Of all the sick and twisted things people in this administration have done, this is the most chilling. Had enough yet?

I can think of a lot of my friends and neighbors here in Chicago who would actively campaign against him. I definitely would.

Yeah, supporting that wacko theory in 2000 was a stupid thing for them to do. By 2003 they had removed that info from their website. Mostly they support good causes, though.

This is shameful. Chicago people, if your Alder didn't show up, consider expressing displeasure to them. Council Hearing On City Domestic Violence Program Canceled After Not Enough Alders Show Up blockclubchicago.org/2026/10/01/c...

Council Hearing On City Domestic Violence Program Canceled After Not Enough Alders Show Up
Only eight alderpeople showed up to a hearing Thursday about the city's victim services program, one short of the number needed for a quorum. One survivor called the cancellation a "travesty."

If you are that much of a jerk over something as inconsequential as a beverage, you'd be a nightmare to work with anyway.

So relieved to see all the TV stations in the White House press pool sticking together www.ms.now/news/white-h...

White House pool suspends TV coverage of Trump after CNN ban
The extraordinary move came days after the president said he was banning the network, MS NOW and Politico from the White House.

Whenever a new magazine arrives I put stickers over any faces that we would prefer not to look at. Every once in a while the random sticker I grab turns out to be an excellent editorial comment. This one is from @wtfjht.bsky.social.

I hate it with the fire of a thousand suns but the fact is we have to nominate a straight white male for 2028. The bigotry is just too pervasive in this era. That said, I do believe that someday Pete will be president and a good one.

I’ve replaced the word “regulations” with the phrase “consumer protections” because that’s what most regulations are.

Thanks for the song! My brain just time traveled to hearing The Menzingers play this at Riot Fest a couple of years ago.

He's definitely positioning himself to run, and I think worth considering. His grasp of detail and self contained delivery is almost as good as Pete Buttigieg. We're going to have to run a straight, white male because this country is still incredibly prejudiced.

Serious consequences as a deterrent to future abuses of power and this rampant lawlessness will be an essential component of saving our democracy.

Air quality is really bad here in Chicago. Even with all windows closed, AC on, and air filters in multiple rooms of the house, my throat hurts and I can smell the smoke. Dangerous.

They all say they talked to Mitch for 20 minutes. They are not even savvy enough to adapt the talking points they were given to guide their lies.

That was incredibly good information. I posted that in Angry’s Patreon group chat a few days ago.

And they endorsed someone so obscure I can’t even remember his name rather than endorse Hilary Clinton in that election.

An anti-doping expert focused on dietary supplements, Oliver Catlin from BSCG, has been raising the alarm about this for months. He's deeply concerned that these unapproved new drugs with grossly inadequate safety data are going to be made legal.

Seeing this in an international professional group I'm involved in that has nothing to do with politics. No one trusts the US members now. That makes it impossible to find consensus on programs and make any progress.

Yes, and she would be a fantastic president. But why would she put herself and her family through that? The Obamas have already served the country so much.

I long for the days when politicians didn't outright lie on easily disproved issues because they would face consequences if they did.

Fleets of helicopters hovered over our Chicago neighborhood at all hours last summer & fall. Making us feel oppressed and terrorized was definitely the goal. But it also pissed us off.

I'm so sorry. I don't think we ever quite get used to losing our canine family members. I lost Atticus 1/15/25 and still feel his absence deeply.

I played this in a DJ set two days ago and it’s been on repeat in my weird music brain ever since. Fantastic song.

The same is true of Angry's Patreon chats, and you get more of them.

I'm in Angry's Patreon group where this question has come up before. He said ask yourself if a Russian agent would be doing anything differently than he is? The answer is pretty clear.

He’s treating his 2nd term as a total cash grab in every way possible.

Fascinating article on Opus Dei, including their impact on US politics, in the @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...
theguardian.com
He spent years investigating Opus Dei, a Catholic group accused of a vast conspiracy of abuse. Then Pope Leo asked to meet
Gareth Gore’s 2024 book Opus alleges decades of manipulation, which the group has denied. He believes the pope wanted to send a clear message

In Chicago ICE spent months terrorizing us. On top of tear gassing families and randomly detaining immigrants and citizens alike, helicopters hovered over neighborhoods at all hours of the day & night, which felt oppressive and threatening. This is not the America I know and love.

You are right @bouldervoter.bsky.social. Voters left Jeffries with no actual power, and yet expect him to have power? Political dilettantes are a problem.

I hope his family gets him the help he so clearly needs.
