In about half an hour it'll be Monday October 12th 2026 in the central United States. As of this moment unprosecuted members of a child sex trafficking ring are still being protected by the United States government. MAGA and the GOP continue to enable this. Midterms are coming.

#ResistanceEarth Scientists can now estimate how much climate change contributes to a hurricane's wind speed. In the case of Hurricane Isaias, climate-warmed Gulf waters drove up wind speed by 6%. A 5% increase in wind speed results in 50% greater damage. yaleclimateconnections.org/2026/10/how-...

Stories like this have, for ages, treated men's desire to harm women as a sort of background noise, a weather we just normalize and accept and try to work around. Feminism is among other things a process of denormalization.

Love the line: "we are just better at accounting". Think about it like an American. Why is everyone so happy at “All You Can Eat Buffets” compared to regular restaurants where you pay by what you order? Because you don’t have to worry about the cost of what you’re eating, it’s all included!

When you're constantly just trying to keep the lights on and put food on the table, you don't have the time or energy to fight the system. Keeping people hanging on by a thread isn't a policy failure; it's how they keep us too tired to push back.

America puts Washington on money, not sitting presidents. Federal law says living presidents can’t appear on currency. Trump got his face minted anyway, sold in packs starting at $61. While you juggle rent and groceries, he spends your Treasury on a vanity project. #CostOfCorruption

Ron and Cassie DeSantis: These two crooks stole $10 million from a settlement with a charity, wired it to Cassie’s fake “charity,” laundered it through two puppet organizations, and then used it for political ads in an election year. They should be in jail.

There it is. While you struggle to afford groceries, or find any that are edible, and pay thousands more every year in gas, rent, utilities, childcare, and healthcare, they are laughing all the way to the bank.

Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Tesla paid just 4.9% of their profits in federal corporate taxes in 2025. They've seen their collective tax bill drop by $95B thanks to two rounds of Trump tax cuts. Meanwhile, tech layoffs in 2026 have already surpassed 2025. Trickle-down economics was always a scam.

Patriot Front came out of their moms’ basements, dusted off the Old Navy khakis, put on the white masks so they don’t get fired from their day jobs, and headed to Washington for America’s 250th birthday celebration. Four hundred self-described patriots, not one ounce of bravery.
