The United States is now officially allied with Vladimir Putin and Russia. We will fund Russia’s genocidal war machine in exchange for Putin helping Trump and the Republican Party in the midterms. One of the most shameful and disgusting days in the history of this Republic.

Ossoff: "I think Pete Hegseth is frankly a deeply unwell person who seems to relish this kind of brutality all the while he's running a department that is falling into chaos. The guy cannot run the military competently and is spending his time with this kind of obscene medieval spectacle."

a big part of ossoff's rhetorical success is it doesnt contain the compromise and caveats that are a baked-in part of democratic party rhetoric. theres no pretending that his opponent is just misguided or will be pulled back from the edge by "the good republicans." ossoff is saying "fuck this guy"

It's a generational thing. Ossoff was 14 on 9/11, his entire political life has been defined by Republicans only ever getting more extreme, more corrupt, more racist, more violent. That's why his attitude towards them is so refreshing to Democrats born after 1980. He's reflecting how we ALL feel.

City governments are going to have to be both creative and bold when it comes to resisting ICE and the most obvious place to start here is pulling all, all, all NYPD cooperation, even incidental, with ICE. Let them do their own crowd control and traffic management.

a lot of people are replying with 'what are you going to do about it,' and while every level of government could do more, the powers the *DC City Council* has in this situation are comparatively limited. This isn't just voter intimidation, but an argument for statehood for the District of Columbia.

51 Americans spent more than $10 mil each on political donations in the 2024 election alone and DSA has won the mayor of NYC and an increasing # of Congressional seats since then. Seems like somebody would drop them $5 mil once in a while! If you are rich this is a good idea.

Most interesting part of this story is DSA has only $4.7 mil in assets meaning that a large gift could do an incredibly outsized amount of good, as opposed to donating that money to Democrats. Surprising to me no rich Hollywood lefties are writing big checks to DSA. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/09/n...

This by Courtney Maum is where I am too. I am grateful to her for the words...

For me, the subject of AI detection is an ouroboros. I’ll speak only for myself, here is my opinion. I didn’t ask for artificial intelligence. It’s not something I need, it is not something I desire. And yet, it barged its way into my life and stole all of my books. All of them. Stole them. Trained off of them. Did not compensate me for this theft. So now, AI can write a book like me, because it stole my own work and learned my breed of humor and satire. So if someone runs an AI text detector on my creative output, it will probably “test positive” why? Because AI is a contaminant that has embedded itself into my work by stealing it and using my own work to perpetuate itself. It will test for itself and find AI there because it AI is a virus that has contaminated the DNA of my current and future writing—a form of intellectual rape. A kind of colonization. A raging plague that some gatekeepers are opening the door for.

If you ask me what I’m currently working on, the answer is nothing book-length. I’m not going to publish a new book in this current landscape. That’s a stance of privilege, I recognize that. And I can’t hold this stance forever, I can hold it as long as I have savings from my last book.

This current literary climate isn’t acceptable. It is not acceptable to have a thing thrust upon us that takes absolutely everything, and then be forced to prove that we are not the thieves.
