It's not just executing him that makes him a martyr. the live-streaming itself does. You know what this will do? Incite more attacks. Brilliant, Hegseth.

Just a reminder that its been 323 days since a bipartisan bill requiring the DOJ to publicize unredacted Epstein files within 30 days passed the House 427–1 and the Senate unanimously. And we still haven't seen them.

The brains of conservatives are structured so that they are particularly sensitive to unpleasant words, images, and sounds. Trump very strategically uses words like "infestation," "garbage," etc. He's strengthening the worst part of them.

Trump announces plans to build a retreat like Camp David at one of his narcissistic gold clubs. Basically, we have a president whose sole interest Iies in interior decorating.

No, it just shows that the president is a misogynist prick. It says nothing about rape culture in America.

It would be crappy of him if he did it for the wrong reasons. But it still gave her joy and a sense of value. That's a lot.

Just fyi, dental and vision aren't included in most "medicare for all"/socialist medicine packages, either (or if it does, it's usually for about 60 percent or so).

names like "Low-T JD" may sound cute, but they're no different from the kinds of infantile name-calling no one tolerates from Trump. It's not cute. It's back to the same crap about being a "real" man, and masculinity as the win. Polls show El-Sayed is trending with Trumpers, and now I see why.

Ubermacho men married to the patriarchy always have a fascination with the military. Ditto men who beat and abuse women. Trump is both.

Before the election, Trump said he could end the Ukraine war in a day. When pressed as to how he would do it, he said, elect me & find out. We found out. He had no plan. Let that be a lesson. If a politician running for office won't divulge their plans, they don't have any.

Yes. American health care saved his life. Good thing he was in the US when it happened. People - be careful what you wish for.

Hope not. We need everyone on our side of the aisle to get the fuck over themselves and realize that we’re all on the same side here. Eyes on the prize. This election is too important to lose over ANY sort of purity test.

Out of curiosity, was Mamdani responsible for the past 13 years of dance party events every week in May also at Bryant Park?

Abigail Esman @abigailesman.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Oh, right. it's Mamdani who got them to go out and dance. The fact that every other mayor we've ever had did the same thing means nothing, because he's god. you're in a cult.

Here we go again. This has been a tradition for a while. It has nothing to do with Mamdani. Can we stop treating him like some kind of god? The cult is out of control.

All he did was add the number of apartments. New York doesn't need more environmentally destructive towers. It was a bad idea then and it's a worse idea now.

Every stitch tells a story of love, community, and remembrance. Volunteers across MN created the "Stolen Neighbors Quilt" with 11,000 squares to honor Minnesotans detained by ICE. Each fabric square represents a neighbor, a family member, and a life impacted by deportation. We stand for Justice!

Zelensky rejected another appeal from Trump to meet Putin in Moscow, Bloomberg reports. "People familiar with the Ukrainian president’s position said Trump raising the issue upset him." Asked later when he would go to Moscow, Zelensky replied: “On a fucking missile.”

Sorry, but I don't think this is something to joke about. He's planning to have snipers and drones in the middle of Washington, DC, with direct access to the area of the White House, where he is building himself a bunker, and where he thinks he will live for the rest of his days. That ain't funny.
