Wanting to post about movies, tv, sw dev, food, travel... instead, frantically re/posting about the political crisis. Proud Dem. Harris should have won! DEI/A are virtues.

Illinois Gov. Pritzker ahead of Trump National Guard deployment: "To Chicagoans... Look out for your communities and your neighbours. Know your rights. Film things that you see happening... Authoritarians thrive on your silence. Be loud for America."
bsky.app/profile/comr... PLEASE LET ME EXIT HISTORY. PLEASE LET ME OUT
Pritzker: "We've gathered information from unauthorized, patriotic officials inside the government and from-sourced reporters about Donald Trump's plan, which is to deploy armed military personnel to the streets of Chicago."

the largest city in the wealthiest nation in human history canโt pay their paramedics enough to keep them from killing themselves.
the spread information not panic bit at the bottom is a good bit of business if anyone else is out there designing flyers for something similar to this
Long shot, but Portland friends if you know anything about this, please let me know. We are trying to find this man.
Elon's entire thing is manipulating public perception. He literally sells "Full Self-Driving" that isn't actually self-driving, and has gotten away with it for years. That's not being good at technology, that is being good at manipulating public perception.
Also, a few good days do not a healthy person make.
Great lead headline right now, @nytimes.com.

Rep. Maxwell Frost (D -FL10) today gave YouTuber and streamer IShowSpeed a U.S. Capitol tour. Frost repeatedly mentioned vote.gov and how important it is that young people register to vote. Speed has +43M YouTube subscribers, 41M followers on TikTok and 39,8M on instagram.

Good news about the cutting-edge AI tools from the $3-trillion-dollar company.
Scenes of chaos play out in Gaza City as military closes in on panic-stricken residents facing forced displacement.
Foreign-funded white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and affiliated criminal groups orchestrated a series of anti-immigration rallies across Australia under the banner โMarch for Australia.โ
This is such madness.
white houses only do this when they're very distressed
To be honest, if I knew the whole world was watching and speculating about the president being about to snuff it, I, too, would probably throw random black bags out the window of the White House just to fuck with everyone. But I'm a terrible person.
I love this guy

Omg, is this current? I thought this must be ancient history until I saw the word, "podcast".
Nine former CDC directors basically said RFK Jr is a threat to public health.
One thing theyโve been very successful at is making it so when sober experts put their careers and reputations on the line to issue grave warnings, it gets mostly a shrug.
Death toll for the Afghanistan earthquake has now risen to 1100.
Love that San Diego energy!! Love from the Bay Area!
Donald Trump wanted to be remembered in the same way we remember FDR and JFK.
That's SO wrong! Lol

Prob a weird choice, but I'm obsessive about Orange Crush. There's something special about it for me.
Happy 86th birthday Lily Tomlin. My first memory of Lily was watching her singing and signing "Singโ on Sesame Street. Till this day, I still associate this song with Lily more than The Carpenters.
This labor day, we lift up workers! Paychecks over private jets. Tax the rich, ground the GOP! @50501movement.bsky.social @indivisiblebend.bsky.social

Where is the mainsteam media? Anyone out there? Can you hear me???
They're going to show a picture of a pile of ashes on the golf course and MAGA will be like, "Such amazing vigor from OUR president! How does he do it?"
Happy Labor Day ๐
For years, anti-renewable-energy groups linked to fossil fuels have opposed Ohio solar and wind projects by claiming they take up too much land. Now those talking points have made their way into a sweeping new directive from the Trump administration. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/09/01/t...
While the U.S. spent a half a billion dollars painting a fence black on their side, Mexico invited artists to paint their side to express their artistic talent. ๐ The contrast between the two countries highlights each countryโs priorities.

Love this.
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
Troops in the streets and he thinks heโs going to get a Nobel, peace begins at home
Protest, remind them you have a duty,
The Guardian has today printed the names, and where possible, images, of all the media workers killed in Gaza, as part of an international day of action involving more than 150 media organisations. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...
Graham Platner, an oyster farmer from Maine, announced a bid for the seat of incumbent GOP Sen. Susan Collins. His goal? To โclaw back wealth that was created by the labor and the consumption of working class Americans who have not shared in the riches they helped build.โ
Musk now supporting the deportation of anyone who isnโt white. *Do not* use the term โremigrationโ. Itโs an attempt to normalise Nazi hate.
J.B. Pritzker is 100% right. Please listen to him, pay attention, and join us in speaking out against authoritarianism and to protect free and fair elections.
Yep
One thing that's particularly maddening about what's happening todayโbeyond that it's happeningโis that when people talk about how we are moving toward authoritarianism, toward fascism, by a collection of narcissistic sociopaths, many Americans' eyes glaze over.
I think it's time to discuss the 25th Amendment.
Long but worth your time: I hope you listen to the Full talk btwn the award-winning REGINA KING and @marcmaron.bsky.social. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...
Yep. Amazing episode. I'm so going to miss wtf.
ABC News is still calling RFK Jr. a โvaccine skeptic.โ The dude was one of the most prominent anti-vaccine activists for decades. Thereโs video of him in 2023 saying that thereโs no vaccine which is safe and effective. You can call him an anti-vaccine activist!
Wow, this numbers are wild. Never really thought about it.
Oh no. Omg.
Perfection.

Hire a Black woman. We tend to be very good at what we do because we simply are not allowed to be bad at it.
Black women have every right to be furious. The irresponsible choices of white voters has for many of us, taken our livelihood with consequences for our homes, the education of our children, our ability to care for parents. Itโs unconscionable. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/u...
ICONIC. (And not in a good way.)
NEW: Donald Trumpโs โBig Beautiful Billโ will hand out $67 BILLION to companies next year to "incentivize" research these companies did YEARS ago. That means next year, the federal government will spend five times more on these handouts than what it spends annually on child care.
YAY FUN! Hanging out with the Veterans at the rememberyouroath.org at Union Station. Reminding Guardsmen to Remember They swore an oath to the Constitution. PS the Navy Baby Goat Binky is for WATB Louisiana National Guard who say they canโt share sidewalks with old Veterans. Boo hoo!
I feel I'm being judged ๐ฌ
I like it. Pretend we can't see him, can't hear him. Yup.
The United States is slipping from its place as a world leader. You can thank Trump for that.
"Nobody wants to be a cop [in DC]. They were abused. They were spit on." "When you when you say they were abused and spit on, I'm assuming you're talking about January 6th, correct?" "All you guys want to do was bring up J6 about the answer to everything."
This is about to be an evergreen post I bet
What on earth is a 'stone age mind'? Such a ridiculous trope from evolutionary psychology (Pinker, I think) with no understanding of the complexity of the human past. Whether AD 2025 or 2025 BC, all human brains have the same capability to be flexible, adaptable, and are constantly being remade.
FEDERAL AGENTS TAKE NOTEโฆ Itโs not just Chicago standing strong. Other blue cities and governors are ready to unite against Trumpโs federal invasion. Iโm not an attorney, but this point seems huge: if federal agents break state or city laws, they can prosecuted. And Trump cannot pardon them.
Beware! Watch what The Felon does. He is following the Project 2025 playbook!
31 August 1942 | A transport of 1,000 Jews deported from #Drancy in German-occupied France arrived at #Auschwitz. After the arrival selection, 676 of them were murdered in gas chambers. One of them was 3 y/o Jacques Zajderman.
Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Streetโs greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.
Trumpโs budget guts Medicaid. It strips essential health care from disabled Americans and forces them to navigate endless bureaucracy. Trump gets power. Billionaires get tax cuts. Disabled Americans get left behind.
this should become a thing, putting up signs like this for every arrest & disappearance in public spaces. it would likely break into lower info, less politically engaged demos and local social media groups
A look back at past Trump statements is interesting in this moment when stumbling to a golf course is the closest thing to a presidential activity the guy does. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
Protestors have been projecting the innocent victims illegally kidnapped and detained by ICE on the side of the Los Angeles Detention Facility!! Los Angeles has a spirit Trump canโt crush. Los Angeles will crush him instead!!
Sorry, but the scariest places in America arenโt Black neighborhoods, itโs towns like Vidor, where historically, Blacks (and Asians, Jews & Italians) could be lynched w/o consequences. Thereโs literally no equivalent the other way. Thank God these young men werenโt harmed. youtu.be/Px_P0bRkbfU?...
