It wasn’t a peace plan. It was a surrender plan.
A tweet from “Alex Cole” reads: “Trump: I would like a ceasefire. Putin: No, you would not like a ceasefire. Trump: Correct. I would not like a ceasefire.” Below is a tweet from “The Bulwark” quoting Sen. Mark Warner criticizing a peace plan taken from Russian sources with no consultation of allies.

One of my favorite things is getting to tell friends who are new to NYC that the subway "stand clear of the closing doors please" voice is a trans woman named Bernie Wagenblast and she's amazing.

Robert Reich is exactly right - and Fair Share America's leadership was instrumental in passing the Massachusetts Millionaire's Tax.

We need to do this in all 50 states.

If Trump truly didn't care, he wouldn’t sound this desperate.
Screenshot of a social post by Donald J. Trump that says: 'As I said on Friday night aboard Air Force One to the Fake News Media, House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide, and it’s time to move on from this Democrat Hoax perpetrated by Radical Left Lunatics in order to deflect from the Great Success of the Republican Party, including our recent Victory on the Democrat “Shutdown.” The Department of Justice has already turned over tens of thousands of pages to the Public on “Epstein,” are looking at various Democrat operatives (Bill Clinton, Reid Hoffman, Larry Summers, etc.) and their relationship to Epstein, and the House Oversight Committee can have whatever they are legally entitled to, I DON’T CARE! All I do care about is that Republicans get BACK ON POINT, which is the Economy, “Affordability” (where we are winning BIG!), our Victory on reducing Inflation from the highest level in History to practically nothing, bringing down prices for the American People, delivering Historic Tax Cuts, gaining Trillions of Dollars of Investment into America (A RECORD!), the rebuilding of our Military, securing our Border, deporting Criminal Illegal Aliens, ending Men in Women’s Sports, stopping Transgender for Everyone, and so much more! Nobody cared about Jeffrey Epstein when he was alive and, if the Democrats had anything, they would have released it before our Landslide Election Victory. Some “members” of the Republican Party are being “used,” and we can’t let that happen. Let’s start talking about the Republican Party’s Record Setting Achievements, and not fall into the Epstein “TRAP,” which is actually a curse on the Democrats, not us. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!'

So, that’s a yes.
The image is a tweet from Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) that reads: “Q: Massie says he's concerned that the Epstein probe you're calling for could be a smokescreen to block the release of more files. Is that the case? TRUMP: I don't want to talk about it because fake news like you — you're a terrible reporter — they just keep bringing that up to deflect from the tremendous success of the Trump administration.” Below the text is a screenshot from a Fox News broadcast showing Donald Trump speaking to reporters outdoors at night. The chyron reads: “BREAKING NEWS — NOW: PRESIDENT TRUMP SPEAKING TO REPORTERS” and the location marker says: “PALM BEACH INT’L AIRPORT LIVE 6:50 PM ET.”

Our presidents should serve all the states, not just the ones that voted for them.
Tweet by Michael A. Cohen that says Trump denied disaster relief for blue states and approved it for red states, accusing him of rewarding supporters. He adds that in a democracy, Trump would be impeached for it. Below is a WGN News link titled “Trump denies disaster declaration for Illinois.”

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.
STEREOGUM: People my age, we talk about how we were lucky that we didn’t have social media growing up, and there’s no record of all the dumb shit we said and did. You didn’t have social media, but everything you said and did in those years is on record, and you’ve got to live with it now. That’s tough. VIOLENT J: And the amount of gay Juggalos out there is really surprising. I think about them doing their research and getting the old records, getting excited about it, and getting their hearts broke or something, you know? I tell my daughter, “For the rest of your life, when your friends ask why your dad said that, say it’s because your dad was a fool. Don’t defend me. Say I was a fool then, but I’m not now.” There’s no excuse. I was going with the flow, and that’s the very thing we preach against — being a sheep. And that’s what I was doing. https://www.stereogum.com/2083804/icp-interview-juggalos/interviews/weve-got-a-file-on-you/

Thank you to the millions of you across the country for keeping the protests peaceful and for demonstrating that we love the American ideals of democracy, equality, and freedom.
A tweet from Kaivan Shroff reads: “An entirely peaceful protest in the largest city in the country. 0 arrests. There goes that MAGA talking point.” Below, a retweeted post from NYPD News states: “The majority of the No Kings protests have dispersed at this time and all traffic closures have been lifted. We had more than 100,000 people across all five…” The post highlights that the large-scale “No Kings” protests in New York City ended peacefully without any arrests.

They are trying to normalize cruelty and violence. We cannot allow it.
A tweet from Alison Cook reads: “The kids are alright.” The attached photo shows a young woman sitting on public transit holding a protest sign. The sign reads: “WHEN CRUELTY BECOMES NORMAL, COMPASSION LOOKS RADICAL,” with the words “CRUELTY” and “COMPASSION” written in red and the rest in black. Sunlight streams through the train windows, showing a brick building and blue sky outside.

Congress continues to fail to check Trump’s authoritarian power.
Screenshot of a tweet from Spencer Hakimian (@SpencerHakimian) reporting that the Senate rejected a measure to stop Trump from unilaterally striking Venezuelan boats, with a vote of 48–51. The tweet adds that Fetterman voted no, and Rand Paul and Lisa Murkowski voted yes. The attached photo shows senators on the Senate floor during the roll call vote, with a caption bar reading: ‘Motion to Discharge S.J. Res. 83…’

Transitioning later in life is about more than gender.

It’s about reclaiming possibility.

It shows us that you can always begin again, you can always choose yourself, and you can always inspire others just by being real.

Even Grok knows the truth and is shouting it in ALL CAPS.
Photo of two X posts. The first post by S.V. Date (@svdate ) reads: "Looks like Elon's mascot has had it with her." The second post by Grok (@grok ) from 06:07 on 10/1/25 with 13K views states: "NO, KAROLINE LEAVITT IS NOT TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT DEMOCRATS DEMANDING FREE HEALTHCARE FOR ILLEGALS. Democrats are seeking to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies for U.S. citizens and lawfully present immigrants, which are set to expire, and to reverse recent Medicaid cuts that affect low-income Americans, without expanding coverage to unauthorized immigrants who remain ineligible for these federal programs." The post includes a profile picture, verification badge, and engagement metrics (14 comments, 83 retweets, 522 likes, 21 bookmarks).

An assault upon a residential apartment complex in Chicago, with ICE and other federal officials brazenly violating the Fourth Amendment rights of U.S. citizens, is something that should alarm us all. But it’s also part of a pattern that we already know how to resist. My write-up in the replies.

a tweet by Dana Gould @danagould that says: Thinking about Rush Limbaugh and how, now that he's dead, you never, ever hear about him. No one mentions anything he did. Because what he did had no value. It contributed nothing worthwhile to the culture. Nothing of lasting value. He just made anger. Every day. Rising, blooming & fading like a fart. Then he died & was instantly replaced by a fleet of little replicas, farting fake fury five days a week. Creating nothing of interest or artistic value to anyone. Seriously, what an awful way to make a living.

Sure. Left wing terrorism is at an all time high, going from 3% of domestic terror fatalities to 4%. Right wing terrorism on the other hand has dipped to an all time low of 95%

So technically, yeah.

It is important to see this sort of straight talking, precisely because of the executive order last week that conflated criticism of the government with terrorism.

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"
