The consumerist period of hedonistic acquisition and exercise of power is more similar to late stage Roman Empire. Seneca warned luxury and consumer obsession eroded virtue, created social envy, and left people spiritually unfulfilled. It’s no different today, the harm is just as real.
What happens when vaccine coverage collapses in Florida because they are ending vaccine requirements for school entry? 1. Disease outbreaks that end up hospitalizing and killing infants too young to be vaccinated by responsible parents, the elderly whose immunity wanes, and the immunocompromised.
That pro-life part really loves death and destruction.
Who amongst us doesn’t mulch armed?
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"
Trump loves to talk about “warriors” and “lethality,” yet here we are—2,000 National Guard troops turned into the most expensive gardening crew in history. 1/3
Trump and Patel are getting bolder and more dangerous. — Alarm after FBI arrests US army veteran for ‘conspiracy’ over protest against Ice | Trump administration | The Guardian www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Great. No data can be trusted out of this administration.
Dalio is showing himself to be a LEADER in a sector known for its cowering and enabling. It never ends well for enablers. America is weaker because of Trump’s budget. America is weaker globally because of DJT🤡
Around 10 ICE agents showed up at Malcolm X Park to detain an unarmed man peacefully sitting on a bench. Wouldn't it be great to see them raking leaves instead of harassing innocent, harmless people and using the National Guard for free maintenance labor? What a total disgrace. #OnYourSide
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
What’s wild to me: NOW, media outlets & medical organizations are “stunned” by the damage RFK Jr. is doing to CDC, other health agencies, & public health. Me & my colleagues have been screaming about him for years. Years. Even more so in the last year. We were called hyperbolic. 1/
Ditto. And I love browsing Country Life UK looking at their properties for sale—this week a fixer upper castle. Then casually over dinner to my husband mentioning, “Can’t you imagine leaving all this fascist turmoil behind for a little cottage in the countryside and bonus-they have vaccines.”
Their proposal? A special panel (similar to the one created after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks) that would award them damages for what they claim were “unfair prosecutions.” The very people who fueled a violent insurrection now want the government to cut them a check.
Late is the hour in which both William Broad and the New York Times (www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/s...) express concern over the Trump administration's promotion of antiscience: 🧵

Guess she’s wanting something from 47. Raddatz just earned her place in history as a sellout. Cheap. Transactional.
Release the Epstein files.

…go along with RFK Jr anti science shitstorm. They have single handedly destroyed trust in critical institutions. Nothing feels safe.
I’m grateful to all of you scientists who post about what’s going on with vaccines and everything else. I can’t protect my vulnerable loved ones without verified information backed by science. We sure as hell won’t be trusting this administration. I’m waiting to see how doctors on base refute or
Trump wasn't seen yesterday by the White House press pool. He wasn't seen today. He has no public events scheduled this weekend. Trump hasn't been seen in public since Weds, and it's unclear if he'll be seen in public until Tues. That's pretty damn weird.
i assume he was quietly transferred to another server

🚨🚨🚨 This is why I take it to the streets every chance I get. THESE are official acts of the American government waging war on people who should have Constitutional rights. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THIS WILL EVENTUALLY TRICKLE TO YOU, your family?
They haven’t thought through the costs to the economy when people are sick and unable to work. They want a repeat of the pandemic without vaccines, masks and shutdown as retribution for last one. Cruelty is the point. And what about our troops? Just gonna let them go unvaccinated? Weak
So she’s terminal? Womp-womp
She’s knee deep in excrement of her own making. If we had a functioning congress, her unethical conduct with active duty service members regarding appropriations would have warranted a closer look.
A cult of personality. What could go wrong?
Read. Arrested firemen—helping Americans. More fascist and racist bullshit.
We’re going to go on a rant for a minute, and yes we’re bringing some history with us. Back in 1755, Benjamin Franklin wrote words that still echo today: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”
"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.
70 years ago, on this date, Emmett Till was kidnapped and brutally murdered by white men. His family, including his cousin who was with him at the time, is repeating the train ride he took from Chicago to Mississippi in 1955 to mark the anniversary
I have more faith in Kallas and Von Der Leyen to lead at this point…stop enabling authoritarians.
American thoughts and prayers after mass shootings will last a couple days. Imagine if that spirit of kindness and thoughtfulness looked in the mirror and finally changed their perverse gun culture. Canadians see this as a sickness.
people love bringing up japan when it comes to deporting immigrants/ creating a homogenous society, but if you bring up japan's anti-gun laws it's "woah woah woah"
AMERICA: “It’s a mental health issue.” REST OF THE WORLD: “We have those. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA: “It’s video games.” WORLD: “We have those too. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA B: “It’s cause they took Jesus out of the classroom.” WORLD: “God, you’re stupid.”
Your periodic reminder that people who blame “mental illness” for every mass shooting want to make it easier for people to get guns and harder for people to get mental healthcare.
A country where guns have more rights than school children, is a failed nation. 😡😢😭 3 dead, including attacker, and 17 injured in Minneapolis Catholic school shooting Source: Los Angeles Times share.newsbreak.com/eq8adzcc
Minneapolis Mayor, Jacob Frey, speaks during a press conference after a school shooting this morning at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. “There are no words that can capture the horror and the evil of this unspeakable act.” #GunControlNow
Daily, the news is horrendous. How to responsibly react and respond to all this tragedy with wisdom and courage is the test of our time.
I asked for the latest COVID vaccine this week at my VA clinic and they didn't have any. They said they are "out" but maybe more is on the way. The don't have an ETA.
Moore: "The thing that gets me most about this is how deeply disrespectful this is to members of the National Guard who signed up for this job as I did when I deployed overseas & led paratroopers in combat where we signed up w/the expectation the commander in chief was actually taking it seriously"
Here is the growing list of countries choosing to pause mail deliveries to the U.S. because of Trump's tariff chaos. Did anyone vote in 2024 to become the new Hermit Kingdom? Austria Australia Denmark France Germany India Italy Japan New Zealand Singapore Spain South Korea Sweden Thailand
Power has deluded them and they are enabling his behavior. Enablers usually get what’s coming to them-it never ends well. In this instance we all suffer.
A few hundred people from all four quadrants of Washington, D.C., plus Maryland and Virginia, gathered Thursday to protest the federal involvement in local matters. “Free D.C.!” The crowd near U and 14th Streets NW chanted. One sign read, “Hands off D.C.!”
“Comfort women”=Republican platform
Gov. Pritzker dropped straight facts. 🔥 We have another Democratic governor who’s a fighter. Keep it coming!
A defector from USSR is hot— Sean Connery always🔥
Another goalpost, moved. Revoking diplomatic visas over trade disputes is next.
A racist fucker killing small businesses throughout the District.

Cruelty is the point…one life and a thousand deaths. #KilmarAbregoGarcia #FuckFascism
Kick ICE out of Maryland, Governor Moore
Cruelty is the point
I wrote down some notes on privatization and the transfer of wealth. Tell the MAGA in your lives that they’re subsidizing billionaires by voting for republicans.
1965: "The Soviet Union is evil & communist for having government ownership of private companies!" 2025: "Isn't it super-cool that the United States has government ownership of a private company?"
This one is both showy and subtle in coloring-quite striking. Certainly unforgettable. 😊
Beautiful dahlia!
Today has been a very mixed bag so far but one of the nice bits was finding out they’d grown one plant of my favourite dahlia up at the zoo. I love this thing. I probably should have blown on it first, it’s a bit dusty 😃 🌼💛 #welshmountainzoo
Rooting for cardiac event but Covid seems more karmic…
Restaurant week in DC used to be a big deal for businesses and patrons. It’s sad what they’ve done. More businesses will go under. The nazis have a plan: buy more property on the cheap and move undesirables out. #Fascism #Racism

John Bolton is a brave and clear critic of Donald Trump. We interviewed him for season one of Autocracy in America, for the episode on alliances and kleptocracy www.theatlantic.com/podcasts/arc...

Authoritarian regimes frequently struggle to govern effectively because accurate information doesn't reach the leadership. Trump is basically designing a system to create this problem.
I think the World Cup should seriously reconsider having their event in the USA.
Such a scary thought. What is their aim? (rhetorical question of course) History is history. It should never be rewritten, yet it's happened so many times, especially for people of color. #Pinks #ProudBlue
This is so important… Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles. In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected. REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency. @governor.ca.gov 🧵
Any time he needs a distraction—he’s going to occupy a city or raid an opponents home or start a war …
How the fuck did this asshole become president? Twice?
Powell’s speech will be made amid a heightened period of uncertainty for the Fed, from increasing levels of dissent, to lukewarm economic data, to unprecedented political threats to central bank independence.
More fascism and racism.
FEDWATCH: “.. Powell has emphasized explicitly ‘price stability’ as a theme in every speech at Jackson Hole since 2018 ..”
Idiots everywhere. Did he help the economy the first time he was president? NO!
Will he fire Powell after his speech? Bulldozing seems more illustrative than chipping.
Fucking fascism
Today the temperature and cloudy skies felt like autumn. Cue the incoming seasonal malaise and yet this rose blossomed today. #DavidAustinRoses #Tessofthed’Urbervilles #Gardening #Nature

Trump is owned by Putin and he (Trump) is more obvious than Kim Philby.
Omg, JD Vance getting heckled by people yelling ‘COUCH F*CKER’ as he visits Union Station to survey Trump’s militarization of D.C.

Many people unfortunately don’t seem to be aware that in May, Prasad and Makary announced that the FDA was changing guidance for COVID19 vaccines to only those aged 65+ or those with a health condition that puts them at risk for severe COVID19. This is the impact of installing RFK Jr. at HHS.
This. 🎯

Ainsley reminds him of his daughter-sick. #EpsteinFiles
It’s also restaurant week which used to be a “big” deal in DC but who really wants to watch ICE run through a restaurant to the kitchen and start harassing and assaulting hard working Americans on the basis of the color of their skin.
Elvis would blush at this shit.
