Dr. Paul Offit, a frequent critic of US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has been blocked from participating in a panel of independent experts who advise the US Food and Drug Administration on vaccines. https://cnn.it/42dwE78
Counterpoint: the most relevant audience will understand the reference.
/3 Also, it should be obvious, but in case not: this illustrates that the aims of the anti-trans movement are legitimizing violence against trans people as well as against anyone who doesn’t present like Bobby and Cindy Brady.
Here's the video Trump just posted to Truth Social, with the claim that 11 people aboard the boat were killed. There is zero evidence of self-defense here. Looks like a massacre of civilians at sea. Even if they had drugs aboard, that's not a capital offense.
Read about how Francis J. Allman, Chief Judge of Florida’s Second Judicial District, is an un-American censorial fascist thug worthy of contempt.

I’m sorry but saying “I am an offensive genius” and then immediately after saying “I don’t know about pulling guards” is completely hilarious shit
...aren't you AFRICAN? ... ...and, like, the version that's kinda not originally from THERE either?
Weird, putting tariffs on construction materials and throwing day laborers in concentration camps should have solved the supply problem by now
The goddamn Reagan slightly-post-1980 Inflection Point strikes again
It's fuckin wild (but also totally understandable if you know anything about the kind of strong aura authoritarian/cult-ish leadership needs) that they have lost control of the narrative so fucking hard because they simply can't trot the President out in front of the press pool mics to say ANYTHING.
More than 445,000 federal employees saw their union protections disappear in August, as agencies moved to comply with an executive order President Trump signed earlier this year that called for ignoring collective bargaining contracts with nearly one million workers.

This is literally the largest act of union busting in American history. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/u...
Despite his vow to help coal miners, Trump halted enforcement of a regulation that protects miners from a debilitating, often deadly lung disease. He fired the chair of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB)... #WorkersOverBillionaires #LabourDay www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Whether or not these people are actual foreign agents is almost irrelevant. Their actions are observationally equivalent to & indistinguishable from the actions actual foreign agents would be taking. The consequences of our total Article I constitutional crisis, right here:
Trump limits National Guard assignments to 29 days at a time to keep the called up service members from getting healthcare and housing benefits while on duty. And the NG troops are catching on. Stereotypical Trump. Don't give those losers and suckers an extra dime. www.rawstory.com/trump-infuri...
“A suspected Russian interference attack targeting Ursula von der Leyen disabled GPS navigation services at a Bulgarian airport and forced the European Commission president’s plane to land using paper maps.”
The Trump administration has stepped up efforts to obtain personal information about tens of millions of voters across the country, including seeking sensitive data such as partial Social Security numbers.
Musk now supporting the deportation of anyone who isn’t white. *Do not* use the term “remigration”. It’s an attempt to normalise Nazi hate.
“Stop talking about that time we did a insurrection”
Based on AI, bounty hunters stormed a North Texas home, threw a flash bang and snatched the wrong guy, police say
Remember, kids: A real big goal of "AI" is to entirely sever capital from labor, and no, there will be no universal basic income, you can all just starve and die, thanks www.axios.com/2025/08/26/a...
This whole thing is great but the highlighted bit made me laugh out loud. 😂 Marlon on Snoop:
Oh they're absolutely hoping for a(nother) bailout from the government to save their 3x "I Voted For The Guy Who Put Me In These Dire Financial Straits" asses. Fuckin Charlie Brown with a football nincompoops.
I like this TNT scorebug. #CFB
Pure, unmitigated rage coursing through my body over a call in a game I have zero investment in…football officially back 😍
⚡️Russian soldier allegedly executes unarmed civilian in Donetsk Oblast, footage shows. Ukraine’s 1st Azov Corps said the victim was clearly in civilian clothing and unarmed, describing the incident as a direct violation of the Geneva Convention on the protection of civilians.
Texas Tech/Arkansas Pine Bluff is going to 8 minute quarters once they get back from their weather delay.
Ok is she too careless to realize that the blanked out word here is ”Jews” or is she fully over the edge?
They’re doing all this to prevent people from MEMORIALIZING A MASS SHOOTING
This is the type of person Trump pardoned. He proudly asserts that they should have injured a US Capitol Police Officer worse than they did on January 6th (@sergeantaqgo.bsky.social) had to medically retire). But MAGA supports law enforcement? Seriously? Then show me by condemning this guy.
Little kids with brain cancer. That’s who Donald Trump and RFK Jr. are screwing over by cutting health care.
If it is that close, they should already be heading for shelter.
A cruiser, destroyers, a sub, Marines, and an amphibious group off Venezuela isn’t a drug bust force. That’s power projection... blockade, strikes, intimidation, special ops.
no way they made the Michigan car an import
Fascism-plus.
ICE detain man who is legally in U.S.—son of a decorated military veteran. "As a granddaughter of a Master Sergeant veteran," she said. "I never believed my home would be at risk in the country my family fought for." He is living in U.S. legally—and has never commit a crime. Dallas, Texas.

Old entertainers need to stop saying this shit. Firstly it's boring grumpiness. Two, It's not true and thirdly, if it's true it also doesn't make sense. How do you "not make" something that already exists
DUCK DOWN, PUDDLES HAS LOST HIS HEAD (h/t @kwade.bsky.social)
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated that Russia is attempting to destabilize Germany, including targeting its infrastructure, and therefore Berlin is in direct conflict with Moscow.
THE GOP NEVER GETS TO SAY "We support the troops" EVER AGAIN UNTIL ANYONE ASSOCIATED WITH THE CURRENT GENERATION IN THE PARTY IS GONE Fuck everything about privatizing veteran healthcare
My one concern about this: it is one HELL of a dangerous double-edged sword that could very well backfire on activists at some point with masking for anonymity. (But it's funny to see how quickly authorities panic when their bully tools are turned against them)
Final score in Columbus might be 3-2.
"hes probably not dead" yeah no shit! shut the fuck up! im gonna spray you with a fucking water bottle!

I'm torn. I want to see a viable wrestling league, but Terry's name is on it and it's going to run in Fox Nation.
People saying Trump is dying or possibly dead, but I for one would urge caution, because it is quite possible a second healtbar will appear as he enters his second phase and a gargantuan centipede will burst forth from his torso, so be careful of his new sweep attacks and toxic buildup from bites.
Everyone on Bluesky is poised like we're waiting for the DVD logo to hit the corner of the screen
The funniest part about all this is that JD Vance has definitely texted at least six people asking if it’s true and has been left on read.
Good luck finding cops these days that aren’t ready to go to war with the people they “serve and protect.”
If you were a user or admirer of NOAA’s amazing climate.gov website - which has had all the good stuff (e.g., actual data and climate monitoring indices) removed by government - some web and data gurus/guerrillas are about to launch a recreation at climate.us. Follow @climate.us for launch updates.

kind of fun to imagine the rest of the world flying their flags at 1.5 mast in reverse mourning though
How it started How it’s going @SenJoniErnst edition
Dr. Dmitri Daskalakis, who resigned from the CDC says that RFKJr said he believes that Avian flu should be allowed to "burn through" the chickens and then children and others, so we can propagate a "stronger species". RFKJr believes in eugenics. RFKJr needs to resign or be fired.
I take this as evidence that he doesn't remember any of the other school shootings.

No notes
Breaking News: A federal appeals court ruled that many of President Trump’s most punishing tariffs are illegal. But the judges delayed the implementation of their order until October to grant the administration time to seek review by the Supreme Court.
To be clear: this is yet another reason why many of these laws are so problematic. If people want to run fediverse instances of any size, the fact that costly age verification requirements could put them in legal jeopardy, is very bad. Regulators make laws as if every website is Facebook.
To save you a click— “Showrunner” is the name of the AI company. The person behind it is Edward Saatchi, whose last job was making content for Oculus for Meta. Which is not a job that exists anymore. Anyway this looks horrific
Jerry Jones calling Micah Parsons "Michael" during his press conference does not build any confidence in his current abilities running the Cowboys.
This is so disheartening
Alan Dershowitz has become a querulous, lawless buffoon and serial abuser of the legal system. This lawsuit was indefensible and a contemptible example of the sentiment “I am famous and important, you can’t disrespect me.”
The Republicans give us the venomous power-hungry racism but you need to go a Libertarian to get “the government suggesting I shouldn’t eat raw chicken is as tyrannical as the age of consent”
It’s gutting to think of the parents who fought to get their kids into these trials as last resorts who are now getting that chance to save their kid ripped away from them for no reason
DC = Dry Country: Remember the near-daily downpours in June and July? In an about-face, the DC region is on track for its driest August in over 150 years. More details: cwg.live

⚡️ Russian losses amount to nearly 220,000 killed as of August, media reports. Some 219,000 Russian soldiers were killed in the war in Ukraine, Mediazona and Meduza reported, basing the calculations on the list of verified deaths and other data.
two part strategy; shame ICE, be friendly and supportive to the Guard in a 'I can't believe you guys are having to go through this shit' way.
NEWS: CVS, the largest pharmacy chain in the country, is currently not offering Covid vaccines in 16 states and DC — even to people who meet the new FDA criteria — because the CDC hasn't signed off and isn't expected to do so (if it does so) for at least three weeks.
Rep. Mark Alford to his angry constituents: "If you didn't want to hear my lies, why did you come here?" #BlueCrew
I understand everyone posting the hotdog meme (which I agree with) but also, this is pretty notable for a same party senator in leadership.
You don't have to apologize for that.
Not sure what this is even supposed to be do, given they are recklessly downsizing, not expanding.
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.
Is Polis trying to race Newsom in who can immolate their 2028 nomination chances the fastest? Newsom already has a big head start.
I feel like the military occupation of DC will hit different when congress is back in session and lawmakers are face-to-face (or at least more face-to-face) with what's going on. Of course, they're getting booed out of town halls, so maybe having all those troops around will make them feel better.
I haven't been able to find a legit source on this. Anyone have one? (That they were NA, not that they were kidnapped while firefighting).
This is legitimately terrifying. Actively conspiracy-addled crackpots are in charge of America's health.

Critics see big risks
Let’s say this again. Read this carefully, line-by-line, so you don’t forget. Gender affirming care is not harmful to patients. In fact, it’s actually shown to REDUCE rates of suicide in transgender people by up to 70%.
