One of the most disconcerting moments of living in this timeline of the world in the U.S. is that A LOT of people in this country keep acting like there's a special line that needs to be crossed for fascism to *arrive.* The reality is that we are CURRENTLY living under Federal fascism. NOW.

I ask again, why are national Dems letting Elon "quietly" fund these races? We have two test cases. 2024 when Dems didn't make his money an issue. And 2025 Wisconsin, where they did. Guess which time they won by double digits?

Elon Musk’s America PAC Is Quietly Funding November’s Most Consequential Elections
America PAC’s approach has been unusual: for every dollar it has spent supporting GOP Senate candidates, it has spent almost three dollars attacking Democrats.

It is actually bad for Palestinians that Hamas disrupted Israeli-Arab normalization, and the way you can tell is that Hamas, who does not actually give a shit about Palestinians, launched the 10/7 attack specifically to do so and thereby retain power over Palestinians. It is tragedy compounded!

It's actually really easy to say that Israeli civilians didn't deserve to die because of the actions of their government prior to 10/7 just like Palestinian civilians don't deserve to to die because of the actions of their government on 10/7.

Made this point about Ossoff before: he's in no way tailoring his messaging to appeal to Donald Trump voters, and yet he has a comfortable lead in a state Donald Trump won in 2024 and he has GOP endorsements. The idea that Democrats need to fixate on Donald Trump voters in order to win is a myth.

Today, we honor the innocent people murdered and families forever changed by the Hamas terrorist attacks in Israel three years ago.   Let us pray for lasting peace, and continue working together to combat hate and violence in all their forms.

I was robbed of the chance to mourn 10/7, not only by Israel’s fascist government, who waged a (predictably) indefensible war of vengeance and extermination against the people of Gaza, but also by the Western left, who celebrated, endorsed, and justified Hamas’s mass murder

Three years later, the horror of October 7 still weighs heavily on our hearts. We remember every life taken by Hamas, the survivors and families forever changed, and Jewish communities in Massachusetts and around the world who continue to carry the pain of that day.

Today marks the solemn anniversary of a horrific act of terror that led to the deaths of at least 1,200 Israelis and the brutal captivity of an additional 251 victims. October 7, 2023 was the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust. It is one that we must always remember. 1/3

Three years ago an attack from Gaza killed 1200 Israelis and foreign residents, including those in 21 Israeli communities and participants in the Nova Music Festival. 251 people were taken hostage, and many rapes and sexual assaults were committed.

What is Hosha'na Rabba? A thread of indeterminate length. Before we begin, a forewarning: I would like to avoid being the XKCD expert familiarity guy, so if there is anything I bring up which you do not understand and would like to, feel free to ask. It's a weird day with a lot going on
"Hoshana Rabba is second nature to us liturgists, so it's easy to forget that the average person probably only knows Kol Mevasser and the Yamim Noraim additions."
"And cabbage, of course."
"Of course."

Even when they're trying to compensate for it, experts in anything wildly overestimate the average person's familiarity with their field.

If the baseline argument is young men are just unevolved gorillas, which is what the defense of those men boils down to, why aren't more men offended at being likened to animals. You're cool with that? You're SELF LABELING with that? Okay. Why are unevolved gorillas in charge and not in zoos.

Just a reminder that people don’t always realize they were raped in the immediate aftermath. It can take hours, days, months, and even years to realize you were raped, and it doesn’t make it any less true. There are many kinds of responses, including fawning and trying to appease your rapist

APStylebook @APStylebook

Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.

This abused trans child is being used by Fox News as an opportunity to expand abuse of trans children. Like so many abusive parents of trans kids, these parents are exploiting the Republican culture war to further their abuse. www.wbur.org/news/2026/09...
Joseph Kutzko was accused of punching and threatening his then-15-year-old child at the family home on Jan. 28, 2025, records from Westborough District Court show. A Southborough police detective wrote that Kutzko punched the victim in the shoulder and pulled them by their hair. Kutzko later allegedly threatened to kill the victim “for not singing in tune during a birthday celebration,” according to court records.

Kutzko was arrested the next day and pleaded not guilty. In setting bail, the judge referred to three prior restraining orders against Kutzko, one of which is permanent. She did not say whether any are tied to this case.

The child’s mother, Arlene Kutzko, was charged with witness intimidation after allegedly pressuring the child to “tell the school that she was exaggerating and being stupid.”

“Arlene stated that if you solve this tomorrow everything will be okay and we will not get angry,” the detective wrote.

The case, filed Tuesday, argues that Texas’ near-total abortion ban violates the state and U.S. Constitutions, which “prohibit state actors from killing their citizens.”
