Tons of Blazer EVs around... mach-e's. And all of the Hyundai
Dude i love the concept of the buzz but the production car doesn't have the character and presence you'd think it should have... little sad it didn't live up to the hype đ
Lol Im a michigan dem and when we bring her up we've all just concluded she fuckin sux. My joke is that she never got past being a CIA analyst or whatever is that she's too dumb for management
extremely funny
Yeah this is real. Mike Johnson said Trump was an FBI informant in the Epstein case.
Excellent article explaining the stakes
really funny bit on performative males www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6bV...
That the NRA recognizes that attacking a minority within their movement makes them weaker to future attacks and that the establishment Dems have not pieced that together means we are truly in the most cursed timeline.
Trump Incompetence Trumps Trump Malevolence Once Again:
Trump's whiteness has gotten him where he's at. A black man who has had multiple bankruptcies, multiple baby mommas, multiple felonies, rape and pedophile allegations and who organized a coup to overthrow the fed government would never, ever be elected President twice.
The official DOJ Twitter account posting the equivalent of a screenshotted Notes app apology from a phone on 30% battery after the acting director got honeypotted on Hinge and confirmed plans of an Epstein/Maxwell coverup.
On the topic of âourâ duty to persuade abusers, a tale: ââ THE FINGER-TAKERâS SON Whenever the king became displeased with one of his subjects, he would send out his soldiers, and before long the offender would find themselves in the basement of the kingâs finger-taker.
âTrump tells Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon to replace bank's economist over tariff predictionsâ Seems he might get a bigger bonus, instead.
Epstein child rapist client list after they removed all the Republicans: 1) Alan dershowistz 2) [[redacted]] 3) [[redacted]] 4) through 498) [[REDACTED]] 499) bill Clinton 500) Prince Charles sausage fingers or whatever 501 Adding chief justice Roberts cuz fuck that guy
Dang. Video is somehow more shocking
GET EM JB!!!!!! Supporting you from across the pond đŤĄ
(I can only communicate in 3 letter abbreviations its a curse. Or is it?)
Lol wtf
The Justice Department's acting deputy chief was caught on a hidden camera saying that the government will "redact every Republican" from an Epstein client list and "leave all the liberal, Democratic people."
Strong reporting here from ProPublica, which found that three Trump Cabinet members -- at Labor, Transportation and EPA -- call multiple homes their primary residence on mortgages. That's the same move that led Trump to fire Lisa Cook from her job at the Fed. bit.ly/466yMyI
Support for vaccinating kids against infectious diseases dropped from 81% in 1991 to 51% last year We are getting dumber as a society
I would have preferred prolonging the good times by electing Kamala but alas
Love me some of the bossa nova! The guitar chords are wild tho if you ever tried to play it
Thats the classic bossa nova right??

Given the trump administrations killing of 11 alleged Venezuelan drug dealers at sea today, now might be a good time to recall his pardon of a American drug dealer actually convicted of running a large drug operation and soliciting murders for higher. www.bbc.com/news/article...
About this Florida vaccine story: When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, whoâd had all their shots, got whooping cough. We asked their pediatrician what wouldâve happened if they hadnât been vaccinated. âOh, theyâd have died.â

Avalanche of lies from POTUS
Under normal circumstances yes. But we are in WWF political mode right now, man.
Vanilla Isis was a great nickname for freak Republicans
Dems need to impeach before this gets out of control. Invading other states is clearly worse than Jan 6th
This is fine . png

âI keep seeing these memes where Indians are bragging about taking our tech jobs,â said Ely, 36. âSo I said, âOh yeah? Well Iâm going to work with these guys that are going to arrest you, slam your face on the pavement and send you home.ââ wapo.st/3VrzEJg
The U.S. Secretary of Energy does not know that electricity is energy. I'm glad we've gotten rid of DEI programs and are now giving America the leadership it deserves.
In the aftermath of Emmett Till's lynching, white supremacists called for federal troops to invade and occupy Chicago. "If the federal government intervenes in the interests of law enforcement anywhere, it should start in Chicago, crime capital extraordinary." h/t @larryglickman.bsky.social
100%. Second-order thinking is nearly completely absent from modern right wingers
Pure distillation of Trump's view that positive-sum trade is literally impossibleâbuying = losing & selling = winning, automatically But also a good view into the inconsistencies of his trade "demands". He's mad at India for its tariffs, but even zeroing them wouldn't be enough?
lmao @ both the ridiculous idea that $15T is being invested in the US because of the tariffs or that weâd become a âthird world nationâ without them
Coping, seething, throwing up, etc
"Itâs surreal to witness the nascent elements of a similar authoritarian takeover in Washington DC, the capitol of supposedly the worldâs leading democracy. It may not yet be at the stage of an actual coup, but the groundwork is being laid." bylinetimes.com/2025/08/29/d...
The indictment was handed down 2 days after career prosecutor Richard Barker, the acting US atty for eastern Washington state, resigned. In a social post, Barker wrote âI am grateful that I never had to sign an indictment or file a brief that I didnât believe in.â www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
((This interaction was brought to you by Dunning Kruger, reading comprehension edition))
I think they do, but its a low priority. They also have zero capability for second-order thinking Occam's: they're just plain idiots
Iâm sure if Trump is at all impaired by a health issue people will be very understanding.
Reminder: the apparent plan was to spirit these children away in the middle of the night without them ever seeing the inside of a courtroom to challenge their deportation. Children.
âI am thinking about tomorrow,â said Toad. âI am thinking about all of the many things that I will have to do.â âYes,â said Frog, âtomorrow will be a very hard day for you.â

Who says im taking the armor off?!?!? Jk
Can u just go to the beach in the armor like a two birds one stone type deal?
Watched it today with the fam, it was good!
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...
âA respected network of hospitals and cancer centers is halting enrollment in clinical trials for children with brain cancer after the federal government said it would no longer provide funding to the group.â This is on Trump. Gift link here: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/w...
Welch: As someone who lives in a red state, let me just tell you what MAGA supermajorities get you. We're 50th in education. The worst in the whole country for women to live. We're poorer, worst health care. And if you look at the bottom ten states, they are all MAGA supermajorities.
This is the classic parricide pleading for clemency as an orphan, and the Trump administration does it constantly. Knowing courts are slow, they charge ahead with illegal conduct, then whine about how disruptrive it will be if, months later, courts finally tell them to stop breaking the law.
Im a guy who knows quite a bit of econ and I learn some things now and then! Very much appreciate the clear language, I've shared your clips with friends and family
Stephen Miller: Secretary Kennedy, one of the world's foremost experts on public health, is working hard to restore the credibility of the CDC as a scientific organization committed to the scientific method

Nice. Just Google " 40% of cops " đŤ
Combination of "Rifle" cartridge, magazine capacity, rate of fire Not perfect but can get you close. And better than what we have
(...I listened ... ) me and my local dudes are fighting back . Will it make a difference? Probably not. But it might. So we are trying đŤ
They attack anything that challenges them or the charade they want to create. Anything fact based will become a target (universities, journalism, even Wikipedia)
Trump admin planning to change student visas from lasting for duration of academic program to fixed 4-yr term, and then much harder to renew Could destroy US ability to attract global talent, particularly those seeking advanced degrees in STEM. The median time to complete a PhD is 5.7 yrs per NSF.
VERY entertaining đ
Did you know MAGA has its own, uh, "musicians?" Yep, they suck. In today's "Standing Room Only," we watch (short!) clips of MAGA musicians and mock them. But also, I know a lot about music history, which my co-host exploits to make this even more fun. youtu.be/cItOEC_NcQ8?...
The Pentagon is restoring a portrait of Gen. Robert E. Lee, which includes a slave guiding the Confederate generalâs horse in the background, to the West Point library three years after a congressionally mandated commission ordered it removed, officials said. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/u...
đ¨ While kids in MN were gunned down at school, Rep. John James starred in a gun-fetish video with right-wing tabloid Michigan Enjoyer. Spraying bullets & âjokingâ that K-12 kids need weapons training. Guns are the #1 killer of kids in Americaâand James thinks itâs funny. No wonder they deleted it. đ

Half joking, but the internet was a mistake

âDo not offer thoughts and prayers as you systemically enable such tragedies. Do not claim prayers are sufficient when children die as they pray. Do not pretend you do not understand.â â Lydia, 16, Minneapolis
I find this @donmoyn.bsky.social piece helpful in clarifying why I disagree with the "America is already in competitive authoritarianism" thesis. Don's checklist shows things that Trump has tried to do, but he hasn't *succeeded* in most areas donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-author...

Fascism isn't an ideology, its an aesthetic- Paxton, Anatomy of Fascism
Full resignation letter from Demetre C. Daskalakis, a CDC leader, does not hold back. "The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning. My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud."
đ¨Border Patrol arrested two firefighters who were actively fighting a wildfire at the time. When the other members of the crew asked for a chance to say goodbye, a Border Patrol agent told the crew member âyou need to get the f*ck out of here. Iâm going to make you leave.â
You'll be thrilled to hear about the Kamala campaign! You will be horrified to find out the results!
According to federal data, 13 of the top 20 cities in homicide rates have Republican governors. None of those cities are Chicago. 8 of the top 10 states in homicide rates are led by Republicans. None of those states are Illinois. And yet Trump is sending troops here.

âTrumpâs pretense to ownership of public goods and public spaces isnât some quirk to be ignored or waited out â âthere goes our Donald!â â but a direct expression of his autocratic ambitions and despotic cast of mind.â
remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature
I have one. Voters make decisions based on the ideas in their heads and their beliefs about the world, and those ideas and beliefs are heavily shaped by their social interactions, especially media consumption, and in the last 20 years most media consumption is from social media's sea of lies.
Written by Taylor Lorenz.. soo. Yeah Im with you, ham fisted attempt but definitely moving in the right direction
Can't wait for the "he makes the trains run on time" propaganda
Dems dont use wedge issues nearly enough
Frey: And don't just say, this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school. They were in a church.
Undermining the Fed to get lower rates now is like ripping the batteries out of your smoke alarm because itâs beeping. Itâs quiet for a bit. Then your house burns down. Credibility anchors expectations; expectations anchor inflation.
These fucking losers (Yarvin, etc) need hierarchies SO BAD because theyre repulsive nerds and can't compete. Need the (knowledgeable) himbo revolution
It's amusing to observe Curtis Yarvin in this setting. He seems quite in love with the sound of his own voice. And most of his utterances are the sort of banalities you'd expect of a recent autodidactâwowed by the most superficial connections, and lacking deeper contextual knowledge.
This is a winning and cheap tactic, we should copy it. Going on CNN and doing press releases has failed and will continue to do so
