipshit.

Keir Starmer's failure to stand up to this man is a cowardly and suicidal calamity

Obviously California has issues but this defense of their policies by Newsom is worth watching. TN is a low tax state - for the top. regressive for the bottom. our services and laws punish working people also (bottom in infant & maternal mortality, poverty, school spending, violent crime, etc..)

You’ve heard of Duo Lingo, but I found Uno Longo.

A mother of 8 was deported within 24 hours of reporting sexual harassment by an ICE contracto She was following the rules & going through the process to get her green card Someone working on behalf of ICE abused her. She spoke out and was kicked out of the country. It’s retaliation & it’s wrong

Nazis openly organize on Elon Musk’s X platform and the Nazi fundraising outfit GiveSendGo to bail out a Nazi in Georgia who donned an SS uniform and assaulted a woman with a glass pitcher. www.jpost.com/diaspora/ant...

🫢 😳 😧 🤢 🤮 😡 I have an even worse feeling about THIS:

Team Newsom @governor.ca.gov is taking bold, concrete steps to reduce dependence on a chaotic federal health landscape. California is now producing its own insulin through CalRx, an innovative and timely model that leverages their purchasing power to reduce healthcare costs for Californians.

POV you’re still not married and your grandparents just found the nicest boy with a good job they want you to meet

It should go without saying that these mass internment camps will be much, much more expensive to operate than just giving the homeless free or subsidized housing would be.

He is so obviously mad and unfit it's just incredible there isn't a national conversation about his need to step down.

consider this part one of what will be an ongoing series making the case for an imperial congress (gift link)

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THAT IS A HIGHLY SOPHISTICATED INTELLIGENCE TEST THAT ONLY A HANDFUL OF PEOPLE IN RECORDED HUMAN HISTORY COULD PASS

i cannot believe that “mamdani calls a close adult relative an ‘aunt’ even if they are not literally their parent’s sister” is what counts as a “scandal” these days

“A Jackie Robinson moment… what an exciting opportunity…”

This is the third U.S. Attorney found to be unlawfully appointed. The other two are Sigal Chattah and Alina Habba. Their indictments stand because they were signed by other prosecutors. Not true for Lindsey Halligan.

I should’ve learned this by now but DO NOT use FedEx. The diseased monkeys I ordered haven’t arrived and I can’t get a straight answer on what happened to them

Elon Musk’s new competitor to Wikipedia says apartheid wasn’t that bad, cites the Kremlin, and gives legitimacy to “white-genocide theory.” Musk is constructing a parallel universe in his own image.

WATCH — @balint.house.gov (D): “There are $5-6 BILLION sitting in a contingency fund. Trump is choosing to let people go hungry. Instead he’s more than happy to send $40 BILLION to Argentina, letting his own people go hungry.” @RepTimBurchett @MarshaBlackburn

There are plenty of Democrats who want to play nice with Musk when the minimum Democratic policy on him should be to put him in a public dunk tank

I'm a hero. Transform 変身っ悪はちぃたんにお任せくださいっ☆

It feels like taxpayers are footing the bill for a dying tyrant’s wish list. A ballroom. A triumphal arch. A war in Venezuela. He’s got people lobbying for him to get a Nobel Prize for the COVID vaccines. No bequest for the American people in his dying days, though. We’re not important to him.

One of the most psychotic both-sides headlines I've ever seen

The words of a dictator.

it's not the law, but his decision to acknowledge the law, that is the highest authority here. trump isn't half as scary as how so many US institutions seem as though they'd be perfectly content with a dictator

BREAKING: A federal judge says L.A.-based US attorney Bill ESSAYLI has been acting in the role unlawfully since July, declaring him disqualified from the position. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

i was not at all anticipating this latest “28…Later” film to be a genuinely profound coming-of-age tale

This case underscores how SCOTUS made it impossible to hold immigration cops accountable for the abuses you see in all those videos. A federal task force cop manufactured evidence to put an innocent woman behind bars for two years. Because of SCOTUS-conferred immunity, the case never got to a jury.

Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming. Vital reporting from @ellenbarry.bsky.social and Jason DeParle:

This is so fucked up.

I hate when a candidate is a different religion. We should only have a government of fake christians

There is zero reason for anyone, especially reporters, to trust anything that comes out of this administration at any level. This is fantastic reporting.

A source familiar w/ internal workings at MasterCard notes the company does not plan to recruit additional call center workers for the Christmas season, as MasterCard does not expect higher call volume than usual. A resurgence of calls re censorship during the busy season would be huge strategically

Platner taking his campaign in a “they’re trying to get me” direction after the tattoo is a flashing, Fetterman-shaped warning light for what he could be like if elected, and I think it’s enlightening to see who can see that and who can’t because he’s “upsetting the right people”.

A writer tried dating alt-right men as an experiment to learn about them. There is so much going on here I don't even know where to start www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/love-sex/...

Scoop: The Trump admin's videos boasting triumphs on immigration have used misleading footage from months ago or thousands of miles away When we showed them the errors, DHS said they make a lot of videos and the White House said it'll keep making "banger memes" wapo.st/4nuDGwf

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

Y'all, as a kid who grew up food-insecure, plz don't do this. There is nothing more demoralizing as a little kid than being reminded of your family's poverty. We looked forward to Halloween bc it was the 1 chance to be like every other kid and get access to treats the food banks never gave out.

They all know how to play him. It isn’t difficult. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

X is a cesspit led by an unhinged billionaire who is desperately trying to stir up civil war in Britain. Nobody with any sense or decency should be there. No organisations, government departments, or politicians should be there. Everyone who is, is enabling this monster.

Do not be a doomer about this. Just call your New York friends and remind them to vote, and tell them to do the same. He is more popular and will win with good turnout.

Israel just launched a wave of strikes on Gaza, killing over 100 - including, reportedly, dozens of children… then declared the ceasefire is back on. They have killed over 200 since the “ceasefire” www.cnn.com/2025/10/28/m...

🩸🩸🩸 NEVER FORGET: Instead of honoring our Constitution's key principle of a Peaceful Transfer of Power, POS Donald Trump Abused his Power on Jan 6th by inciting this violent & deadly attack on our country's Capital and should be in prison for life 🩸🩸🩸

A Republic, if you can keep it.

Forget the polls. Take nothing for granted. And let's work our hearts out these next seven days. Vote now: zohranfornyc.com/vote Canvass + phonebank: zohranfornyc.com/gotv

"The judge then ordered Mr. Bovino to appear at the federal courthouse at the end of every weekday to personally provide her with a report on the day’s arrests and incidents..." !! www.nytimes.com/2025/10/28/u...

According to ICE’s own data, none of its officers have been killed by an immigrant in the agency’s history. The leading cause of death? Covid-19. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Before The Board Can Even Authorize Chump's $350 Million Ballroom, He FIRES THEM.......

thick or treat

The decline isn’t subtle anymore.

The Fed is meeting to set interest rates, and they’ll have to do it without a full picture of what’s really happening to workers and families. That’s reckless. Trump needs to release the jobs report now. Families deserve the facts about the economy, not more lies from Trump.

Politicians are not bystanders to the affordability crisis. We can lower the cost of living and make life easier for New Yorkers in real and meaningful ways.
