A landslide in the middle of a war & famine that was declared last year & has since spread across Sudan. About 25 million people need urgent food aid, according to the UN, while at least 14 million have been forced from their homes. Where is the int’l attention? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/02/w...
Epstein Survivors Press Conference Sept 3rd, 10:30 a.m. ET Tune in to support them.
Donald Trump barged in on Brazilian domestic affairs to protect his ally, Jair Bolsonaro. It doesn’t exactly fit his isolationist approach. We discuss on “Checks and Balance”
General Mark Hertling
Nice to see some Generals standing up for what's right. Those political Generals are killing us.
“…I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it.” My latest in @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/honoring-a...
My father was a Deputy US Marshal during the 1960’s & ‘70’s. My mother worked for the SSA for 30+ years. Both did their job at a high level, teaching me that government workers worked as hard as any private sector workers. CIVIL SERVANTS DO NOT RESIGN- they will replace you with a fascist.
The chief data officer at the SSA, Charles Borges, has been forced to resign after his damning report about the lack of security surrounding Americans personal information. @marisakabas.bsky.social has his resignation letter.

Prof R, you're a modern day hero!
The next days and months and years will demand from all of us great courage — and solidarity. Be prepared.

Just another reason to keep giving Netflix my money.

He’s the Vice President of the United States. He could actually *do* something about this instead of just play pretend games.

You're not going to believe this but Susan Collins is "extremely alarmed"

Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.
I woke up with a CRAZY scary stupid thought: Maybe I should run for Congress against Steny Hoyer. Dude’s been in office since 1981. He’s in his late 80s. If I do it, I’ll run as a progressive independent caucusing with, but not controlled by Dems. And I will NOT take PAC money of any kind.
I don’t think most people understand the times we’re in. What we’re witnessing is an authoritarian dictatorship regime taking over our country. If you don’t understand that Putin is contributing significantly to this takeover then you’re lost. IF we have elections in 26’ I fear they’ll be subverted.
❗️The Russians hit the city of Prypyat, which is right next to the Chornobyl nuclear power plant, with three missiles.
Dr. William Foege, 89, who helped end smallpox in the 1970s, recently wrote: RFK Jr.’s “words can be as lethal as the smallpox virus.” And his actions are more lethal still. He’s waging war on America. That’s an impeachable offense. He must be removed from office. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/h...
Breaking: Democrat Catelin Drey just won an Iowa Senate district that Trump won by double digits last year, flipping the seat blue. Republican just lost their supermajority in the chamber.
I won! I’m so excited to roll up my sleeves and get to work!
My current favorite bit of right-wing Christian hypocrisy is Ken Paxton, a man whose wife is divorcing him for adultery, forcing Texas schools to unconstitutionally post "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery." www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...

www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6bvyV3S/ This is the horror Israel inflicts, and has the never to tell us it’s not on purpose and they are only targeting Hamas. The fuck are they talking about.
Breaking: Democrats have flipped an Iowa state Senate seat in today's special election, breaking the GOP supermajority. The tide is rising and so is disgust for the GOP's authoritarian agenda. #project2026
The head of the Defense Innovation Unit — the Pentagon’s in-house tech incubator — has abruptly stepped down, severing a key link with Silicon Valley.

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Imagine thinking scientists, historians, scholars, economists, and journalists devoted their lives to deceiving you — but a reality-TV star, proven in court to be a lying felon, is your beacon of truth and honesty.”
No lies told here.
"True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.” —FDR, 1944
Epstein survivor Sarah Ransome on Ghislaine Maxwell: “I have spent the last 17 years in my own prison for what she, Jeffrey, and all the co-conspirators did to me. I was raped three times a day. Ghislaine must die in prison.”
The Trump administration is politicizing intelligence, law enforcement, and other government functions while pretending to be punishing politicization.
🤣🤣
The State of Illinois at this time has received no requests or outreach from the federal government asking if we need assistance, and we have made no requests for federal intervention.
Garcia: What we got was complete bullshit. We demanded the full Epstein files, and that’s not what was sent over. The White House cover-up clearly continues. What they sent us was 33,000 pages of documents that have already been in the public domain.
“Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.” ― Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism

Rather than embracing candidates that spark grassroots enthusiasm and tap into the populist ferment of the American public, establishment Democrats are working to favorexactly the kind of uninspiring corporatists that dug the party’s current hole. trib.al/M56jXGv

The warning signs are everywhere.
Just a reminder that this is exactly what Milosevic did in Yugoslavia. Turn the rural areas against the cities. Led to civil war and horrible death. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The clearest picture of corporate greed in this country is CEO-to-worker pay ratios. At the 100 lowest-paying major US companies, CEO pay averaged $17.2M in 2024. Median worker pay at these companies was just $35,570. That’s a ratio of 632 to 1. How can anyone defend this?
WATCH — @jessicatarlov.bsky.social : “Some people may not like how @gavinnewsom.bsky.social is talking. You may not find his posts funny. It is absolutely working. His fundraising #’s just came out. $6.2 million THIS WEEK. 200,000 donors… Dems feel like ‘finally someone is fighting for us’.”

Accusatory Projection - another tactic in the authoritarian’s playbook.

Love the comments here...then I blocked the FOX propagandists
The holocaust survivors would have found it impossible to believe that some of their descendants would inflict a similar genocidal treatment on another people
Something is wrong with this world when someone like you has so few followers.
Indeed, Trump is wrong when thinking that the old factory jobs are what will "make America great again" but it's not because he's old; many old people like me understand technological revolutions and social progress.
Again: this is not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
A beatdown in broad daylight was caught on video: Masked men in tactical vests grappled, tased, and piled onto a delivery worker. Pinning the worker face down on the pavement, agents tased him again and punched him repeatedly in the head.
Curious Prof R what your thoughts are on the regime ‘requesting’ equity in these S&P/Large Cap companies? Sounds kinda like what China does.
The biggest US copper wire manufacturers are still raising their prices even after most copper imports received tariff exemptions. More evidence that powerful corporations may be using the uncertainty and chaos of tariffs as cover to pad their pockets.
Is there any evidence Trump ever drove a vehicle of any kind?
Oh my God
legit laughing my ass off
Federal agents violently detained a food delivery driver as he emerged from a D.C. coffee shop Saturday morning. The incident captured on video showed the officers throwing him to the ground and beating him before sweeping him away in an unmarked vehicle. wapo.st/45Egtkc
Big shock. Family values, my ass. GOP politicians are always the biggest hypocrites. Many of them, crooks.
Release the Epstein Files!
Well, I'm not a body language expert, but Putin looked uncomfortable as hell when that B2 & jets flew overhead.
Fox News Reporter Jacqui Heinrich: The way that it felt in the room was not good. It did not seem like things went well. And it seemed like Putin came in and steam rolled, got right into what he wanted to say and got his photo next to the president and then left
Thank You Dan....Speak Truth....
Operation “Get him to stroke out” is in full swing.
⚡️Japan says Russian military obtained banned machine tools via Chinese firms. Japanese authorities found that over 300 precision machine tools made by Tsugami Corp., sold to seven Chinese firms, had gone missing and were later used by Russia to produce weapons components.
WIN: The 5th Circuit upholds a ruling that struck down Louisiana's state legislative maps for violating the Voting Rights Act by diluting Black voting power. The state must redraw the maps to ensure Black voters have equal opportunity to elect their preferred candidates.
Ghislaine Maxwell’s attorney - addressing me directly - says there’s no such thing as prisoner work details outside the facility in the federal prison system. Yes there are. I have receipts.
Newsom: "He doesn't play by a different set of rules. He doesn't believe in the rules. As a consequence, we need to disabuse ourselves of the way things have been done. It's not enough to just hold hands, have a candlelight vigil, talk about way the world should be...we have got to meet fire w/fire"
Everytime Newsom speaks.....America right now.......

AMAZING! Thank you so much!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💜💜💜💜💜
Inflation is rising. Unemployment is up. Rents are up. This administration is failing on its promises and actively making everything worse.
This is A+ trolling
