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
I’m gratefully “a woman of a certain age” who’s curious about…everything. 🤷♀️

Happy Labor Day! “Solidarity isn’t just a term; it’s how we’ve achieved every protection that working families have today. The 40-hour workweek, workplace safety laws, and weekends exist because workers stood together and demanded them.” — Charles Barfield, Orange County Employee Association
This. They must go. Removing them must become a top Congressional priority or the deaths they cause will be on the hands of every member of Congress...and lest they think there be no consequences, those deaths will be mounting up by the time of next year's election.

An examination of more than 1,200 federal judges and state supreme court justices turned up dozens of judges who chose not to recuse when facing potential appearances of impropriety involving familial financial connections. (Published July 2024)
Judge: I got a call at 2:36 a.m. because the govt chose this time on a holiday weekend to execute this plan. I have been up since then. I haven't been able to reach anyone from govt until this morning at 9:30 a.m. So absent this intervention, all children would already have been sent to Guatemala!
Voters of Tomorrow has committed to spending $3M to put organizers on college campus in flippable Congressional seats. But we're still $3380 away from our August fundraising goal. Can you chip in to help us turn Congress blue? secure.actblue.com/donate/votho...
This is why Trump’s Big Ugly Bill increased ICE’s budget by $170.7 billion More than the military spending of most countries, and more than the US appropriated for the FBI, DEA, ATF and Marshals-combined Trump is amassing an army to employ against Americans in blue states And Illinois is up first
I used to work for VA and if I tell you how long it will take to recover from this...
Bernie Sanders proposes lifting the cap on income subject to Social Security taxes, which is currently set at $168,600. This will ensure that wealthy individuals contribute a fair share. This simple change extends the solvency of Social Security by 75 years and increases benefits for all.

🚨This OK lawmaker was found guilty of running a vehicle with his daughter and an adult relative off of the road and INTO a ditch, causing injuries — and he is STILL in office?!? Of course, he has a history of both domestic violence and law enforcement.
Normally they've booked 40% of their fall soybean sales to China at this point. This year, they are at 0% booked, and no, that's not a typo. www.farmprogress.com/soybean/us-s...
VA is a disaster right now. I generally don't trust the private sector with my healthcare, yet had wrist surgery three weeks ago at Baylor Scott & White in Dallas because VA couldn't handle it. First time I've had a major procedure or serious condition treated outside the military or VA since 1996.
🚨Priest uses his body to attempt to stop ICE vehicles in Broadview, Illinois outside of a detention facility that has refused entry to members of Congress.
This Labor Day, I urge you to join a Workers Over Billionaires protest. We must continue standing together to show Trump that we, the people, have the power – not his billionaire buddies and corporate cronies. bit.ly/4lMgKaR
Our national parks generated $56 billion in visitor spending and supported 415,000 jobs in 2023. The entire National Park Service budget was just $3.6 billion. That’s some return on investment — so why is Donald Trump taking an axe to our parks?

New acting director of CDC Jim O'Neill expressed being pro paid organ donation. "There are plenty of healthy spare kidneys walking around, unused."
Is he advocating for the poor to sell body parts ? Or does he envision taking organs from prisoners ?
The two victims of the Annunciation Catholic School shooting deserved to come home from their first week of school alive. Honor them by reading and sharing their stories. Give the shooter #NoNotoriety.
New details emerge in case against Republican who laced his granddaughters' ice cream with molly & cocaine. He claimed Dairy Queen laced the ice cream, but video shows it was him. He tried to create a fake crisis or wanted to rape his granddaughters. Typical Republican. www.wral.com/story/calls-...
No one who voted for Trump twice can claim ignorance.
This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.
Tulsi Gabbard released the names of CIA OPERATIVES! “It could potentially put CIA cover procedures at risk. It could put relations with foreign governments at risk.” The Predator in Chief picks all the best people...right? Not! www.thedailybeast.com/intelligence...
Because willies peed their pants.
Time to check on the home lives of those 18. Also internet searches. Something is very perverse.
"the dangerous logic of abdication: the belief that, faced with a rising threat to democracy, surrender is strategy, cooperating with an autocrat is survival, and sparing oneself or one’s party from immediate punishment is worth opening the door to long-term authoritarian rule."
Emotional exhaustion. I think that's part of the plan; wear us out until it feels so futile that we stop fighting and just accept the unacceptable.

This man is not even a doctor, nor has he had any medical training, but he claims he can diagnose kids who are walking by him in an airport.
This is evil, diabolical, depraved, and deeply, deeply sick. For just $10, people are buying and selling life-long trauma, terrorizing communities as if it were a game. These monsters must be hunted down, investigated, and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
It’s utter bullshit that the #Republicans wrecked millions of Americans lives so the filthy rich could get their ginormous tax breaks. Taxation without representation should have never been allowed #MAGA
I guess if I was a member of Congress I would be pretty unhappy that an agency leader talk to me informally would be considered a fireable offense.
Wow
More than 20 years ago, N.C. legislators passed a law requiring that landslide hazards be mapped across 19 mountain counties. But after only four of those counties were mapped, lawmakers gave in to developers who said it could harm property values. (Published May 2025)
Michigan Republicans are following Trump’s lead and defunding the police in a big way across the state. Horrible.
For years Brielle has taken my phone, and when I look back through my camera roll, she has filmed herself playing, and always ends the video with "Like and Subscribe " During her last hospital admission, she discovered ASMR videos, she thought they were so satisfying. Let her know what you think!

Father Michael Louis Pfleger a priest at the Sabina Catholic Church, a Black parish in Chicago's Auburn Gresham neighborhood has a message for Trump! Before you dare speak about any violence in Chicago, look into your mirror, and address the violence coming from the White House! 🔥
Catelin Drey just flipped a Trump +11 Iowa Senate seat! Democrats have now overperformed in 37 out of 38 elections so far this year.
Bellows: The DOJ asked for the sensitive personal voter information — not just of me and Maine voters, but of every Secretary of State… Do we really want the Justice Department checking to see if you’re a Democrat or a Republican before they make a decision about who to investigate?
This is how the current regime wastes taxpayer dollars fighting crime in Washington, D.C. There's no need to have the active military, the National Guard, or ICE deployed nationwide to fight crime! Fund the police instead & stop trying to intimidate Americans! #Voices4Victory
Less that Republicans are spineless; the entire GOP has unabashedly hung its dirty laundry on the line (profits over lives). Cutting off all aid has been the plan for decades: Survive or die. We’re not the “lone Marlboro Man.” We need a village. “Lord, what fools these mortals be!” (Shakespeare)
Iowa, like all states, needs proactive leadership, not “rubber stamp” acquiescence. Congrats to IA constituents!
This is Mississippi MAGA Governor Tater Tot Reeves. Tater is a trump lap dog who sends troops to DC, meanwhile his state is in a permanent downward spiral. That’s maga.
Trump doing this "bad Jew"="Palestinian" bit over and over again is a form of priming. It establishes a frame that draws on both antisemitism and anti-Palestinian racism at the same time.. His audience can then start blending those antisemitic and anti-Arab narratives into a conspiracy smoothie
Trump White House Seizes Control of DC’s Union Station From Amtrak
UPDATE: Governor Cook has issued a statement. “President Trump purported to fire me ‘for cause’ when no cause exists under the law, and he has no authority to do so. I will not resign. I will continue to carry out my duties to help the American economy as I have been doing since 2022.”
PRITZKER to Trump: “If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me — not time or political circumstance — from making sure you face justice under our constitutional rule of law.”

Palestinians bid farewell to 30 Palestinians, 15 of whom were killed when an aid recipient was targeted near Tahlia Roundabout, and 15 of whom were killed when a tent was targeted in the Mawasi area of Khan Yunis.
It was a clinic... it became a shelter. Children without homes, without toys... but they still have a smile. "Smile," said a child amidst the pain. As if teaching us the meaning of patience.
Palestinians bid farewell to five children and a woman from the Jadallah family who were targeted last night in an Israeli airstrike on their home in Khan Yunis. The only survivor from the family is the father, Majdi, who has special needs.
In front of this scene, all you hear is the echo of a mother's crying, her brokenness, and her helplessness in the face of a life that was cruelly taken from her. She didn't ask for much... just some security, and some of her right to live.

People ignorant of or denying facts seem to collect together. And we still outnumber them.
Gorsuch barks “never defy us.” Kavanaugh cries: “We’re not the policymakers.” And yet, in the dark, unsigned orders keep manipulating the law around Trump. Amazing what “neutrality” can accomplish when it only benefits one side.
Melania marrying Trump was only a transaction, probably arranged by foreign influence. Love was not an option. Whereas, Hillary & Bill had love that survived deep betrayal.
There are girls he’s holding in Concentration Camps. Trump & the Camp’s security detail need to be watched.
Kamala Harris nailed it. We warned everyone the stakes were too high to hand the guy built for Project 2025 another shot — but noooo. Ever have one of those mornings you just want to throw the window open and yell, FUCK YOU ALL? Yeah, that.
He looks and acts like a man dying. It will happen, hopefully soon but remember his power was always theater. Even if his health fails, the architects of Project 2025 remain. Celebrate, but know the hand inside the puppet still moves and their plans haven’t changed. #Resist
Jim Jordan defends Ghislaine Maxwell, Lavrov blows up Trump/Vance’s Ukraine lies, Trump seizes Intel stake, Melania vanishes, Trump prepares to invade cities with the military, Trump health issues under scrutiny, and more. A whole lot to catch up on:
“Don’t Tread On Me” refers to those doing harm, not their victims.
The second amendment guarantees the right to a militia to guard against federal tyranny. But if a president can use that force against its own state, against the wishes of that state, then it is no militia at all and a clear violation of the second amendment.

Alice Correia Barbosa was in a car that was suddenly surrounded by unmarked vehicles and was "disappeared" by “agents” did not cite a reason. Nothing creepy and mysogynistic about this at all.
Weren’t they supposed to be STOPPING car jackings? Not committing them!
“…those ‘pretend’ men….” There, I’ve corrected it for you. And may shame follow them wherever they go. Their reputations will smell of Trump’s evil doing even after he dies off.
Everyone will remember who started this race to the bottom...the mob boss FELON Donald Trump, who told Texas Rs to give him 5 seats. He loses the House, it's endless investigations into his rampant criming in the WH...& on the Hill. (Lazy media: he's not leaving the WH either.) 🧾 is.gd/TZKAVs
23 of Epstein’s victims have testified in court. In an August 2019 hearing, 22 women spoke about the abuses committed by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. 4 women testified at Ghislaine’s trial. Investigative reporting has identified roughly 80 survivors in total. 🖕🏼👇🏼 www.justice.gov/maxwell-inte...
Texas is stealing 5 seats—more red states are lining up. California can’t carry this fight alone. We need more blue states stepping up on redistricting. If you live in a blue state, contact your governor now Here’s why 📌CA: Up to 5 seats possible 📌IL: 0–1 seat possible 📌NY: 1–2 seats possible
Donald Trump says he is going to deploy the National Guard to Chicago. This is what weak men do to pretend they’re strong. Stay safe, stand with your community, and most importantly, know your rights:
Life changing
Yes. Collapsing all fed law enforcement into one undifferentiated, untrained, masked force. "Agents said they worried the changes would transform the FBI from an investigative agency focused on national security into something more akin to a federal police force..." www.nytimes.com/2025/08/21/u...
A couple of interesting things about the Ghislaine Maxwell/Todd Blanche audio recording: it's not one continuous recording. It's broken up into 7 parts on day one, and 4 parts on day two. Further, Todd Blanche says he spoke to Maxwell off the record for several minutes before the recording. 1/
And Blanche is buddies with Maxwell’s attorney. There is ZERO chance that the performance wasn’t carefully scripted by both parties. Z-E-R-O!

I’m so jealous of you—& the cops receiving them.
