"We seethe over the betrayal by a supposedly democratic society that quickly averts its collective eyes and allows predators ... to get away with it and reinvent themselves right in front of our eyes as we’re punished if we speak out about our basic rights to survival and safety," Donna Ladd wrote.

The Dodgers and Blue Jays have each won 27 innings in the Series, but somehow the Blue Jays have a 3-2 lead. Fucking tariffs, man.

Please remember PM Carney is playing 3D chess with a narcissistic sociopath in AmeriKKKa.
Keeping Canada moving forward in an increasingly unpredictable future -where fascism is raising it's ugly face everywhere in the world -is NO small task.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.
I am not fearful — I am fearless.
We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

NEW: Comey is going to file selective and vindictive prosecution motion to dismiss AND he will challenge the legality of Halligan’s appointment! There’s more, too… so glad @annabower.bsky.social is there to bring us the whole story! Thread below with details:
The judge also set an initial schedule for pre-trial motions.
The first set is expected by Oct. 12. Per Comey’s defense counsel, that batch will include motions to dismiss for selective and vindictive prosecution, as well as a motion challenging the legality of Halligan’s appointment as US attorney

Colbert has zero fuxx left to give, and is poking the hornet's
nest with a battering ram. And I'm sure DUMP is *seething*
over this and will demand that CBS yanks Colbert off the air
NOW. So share this today for #TeamJimmy and #Colbert! ✊

While fascists organise on our streets and this Labour government rips away what’s left of the social safety net, there is still a genocide happening in Gaza.
A genocide which our government is aiding in.
The world knows this isn’t right. Even at the Emmys.

honestly if this is really a watershed moment, or fork in the road, or moment of anagnorisis for the country, the thing that I think has actually been not so much revealed as *resolved* is the extent to which legacy media is incapable of and uninterested in serving public interest in this moment
