Fact-checkers working hard to keep up…
These are evil times… Terrible humans, doing terrible things.
Hard to express to those not in the weeds just how much the current state of the immigration detention system is just utter chaos.
The Spanish PM said this at Columbia University yesterday: “Defending your country is one thing. But killing 60,000 civilians, bombing hospitals, and starving children to death is something else entirely.” “We are witnessing one of the darkest tragedies of the 21st century unfold before our eyes.”
Those who don't know their history, repeat it.
If you protested Jimmy Kimmel being pulled off the air by canceling Disney+ or some similarly simple action that had clear, direct, effective results, it feels good that you helped get him back, right? The neat part of you can choose another simple action, and keep that awesome feeling going.
Only 40 a week, I feel like I get that many in one day… So very tired of all my donation $ being used to “ask for more donations”.
They really seem to enjoy shooting themselves in the foot…every partisan decision they make will (eventually) hurt them too. 🤦♀️
I see what you did there…
That’s delightfully refreshing.
Yes, there are at least 4…
This just in from Sinclair: "Beginning Tuesday night Sinclair will be preempting 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' across our ABC affiliate stations and replacing it with news programming. Discussions with ABC are ongoing as we evaluate the show's potential return."
You’re much closer to becoming disabled or homeless than you are to becoming rich and wealthy. It’s not a moral failing. It’s not something you can “try harder” your way out of. We need robust social supports & safety nets to ensure everyone is properly cared for.

This is the way.

““There is courage everywhere we look,” Crow said. “We have not yet lost our power. “
You’re gonna have to make this a video…cause ya know he don’t read.
ABC should know that the public does NOT support it bowing down to Sinclair in a textbook attack on free speech. I don't know if they'd open potatograms or glitterbombs, but we can at least flood them with letters and postcards. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
🥲 They spoke at my college graduation. Good people. Thank you Jerry.
Please be sure you have an “immediate” plan to spay or neuter a stray/feral cat before you provide them the resources (food) to make *many* more stray/feral cats.
“What we have is fragile and precious.”
This is a 9-0 Supreme Court decision from just last year.
Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly. sbgi.net/tv-stations/

I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.
Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?
That asymmetric fence is so lovely. Excellent composition.
This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.
We are so far off the rails…
This will not end well for any of us.
What could possibly go wrong?!?! 🤦♀️
"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

Oh no! How will the insecure soulless ghouls measure their place in the “pecker” (size) order now?!?
This rollover for the criminals and kleptocrats who hide in U.S. shell corporations is a real national security problem.
Facts are facts: Right-wing extremists account for the overwhelming majority of extremist-linked deaths in America.
Facts do not seem to be important to the MAGA crowd…
WASHINGTON (AP) — Applications for US jobless benefits jump to 263,000 last week, most in nearly 4 years.
There are violent extremists on the left but they are not in charge of the party. You can find them on social media, not in the halls of power. The violent extremists on the right are in congress, on courts, and sitting in the Oval Office.
“While we cannot know for certain what happened on that plane on that fateful day, investigators believe that before the passengers of Flight 93 stormed the cockpit, throwing themselves between the terrorists and our government, and downed the plane, they took a vote.”
Same.
Spread calm. Tell the truth. Defend vulnerable people who are under attack. Getting stuck in a reactive mode is exhausting, and exhaustion can make us weak.
Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.
Here’s a story that’s becoming all too common: federal immigration agents using racial and ethnic profiling as a rationale for stopping, questioning and detaining U.S. citizens who they suspect are undocumented.
New report from @ember-energy.org finds the world installed 380GW of new solar power in the first six months of this year, which is up 64 percent from the same period last year. Which was of course a record-breaking pace, because that's all solar does now is break records and blow past forecasts
Typo much?

During National Suicide Prevention Month and on 988 Day, let’s remember mental health care is health care. In Congress, I’m committed to destigmatizing mental health care and expanding access to resources for ALL. If you or someone you know needs help, please dial or text 988.

"Those living in the worst 10% of areas for PM2.5 pollution had a 27% higher risk of developing heart failure, compared with people in the least worst 10%. "The risk of having a stroke was 7% higher for people in the areas with the dirtiest air" www.theguardian.com/environment/...

My quote of the day Compassion is sometimes the fatal capacity for feeling what it is like to live inside somebody else's skin. It is the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too. Frederick Buechner

If you think that due process only applies to citizens then ask yourself what you would do if someone accused you of being a non citizen. Either we all have due process or no one does. The Constitution affords the former. SCOTUS has unleashed the latter.
Jeffrey Epstein had doctors prescribe birth control and sedatives to his victims. They also screened his victims for STDs. He had dentists work on their teeth. I’d like to know who these people are and why they have been protected.

The de minimis rule that allowed small packages worth less than $800 to be exempt from tariffs ended on Friday, Aug. 29, 2025.
Couldn’t have said it better myself…
Authoritarians thrive on your silence — be loud — for America.
I stumbled on this last night and it's kinda terrifying, sponsored by 7 Repubs and I wonder if they will try to force this. into the reconciliation package. Ask why they are OK with a foreign born VP. #HR2356
More than 300k Black women being pushed out of the labor market while white men gained 365k more jobs is what we mean when we refer to racism as systemic.
Changing the name of the Department of Defense will cost billions.We could build units for all unhoused veterans. Or give service members a pay raise so 35K active duty members wouldn’t have to rely on food stamps. Or… or… or…
Dude has a master degree in electrical engineering from MIT. Dude is deliberately lying for his own personal financial gain.
Reminder: At the start of his legal career, RFK Jr. failed the bar, was forced out as a D.A., and got arrested for heroin. Without the Kennedy name, that story ends there.
We live in a weird world...
💜
This is very accurate
“The Trump administration gave more taxpayer dollars to farmers harmed by the administration’s trade policies than the federal government spends each year building ships for the Navy or maintaining America’s nuclear arsenal”
Repeatedly. Provably.
RFK Jr. rolled out that old chestnut again about how healthy Americans were in the 60’s, so here’s a fact check. In 1965: -42% of American adults smoked; it’s 11% now. -The infant morality rate was 24.7/1000; it’s 5.6/1000 now. -Overall life expectancy was 70 years; it's about 77 years now.
The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.
Support for vaccinating kids against infectious diseases dropped from 81% in 1991 to 51% last year We are getting dumber as a society
“we will not stop until survivor voices shape justice, transform culture, and define the future. We are no longer whispers. We are one powerful voice, too loud to ignore, and we will never be silenced again.”
“under the law, a family earning less than $50,000 a year would get less than $300 in tax cuts in 2027 while losing access to Medicaid and food assistance, while a filer earning more than $1 million would receive about $90,000 in tax breaks. “
NEW analysis on the GOP megabill's core policy choice: each millionaire's tax cut is paid for by taking away health insurance from 4 people while reducing health care benefits from many others.
They keep losing in court because everything they’re doing is illegal
About this Florida vaccine story: When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough. We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated. “Oh, they’d have died.”
