Democracy Fights Back As Trump's Use Of Troops As Civilian Police Force Ruled Illegal www.politicususa.com/p/democracy-...
The Pentagon authorizes military judges for immigration cases, the National Guard occupies DC, and Federal forces prepare to deploy to Chicago. They’re attacking democracy, terrorizing Black & Brown communities, and quelling dissent. We need to be prepared—learn how here: bit.ly/resistancetoolkit.
🚨Regarding the #Pentagon and #SpaceForce announcements: Reps @rokhanna.bsky.social (D-CA) and Thomas Massie (R-KY) are holding a press conference tomorrow, 9/3, 10:30am, with ten victims of Epstein’s sex trafficking. Link to watch live: youtube.com/live/q6fUosr... 🗣️ Release the Epstein files
Background from @lawfaremedia.org on the limits of Title 32, Section 502(f): "If a ... president were to ... ask governors to send unfederalized Guard personnel into a nonconsenting state—as opposed to a non-state jurisdiction like D.C.—that deployment would violate the Constitution."
I don’t understand why veteran organizations aren’t conducting strategy operations against ICE like Operation Fortitude conducted in World War II.
As many as 100 survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and other victims of sexual abuse are expected to attend a rally Wednesday in Washington, D.C. as a bipartisan Congressional effort gains steam to force the U.S. Department of Justice to make public its controversial files on the disgraced sex trafficker.

Pritzker: Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: Once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next
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."

Wondering if moving Space Force creates a temporary vulnerability and if there is a stronger Russian spy network in Alabama.
BREAKING: The Pentagon has authorized up to 600 military lawyers to serve as temporary immigration judges. This is a blatant expansion of military power into a civilian judicial process, a dangerous erosion of the separation between the two. Every day, we inch closer to fascism.
With China and India Putin might be better equipped for WWIII than the EU or NATO. Neither the EU or NATO should count on Trump who might throw the U.S. behind Putin. Which is exactly what I think he would do.
It only takes a spark: “June 28, 1914: Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie were assassinated in Sarajevo by Gavrilo Princip, a Bosnian Serb nationalist linked to the group Black Hand.” The assassination of Ursula von der Leyen or Carsten Breue might be the spark Putin is looking for. …
Putin is escalating
“‘The shift from old media to new media is a trend so big some people don’t even see it,’ [Peter Thiel] said [in 2007], noting that new media like Facebook [whose first major investor was Thiel] was going to kill off all others.” By Kara Swisher, 5/26/16 … 1/ www.vox.com/2016/5/26/11...
Truly astounding to consider the existence of humans who are willing to risk their dog getting rabies because they think that a vaccine will give their dog autism
Epstein Survivors Press Conference Sept 3rd, 10:30 a.m. ET Tune in to support them.
New York does not miss. The bleach did it for me. 😭
Curtail? Congress and SCOTUS have willingly handed over power to the president.
My statement on today’s ruling that Trump’s deployment of thousands of Marines and National Guard troops to Los Angeles is illegal.
‼️Neither can TraitorFelon45 use National Guard troops in Chicago‼️
Trump threatens Chicago with ICE, National Guard invasion. My city isn't having it. "Let it be known loud and clear that this isn’t a city you mess with. This is a place of hard work. A place where resistance runs deep." My column: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...
In a move that is sure to shock no one, a judge has ruled that Trump's deployment of National Guard troops to LA was illegal. As a retired National Guard member told our friends at @revealnews.org in June, Trump's co-opting of the military is putting our democracy in extreme danger.
DC MUSIC FESTIVAL HAPPENING NOW 9/1
Last days of summer scenes, Kenai River Alaska.
Yes, these are people who have brought joy to our lives, who gave us shelter from the storm. The backbone of our economy. We want them here. We want the deported people brought back with full citizenship and compensation. Stop the madness.
Man, I feel this. 🙏🏽😭
Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.
I attack Oasis a lot BUT this song very much rules. They had some bangers www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPKe...
What a voice that guy has! I mean, there’s no doubt that’s a manly organ. Get your mind out of the gutter, I’m talking about his voice box.
Los Angeles, CA Music Festival 9/1/25
So funny, so true. I do try to keep my television volume way low, like 10, to protect my hearing. But every once in a while, if the sound and recording guys didn’t do a good job on a show and the tracks are muffled, I end up turning the volume up just to understand what people are saying.
Portland, Maine crowd as Democratic US Senate candidate Graham Platner takes the stage today.
Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.
It’s still hard to believe we’ve come to this.
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.
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

Best short I have seen in a long long time. Thank you for posting!
I love how music transcends not only every human but every species. That’s why I love all musicians because they share a message that resonates with every living being on this planet.

He’s thinking in terms relative to himself. While Trump may only want to wipe out the Gazans, the Mexicans, the blacks, and the Venezuelan, RFK Junior wants to wipe out everybody.
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.
Revoking an entire nationality’s visas is collective punishment and never acceptable — especially in this moment when millions of Palestinians lack equal rights, basic healthcare, and so much more at home, forcing them out of the US is unfathomably cruel. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/w...
The world is headed to World War III. Americans are not prepared.
9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
❗️The plane carrying Ursula von der Leyen made an emergency landing in Bulgaria - due to the action of Russian electronic warfare, navigation was disabled and specialists were forced to use paper maps
The President of Portugal Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa called the orange felon a Russian asset in a live televised speech. Well done, this is how you do it. 👏

What a great actor Raul Julia was. He was perfect for Gomez Addams, and he was hilarious in Moon Over Parador. His comedy timing was great.
This is nothing else but a hybrid war that Russia wages against Europe Let's name things as they really are:Russia has made an assassination attempt of the President of the European Commission Russia has been jamming GPS-signals over many Eastern Europe countries that are in its immediate vicinity
Yellen articulates Trump‘s goals are the federal government be allowed to borrow any amount of money without interest penalties. Sounds like how he does business, why he has bankrupted every business he’s ever had. Trump wants everybody’s gold. He wants us to work for free and tax us into poverty.
Gorgeous! My favorite flower colors, it looks like ice cream.

Men get so disappointed when they find out they're having a daughter because they realize they have to spend the next 18+ years protecting her from all the harassment they put so much energy into convincing other women doesn't exist.
@krystafauria.bsky.social has AP article about AI apocalypse language sounding more and more religious. It won’t post from the AP app, but is definitely worth finding and reading. Comment: *everything* is corruptible. In the origin of sin myth Satan was Lucifer & sin “magically” appeared in him.
The ER would be required to collect his blood alcohol. Wondering what it was.
Reba must be a Blue Patriot.

Lillian St. Cyr, who acted under the name of Princess Red Wing, was born on the Winnebago Reservation and found movie stardom during the all-too-brief fad for Indigenous authenticity in American film. Here she is saving the hero in THE DAYS OF THE THUNDERING HERD.
Borat 2 was hit and miss but the Giuliani part was INCREDIBLE and it’s astounding to me that they were able to keep it in the movie, Maria Bakalova deserved danger pay for letting it go that far while staying in character, richly deserved Oscar nomination
RFK Jr and Olivia Nuzzi had a sexting scandal.
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

One of the smartest Presidents we've ever had, certainly the best educated. I'm sorry he let people down. He balanced the budget, and if Newt Gingrich hadn't wanted to be POTUS so badly, Clinton's legacy would have been gold. When the day comes, I will miss him.
And may the angels sing him to his rest.
I like the rebrand.
Unafraid to speak truth to power, President of the American Academy of Pediatrics Dr. Susan Kressly joins @vinguptamd.bsky.social on Meidas Health for a powerful discussion on truth, conviction, and her deep commitment to ensuring optimal childhood health for the nation amid chaos at the CDC.
I may have to start believing in God if He answers my prayers.
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
While I forgot my green, I was proud to welcome Ireland’s Ambassador to the United States Geraldine Byrne Nason to Kansas City for Irish Fest and to support our large, proud, and vital community of Irish Americans in Kansas City. 🇮🇪
An upcoming news conference with victims of Jeffrey Epstein could be “explosive,” one of the congressmen pushing for full release of the files on Epstein predicts. Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna said the victims’ accounts will force lawmakers to vote on a bill requiring DOJ to release its files.
If he starts dropping weight fast my money's on cancer.
