America, they are trying to desensitize you to violence. They want us to dehumanize one another so we become numb to their attacks on our liberty. They wish to normalize total state control thru visual terror. Attention is currency. Don’t invest it in evil. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Senator Collins said she was going to get ICE out of Maine, but she has failed to do that. Even further, she handed over $70 billion to ICE without guardrails or accountability. And Maine paid the price.

The only face-to-face meeting in the Colorado Gov's race was both odd and unsurprising. The questions and one candidate's answers were scripted in advance. Voters hoping to finally learn what Republican Victor Marx knows and believes only learned that he knows how to read.

This is Nazi rhetoric, full stop. It's not only a call to instigate a race war in the United States, but it's reminiscent of historic European justifications used to incite pogroms against Jews. People who say things like this are incredibly dangerous, as there is nothing they won't eventually do.

Ossoff is definitely not listening to Yglesias/Klein/PodSave reactionary centrist crowd, he does not think his marginal voter is a white-supremacist, and that is what makes him such an attractive candidate to the vast majority of US who are not white-supremacists.

The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants. There is Violence, Murder, and Mayhem all over the State. The people of Minnesota must fight back. You have been robbed, and abandoned by your State Government. Your Governor is an incompetent thief who doesn't want to get involved. He just wants to get out of town with as much as he can steal, and then, lead a quiet life. The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back! If you need, the Federal Government will come to your rescue.
Governor Tim Walz, and Mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, must immediately ask for Federal help - and leave the rest to us!
President DONALD J. TRUMP

Just to be clear: we are fine in Minnesota. We are not being taken over, though there are more rabbits in our yard than some years. Also we still need to address creeping bellflower. But otherwise all good. Don’t need rescuing or another murderous occupation.

Great @cprnews.bsky.social piece examining where GOP Gov candidate Victor Marx is spending his huge fundraising haul. Makes a lot of sense if you subscribe to the idea that Marx is paying out friends/family and building an email list, rather than trying to win. www.cpr.org/2026/10/08/v...
cpr.org
Victor Marx’s spending is as unusual as the rest of his campaign
The Republican candidate for Colorado governor has focused his cash on raising more cash, while minimizing traditional spending.

Ossoff: I never want to hear these two pretend they give a damn about working people again. Because while hundreds of thousands of Georgians lose their health care, Mike Collins builds Trump a ballroom. They worked harder burying the Epstein files than they ever did lowering your grocery bill.

Strike a pose. #BirdOfTheDay #BirdSupermodel 📷🌿🪶
A photo of a female belted kingfisher (Megaceryle alcyon) perched on top of a weathered wooden piling rising from pale blue-gray water. It has a slate-blue back and head with a shaggy crest that sweeps back from its face, looking effortlessly casual and cool, along with a bright white collar and a rusty-orange band across its belly.  Its heavy dark bill points slightly downward while its tail curves up and back in a delicate pose. Very elegant. The piling is encrusted with barnacles and patches of bright green algae, with strands of brown rockweed and long ribbons of seagrass hanging from its sides. The lighting is diffuse on a cloudy day.

This is an important statement people, and especially elected Dems need to really understand. The current Republican project is one of destruction, by design. Yes, they have other goals, in RFK’s case he’s objectively pro-disease, but their primary metric of success is breaking government.
