Did anyone ever think they would see the day when a Pol. party would openly cheat & by doing so they would admit they can't win elections b/c voters don't like their policies? The GQP doesn't even hide the fact that they have to cheat to win & aren't embarrassed or ashamed of this revelation.
Abbott is trying to silence the political voice of minority Texas voters so that Trump will be able to continue his assault on the Constution despite the will of the voters. Newsom has a popular vote referendum, so the voters get a say. He’s empowering minorities. Not the same at ALL.
Hey Congress – make Alex Acosta's testimony public and televised. There's absolutely no ethical reason for it to be private and transcribed. Nefarious AF. We need to hear your questions. We want to see him squirm. We need to see him squirm. Yet another sign of a cover-up.
everything the tech industry does actually makes sense if you look at it from the perspective of them wanting to crush labor, no matter how extreme the measures
Same!
Don’t forget “Stomp” and “Blue Man Group”!
On #LaborDay, we recognize the workers who make so much of our everyday lives possible. And every day, we should have American workers' back by supporting their organized efforts to secure higher wages, good benefits, and safe & dignified workplaces.
Well put!
If you enjoy… Weekends Safe working conditions Retirement benefits Paid vacations Breaks at work Sick leave Paid holidays … then you’re part of the labor movement. Happy Labor Day.
That’s because MAGA is fundamentally a racist movement - a nostalgia for a time when everyone different from them had fewer rights. Of course they focus on her name, national origin, and her race, because they can’t denigrate her resume, accomplishments, and position.
When it REALLY happens, there may be up to a billion people celebrating! What a testament to an utterly self-centered life.

Brutal honesty: if someone can listen to Trump speak for several minutes and NOT realize he is an idiot, that’s conclusive proof that person is also an idiot.
NEW -- Exactly 10 days after taking the oath early this year, Donald Trump nearly drowned dozens, potentially hundreds, of his own citizens in California’s Central Valley. Why? Because he is one of the most ignorant people you will ever meet. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
The reason the Democratic Party is failing is because their strategy isn’t to meet voters where they are. They are desperately trying to figure out a strategy to bring voters back to a position that doesn’t require them to change
Yes. The culture war is a distraction from the class war.
Bill Cassidy is a physician who is being humiliated daily by Robert F. Kennedy. Kennedy has exposed Cassidy’s craven prioritization of his own power over the health and safety of his constituents and of the United States of America. Kennedy has exposed Cassidy’s powerlessness to stop him.
"The lunatics are running the asylum."
People want to hear all their problems are someone else’s fault - that idea is so attractive to some that they keep trusting the same assholes who exploited their hate before.
Thank you @adamkinzinger.substack.com Trump cares so much for our National Guard....NOT!! Puts them on orders for 29 days only so they are not paid housing allowance or health insurance Adam Kinzinger on X ⬇️⬇️
I grew up during a time when the press would have demanded that the White House release the President's medical records and ask why no one has seen him for four days.
It took cops three hours to finally go into the Pulse nightclub the night of the shooting. If you wander near a crosswalk in Florida with a piece of chalk right now you'll have four cops on you in under five seconds.🤷♂️
That doesn’t look like Kamala. Neither do Joe Biden or Chuck Schumer. I guess you’ll never see how you were played.
Their believers fit that too. They have Messiah complex/Main character issues about “not voting for the lesser evil” which always comes out. There are scores of vulnerable populations in the US we need to protect, and anyone who’s bad to one will be bad to the others. It’s how they pick us off.
I want to believe that. I want to believe Americans deliberately rejected Trump’s disastrous agenda of hate. I want to believe American voters weren’t so stupid and selfish. But the evidence needs to be strong enough to stand up in court, and it’s not there yet. So, stupid & selfish still fits.
There are Gaza supporters who got brainwashed so thoroughly by the Russian psy-op, they STILL refuse to acknowledge that Harris was pro-ceasefire, and wouldn’t have permitted famine to be used as a weapon of war against a powerless civilian population. American elections are binary choices, period.
Jill Stein and Cornel West both disgust me — such goddamn, self-serving hypocrites.

This is how Dems will lose. The “crime” narrative is a dog whistle. If the Dems start blowing it, we’re cooked. The perception of “crime in the cities” ONLY means bigots are afraid of brown people. Black voters know this. This “divide and conquer” should be obvious! apnews.com/article/trum...
And I am the world's foremost astrophysicist ballerina who invented the piano, aspirin, and appetizers.
I keep wondering why no Daniel Ellsberg type whistleblower has come forward to leak the Epstein files. Someone has access to them. Then I realized most of the mainstream press is not on our side or the side of democracy. Who would report it? Back in the 60s and 70s the press existed as a watchdog.
Every time I see masked ICE officers ripping a parent from their child, I think: “Americans chose this; they knew this would happen. A lot of people were happy at the thought.” And I feel that I do not at all understand the country I am in and the world around me.
They don’t think enough kids have died in school shootings. They don’t think enough kids have been raped. They don’t think 1.2 million American COVID deaths are enough. They don’t disdain concentration camps & slavery. If they did, they would #RemoveTrump #GuardingOverPedophiles
I have seen some sites where the Manage page does have an easy Reject All option at the top.
NEW figures show that 61,226 people are currently in ICE detention — the highest number ever in US history. According to ICE data, 70% of these people have no criminal conviction.
Living a lie and constantly running from cognitive dissonance will siphon away all the energy you could pour into your craft. You can waste your life constructing a facade. Choosing authenticity, especially when it's hard, is the only way anyone ever creates something true, something that matters

Question: Why did US put big tariffs on India despite major national interest in cultivating a strategic counterweight to China and trying to isolate Russia? Answer: Because the US president lied that he fixed India-Pakistan and India wouldn’t go along with the lie. (Seriously, that’s the answer)
They don’t care if you have papers or not. What they care about is whether you look like an immigrant from south of the border.
Another super wealthy kook who is delusional
Always…
The Construction and subsequent teardown of Alligator Alcatraz will cost taxpayers an easy $320 million—money that could house every Floridian experiencing homelessness. Imagine if Gov. DeSantis found as much joy in transforming lives as he does in destroying them.
I diagnosed Robert Kennedy Jr. by looking at the TV. He suffers from stupidity, self-aggrandizement, body odor, and bloating due to eating of uncooked carcasses.
I wonder why Bill Pulte didn’t send this case over to DOJ with a criminal referral along with his selective targeting of Adam Schiff and Lisa Cook? apnews.com/article/paxt...
I just saw someone refer to rfk jr as microwaved mel gibson & i can’t unsee it.
Wow! Gorgeous view!
Spherical-cow gets it. They’ll dramatically INCREASE, because the competent people at HHS are all resigning or getting fired. If another epidemic strikes, RFK might get a death toll higher than Pol Pot. Maybe Stalin numbers, even!
The narcissist doesn’t transform because they don’t believe they need to change. They will forever be stuck thinking they are perfect the way they are.

His point is “Ignore those who actually understand the topic and listen to my insane, uninformed, rectally extracted views.” He is a babbling moron with a god complex. “Mitochondrial challenges”? Seriously - WTF!
I imagine future historians will judge us by recent events where the shooting of children in church is met with shrugs, thoughts and prayers, and a tech bro getting the crap kicked out of him by a 15-year-old girl resulted in a military occupation of the nation’s capital
TEXAS: “Would I be required to carry my birth certificate to the restroom because I have short hair? Is there anything in it to protect people like me?” REP. ORR: “No. It protects biological females.” @jessicafortexas.bsky.social : “That’s what I am.” More: www.fox7austin.com/news/texas-h...
Pondering… Trump lies constantly and pathologically. Was “Make America Great Again” a deliberate lie from the start? A joke played on the US by Trump and Putin? And what if the same is true of “Make America Healthy Again” - their true mission is the opposite? It would explain so much of this.
The CDC is gutting a program that monitors foodborne illnesses. The program will now only track infections caused by two pathogens, rather than eight. Hello? How does this “Make America Healthy Again”?
so many people are going to die because not enough people were willing to believe that RFK jr would actually try to do exactly what he has said for decades that he wanted to do
Let’s face facts. The reason Johnson is supporting the President setting the Tariffs is the fear that Congress members voting for the tariffs will be held responsible by the voters. That’s the LAST thing Johnson wants. Trump’s cult will never blame him for anything bad, but that’s only for him.
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.
What an asshole. It’s the guns, AND it is the fact that the GOP is a cult of death. There will NEVER be any act or set of acts which will get them to tell the truth. Every child in this country could be fatally shot, and they still wouldn’t care at all. There is no bottom.
We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.
Trump doesn't give a rats ass about traumatizing kids. All he cares about is how many of those little kids he can deport to God knows where. If If he'll let children starve to death in Gaza, why would he care about how children feel? He's always lacked empathy, and that will never change.
🧊🖕🪖 TERRORIZING KIDS 😲 Schoolkids in DC ride free on Metro, and a lot of them use this benefit to commute to school. They're talking about the soldiers they're seeing at the stations, and the rumor is that if you so much as eat a snack on the train, they will grab you and deport you. ✊ FREE DC!

I deleted all Meta apps in January, and I haven’t engaged with any Meta service since March. This is hardly the first unconscionable act of theirs in the last year.
Karolyn Leavitt’s lies are incredibly insensitive and disrespectful. We realize puppets are brainless, but Leavitt takes it to a new level. We’d rather hear Psaki speak the truth regardless of how painful, than listen to Leavitt lecturing us on how we’re not praying enough. Give us a break, psycho.
It’s all about corruption!
Liar!!!
someone should put together a "kennedy death count" for everyone who dies of a preventable disease and just plaster it everywhere www.statnews.com/2025/08/28/c...
Inhuman. “I don’t have any choice” is a lie.
I’m so sick of people complaining about “politics” whenever someone speaks out against genocide - since when is being anti-genocide a political stance?
The sitting President of the United States raped children and he’s in no danger of being held accountable for it.
Impoundment is illegal, but we cannot rely on SCOTUS to follow the law.
Every nation on earth has people with brains as deeply broken as RFKJr’s. The difference is they wouldn’t let any of those folks burn their public health system to the ground. #FireRFKJr
These bigots are so eager to justify atrocities!
❗️It is obvious that the US leader is a Soviet or Russian agent. Objectively speaking, the new American leadership has strategically facilitated the Russian Federation — Portuguese President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa
Being in the US w/o proper authorization is a misdemeanor on par with reckless driving. It is not a felony. There is no direct victim. The way we treat immigrants is like summary execution: no due process, no justice. Straight to punishment in the extreme. Why would any Dem want any part in that?
It's the official auto of the Neptune Society?
They tried to be smarter than a door, and failed. Part of the enshittification of America is breaking things which do work, to replace them with expensive versions which don't work.

My eldest came of age in the era of school shootings & EVERY nightmare she ever has involves an active shooter. She overheard me talking about the harms of smartphones & schools banning them & said… “YOU CAN’T TAKE OUR PHONES IF YOU AREN’T TAKING THEIR GUNS” So, anyway, fuck the #GOP #ItsTheGuns
TRUMP: "I killed over a million people with my inability to understand disease." RFK Jr: "Hold my horse dewormer."
"Every school in the country should have a metal detector." Sean, what are metal detectors at schools there to detect? A baloney sandwich or a GUN? You would be preventing the entry of people with GUNS because GUNS are the problem, you shamelessly dishonest idiot.
If the students are submitting papers written by AI, and the teachers are grading those papers with AI, what the hell is the point? They might as well just have ChatGPT email Claude directly and leave the humans out of the loop! www.zdnet.com/article/some...
Like I said. They aren’t embarrassed by history, it’s their playbook.
He lied about winning in 2020. He lied about the 2024 election being a landslide. He lied about voter fraud and election fraud. He pretended to have been vindicated in cases that merely ran out of time to imprison him. He ran as an open fascist who *still* wasn't honest with voters about his plans.
This is truly one of the best illustrations of what is happening in America.
He has completely abandoned reality. He MUST go!!!
Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, who resigned from the CDC, revealed that RFK Jr. has NEVER been briefed by CDC experts on measles, flu, or Covid: “No one from my center has ever briefed him on any of those topics…He’s getting his information from somewhere”
the harsh realization that every single administration hire is one of the shittiest unqualified mediocre people in the world
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.
It was NEVER about “the worst of the worst”. It’s always been about ethnic cleansing.
I heard it could make your skin really glow!
