oh this is straightforward white nationalist agitprop
I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable
That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.
Texas loaded busses with desperate migrants and dropped them off in Chicago like trash in the middle of winter. We welcomed them into our communities. Now Texas is sending its National Guard to terrorize them on our streets. In our neighborhoods. What the fuck.
Pritzker: "It breaks my heart to report that we have been told ICE will try to disrupt community picnics and peaceful parades. Let's be clear -- the terror and cruelty is the point, not the safety of anybody living here."
Real evil shit.
“Our father who art in heaven thinks Ken Paxton violated a commandment and an amendment.”
Anyone who participates in what appears in context to be a proposed military occupation of Chicago “because crime” will be doing something that is illegal and is obligated not to do that. That’s all I’ll say.
BTW y'all if you know or work with Russ Vought, you should contact my buddy @andykroll.bsky.social....
Peyton Henry reminds me of the brother-in-law from 100 foot wave. He can help you with your chakra or your Chi or something. I don’t know.
DEBATE MODERATOR: Our next segment is called Remember Some Guys. Former Governor Cuomo, please begin. CUOMO: Alex Rodriguez? (crowd grumbling and booing; hot mic picks up someone saying "not a Guy") MAMDANI: Lucas Duda (crowd going nuts)
Trump's militarization of law enforcement is not only dangerous, it's against the law. The Framers were afraid of tyrants turning standing armies against the people in the 18th century, and we reject it in the 21st.
Happy to take the birthrate people seriously the second one of them is like omg, have you seen the black infant mortality death rate? We’re losing out on so many lovely black babies!
This is scary but I'm taking The Film Maven off Substack and have transferred to Ghost. Not only does this give me complete ownership of my work, but also means I won't continue to lose money to Substack and Apple. I lay everything out for Subscribers here. thefilmmaven.substack.com/p/the-film-m...
Eric Hinske, good memories there :)
YOU ARE ALL INVITED 🫵🏽💌 I’ve been keeping this a semi-secret for a while. For the month of September, my art, among other artists will be featured at Two Street Club! Opening Night: 140 N 2nd St, Philadelphia, PA 19106 September 5th, 2025 5-8pm See you soon 🥲💖
Last year, Idaho passed a strict law that forbids anyone from providing to a minor any service that could be construed as medical or psychological in nature without parental consent. Now, minors calling the state's suicide hotline are being forced to have a parent speak for them or hang up
I have lots of IRL art events coming up! Deets are all here #sciart
Five children in Gaza among those killed by Israeli strike while fetching water
More than 100 progressive groups, churches, and unions are calling on @mayorbowser.bsky.social to push back on Trump's federal surge in D.C. "History is calling upon you to lead... not to cower in the face of an authoritarian who does not have our best interests in mind," they write.
Today I had the experience of an able bodied stranger coming outta no where and interrogating me and my gf on what disabilities were have. I had always heard about this happening to disabled ppl, now I’m in the club of harassed by a rando for my medical history. Yes it was man. (Of course)
I hate when death stalks me from a mirror. Not saying I feel bad for him.
Waterb bottles flying, mace flying, volatile situation will post when able @acatwithnews.bsky.social is going live on youtube rn
“looks like he brought a bag lunch, smart”
Could say “union” in there, just for kicks. Happy Labor Day.
And now, a thread nobody asked for: the Labor Day skeets of likely 2028 Democratic presidential hopefuls. First up: Andy Beshear, personal account bsky.app/profile/andy...
❤️ U 2
Watch Reservation Dogs, he’s fine in it, sure, but that show rules, generally.
Pointing it out, maybe.
“Friend” no way that is real.
It is insane to me that the richest man in the world is using his global megaphone to call for millions of British people to be rounded up and deported (including my family) and somehow this isn’t even news.
Trump’s treatment of Appalachia’s coal miners exemplifies his approach to labor in general: Kneecap unions whenever possible, prop up industry profits at all costs, and if a few workers die in the process, pretend it never happened. inthesetimes.com/article/trum...
What if they not letting Trump speak because he had a Reverse Fetterman Stroke and hes woke now
This is how I am with “what year is that Nancy from?” Who cares? Move on!
Photo passed along from a federal employee from inside the Dept of Labor building, where a giant Orwellian image of Trump's face is now draped outside. Big Brother is watching.
If you regularly see ICE, ATF, FBI, DSS, IRS, or other federal agents in the same area in DC, please let me know -- especially if it hasn't really been reported on.
The regular ass music from Bluey (not the theme, which is also fire) is so goddamn charming and adorable. They really knocked that entire show out of the park. Top to bottom just perfect.
There was a show called “Ready Jet Go” on PBS that was constant bangers for like ~tmbg parents.
🤔🤔

lmao YOU LITERALLY TARIFFED LUMBER
That’s a heavy “WTF MAN?” from me.
This morning (9/1) at 8 AM feds pulled over a couple at 18th & Park NW. They smashed the window, dragged the husband out & arrested him. When a community member stopped to record they were grabbed & threatened w/ pepper spray by this piece of shit. @mayorbowser.bsky.social do you welcome this too?
“A 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”
Performative public lying is a hallmark of far right authoritarian parties
Good morning! I’m here at the DC Freedom Run! DC statehood now, ICE & National Guard out of DC! #FreeDC!!
#TwentyIsPlenty
We think we’re not ready for a couch-fucker president, but the Tyler administration proves it’s not a disqualifier.
Pinning this - it’s this week!!!!!
Folk Fest is this coming weekend! Check me out in the 1pm hour showcase in the A/C at Abbott Stage, find @darkush.bsky.social band Best Machine at 2pm at Jordan Courts. Preview of one of my songs for the day, inspired by #labor leader Eugene Debs (and also Fuck ICE) youtu.be/uQCjxzejDVk?...

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...
In his own voice, Elon Musk is fully committed to a replacement conspiracy theory as his main lens on UK politics.
Happy labor day to all three workers here:
“Furries” has internal rhyme.
Hey, I live in the DC area. Does anyone know if Sandwich Guy is single?
lol.
My buddy had a car like that and we drove it to a Flyers game in like 33 degrees. He says “we’ll smoke to stay warm”. So I guess I don’t have a solution here other than to have a cigarette. Not helpful.
What if it’s Attenborough?
Just a reminder: fuck don trump
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
A lot of labor day messaging drives me up the wall because the annoying viral "thank a union" is sometimes updated to "don't just thank a union, form your own!" but no one has figured out a viral "demand the right to organize exists again" and IT'S MY JOB TO FIGURE THAT OUT and i still haven't.
My shirt came and it’s the best thing ever
If we are friends and I find out you do this, I will make it my goal to get your license revoked so you don’t fucking kill yourself. I will send a letter to the state. I’ll involve myself with the DOT to help you. Hear that.
Come get cozy indoors with any of our free events this September! Can't make it to an event? Let us know if you want a signed copy of any of these titles held for you at the store.
here’s a version where the POV is blacked out whenever the driver takes their eyes off the road
Must be Gruden’s favorite golf outfit since he wore it last week at Trump’s club in Virginia.
Ghost bikes, but for people kidnapped by ICE.
I know him better as the guy who was an internet reporter who didn’t know how targeted ads worked
If you say 'heteronormative' or 'unhoused person' or 'food insecurity' you're basically talking gibberish and nobody can understand you but if you say you can see inflammation in children at the airport and that vaccines lower IQ or that germs are a myth you get to fire all the scientists.
“Keep the bars open during Covid” class act
Raddatz: “Why fight with the president?” Me and nearly everyone in the District: To protect our neighbors and save our freedom! This clip is proof folks outside of DC believe what they’re told. Shame on Raddatz for toeing the line for the fascist admin and our local leadership who’ve conceded.

five seconds after I said this, we sit down to breakfast from the diner and wife shows me her word puzzle, do I know one? Sure - “chromium”! (Andrew Garfield was good in the movie).
Aside: You ever listen to the musician Kurt Vile? I don’t know why, but I think you’d get a kick out of his vocal style.
DC communities are joyful, powerful— and we're under attack. "But, what can I do?" Glad you asked! Check this out or check out tons of opportunities on the full calendar here ⬇️
For comparison's sake, here's a column art critic @benadavis.bsky.social wrote just a few weeks ago on the same topic news.artnet.com/art-world/dh...

RADDATZ: let’s just ignore the economic impact for a moment, because those really seal the deal against this!
Just saw someone refer to Cheryl Hines as The Marvelous Mrs. Measles and 💀💀💀💀💀💀
"Lorne Michaels changed comedy" "For the better?" "..." "For the better, right?"
If you made me work hours as long as these actors and writers do at any job, I bet I could write a song that would get me blacklisted from whichever industry the job happened to be in.
I wonder how many other people they tried out before deciding to go back with “guy who assaulted our contemporary”.
Israel is now denying US senators (aka their patrons) from even seeing what they have done to Gaza. But the genocide is made up.
Boy George in The A-Team
Oh shit.
DHS agents locked inside their compound in Los Angeles by activists.
MPD is having a fucking field day right now. They’re establishing the checkpoints we’re seeing. They’re rolling up at schools. The city’s encampment eviction team is bypassing local protocol & clearing camps with no notice. The Feds opened the door & the city is happily joining in.
