If only he'd had the balls to recognize genocide in Gaza.

I think this is right on the nose. We really shouldn't have agreed to border security only, or even primarily, and we shouldn't have embraced the Trumpian remain in Mexico policy.
Who knew a little lizard would track a toy like that? Looks fun.
That would be their excuse to massacre innocent people in the streets.
Just a youngster then?
We’re all complaining about the poor quality of journalism in the MSM, and rightfully so. Here’s a solution: don’t use it. Fewer views = less revenue. They respond to the marketplace same as any other business. I get 90% of my news from NPR…and I contribute every month.
Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:
Yet Trump regime bans Palestinian diplomats from US for UN General Assembly but allows Netanyahu into US who has slaughtered and oppressed countless Christian and Muslim Palestinians in Gaza and West Bank.
Ukrainian intelligence says Russia’s top tank maker depends on more than 260 Western-made machines that require foreign parts and updates — exposing a major gap in sanctions. www.kyivpost.com/post/59254
The moderation system here at Bluesky @safety.bsky.app is really amazing. An impersonator account scamming people was taken down within five minutes of reporting. The block function is nuclear. I can hide offensive replies, and even replies to replies. I truly feel safe here. Thank you @bsky.app
So are we in a Weekend at Bernie's situation right now?
I'm just gonna flip on some corporate media really quick... ABC: ads CNN: ads Back to CNN: Trump's Chicago "immigration enforcement" MSNBC: Protests in Chicago Back to ABC: A "federal judge getting in the way of Trump's immigration crackdown" Back to CNN: Weekend travel Nothing about Trump MIA
Will they present the award at Four Seasons landscaping?
A sea turtle surfacing by a MASSIVE school of rays near Clearwater, Florida a couple days ago. Another post into the BluSky void. Maybe 2 or 3 people will see this one and my time won't have been wasted. I'll keep trying a little longer. #nature #animals #amazing #wildlife #awesome #ocean
Who are the heirs of Stalin? Not Ukrainians who served in the Red Army to fight Hitler if that narrows it down.The principal heir of Stalin,is Putin's brutal totalitarian state. Similarly did Ukrainians who rejected Stalin and served in Hitler’s army, lock today's Ukraine into nazism? No,not at all

Pressure Israel to stop the new Nakba in the West Bank and end the seige against life saving famine relief into Gaza immediately.
That's easy it's a huuuge cover up. Maybe he'll sway to the Village People at the podium for 45 minutes instead.
All the better if he leaves our economy in ashes, if he's working for Putin. We're already serfs for the billionaire oligarchs.
The tail is wagging the dog,but I like dogs, snails, and puppy dog tails. Listen to Trump’s victims, uncover everything hidden in the Epstein files by other means if we can: like the suspicious activity reports from the treasury department; the FBI agents who were ordered to redact mentions of Trump

I think the US doesn't forget assaults on shipping and against our navy but we should be unified if we're at war with Iran and Yemen,with Israel acting as the proxy for the West as we defend their war crimes and genocide. Why isn't Israel excluded for human rights abuses? Nuclear weapons agreements?
I think Israel's self defense isn't the genocide cleanse-and-scrub- all they would like it to be. Maybe Israel's regional enemies are acting rationally while the US and Europe employ Israel as a mercenary force against them. Why is it barely of note that Yemen's leaders are assassinated by Israel?
Didn't a majority of white people vote for Barack Obama? I happen to be white, so I can feel that I take some undeserved fire for my skin color. But okay. My feelings can get hurt and be in the dirt. I know in a way we're just emerging from slavery, and they're trying to bring back Jim Crow.
It's hard to vet those media oligarchs. They can easily be in the tank for fascism.
I love Neil Katyal but I cannot bear to hear Jake Tapper. I feel tremendous loyalty to President Biden whatever maladies a long life well lived may offer to us all. The searing elephant turd in the room as always is Trump’s cognitive decline. Well, that and US complicity with genocide in Gaza
You're in good company.
I won't keep tabs on him when he's in prison.
No, democrats will not respond. They are literally keeping their heads down banking on a backlash election victory same as always. Their job is not to establish a lasting majority or fight the fascists. It’s to contain and destroy and leftward movement. They excel at that job.
Huge news - appeals court rules that a majority of the President’s tariffs are illegal. The President is wreaking havoc on our economy, and he is breaking the law to do it. We must right this ship. We need sane trade policy again.
Wow. Why is there still a seige against famine relief entering Gaza?
Children are starving. Hospitals are bombed. Journalists are killed. Trump and Congress must stop all military aid to the extremist Netanyahu government. No more excuses. We cannot continue to be complicit in these war crimes.
I think it's time for Israelis to emulate the protesters who stood up to tanks in Tiannaman square to end the starvation imposed by Israel's seige against humanitarian famine relief into Gaza.
I was thinking a wall sized Southpark, Trump in Bed with Satan could become an acquisition for the Smithsonian and should become the official portrait of Trump in the Whitehouse.
Yay!
Yippee

I think his corruption guides our foreign policy vis a vis Putin's Russia versus Ukrainian democracy. Why else would he so quickly surrender Ukraine’s right to enter Nato? I think fear and greed make him favor Putin.
Seccession isn't what we'll need soft or otherwise. We aren't insurrectionists threatening democracy, Trump and Roberts are, by contemplating a unitary executive, to win by any means,if they cannot win at the ballot box. We need to launch legal challenges to using the US military to silence dissent.
"Twenty-three Democratic attorneys general now gather on near-daily Zoom calls at 8 AM Pacific, which means the East Coast officials are already on their third coffee. They divide responsibilities and share templates for lawsuits they’ve been drafting since last spring."
I think there may be other ways to substantiate the financing of child trafficking through the Treasury Departments suspicious activity reports generated from Epstein's bank accounts and the letters from FBI agents to Sen Durbin outlining the information they redacted containing references to Trump.
It’s clear that the main goal of the Maxwell interview was to get her to say that she didn’t see Trump do anything wrong. Which can only mean that there is something in the files that suggests that he did. Why else would she need to say that? The interview is more incriminating, not less.
That is repugnant.
It’s tragic that they didn't realize how much they rely on federal funding as they were burned by their dear leader and little Mike Johnson.
Plus he's from Illinois which is another target for Trump.
@rokhanna.bsky.social: “Only 3% of the documents given to the [House] Oversight Committee are new. The rest are already in the public domain. Less than 1% of files have been released. DOJ is stonewalling.” khanna.house.gov/media/press-...
He is a very stable genius whose bitcoin investments are going bust, all that laundered donor money squandered. Maybe Putin and the Saudis will still prop him up. Like cats toying with a mouse.
Just A Friendly Reminder…
Thank you for fighting back. Your leadership alongside other Blue State governors can help us keep our democracy. What kind of legal strategies can you embark upon together? All of these false emergencies in places which vote against Trump. It looks like insurrection and quacks like a duck.
From the Guardian…
Oh joy.
Our very stable genius may tank our economy yet. He's successfully screwing the poor and the middle class and alienating our closest trading partners and showing nothing but deference to Putin and Netanyahu. Will Deutsche Bank pull his chestnuts out of the fire before Christmas?
Thank you for the more complete context. So the lie he told still reveals the truth even more damningly.
Hopefully this will not result in standoffs between the national guard from one state or another, but be resolved in federal and state courts before it comes to that. Governor Pritzker is right to fight back. Every state facing this overreach from Trump should fight back together in court.
10/10
I can understand why you feel confident that we'll still have free and fair elections this year and next.
This is an important "clip". Elias makes the very valid point that, during the 2016 Election, the media (and rational people on the whole) pretended the campaign's rhetoric was a pipe dream, a joke, something that couldn't happen b/c "Who says that??" He does. He did. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2bc...
Deploying the military to upend the ballot counts in places likely to vote for democrats prefigured by what's happening now in 19 Blue states.
Hahaha
The Trump administration or, Trump regime to capture their foreboding evil nature, is where they were five months ago asserting that Ukraine can never join Nato, and by extending deadlines for sanctions against Russia repeatedly, still trying to give Putin everything it wants against Ukraine.ĺ
They may give me a survey, but it lines me up to make a donation. Signaling that they don't actually care what I think. Similarly, I remember when democrats allowed Manchin Sinema to refuse to surrender the filibuster to win voting rights and gun limits abortion rts then they redoubled canvassing
Uhhhh no. They've back ended a lot of the worst changes so that voters won't notice. Rural hospitals are often funded through medicaid.
That fucker is a liar! Even now as his brain turns to mush. He said recently his conflict with Epstein arose because Epstein took one of his golf spa employees. In effect confessing that they were trafficking young women and girls from Mara Lago.
Haha. I know I make that wish.
They never quite get there

www.rescue.org Today honors people distributing humanitarian aid in Gaza despite Israel's illegal seige against famine relief in a place where forceable starvation is ongoing and expected to claim 36,000 lives in the coming months.
Gavin would flip the script completely if he announced that California is divesting from Israel and that he will not be taking any money from AIPAC. Now THAT would be a BOLD move.
We know TX is running out of water to drink and frack. Did you know PA is as well? "Hydrologic Conditions Monitor shows low flow water conditions have triggered water withdrawal restrictions on 49 withdrawal points in Pennsylvania, including 47 water withdrawals related to shale gas development."
Russia launches hundreds of drones and missiles at Ukraine in largest attack in weeks
Ossoff: "There is at some point is going to be a reckoning for all of this. These folks who are working at these private prison companies who are on Kristi Noem's staff right now, they are at some point going to have to testify under oath about what is happening in the facilities they're running."
Trump has committed treason. In an actual Democratic republic he’d be in jail or worse. But Trump being president again proves we live in a corrupt oligarchy.
Rhetorically from the river to the sea earns condemnation from everyone in power, but Israel enacting forced displacements and ethnic cleansing in the West Bank piled upon crushed bodies and buildings and starvation enforced by a seige against Gaza that's okay. No overtly inflammatory rhetoric
Israel approves major settlement project that would divide West Bank
300,000 Israelis protesting against genocide in Gaza
It's like 1930's Germany
"The Democratic National Committee has fallen far behind in the cash race." There is a connection between fighting the fight and seeing donations. There is also a connection between listening to the base over big donors. Look forward to the DNC figuring that out www.politico.com/news/2025/08...
Are the mRNA vaccines incredible? YES! Are the mRNA vaccines perfect? No. Have the mRNA vaccines saved millions of lives? YES! Can we make the mRNA vaccines even better? YES! Can we use mRNA vaccine technology to prevent and treat many other diseases? YES! Fund mRNA research!
Democratic governors and state attorneys general should join DC in battling Trump's takeover of an American city.
You're right they don't deserve hyraxes. They are all too human
In his worst week he manages horrific abuses like withdrawing medical visas for Palestinian children.
Good. What is his reasoning?
Vermont’s Republican Governor Phil Scott has REJECTED Trump's second request to send National Guard troops to Washington, D.C.
bsky.app/profile/resc...
Tariffs to raise our taxes and tax breaks for billionaires. Taking over DC. Suspending the rule of law to meet Stephen Miller's quotas for mass deportation. Threatening to invade Mexico and Greenland. The same callousness that fueled DOGE and the Big Betrayal for Billionaires Budget Bill.
Putin suggesting Moscow should host the next "peace meeting" – it's been suggested he would invite President Zelensky this time to do his best to humiliate him. I'd like to see them meet in The Hague, maybe bring along their buddy, Netanyahu 🤔
You might think they could govern in a way that they would earn more votes. Surprise us all and do the right thing, but no! They failed at disaster relief in the recent floods, and they're determined to make things worse for flood victims. The last thing Texas needs is five more GOP house seats.
Perhaps they could work their way back up from the hyrax
Every Democratic member of Congress should be in the streets of DC saying this dangerous authoritarian escalation must stop. Do they not grasp what’s going on here?
Bigotry is the point
It's ethnic cleansing far removed from Hamas
Impeach him!
People are right to be upset about the red-carpet, warm-handshake reception of war criminal Putin on US soil. But many of the same people go strangely quiet when it comes to war criminal Netanyahu.
He should be forced to resign.
I can only guess at this dynamic but it looks like holocaust denialism updated into denial of genocide in Gaza.
When a Democratic leader from NYC refuses to endorse Democratic nominee for Mayor, Zohran Mamdani and instead says serial sexual harasser Andrew Cuomo --who resigned in disgrace--has a good point in his BS attacks on Zohran, you get why so many rank and files Dems are disgusted with Dem leaders
Trump skates out on the thinnest ice again. Have all of his diversions allowed him to sweep his closeness to Jeffrey Epstein and allegations of child rape away.
