Thanks to Robert Reich...
The beard is supposed to show you it's not the same guy.
Let's also remind everyone just how sloppy Trump's ICE is. Raided a house with US citizens in it last spring & forced the 2 teen girls to stand in underwear in the cold for hours. Wanna give those perverts the right to kill for funsies?
Family's from KY. Some fought on 1 side, or the other, or sat out rich man's war. In the years since 1865, my fam was more often successful as humane humans than wealthy ones, but had some wins there, too. Proud of your heritage? If yes but mostly 1861-5, what've y'all been up to since? Do better.
To the extent they could have survived, the Confederate soldiers charging in "Pickett's" Charge (really, Lee's bright idea) probably could have accepted that Lee wasn't the sharpest knife to emerge from West Point.
Isn't she in TX? Most states have laws prohibiting convicted sex offenders from being a certain distance from schools & other places. The town should sue to know when she's being let out so she can be followed.
Even if you never been in a union, you almost certainly have enjoyed protection of workplace safety rules and benefits unions fought for over decades (e.g., sick leave, overtime). But unions have also been key in battles for civil rights, environmental justice, etc. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...
Who would order ice to raid a firefighter crew actively fighting a fire? Everyone involved should be arrested. The agents/ officers all the way up command should be arrested for reckless endangerment of lives and property.
Good morning 😘 happy Friday ☀️☕️🥐🦋🌸🌻💜
US troops respond to the growing fears of the citizens.
Disease Trigger: microplastics in the water Trump admin: increase it! RFK: nothing to say.
Disease Trigger: PFAS in the water Trump admin: increase it! RFK: nothing to say.
What about the inflammation in his face? What's that come from? Big chronic disease: asthma. Trigger: air pollution. Trump admin: increase it! RFK: nothing to say.
If it works, how long before RFK & Trump ban this?
Trump isn't preventing Congress from protecting us. People voted in a majority of invertebrate Congress critters who writhe before this dying, superannuated, ajudicated rapist like worms after the rain. They could act independent of his will if they chose. They simply don't choose to.
Happy International Dog Day Here's Hermes, your man of the world. A Greek god who can perk ears like his Chihuahua kin but usually prefers to flop them down like his Dachshund brethren.
Happy International Dog Day! Meet the Rev. Hundry Tilney (see J. Austen's Northanger Abbey), one of my 2 dogs. He's a doxie mix. #InternationalDogDay #adoptdontshop #HappyFeetAnimalRescue #doxmix

JD Vance cannot remember the last time the US (& allies) forced a complete & total surrender? Whatever happened to celebrating our victories? Trump's too demented to recall, but JD's mighty young to have forgotten May 8 (VE) already. & Aug 15 (VJ) is erased from his lil' mind now? Sheesh
Remember, he signed it I mean who can blame if they made these great deals with the United States, took advantage of the United States on manufacturing, on just about everything - every aspect they took advantage of I look at some of these agreements and I say who would ever sign a thing like this
Isn't touching 15 year olds part of what people hate about Epstein? Careful what you wish for.
Relationship goals... (Vis a vis my relationship with the world)
So to clarify, "sensitive national security info" = Trump is much-closer-to-death-than-most-of-us who was nuts before dementia & poor blood flow (see ankles) further sapped his never-great brain?
Back at you
I view it as a recommendation list...
Before anyone organized a boycott, I decided against shopping at Target. Women (a majority of the US population) benefit from DEI. & we used to shop at Target. What over-remunerated, stuck-on-self CEO says f-off to the group comprising the majority of shoppers? Go run a pornsite, genius.
Black cats are great! Love mine!Adopt don't shop!

Didn't the USSR suffer unnecessarily when Germany first invaded during WWII because Stalin had fired/executed so many of the competent officers? Kinda suspecting the "lethality" campaign is boomeranging as we speak...
Nicely put.
Michigan gives us that right. Works better than term limits.
Happy Black Cat Appreciation Day Watercolor/gouache on black paper
Drunken Sot Peter H's idea of hyping lethality? Your $850 billion of DoD taxes at work.
Either v word works.
Isn't this just gorgeous?

Trust a New Yorker cartoon to explain why DC is enduring a Republican siege. Er, temper tantrum. Er, distractum?
Imagine calling other people "low-IQ" when you're incapable of learning, no matter how many times it's explained to you, that a trade deficit is different from a financial loss. truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT...
If you are a pro-Democrat group, why are you using Trump-groveling Zuckerberg's WhatsApp?
First, Vance is lying about "knowing" B Clinton went to the island 28 x. No flight records of him going at all. 17 flights, yes, but for trips that seem to be related to legitimate business. But not to the island. Second, where's the evidence H Clinton did anything?
I take his moving her to a posher prison after the full collusion of our corrupt DoJ as an admission of guilt. Also, what would Epstein's ex find "concerning" about Trump while she cheerfully helped Epstein? It's more an accusation than an exoneration.
Sounds like this survivor of Epstein and Maxwell is saying she'd take Trump pardoning Maxwell as an admission of guilt, which sounds like a smart message.
Why we can't have nice things: RFK Jr, DOGE, & the whole anti fact bias of MAGA.

Happy National Book Lovers Day! The most recent books I've read/am reading.
Time to revive (& slightly modify) a chant from the Vietnam era: Hey, hey RFK How many kids Didja kill today?
I would have emphasized the duckish quality to her lips more, but otherwise, no notes.
tRump is a genius but you can’t see his grades. tRump is healthy but you can’t see his medical records. tRump is honest but you can’t see his tax returns. tRump is innocent but you can’t see the Epstein Files. I'm beginning to think MAGA is not being entirely honest with America.
Is anyone shocked that Nepo Cuomo mentions Daddy & Grandpa, but seems to have never been mothered or grandmothered? Does such a Nepo even have a birthday? Did his dad just find him in a basket by the Hudson?
Maybe he has to keep reminding us about his dad because when he was a wee acorn, some wacked-out sciuridae squirreled him away very, very far from daddy's oak.
This week included a short zoom conversation with @jopearlceramics.bsky.social about their *amazing* art #Soil_Imaginaries Jo Pearl Sculpture – Jo Pearl Ceramic Sculpture share.google/oyczvR3gfaIM...
RE Grand Jury to investigate Brennan & Comey Why don't the statute of limitations apply to actions taken no later than Jan 2017? I am not saying any of the targets are guilty of anything, but even if they were, you can't charge them so long after, can you?
Noem's qualifications seem to be conforming her appearance to the Trump aesthetic for women, & bragging about her history of cruelty to dogs & indigenous people. & lying. Great job, Duck Lips! FEMA failed to staff disaster hotline after Texas floods www.npr.org/2025/08/07/n...
When you're a sex trafficker of girls, what constitutes "concerning?" A failure to pay up? Sympathy for them? Reporting their pimps to the government?
Listing paper straws as unequivocally evil, like bestiality, suggests someone a few tacos short of a combo platter. (Yes, I understand that was probably a "joke," unlike the nearly eternal life of plastic pollution). Is that why you speak of a straw man argument? ;-)

So they used Zoom instead? Perhaps too sober to use Signal & invite a reporter?
Record an infant with pertussis for a minute. No voiceover. Words on a screen. "Trump's HHS Secretary RFK doesn't think germs make you sick. He thinks if you're strong, you'll survive. So don't pity this baby coughing to death. RFK & Trump think we're greater when kids die from preventable diseases"
Do you remember when Obama first won & all sorts of folks said the US was post-racial (whatever that means) & the Repubs could never win again? Or after 1/6, Trump is done forever? I'm for what you're for, I'm guessing, but not believing the long-term predictions.
MI voters passed an initiative for Voters Select Pols several years ago. I recommend getting some funding for ads along the lines of "Want Term Limits? Keeping pols from selecting their voters has the same effect without changing the Constitution"
Certainly explains why Drunken Sot Peter H doesn't mind blabbing away about military plans on unsecured apps.
Seems like it must be time to spew another lie about trans folk.
If Trump really knew about business, he'd understand why the most accurate numbers were important to business.
When he & his brother first came on the scene, they were compared to Trump. But this guy seems to have a thought for his constituents -- indeed, to be capable of thought & coherence. Lucky Ontario. youtube.com/shorts/48j0y...
It's much better for a religion not to be shackled to a state, btw
Trump’s America: Brown asylum seekers are shipped to Alligator Alcatraz & El Salvador’s mega-prison—beaten, denied counsel, “welcome to hell.” Meanwhile Ghislaine Maxwell, one of the most notorious child sex traffickers in US History, gets quietly upgraded to a cushy Texas prison camp.
This is the Republican candidate for governor of CA. Does he mean sufficient murders will eliminate unemployment or that a camp like Auschwitz is a way of mobilizing a work force? Isn't Pervy Paws's Everglade hellhole supposed to do that? Didn't R's want to make antisemitism illegal? This is?
NBC covers general news. Local NBC stations cover local news, including evacuations for tsunami alerts. MSNBC describes itself to its viewers as being about politics. They will cover governmental failures rooted in putting private interests over public ones (see the gutting of NOAA).

After a late term miscarriage. I found Robert Frost's Home Burial. Told from a father's POV, it explores how each parent mourns differently & each talks past the other. It called me to remember my husband grieved, too, & we had to face this together or lose each other. Peace & healing 2 u both.
Not a drag queen. Just your garden variety MAGA Gestapo agent, arrested for rape, sex trafficking, and fraud among his many charges. MAGA is one huge sex trafficking ring at this point. www.kvoa.com/news/in-dept...
We're supposed to be so terrified of terrorist criminal gangs that we tolerate gross abuses of the Constitution, immigrants, naturalized citizens, natural born citizens, & veterans, but the Admin's got nothing better to do than use 1K FBI agents to vacuum out Trump?
Please remind us all again what horrific crimes this musician committed to deserve this treatment, essentially at the hands of Pervy Paws & the Puppy Killer.
People were justifiably angry at Democrats who either knew Biden was more ill than the public knew or didn't want to know. Now is the time to talk about the Republicans who are pretending the same about their god. No point in directly attacking Pervy Paws.

My mistake. Sorry to have made it.
This is what south FL mandates, re: withstanding wind storms, for new bldgs. A tent city won't survive 30 mph thunderstorms. Think anyone Trump dislikes deserves the death penalty? But what about the staff? We can't know their names or see their faces for their safety, but this ok?
Trump is promising freedoms to convicted, violent felon willing to perjure himself to convict Abrego Garcia of a non violent crime, after the administration already acknowledged he was swept up by mistake. www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/s...
Also, because of a large payment, he has allowed the family of a notorious cartel leader to live in the US. www.cbsnews.com/news/sinaloa...
This list doesn't specify women. A pro-rape admin, led by an adjudicated rapist, who destroys women's healthcare & employment opportunities, is not governing in a way safe for women.
“The … theory that Epstein was blackmailing powerful people with tacit government support was not crazy. (Unproven, yes. Impossible, no.) The crazy part was that this theory had been assimilated into the pro-Trump worldview. Epstein had been Trump’s buddy.” www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

If you live in a remote area, get one of these. My grandparents, who lived in rural Hardin County KY, had something like this back in the 60s. Loud squawks if any kind of severe weather's coming to your area. It works outside of cell phone areas. To camp in floodways, use it. a.co/d/fZrQNPM

The guy on the right simultaneously suggests that someone depose EVERYONE who might have been on the plane/island (incl. Pervy Paws?) & get that info out there & he's talking about Prez, AG, FBI dir & asst dir then having a "short" presser - only 5-10 questions - poof! Issue solved. Delulu much?
This is a sincere question: why doesn't he just have some forger create a list without himself on it? Put Dems on it, make up evidence, prosecute cases before Aileen Cannon, etc? How is there anyone in Trumpworld who is being coy about releasing something real when taking it is an option?
Does anyone think he wrote this? The "ideas" may be his, but he's using complete sentences.
Domestic terrorism has been present in every stage of American history. It was naive of me to believe this was in our past and time to make reparations. 😢
So much truth here. It was only about hate and cruelty the whole time.
