š§µ The detention of David Slagger, a disabled U.S. veteran and respected Wabanaki elderādespite his presentation of valid Tribal IDāis deeply troubling. Denying him access to life-saving insulin, threatening him with force, and refusing to honor his Jay Treaty rights was totally unacceptable. (1/4)
āActual issues that impact our real livesā In Chattanooga, Candidate for Governor Jerri Green (D) asks if folks care about rising grocery prices (YES), womenās rights (YES), or trans athletes (NO) @marshablackburn runs on it, but weāve had 0 trans athlete issues in Tennessee

We go to all the protests and also every Tuesday afternoon on the overpass.
Why Isn't Donald Trump's Declining Health Being Covered by Corporate Media? Where are the op-eds & news programs calling for Trump's resignation due to his declining health, impaired abilities, & march towards fascism? Oh, yeah, "both sides" corporate journalism. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...
The way that housing co-ops work in Switzerland may seem foreign to many. But the central idea is simple: What if homeownership had no profit motive and no capital gains? Advocates say their model could reshape how the world thinks about affordable housing. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/r...
Sure, maybe ten years ago it was, for some, a considerable accusation to make ā but not any more. Not for a long while. You'd have to be willfully ignoring so damn many things not to see it now. It sure AF looks like we have a pedofile sexual predator for a president. Release the Epstein files.
I just made this my bedtime story for all time. Thank you!
In Ghislaine Maxwellās Justice Department interview, she comes off as pathetic, loathsome, and utterly lacking in remorse. The entire operation was damage controlāan attempt to exculpate President Trump from his own involvement with Jeffrey Epstein.
Yikes, JD Vance better hope JD Vance doesnāt hear about this!

@govpritzker.illinois.gov made the same point as @governorwalz.mn.gov Enough of the damn "Dems in disarray" written-on-autopilot coverage. Or "how does this change odds for 2028?" The country is under attack. That's the story.

Meiselas: Stop both-sidesing it, media. Stop trying to sow division within the Democratic Party when we literally have military invasions into American cities, aided and abetted by red state governors, who, again, are the takers who wouldn't exist without the blue states

Few charts show our current American weakness like this one. The minute Trump came into office, Putin knew he had the green light to do whatever he wanted and kill as many innocent civilians as he wanted.
I need economists to tell me how soon the unhoused crisis in America could be solved with 1 million dollars a day as your budget? How many days would it take to house all the unhoused?
It's important to note that the movement conservative project was spearheaded by the Koch's and the Coors families, who started a "think tank" in 1968 called "The heritage foundation" Dr.cox books are a fantastic way to show why we are here: someone was angry they had to pay a little more tax
On that day, a rump Nazi government led by Grand Admiral Karl Dƶnitz was holed up in a naval academy gym on the Baltic coast, the Soviet flag had been raised over the Reichstag, Hitler had been dead for a week, and German forces controlled only the tiniest bit of ... Germany.
That aged poorly.
She was right all alongā¦ try and imagine how peaceful and pleasant it would be living in the USA if she was president
Take a moment to appreciate Harry Trumanās negotiating skills. He got Hitler to surrender everything, agree to Germanyās occupation and then shoot himself in the head.
College professor here. Fuck this. Your friend's daughter's professor is a disgrace. I'm going full Amish this term. Pen and paper. In-class discussions. No prideful buttons.

Continuing from the last post, letās be blunt. None of it makes sense. No one should be taking the word of someone convicted of sex trafficking minors. Sheās lounging in a āvacation prisonā after everything she did.

D.C. has more residents than two U.S. states. They pay more per capita in federal taxes than any other state. But they donāt get a serious seat at the table to decide how theyāre governed. D.C. statehood now.

He looks so very unwell and sounds it, too.
Especially when there are so many Black and Brown politicians standing up to him too without throwing other marginalized people under the bus. Nicole Collier, Michelle Wu, Al Green, Jasmine Crockett, Ayanna Pressley, Alex Padilla and many more. They just want a mediocre white male savior.
Heās lying.
One of our Town Council members last spring, at a hearing for the school budget spoke about the importance of school lunches and was clearly deeply moved with compassion as she spoke. We need more leaders like her.
Ossoff: "There is at some point is going to be a reckoning for all of this. These folks who are working at these private prison companies who are on Kristi Noem's staff right now, they are at some point going to have to testify under oath about what is happening in the facilities they're running."

Who's paying the price of Trump's tariffs? You are.
But he has the three branches locked up. He continues to dismantle it all with their help, and very swiftly.

Over the weekend, the āsandwich throwerā posters went up all over DC. Instant icon of resistance. A remix of Banksyās mural: not a Molotov, not a rock, but something just as disruptive, a hoagie hurled with defiance.
Reminder that Putin has never said he wants a trilateral meeting, had never said he would respect Ukrainian sovereignty, and has never said he wants to end the war. Not to be a downer, but the discussion of security guarantees is premature.
Thank you, Boston Globe. This is how it's done.
I love living in New England.
Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations. The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administrationās failures.
David Koresh-like. Completely creepy. And criminal to boot.
NEW: Texas Democratic state Rep. Nicole Collier is now officially SUING the GOP for locking her in the Texas House chamber.šŖ
Nothing new. This isn't the beginning of the campaign to undermine the will of the electorate. They've been at it for decades. It's been the plan since the minute the GOP discovered they can't win free & fair elections. You get that's why the whole "silent majority" propaganda exists, right?!?
Dear Smithsonian.......send your historical records to Canada before they're destroyed.

Nobody knows who will be Dem nominee in 2028. Zero of Dem prez in past 50 yearsāCarter 76, Clinton 92, Obama 08, Biden 20āhad even announced prez run at this point, though Biden had run before and lost. That's for later. For battle of *this* moment, support for the Govs leading the way.
I believe Baton Rouge has a higher crime rate than D.C. But if course itās not about crime. At all.
Bill Barrāthe AG when Epstein diedāwas in the hot seat today. But let me remind you: DOJ owes us the Epstein files beginning tomorrow. All of them. Client list included. (1/2)
Protect Absentee Voting in Maine Vote NO on 1 in November What is question 1? Question 1 is a direct attack on Maineās absentee voting system. 40% of Mainers voted absentee in the last election. If passed, Question 1 would dismantle the system nearly half of us rely on to make our voices heard.
