This is Thanos. He has figured out how to rest and babysit at the same time. Very impressive, very Montessori. 13/10 (TT: thanosthesaint)
If you enjoy… Weekends Safe working conditions Retirement benefits Paid vacations Breaks at work Sick leave Paid holidays … then you’re part of the labor movement. Happy Labor Day.
RFK Jr: “If you’ve ever compared an unvaccinated kid to a vaccinated kid… you see the bright eyes, the engagement, the social interactions, the curiosity. And you compare them to the child who even had one or two vaccines, and they’re completely different.“ This man is an existential threat.
Conservatism is a criminal ideology. Yes, even your 'moderate' family members. All conservatives are criminals and conservatism is the root cause for everything rotten with the world, if that includes you somehow, either get better, or do the world a favor and die in whatever manner suits you.
Let's give a shout out to the men & women who labor in the fields to put food on our tables. #WeFeedYou #LaborDay. Mandemosle un saludo a los hombres y mujeres que trabajan en el campo para poner comida en nuestras mesas. Thank you Ignacio Gomez for letting us use this art
We're doing this: www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news... "Hector, now detained at the Northwest ICE Detention Center in Tacoma, is unable to understand his own legal proceedings and is isolated from the few people who know how to communicate with him ..." 1/2
I know what you're saying, but I don't think this is what "we" are doing.
Pritzker: "We don't want troops on the streets of American cities. That's un-American and frankly the president ought to know better. This one doesn't seem to. He hasn't read any books. He doesn't seem to understand the Constitution or the laws."
This whole thing is great but the highlighted bit made me laugh out loud. 😂 Marlon on Snoop:
You left out the most important thing to know: RFK Jr was confirmed by the votes of 52 Republicans, including Cassidy. Not a single Democrat voted for the brain addled ghoul. That is the most impotent thing to know. Republicans own this; every illness, every death, every bit of it.
🚨Priest uses his body to attempt to stop ICE vehicles in Broadview, Illinois outside of a detention facility that has refused entry to members of Congress.
These have always been all of the documents I’ve needed to see to know the Pedo-President was guilty af! #SheShed #Pinks www.documentcloud.org/documents/31...
⚠️WOKE CONTENT⚠️ 🧵 The refusal of Jewish refugees by the United States primarily occurred during the 1930s and 1940s, particularly in the context of the Holocaust. Several key events and policies contributed to (cont) #ProudBlue #ResistanceRoots #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory
Fox News: RFK Jr. said that HHS would study whether antidepressants and other psychiatric drugs “might be contributing to violence." Blaming mental illness for gun violence, while defunding treatment for mental illness, is peak GOP hypocrisy. #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

This firefighter arrived in the US at age 4, has been here for 19 years, was on track to legal status, and was on a crew trying to contain a major blaze (in Washington state, vs Oregon, fwiw.) h/t @joshuajfriedman.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Leonard Leo used Fed Soc as a cover, in exactly the same way he used trump. Leo has his own agenda. Best evidence - Fed Soc whale Barre Seid gave Leo, not Fed Soc, $1.6 billion. These are Leo judges, not Fed Soc’s. @uofmass.bsky.social @umasspress.bsky.social www.rawstory.com/federalist-s...
Boycott Amazon. Sign the pledge: FreeDCProject.org/amazon.
why would we listen seriously to anybody who'd affix 'show' to their name. (Also, pls change your name, you embarrassment to my people!)
I've said this before, but every time I've gone back to the UK in the last 25 years I've been shocked by *some* sign of the atmosphere getting worse toward migrants, from government announcements to private attitudes. I'm hesitant to go back right now at all out of sadness at where we are.
Dear Americans, welcome to the thrilling game of ‘Did this dictator die or just disappear for a day?’ We’ve been playing it with Putin and Lukashenko for decades. Enjoy the suspense.
Republicans are trying desperately to consolidate power into a full-fledged dictatorship.
they'll blame themselves for being poor. truly.
California alone is the fourth largest economy in the world. Blue states can definitely do this. We can unite on many other issues as well.
get with the program. Nothing means anything now. (When things meant something was when they they were victimized by meaning!)
JUST IN: Judge Cobb has blocked the Trump administration’s effort to extend rapid-fire deportation procedures to immigrants who have been in the U.S. more than two years — warning that it is a flagrant deprivation of due process that could ensnare anyone. ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...
I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.
those jackets were the bomb for dorks! we sold them and couldn't keep them in stock.
km, not miles! pshaw.
Yesterday was the 11th anniversary of the biggest scandal of the Obama administration.
Edmonton Public Schools has decided that Margaret Atwood is too dangerous for youth to read. As is Brave New World. 1984 is banned by Grade 9s and younger. This is the MAGA machine of Danielle Smith in action. Perhaps a public book burning will reassure the base. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

"Like Monarez, O’Neill is not a physician" is a fascinating sentence. It seems like it might be relevant that Susan Monarez has a PhD (dissertation: "Macrophage regulation by trypanosome GIP-SVSG during trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense infection ") while Jim O'Neill is a venture capitalist with an MA.
“Denmark summoned the head of the U.S. Embassy … after allegations emerged that three Americans with close ties to President Trump were running ‘covert influence operations’ in Greenland.” Is there a Nobel prize for creating a conflict by threatening to seize the territory of a democratic ally?
They are so low.
The current regional EPA head in charge of cleanup is Scott Mason, a former Oklahoma energy official who "was also an author of the Project 2025 plan that called for ending certain pollution regulations, toxic chemical clean-up programs, and research on the impact of pollution on human health."
I mean for fucks sake, we look like an absolute colossal joke to the entire world. Mr heroin addict brain worm diagnosing children by their face. Holy shit.
NEW: More than two decades after victims and families of the 9/11 attacks began trying to hold the Saudi government responsible for aiding the Qaida terrorists who carried out the plot, a judge has ruled that a lawsuit against the kingdom can go to trial.
yep. vance doesn't give a shit about dominating the media or owning a nobel.
A months-long investigation estimates that the profits from the Trump family's ventures in private clubs, hotels, golf courses, crypto currencies, NFTs, and other businesses has raised President Trump’s net worth by billions of dollars.
It was clear two years ago that Project 2025 and Trump planned to drain all monies from everything but Criminal Justice, Immigration, National Security and the Military, and that those formerly separate pots would in fact be one pot aimed at controlling the American population via government force.
I will remind folks those images of Nazi book burnings aren't burning just any books. They're burning the library of Magnus Hirschfeld; a gay, Jewish doctor who created an institute dedicated to LGBTQ sex education and healthcare. And a man who pioneered gender affirming care surgeries.
🔥 @ninajankowicz.com to the European Parliament: "Before I describe the details of Russia's recent online influence campaigns, I would like to call upon you to stand firm against another autocracy: The United States of America."
The grifting and corruption is infinite at this point. Follow the money, right @hcrichardson.bsky.social ?
#ProudBlue #Voices4Victory Do you really want your tax dollars going to fund republican priorities? I sure as hell don’t. Enough.
clearly they weren't praying to not be shot.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey: “And don't just say, this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying….They were in a church. Action, not talk. Absolutely heartbreaking.” #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice
yep. The trumps of the world see taxpayers as marks, nothing more.
I’m devastated for the friends and families of these children #Pinks #ProudBlue

70 years ago, on this date, Emmett Till was kidnapped and brutally murdered by white men. His family, including his cousin who was with him at the time, is repeating the train ride he took from Chicago to Mississippi in 1955 to mark the anniversary
It's time to remove Robert F. Kennedy Jr from government before he kills us all

The Roadless Rule is one of our most important conservation safeguards, protecting forests from the bulldozer and chainsaw. The move to gut this protection is a handout to logging interests at the expense of clean water, wildlife, and local communities. www.rawstory.com/roadless-rule/

Flesh-eating bacteria cases surge as climate change destabilizes ecosystems. In Louisiana, tranquil fishing villages face dire threats, as rising temperatures and coastal erosion fuel this crisis. Humanity's disregard for the planet's health is a ticking time bomb.
Me: this is great, glad to see authors ripped off by AI getting their due. Me after using the search tool: I am one of these ripped off authors. Academics, it only takes a minute. Seven of my papers are in this and I had no idea.
"Honey, I don't have much time. I've been arrested by ICE and they are sending me to a detainment center. I love you and the kids, I will be OK, please call our attorney" -- John Shin, DACA resident, speaking to his wife last week. She hasn't heard from him since www.fox13now.com/news/local-n...
Did she have the audacity to express concern about her building being shot up and a security guard being murdered because of RFK Jr’s lies?
Ten Palestinians have died from starvation in last 24 hours, says Gaza health ministry
Quick question, is it bad when the dictator gets to decide who is a Jew? I’m not familiar with history, how does that usually work out for us?

I'm genuinely glad for Canada and this is a smart business play by Moderna but it also stings when you consider the Moderna vaccine exists because of $10 billion dollars of US taxpayer money. And RFK Jr. might kill our access.
The sheer contempt you must have for these people in order to call them away from their civilian jobs and lives to pick up trash around your house.

Sounds like East Germany in the 1980s.
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has declared that he will not be following the court order to shut down the so-called "Alligator Alcatraz." Apparently court orders are optional now if you're a member of the "Law and Order" party. www.rawstory.com/alligator-al...
Oh look, it's the thing every fascist government says about the opposition party before they dissolve them and turn the country into a one party state.
Trump’s DHS is telling Jewish institutions they must cooperate with ICE and ban Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives in order to receive grants to enhance security. Tell Congress: Jewish Americans will not be coerced into complicity.
🪳🌮🤡 we have audio of him saying he likes them as young as 12 years old. How can anyone look the other way. 🤮 Release the #EpsteinTrumpFiles m.youtube.com/shorts/RISMN...
To be fair, Europe does seem to understand the essence of Trump’s being. They speak directly to his soul, as seen here:
--The risk to people with mental health issues --The supercharging of the loneliness epidemic --The totally false medical information it extrudes --The cratering of Gen Z/Gen Alpha's literacy rates --The environmental impact of data farms
I didn't't learn this in history class www.usip.org/publications...
I can not stress to you how globally humiliating this statement by Trump is for the United States. His complete lack of understanding of, not just the basics of this issue but the extreme political ramifications of it, is a problem. This will not be shrugged off.
ALL of the other Federal Reserve members tonight should announce a press conference tomorrow morning at 10 am. They should STAND UP and say that if she is not reinstated immediately, they will ALL resign by 1 pm tomorrow.
First they took the disabled That began the destruction of Germany around 90 years ago Pay attention America He wants to do that to us! Stand up to him before it's your children, friends etc.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s fight is our fight. Trump’s regime uses deportation as a weapon to punish dissent & terrorize families. If they come for one, they come for all. Stand up, speak out, resist. #FreeKilmar #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory
