Have you considered getting opinion columns from writers who aren’t dumb as shit for a change? This is getting really old
I'm in it. Are they paying per book?
Hello from Washington DC, where hundreds of people and what seems like an unreasonable amount of police are assembling for the We Are All DC March This is the first pre-planned, DC-focused protest since the occupation began. Let's see how this goes 🧵
And now, your daily moment of schadenfreude “Reckless maniac” Jeanine Pirro was thoroughly embarrassed in court by a judge for bringing “implausible, illegal, immoral” cases and flushing “the rule of law..down the toilet” As grand juries have refused to indict DC residents in SEVEN cases Enjoy
The country is so poorly run we can’t receive packages from overseas anymore, and I’m not sure it makes the top 10 of the administration’s dumbest, unforced errors
Trying to understand how the WaPo believes there is an audience for a DC based WSJ-style news org with right-leaning editorials defending the indefensible.

Russia released video of themselves targeting and murdering Danish humanitarian volunteers working to remove unexploded ordnances from Ukraine. A few hours later Trump invited Putin to the FIFA world cup because “he’s been very respectful of me and of our country…”
British "Reform UK" (previously Brexiters - both movements funded and pushed by Russia) are openly begging the United States to annex the UK under Trump.
Warnock to RFK jr: "For the first time, we are seeing deaths of children from measles. We haven't seen that in two decades. We're seeing that under your watch. You are a hazard to the health of the American people."
Oh man, Rand paul makes a lot of sense here
Outrageous.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The District of Columbia sues to stop Trump's deployment of the National Guard in Washington.
When you stand up and fight; sometimes you lose and sometimes you win. But do you know what happens if you don't fight at all? Nothing.
So Rep. Massie stands up for Epstein victims, and Trump immediately goes live on the air to say he's an "insurgent" who should be “taken out”. What on earth is in those files?
i'm unflappable. i've never been flapped. you can't flap me
Well, IT WOULD BE QUITE SOMETHING 😂😂😂

Time to walk!

Dreamt a conversation between me & a comic-publisher/art director, maybe? Told her i was working on a comic, she said -sure, Pitch it! The second the storyline hit the intersections of “boxing, writing, and Jazz”, she gave me a firm “no.” Keeping it real over here😂 @simonrussell.bsky.social
The survivors of the #Epstein trafficking and rape network will speak out today (Sept 3rd) in D.C. at 10:30 am EST. Amplify their voices. #3E #OpDeathEaters
This is the one vote where your phone call might make a difference. It might be the only thing they're willing to resist Trump on, and it's only because the MAGA base is fired up about it.
I don’t know who needs to hear this but the National Guard of one state can’t invade another state. They are separate sovereigns
Still in grim mode. But i took a walk today. Its fall, in my mind. Here’s a few moments from that world.
Alaska vowed to resolve the murders of Indigenous people. But when one nonprofit asked state law enforcement officials for a fundamental piece of data — a list of Indigenous murders they’d investigated — the state said no. By @kylehopkinsak.bsky.social, w/ @adn.com
Here's the response from Paul Bryant, the Black veteran and lawyer whom the govt arrested in part bc he had a legal weapon in DC, to USG attempt to get him detained. It leans heavily into the lack of Body Cam proving he shoulder checked some Guardsmen. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Stop the presses!!! Heavens to murgatroid! Are you saying Benny Johnson lied about something!?!? Say it ain’t so.
Nooooo!! Safe travels, Mr. Greene. Thanks for sharing your gifts .✨
I don’t know if you all remember, but Sharice Davids was reelected in Kansas even after the GOP gerrymandered her district…
Uh subscribe to The Onion, by the way. For like one more week you also get a tote bag. membership.theonion.com
Trump is trying to repeal a roadless rule that prevents loggers from denuding National Parks—something they just announced and which public only has a few weeks to speak against insideclimatenews.org/news/3008202...
Blue states should team up on purchasing, protocols, distribution
This is Parker, she was shot in the head in Los Angeles for protesting ICE kidnappings and ethnic cleansing. She recovered and is now back to protesting because in times of fascism nobody can afford to do nothing. “We need everybody” “I call for revolution, it starts here” #3E
Absofuckinglutelynot
Imagine if Dems could take back the senate. (Long odds, I know.) Just the effect on the judiciary alone would be huge. Susan Collins has never been a moderate, and Trump has her vote anytime he really needs it. Maine has a better choice in @grahamformaine.bsky.social. Give him a follow.
If Missouri Republicans mid-cycle redistrict and break the law, they will be sued. That is a promise and I don't bluff. Just ask Texas. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

it was actually a gift, so im not sure where it came from. But there is a website on the box. Artist is @dejajoelle on IG www.themelanatedremedy.com/store-1/p/st...
Thx!! 😃😃😃😃✨✨✨
He’s thinking the gold complements his bronzer… (Lord hes pathetic)
That is an extroardinarily beautiful deck! Love to know the name of the artist. I’m melanin deficient but i might need to force that one into the budget!!
We won’t notice it at first Maybe an outbreak of cholera in southwest Kansas goes undetected Perhaps the number of flu related deaths ticks up just a bit each year But-ultimately, inexorably-the destruction of the CDC will lead to countless deaths All because of two men Trump and RFK, Jr
“We discern no clear congressional authorization by IEEPA for tariffs..Given these considerations, we conclude Congress..did not give the President wide-ranging authority to impose tariffs of the nature of the Trafficking and Reciprocal Tariffs simply by the use of the term 'regulate..importation.'"

The Boots Theory is an economic theory that people in poverty have to buy cheap and subpar products that need to be replaced repeatedly, proving more expensive in the long run than more than the expensive items the wealthy only need to buy once. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...
If cutting nearly $1 trillion in Medicaid and literally taking food from children's mouths by slashing SNAP were as popular as Mike Johnson claims, Trump wouldn't have begged Texas to enact an extreme, mid-decade gerrymander in an attempt to keep Republicans in control of the House
Portugal’s President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa: Trump is "objectively, a Soviet or Russian asset. He functions as an asset." In March, British Conservative Party MP Graham Stuart raised that Trump had been groomed by the Kremlin’s security services over a period of decades.
The (gestures calmly at the fire surrounding us) ….yeah. And the stars gave decided to read me for filth…. How dare they get so accurate. (Also im anti-Lana but i’ll let it pass bc Florence is dead on target💖)
Oh boy
Posting this story on Dem Mayors' effort to form a united front against Trump's invasions, bc it's the kind of story people will miss and then claim Dems never attempted to form a united front. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/u...
When Klansmen dynamited the 16th Street Baptist Church and killed four girls, the blast knocked out the face of Christ from one of the stained glass windows. TIME ran the image on their cover. Of course, that was way back when we still cared about our kids being killed. Ancient history now.

Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve on the Minnesota shooting: "The sad thing is we can't sit here and tell them that help is on the way. Because we're not going to do a damn thing about it."
I KNOW RIGHT? I guess i could sneeze my brains out and demonstrate the need for 6 Pepcid daily?
Might fall under things you take Immunosuppressors for- like MCAS, and Any arthritis that needs suppression to keep things like mast-cells from beating the crap out of our bodies.
Dem Govs and Health Secretaries need to organize a ferocious campaign of resistance to what Kennedy is doing to their constituents.
We did a whole declaration thing, went to war, and ratified it into our constitution. How do folks not remember this?
Sen. Patty Murray is calling for RFK Jr. to be fired. "We cannot let RFK Jr. burn what's left of the CDC and our other critical health agencies to the ground—he must be fired." "I hope my Republican colleagues who have come to regret their vote to confirm RFK Jr. will join me."

He’s terrified because Misty Copeland - all 4’9”?? Of her? Is more powerful physically, and respected globally, than he or President mango-tits ever will be.
.. It serms like every other week. No number of casualties is ever going to be enough. Thank you for your kindness. I wish we didnt need it.
I just found out about the Mpls school shooting. not my school district, I’m about half an hour away. I have a high schooler, and a college student. My extended family includes teachers, here. All i can think is that its going to happen here again. I’m nauseous. I keep crying. I hate this

DragonDiaries: The Roman diorama fire was a flaming success! (Cat told me not to make that pun) Am moving on to the scale model of the Hindenburg. However since that's a bit boring going to crash it into a model of the Empire State Building with a goblin in an ape suit at the top!
It was the bin of “very cute, but, no”😂
