They Tried to Sneak Out 600 Kids on a Holiday Weekend The government was loading Guatemalan minors, unaccompanied, some as young as 6-7.
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
Melania making a break for it?
Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.
As we begin a new month, my law firm is litigation 51 voting and election cases in 25 states. 6 in Arizona 6 in Georgia 4 in Florida 4 in North Carolina 8 involve redistricting
This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime. A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering. 1/4
Portland, Maine crowd as Democratic US Senate candidate Graham Platner takes the stage today.
Man, I feel this. 🙏🏽😭
That was mesmerizing.
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."
Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.
Judge blocks abrupt deportation of hundreds of Guatemalan children - POLITICO The administration has NO conscience. NO morals. NO decency.
The people around her who saw her die had the chance right then to stop. They did not. They are all criminals.
"She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it. She was not protecting lives at a gate in Iraq; she was forcing her way through windows in the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power." New from @markhertling.bsky.social:
Television legend Stephen Colbert has just signed a $13.5 million deal with Netflix for a 7-episode series.

“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.
CHICAGO…
I’m aware of that but anyone who paid attention to what happened in the US recalls this is how it all started here. With Florida removing books. Other red states joined and here we are fighting fascism. It took just 3or 4 yrs to get here because states have rights. But fascism had no border!
THIS 👉🏾 What price are you willing to pay? “You’re letting masked men snatch girls’ parents off the streets.”
Please Canada! Say it ain’t so.
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...
Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:
It’s outrageous that Sec. Kennedy is trying to fire the CDC Director — after only a few weeks on the job — for her commitment to public health & vaccines. The Sen. HELP Committee must hold a hearing with Kennedy & the CDC Director as soon as possible. Vaccines save lives. Period.

Over 400,000 New Jerseyans will pay more for their health care next year because Republicans chose to sacrifice your care in order to give tax breaks to their billionaire friends. It's unacceptable.
Never before in our history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many of us, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next. This is what dictatorship looks like.
Still too high. Unexplainably high.
Please stay safe. Pack your bug out bags and don’t forget air masks or your pets.

Nova Scotia is burning. Canada’s Ocean Playground. Please pray for rain. For the wind to abate, for professionals and volunteers to get ahead and stay there. 💔🇨🇦
He's such a good guy.
Maybe it’s time for those areas to stage complete economic shut downs.
Arrested for filming it. And look how excited they all are to get some *action*. 🇺🇸 Watch fascism work.
I’m shocked Trump didn’t block this. It’s exactly the kind of history he wants to whitewash. Thousands of pages dropped on how the DOJ, FBI, and Civil Rights Commission handled Emmett Till’s murder. REMINDER: It all began with a lie from a white woman that became a death sentence for a Black kid.
CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?
"This could be the difference whether your child gets cancer. Are you willing for them to die because the therapy for them is delayed?" Powerful video with voices from top US scientists on the very real and devastating impacts of the funding cuts.
Welker to Lavrov: "Here are the facts. Close to 50,000 civilians have either been killed or injured in this war. Russia has hit maternity wards, churches, schools, hospitals, a kindergarten just this week. So either the Russian military has terrible aim or you are targeting civilians. Which is it?"
Asked and answered 🔥 👀
“I was r*ped sometimes 3 times a day on that island… and I was not the only girl on that island… Ghislaine must die in prison, because I’ve been in hell and back for the last 17 years.” Listen to the survivors.
🚨BREAKING: Hours after Texas passed its new map, my law firm has challenged it in federal court. In addition to violating the VRA, HB 4 violates the 14th Amendment because it unjustifiably considers race and partisanship as part of a voluntary, mid-cycle redistricting. @redistrictfdn.bsky.social

It’s very conspicuous rewatching this that Trump is desperately trying to hide the back of his right hand from the camera
I can't believe this isn't bigger news! A cover-up! Of course, he's doing this!! How are we not freaking out even more about this?? Epstein files 🗂️
It’s my opinion that humanitarian and musical genius Dolly Parton (as well as Chef José Andrés) deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. tucson.com/life-enterta...
🚨 Mayor Wu faces criminal charges because she is decent. We all know what ⏰ it is. Of course you are going after a female POC first. She is a “suspicious person” in 2025.
Neil deGrass Tyson: "How sad it must be believing that scientists, historians, scholars, economists, journalists devoted their entire lives to deceiving you, but a reality-TV star proven in court to be a lying felon is your beacon of truth & honesty"

Statement from Illinois Governor JB Pritzker on reports that Trump plans to deploy the military in his state
@rokhanna.bsky.social: “Only 3% of the documents given to the [House] Oversight Committee are new. The rest are already in the public domain. Less than 1% of files have been released. DOJ is stonewalling.” khanna.house.gov/media/press-...

Walmart spent $35.3B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024, enough to give each of its 2.2M employees annual bonuses of $2,719. Last year, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay of just $29,469. Textbook corporate greed.
In case anyone is still wondering why Bolton was raided
Way to go, San Francisco!! 👏👏
A federal judge ordered that no more immigrant detainees be sent to the “Alligator Alcatraz” detention center in the Florida Everglades, and that much of the facility be dismantled. The ruling rebuked the state and federal governments for failing to consider potential environmental harms.
On the road to a zombified America, Smithsonian visitors react to Trump calling education and history centers “woke”. Erasure of events of the past, erasure of truth, erasure of education, erasure of symptoms and treatments, all because it doesn’t align with this Christian Nationalism. /
How did he ever win a riding? Disappointing.
He has been accused of human trafficking specifically helping other “illegals” come into the us.
ICE, DC Police, Park Police, DHS, and HSI brutally arrested a man who refused to provide identification after being stopped for eating in public. Goons attempted to stop community members from recording his injuries during the incident.
There is only one way to respond to this GOP gerrymandering power-grab: hit them back harder. Newsom has shown what we can do when we’re not afraid to play their game. Time for other Dems to follow suit.
Hallmark has carried Mahogany cards for about 20 years. I have no objection to something sentimental touching the heart of someone other than the white female that I am…..does that make me woke? It certainly makes me unoffended.
It’s all about sending a message. The raid is the message. It’s all about retribution. He is the retribution president. As with troops on our streets, it’s all about normalizing fascism. This is fascism. Fascism is here. Too many Americans are too “busy” to care. But it’s here.
He is still facing a trial for trafficking in Jan 2027. It’s all a sham.
BREAKING: We're filing a petition for the immediate release of Mario Guevara, a journalist who is being detained by ICE because of his reporting on law enforcement activity. The First Amendment is clear: Journalists cannot be detained for doing their jobs.
Without the financial penalty the message to him and their ilk is clearly crime does pay.

James Madison was elected in 1812 during the War of 1812. Abraham Lincoln was elected in 1864 during the Civil War. FDR was elected in 1944 during WWII. JBJ & Nixon were elected in 1964 & 1972 during the Vietnam War. George W. Bush was elected in 2004 during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
Being against vaccines when diseases are rampant (measles, Covid) is like adding chlorine to the gene pool. Darwin is watching.
🚨 Happening NOW 🚨 Black woman TX legislator being held hostage. Not ok!
The decision of European leaders to all join Zelensky in his White House visit was one of the savviest diplomatic moves I’ve seen in a long time. Historic. THAT is how you unify for democracy.
Happy Birthday!
A crowd of protestors has gathered inside the Texas Capitol building, demanding the release of Democratic Rep. Nicole Collier from the floor.
Texas in 2025.
Pay attention. Conservatives have always been in it for the long haul. Elections are local so get involved. Not just every four years.
Collier: I refused to sign and so I was told that I was gonna have to stay here on the floor. They have locked the doors. The sergeants have been instructed not to allow me to leave until I have a permission slip.

Crow: "Look at what happened. US military personnel in uniform literally were on hands & knees rolling out a red carpet for the most murderous dictator of the 21st century...we keep on acting like Putin deserves to be brought out in open like any of head of state. This is a historic embarrassment."
Release the Epstein Files.
Russian tanks are now flying the American flag. Disgraceful.
EX AMBASSADOR TO RUSSIA MCFAUL: “Putin doesn't look at all of this stuff as a sign of strength. He looks at it as a sign of weakness. He had to do absolutely nothing to get this meeting. Putin has gained everything and given nothing in return.”
Blumenthal: "My stomach turned when I heard the president of the United States characterize Vladimir Putin as his fabulously good friend. Vladimir Putin is a war criminal."
Well done, Alaska.
Newsom: “Wake up, America. If he rigs this election, you won’t have a country anymore.”
This is A+ trolling
Wes Moore on Fox & Friends: "Our National Guards are not trained for this ... we know the missions that they are trained for. Municipal policing is not one of them. If we want to be serious about making people safe, let's actually do the things that make people safe."
Stay safe. I’m sorry this is happening. Again. In the amazing place I call Home.
Smart! A Raven doing Raven things.
