Trump started a stupid & illegal war in Iran that has driven up diesel prices. Now he wants to bankroll Putin's illegal war against Ukraine by buying diesel from him. One strategic disaster after the next. www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

Trump lifts sanctions on Russian diesel, suggests US may buy amid surging fuel prices

The move comes weeks ahead of the midterm elections.

In any case, it's a disgrace for US foreign policy. Sanctions on Russia should be strengthened, not weakened.

I appreciate Abdul clapping back at racist turd-pigeon Donald Trump again using the middle name of a Democratic politician as an Islamophobic attack, but I want to remind Abdul that, as we learned from Randy Rainbow, Trump's own middle name is not John but Jessica

Troy Jackson: "The gentleman's name was Johan Sebastian Guerrero. He had a 3 year old daughter. The only mistake he made that morning was going to work. Because Sen. Collins is not willing to stand up to Donald Trump, he was murdered in the streets of Biddeford for doing nothing wrong."

Sartre:

Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The antiSemites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

Is it really too much to ask to have even ONE Trump administration official go to prison for Bribery? Really? One of the only crimes enumerated in the Constitution, and we just don't enforce it? Even when we pay these people to serve us and they OPENLY serve themselves? Why are they not behind bars?

Sometimes my wife and I like to send each other text messages as though they’re democratic fundraising messages, and I believe she has produced the jewel of the form.

, it's
and I
have some personal news to share with you.
Being a mom is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I feel deeply that we should have salad tonight
This year has been challenging in many ways, and I have immense gratitude for the kindness and support of family, community, and people like you who have continued to stand by me through everything. It means the world, and I wanted you to be among the first to know that squash is in the oven and kale is in the fridge.

As many of you are aware, ve been navigating one of the most challenging periods of my day while waiting for dinner.
Facing baseless federal hunger brought on by not eating since lunch, fighting for the working kids of this country, and now caring for a mean toddler and helping him grow up in a world that isn't always easy. But it has also reminded me exactly why I do this work and who I do it for.
I will never stop working to eat dinner. I will never stop fighting for what is right, even when there is also some feta in the fridge. And I will never stop being so very thankful that you are by my side in this important work and that there is tahini in the pantry for dressing
With love and gratitude,
stop to end

Fuck yeah, Turnverein ruled “Hey you wanna lift heavy weights and discuss liberalism and human rights?” “Hell yeah brother” Turners formed some of the very first and oldest gyms in the US when they arrived after the Revolutions of 1848. That’s right, gym culture belongs to intellectual lefties

This 3 minute story is probably more informative and substantive than any comparable length segment on the network news broadcasts over the last month. It's not sensationalized but still conveys the gravity of the situation.
