Happy October, friends!

Some years back I made a 31-paper-figure set for a little pumpkin village. You can download and print the set for free if you're inclined to decorate:

i have been with more patients than i can count at the end of their life in the icu and the goal has been to make them as comfortable as possible and to imagine someone struggling to breathe as the state attempts to execute them makes me physically ill

This is the 59th death in ICE detention since Trump took office.
Another person has died in Trump's concentration camps. 47-year-old Julian Curo-Churata was from Peru. He died on Sept. 29 after he was imprisoned for three months in Richwood Correctional Center in Louisiana. That camp is run by LaSalle Corrections. There's no cause of death listed.

🚨 BREAKING: Texas Rep. Gina Hinojosa has filed an official request to inspect unredacted communications between Gov. Greg Abbott’s office and Elon Musk after roughly 1,400 pages released last year were heavily redacted as “intimate and embarrassing.”

Here's the thing: The New York Times report this ad was based off said that Marshall had patients arrested for owing as little as $114 *total.*

They can try to pull the 'this pregnant mom was no angel' if she were the only person he'd had arrested but there are dozens more such cases.
2. The ad "frames" the arrest on the $50 instead of her "total" debts to Marshall...of $3,600 at 18% interest.

Holy crap. Marshall was charging her 18% INTEREST???

Yeah, I'd call that "preying on low-income families."

"Does the rationalist movement have a misogyny problem?" is a question with a pretty clear answer. Just look at what Yud's willing to say out loud.

I try to keep my mouth shut whenever Bernie does something shady, but … godDAMN this old man makes it really fucking hard.
I regret to inform you all that Bernie Sanders is in fact taking meetings with noted rationalist wacko Eliezer Yudkowsky over what AI regulations should look like.

the Trump admin just made its 40th application to the Supreme Court for emergency relief, since January 2025

for comparison, the George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden admins made a combined total of 25 shadow docket applications over the course of 20 years

NEW: A Texas woman died after being denied an abortion and her family sued the state and her doctors for violating her right to life. They say the ban should be struck down.

It's one of several cases challenging abortion laws under state constitutional rights to life and liberty @autonomynews.co
New Lawsuits Argue That Pregnant People Also Have a Right to Life
Lawyers are fighting abortion bans in state court by establishing that pregnant people have a right to life and liberty—or at least self-defense.

There was no “retreat.” Christian nationalists have spent decades trying to take over Hollywood, media, universities and public education.

They didn’t voluntarily surrender that ground.

Their attempts to impose a “biblical” worldview have been rejected.

The next fault line is Israel-Palestine for the Democrats, but for the country at large, is if the public can internalize this is not a “Bibi issue” but the entire nation is waging genocide and whether politicians will admit this in statement & policy
