One tragedy after another. Heartbreaking.
Bizarre
California stepping up.
Man, I feel this. šš½š
We want to give a big shout-out to Palm Beach Gardens, New York City, Boston, Los Angeles, Houston, Albuquerque, Cleveland, and Greensboro! Thank you for showing up today and making your voices heard! šā
Not all workers get today off! While you enjoy your holiday, many agricultural workers are hard at work planting, harvesting, and packaging the food we eat every day. Today lest honor those workers and thank them for their amazing work. #WeFeedYou #LaborDay
Thank you!

Seems like as good a time as any to reshare my story on the Coffee County voting system breach, which details the key role Giuliani played in Trumpās effort to overturn the 2020 election. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/what...
UPDATE: House Oversight is convening a private roundtable with survivors of Epsteinās abuse. This is a testament to our pressure. I look forward to hearing from survivors & won't stop pushing for a full, public hearing so their stories are documented in the Congressional Record.
Workers need an economy that works for us, not billionaires and greedy corporations. Thatās what Americaās unions are fighting for on Workersā Labor Day and every day. Itās time that working people got treated with the dignity and respect we deserve.
This is just one of the reasons I did not renew my WAPO subscription.
Thank you for all you do.
The six reliably pro-Trump justices are "racking up a rap sheet of constitutional abuses of staggering import." ICYMI Philip Allen Lacovara on the coming judgment of history:
Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a āfinancierā? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. Iāve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:
The Utah Legislature wraps itself in that great legal scholar (Trump) to whine about having to be fair to all Utahns Sanctimonious twits
NEW: The trump administration attempted to remove 600 terrified unaccompanied minors to Guatemala in the middle of the night on a holiday weekend. Judge Sooknanan stopped it. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-sookna...
Remember the Goolsbee Rule, also called the āpathological irony of crisisā: If you lose credibility, your statements begin to mean the opposite of what you say.
We do deserve better. I understand that Democrats are in the minority, however I am not hearing Dems speak up often and forcefully enough. I am not seeing a cohesive unit preparing for the midterms.
apnews.com/article/immi...: Oregon firefighter arrested by Border Patrol during wildfire was on track for legal status
I stand with Chicago. I stand with Mayor Johnson. šØ NEW: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson just signed an executive order to resist Trumpās federal invasion and occupation of the city. Details in š§µ
He is right. Make Congress do their job.
Stuart Stevens on National Guard deployment: "The murder rate of Jackson, Mississippi is 3 times that of D.C.... the whole thing is complete fraud"
Oh
Because Modi got an invite to Jinping's military parade?
Coward.
Does he have a body double?
listen he cannot officially be declared un-dead until his caddie casually drops a ball on the green after he shanks one into the woods sorry I don't make the rules here
Once again, Border Patrol tells the press this was a targeted kidnapping, yet they took a man who is legally here & in the immigration process. This shows that it was not a targeted investigation as they claimed. Press must stop printing lies. apnews.com/article/immi...

FOX: *plays clip of Gavin Newsom pointing out that crime is higher in Louisiana than in California* FOX: Your response? MIKE JOHNSON: He needs to go an govern his state and not be engaging in this
GOP Rep. Moore tucked tail and ran during a brutal town hall booing
Can't win without cheating.
You pray for Ukraine. Why not Gazan women and children?
I'm not a NYT's subscriber so I cannot read the article. Will she be allowed continue her residency and display her art?
Good.
I often talk about the fact that MAGA does not access the same news as the left wing. I present to you Exhibit A. Dr. Daskalakisā resignation letter excoriated RFK Jr. and shared that RFK Jr. was lying to the public, manipulating data, and ordering unethical actions. This what Fox News served.
And this guy is brilliant for showing every white person how to use their privilege in the best way possible.
This guy is right.
Not everyone in Utah is conservative.
Pat Bagley is a genius.
I am appalled and terrified.
Here's some good news: Catelin Drey won a special election this week to flip a seat blue in the Iowa Senate and break Republicans' supermajority.
Neil Young launched a broadside against President Trump on Wednesday through a new song that decries āfascistsā and includes the line, āThereās big crime in D.C. at the White House.ā
The Department of Homeland Security is reportedly barring states and organizations that receive government funds from helping undocumented immigrants. This will make it harder for the most vulnerable people to get help in the aftermath of disasters. It was always about cruelty.
If Trump succeeds at firing Lisa Cook and replacing her with a loyalist, he could be just months away from a full-blown takeover of the Federal Reserve, RogƩ Karma argues:
Put women in charge!
here's today's post: "fascism, but with morons" ā canāt any of these clowns do their jobs without fucking up? thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter to keep getting the good stuff ā
Heartbreaking
fascism, but with morons ~ ~Jeff Tiedrich Aug.28
Our leaders who spoke truth to power were just escorted off Roybal campus by security. Speak out and youāre gone? Go ahead - weāre not afraid. š
This administration's immigration policy is fundamentally sick. Trump has wrongly detained lawful green card holders and even CITIZENS. No one should assume this was necessary. These firefighters put their lives on the line for us ALL and Trump is detaining them.
I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns donāt kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.
First responder fire fighters in Washington State targeted by ICE yesterday. www.yahoo.com/news/article...
Has this information been independently verified?
The story of the human race is a story of refusing to accept violence as ordinary and normal. But Donald Trump celebrates and uses violence - and the threat of violence - everyday. Our nation under him is bathed in violence. We are heading backwards.
I guess for no reason at all, I'm reposting a piece I wrote two years ago, entitled "it's the fucking guns, you fucking fucks."
He is right.
Don't get it twisted. Trump is having the National Guard pick up trash to debase them. He hates the military. He is incapable of understanding anyone who would make sacrifices for the greater good. He thinks they are suckers and losers, and he's treating them as such.
Media: kids are in shock after horrific events like today. Leave them alone.
Never before in our history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many of us, while simultaneously preventing others ā Congress, the courts, the American people ā from having a say or even knowing what heās going to do next. This is what dictatorship looks like.
I agree
Susan Collins shamed at ribbon cutting ceremony for not having held a town hall in 20 years.
Those who have the power to stop mass shootings can go to hell with their "thoughts and prayers." Do something about it, you evil bastards.
AMERICA: āItās a mental health issue.ā REST OF THE WORLD: āWe have those. But donāt have mass shootings.ā AMERICA: āItās video games.ā WORLD: āWe have those too. But donāt have mass shootings.ā AMERICA B: āItās cause they took Jesus out of the classroom.ā WORLD: āGod, youāre stupid.ā
Why I no longer subscribe to either publication.
Keep the momentum going
In America, pardoned convicts are hired by ICE and fill cabinet positions.
Brutal. A humiliation ritual.
Reup: One thing many are missing abt Social Security whistleblower complaint is this: DOGE--including Big Balls, who has ties to criminal hackers--put ALL American Social Security data on an insecure AWS site AFTER SCOTUS GOPers intervened and let them do that. www.emptywheel.net/2025/08/26/a...
ICYMI: Trump has just about decimated the federal workforce, with more than 199,000 people pushed out since Jan, per a new report. Nearly 10% of the entire federal civilian workforce gone. āThe services that Americans have come to expect are not going to be there.ā www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
It's the MAGA way.
Five of my favorite women in media discussing democracy, community and the importance of using our voices.
Thank you so much for this. My favorite women in media together. More, please.

A National Guard Member Running for Office Is Asking His Colleagues to Disobey Illegal Orders Captain Dylan Blaha is asking his colleagues to disobey Trump's illegal order, & he's running for office as a progressive Democrat to reform the Democratic Party. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

Outrageous!

"I think one of the problems that we face...dealing with Donald Trump...is in the failure of imagination.How far would he go? How bad would could it get? What would he do with the unchecked powers of the presidency?" -Charlie Sykes Charlie nailed it. @sykescharlie.bsky.social

"To be patriotic is to understand that a truly great nation can openly acknowledge its wrongs and be better for it."- Ken Burns #ResistTrump
His recent opinion on Trump was worth reading. I cancelled a year ago as well. They wouldn't issue a refund so I continue to get WAPO for another week or two.
Did you get that from George Will? "Flaccid as a boned fish"
Today Trump issued an executive order to prosecute people who burn the American flag? www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...
John Roberts, my man. He was always going to keep testing you. You laid down a marker, and he passed right on by. Your move.
UPDATE: Lisa Cook says she's not going anywhere and Trump's bid to fire her is baseless. www.politico.com/news/2025/08...
Constituent: You talked about abuses in the medicare and medicaid system and I found interesting that the president pardoned someone that defrauded the medicaid system for $1.3 billion
Trump and Stephen Miller basically kidnapped the wrong guy and are now moving heaven and earth to torture him and pretend they had a reason other than bigotry.
