Heās providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
WE'RE ABOUT TO PUT A MEMECOIN OUT š
NEW: Many of the unaccompanied minors who Trump is trying to traffic to Guatemala today are in foster care - some of which seem to be Christian facilities. These 10 represent a putative class of nearly 600 children nationwide. Our government is trafficking children.
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."
Tell me this America not Canada, please
Yes,with a clear actionable plan.
I don't think "bet it all on the midterms" is a better strategy now than "bet it all on 24" was in 21, but if we're doing it anyway, I'd like to see the authors of that strategy at least working right now on the question of "how do we protect and encourage minority voting if ICE is at the polls?"
So, it would be bad to point and laugh right? Right?
NEWS: Trump and House Republicans' budget cuts seek to eliminate the HOME affordable housing program thatās built/rehabbed 1.3M homes in 30 yrs, including 540k in rural areas. 84% of those homes are in districts that voted for him. Rural families now face losing their lifeline.
Brand-new publisher Acorn & Ink is seeking shorter works--10,000-15,000 words. But...its terms are horrible: a flat fee and no royalties for a 20-year (!!!) contract, or royalties with a back-end vanity arrangement (no royalties till Ā£300 recouped) AND a 20-year contract
That fucking guy
I saw this yesterday driving to Costco and though it was one of the best stickers I've ever seen.
The entire fascist plot relies on us being terrified and sad. This is why theyāre constantly trying to scare everyone with theatrics. They want you to see him as unstoppable and not as a 79-year-old with severe health problems who will die soon.
CEOs are trying to convince you that quiet quitting is worse than wage theft, while they plan on replacing you with a robot. Unions know better. Happy Labor Day Weekend.
My dad told me his password is: MickeyMinnieGoofyDonaldPlutoHuey LouieDewevDublin. Because he was told his password had to contain 8 characters and at least one Capital.
Whenever you try to talk to an American patriot about even the basics of their nations history.

Wish I'd thought of that. Perfect!
Americans once assumed their kids would be better off than they were. But business professor Scott Galloway says today's economic policies work to enrich Boomers and steal from younger generations.
Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Streetās 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.
This is why Republicans have to cheat with maps. They can't win on policy.
If we have to become an authoritarian state, can we at least get eco-cities, bullet trains, and renewable energy?
Yup
If youāre in favor of shutting down museum exhibitions or banning books because they make you feel bad, thatās a pretty good tip that you deserve to feel bad.

Why donāt you send everyone proof of life first? (Either way, Chicago doesnāt want you here)
YES! Thank you... Say it again, and again, and again. They are not "illegal immigrants". - seeking asylum is legal and has been since 1951.
Some personal news: My Son is officially canceling his second coming until yāall are actually ready to listen to Him.
He posted this. I am taking it as what is coming is a blood clot. who is with me?
Why do you appreciate unions? Iāll start: Weekends off Paid vacations Work breaks Sick leave Paid holidays No child labor Safer working conditions Health care and retirement benefits
My reporting uncovered the existence of DoJ training videos instructing FBI personnel on how to flag Trumpās name in the Epstein files. Iām suing to get the videos under FOIA. substack.com/@muellershew...
The amount of mass shooters since 2018 who were transgender is 4. The amount of mass shooters since 2018 who were not transgender is 4,193 Transgender individuals represent less than 1 percent of perpetrators in all mass shootings over the past decade, according to The Gun Violence Archive (GVA)
When it happens, itās going to be like this on the socials:
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
Genius
Mexico has a real leader
At least SOME countries recognize the value of NATURE and all its offerings.
Let that sink in.
And can't spell lab.
Corporate Americaās playbook: 1) Exploit workers to maximize profits 2) Use profits to buy Congress 3) Use Congress to pass union-busting laws 4) Use these laws to further exploit workers 5) Repeat Let's break the cycle and keep building back a powerful labor movement.
Let the record show that I have never in my life hoped to hear that someone is dead as much as I am right now.
CHICAGOā¦
Labor has always been on the frontlines in the fight against fascism ā and today is no different. Unions are fighting Trumpās cruel agenda in the courts and in the streets, and workers across industries are standing up for each other. Thereās courage ā and hope ā in solidarity.
Thanks Biden
The NextGen Acela trains, as Amtrak calls them, are faster and lighter than the current fleet. They're scheduled to start revenue service along the Northeast Corridor on Thursday.
A literal FIST FIGHT just broke out on the floor of the Mexican Senate, as members cash over United States involvement in taking out Mexican cartels
America needs to mind it's own business. Over all Mexico is doing it better than us.
A very strong & powerful resignation letter from Dr. Daskalakis calling out RFK jr. āI am unable to serve in an environment that treats CDC as a tool to generate policies and materials that do not reflect scientific reality and are designed to hurt rather than to improve the publicās health.ā
I don't follow celebrity social lives. Like at all. I often look like the dipshit in the room for not know who is dating whom. So I watched an interview with Swift/Kelce to see what this was all about, and y'all, as a man who has been in love with the same woman for 30 years, those kids are in LOVE.
This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends weāve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.
CDC Dir. Susan Monarez had 2 lines she could not cross: she wd not do anything illegal, & she would not do anything that ran counter to the science. RFK Jr asked her to do both- remove CDC leaders without cause, & endorse recommendations that did not represent the best science So he fired her
Good idea. Same plan as gun control.
You are a wise man

Thereās a reason Dr. King's historic 1963 rally was called āThe March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.ā As he warned the nation, "We all too often have socialism for the rich and rugged free market capitalism for the poor." Real freedom requires economic freedom for all.
Iāll be real with you: not even a Cybertruck owner deserves this
Mmm, I like the idea of doing something
āThank god for IVF so I could get pregnantā āActually god made you infertile, science made you pregnant. So itās thank science actuallyā
Newsom: Perhaps the president could deploy the National Guard in every corner of Mississippi. Murder rate is out of control there. And the governor may want to make that phone call.
Foreign doctors have been serving as medical volunteers, but must be approved by Israel to enter Gaza. The World Health Organization says denial rates have increased by 50% since March.
Remember when COVID vaccines were first available? Remember how they saved lives and helped us move toward normalcy? Remember how relieved and grateful we were? Remember how amazing our healthcare workers were? Remember how science rescued us?
I sincerely think we have to accept the fact that the midterms are not going to be clean, fair and safe. This administration cannot lose and they are desperate. If they figured out how to hack the machines via a cable in 2024, they will do it again. We need to stop it, by exposing it.
He is an idiot.
DO NOT PUT CHILDREN ON TV TALKING ABOUT A SHOOTING THEY JUST LIVED THROUGH The media who do this are heartless bastards
We arrived so sorry.
RFK Jr. will kill Americans, sure as death. You have the GOP to thank you for that.
For SURE!
Hi, immunologist here: (a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes) RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can āsee in kids faces that they have inflammationā Thatās NOT how immunology works. He is an anti-science profiteer. Start calling him such.
Very wise. We also have lost oversight of water purity. Buy anywhere else not USa
The Department of Homeland Security is reportedly barring states and organizations that receive government funds from helping undocumented immigrants. This will make it harder for the most vulnerable people to get help in the aftermath of disasters. It was always about cruelty.

This seat had been in Republican hands for 13 years. When we are organized and support strong candidates who are focused on the issues that matter, we can win. Let's keep this going.
Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond. Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around. Get involved with the @democraticredistricting.com as they fight back: bit.ly/3HJ1ayW
Nice, I love simple practical ideas.
We are top. Good job Mom
Mother Earth is watching. Don't be complicit.
Thank you for clearing up a blind spot for me. I appreciate your knowledge and candor
35 years ago yesterday we lost Stevie Ray Vaughan in a helicopter crash. He was also 35 years old at the time of his death. SRV is considered to be one of the most influential musicians in the history of blues music, and one of the greatest guitarists of all time. ā¤ļøšµšø youtu.be/t54xyIcgbks?...
Starbucks CEO pay: $96 MILLION Starbucks worker pay: $15,000 Coca-Cola CEO pay: $28 MILLION Coca-Cola worker pay: $14,000 CEOs used to make like 20x the average worker. In 2024, the average CEO earned 632x more. The system is rigged.

If someone tells you there's nothing we can do about gun violence beyond thoughts and prayers, remind them: āGun laws in other countries have prevented mass shootings āMore guns don't make us safer āA majority of Americans want gun reform We don't have to live like this.
To the Bluesky community and everyone who follows and fights.
Ed āBig Ballsā Coristineāwho worked tech ops for Elon Muskās DOGE projectāis under FBI investigation for data theft. This is the same 19-year-old who was linked to a cybercrime ring earlier this year.
We have a planet. We have an atmosphere around it. We are fucking it up. We need to stop it. Thanks.
The new shots from Pfizer, Moderna and Novavax are approved for all seniors. But the Food and Drug Administration narrowed their use for younger adults and children to those with at least one high-risk health condition, such as asthma or obesity.
Those who have the power to stop mass shootings can go to hell with their "thoughts and prayers." Do something about it, you evil bastards.
I feel bad for David Muer, he is capable of so much more.
