ā¦Forever!! [Cue Vincent Priceās evil cackling from Michael Jacksonās āThriller.]
Like nothing has really changed regarding the political climate in this country except that there is one less rapist pushing for autocracy and we, literally, are still in for the fight both of and for our lives.
ITāS ALL NATIVE LAND!
If you enjoyā¦ Weekends Safe working conditions Retirement benefits Paid vacations Breaks at work Sick leave Paid holidays ā¦ then youāre part of the labor movement. Happy Labor Day.
Troops in the streets and he thinks heās going to get a Nobel, peace begins at home
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.
Musk now supporting the deportation of anyone who isnāt white. *Do not* use the term āremigrationā. Itās an attempt to normalise Nazi hate.
Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Streetās greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

š§µ Authoritarianism, Democratization, and Coalition Politics. The consensus around here is, more or less, that the United States is currently a consolidating authoritarian regime controlled by a mix of reactionary populists and fascists.
The Social Security Administration official who exposed that the Department of Government Efficiency had left millions of Americansā personal data vulnerable says he has been forced to resign due to retaliation. Charles Borges, who served as the SSAās chief data officer, told
āILLEGALSā MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. Heās a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.

There are some very sick people in this country, many of whom cloak themselves in religious fairytales rather than confronting the truth and demanding change.
Working people across the DC are unified in our demands: we want these federal forces out of our city now! #FreeDC

Garcia: We finally got word from the Epstein estate. They're going to be providing the actual Epstein bookā¦ the estate is actually going to actually now get us that book and a bunch of other documents that they have that's actually not been reported yet.
there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
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.
When a president decides to disregard the will of the American people, youāre right, thatās the mark of authoritarian rule. The White House has notified Congress that it plans to cancel $4.9 billion in foreign aid funding that lawmakers had already approved, doing so without their consent.
"Literally no one thinks prayer is a substitute for action." Then why is prayer, literally, *always* the substitute for action, you willfully obtuse asshole?
Katrina inspired a $3B wetlands rebuilding project. Louisiana just killed it.
Inhuman. āI donāt have any choiceā is a lie.
If Ashli Babbitt's parents really wanted to avenge her death they would, instead of pitifully whitewashing her legacy, be suing Fox News for filling their child's gullible head with dangerous nonsense that directly led to her death.
I can't believe how good he is starting to look already. One of the kindest and most gentle dogs we've ever had.
Disgraceful.
Mike Johnson makes clear that when Congress returns next week he's going to work tirelessly to cover up the Epstein files
His insanity is his superpower.
THIS šš¾ What price are you willing to pay? āYouāre letting masked men snatch girlsā parents off the streets.ā
CDC employees walked out in show of support for their pushed out leaders, chanting "USA not RFK." Livestream here: www.instagram.com/firedbutfigh...

"Ashli Babbitt was a grown ass adult who made a series of conscious, ill-advised decisions to engage in treasonous behavior, and she got exactly what she deserved. She was a traitor. She was a threat to national security. There is no nuance needed here."
Rep. Mark Alford to his angry constituents: "If you didn't want to hear my lies, why did you come here?" #BlueCrew
Donāt look away
Welch: He claims that he's the law and order president. But we all know that's a lie because he's a convicted felon. He pardons convicted felons, he surrounds himself with obsequious people that kiss his all day, every day
GOV. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social : āFacts are stubborn thingsā¦ Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansasā¦. Alabama is a top 3 murder state. Where is the President? ā He isnāt focused on crime & violence. Itās about an expression of authoritarianism.ā (H/T @acyn.bsky.social )
Newsom: Perhaps the president could deploy the National Guard in every corner of Mississippi. Murder rate is out of control there. And the governor may want to make that phone call.
Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.
JD Vance went the WRONG WAY down a one way street to avoid protesters in Wisconsin. Disgraceful.
New, from me: America is no longer a functioning democracy. It is a competitive authoritarian system, hurtling rapidly toward authoritarianism. This was a hard piece to write but we can't move forward if we donāt acknowledge where we are. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-author...
Meredith does a really great job outlining what's going on here locally and why it does not feel like enough of the public outside the region grasps what's going on I went on my daily walk yesterday through Dupont Circle and this is the current normal we have to live with now
Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:
It shouldn't be up to American children to save each other from getting shot. It's the job of American adults to stop shootings from happening in the first place. Ban assault weapons again now.
Whatever country I visit in the world I see so many dog lovers. āIf you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and man.ā Mark Twain
The party that claims to care about law and order sends the military to pick up trash in DC but has nothing to say about the regular massacre of children in schools under than āthoughts and prayers.ā
Frey: "We need an assault weapons ban nationwide. We need to have a high capacity magazine ban. And if the federal govt and states aren't gonna act, give us the ability to protect our constituents. Give mayors & council members the ability to protect in Mpls 435,000 residents that call Mpls home."
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
Republicans have time to pettily paint over a memorial for people killed in a mass shooting because they canāt hate gay people enough, but they canāt be bothered to stop school shootings because they donāt love children enough. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...
So Sean Duffy is trying to give credit to the Trump regime for Biden's historic Amtrak upgrades, because of course he is. Can we put some billboards up near Amtrak stations so everyone knows who's really responsible? www.rawstory.com/sean-duffy-2...

I had serious doubts about CDC Director Monarezās willingness to stand up against RFK Jr.ās personal mission to destroy public health in AmericaāIām glad that I was wrong. If there are any adults left in the White House: we cannot let RFK Jr. burn what's left of CDC. FIRE HIM.
Curious what the reasoning for this could possibly be. My first thought it that it was a Putin request
remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature
This is very bad news. Louisiana won't even defend its own map in SCOTUS. It abandoned its own Black voters. Those of us committed to defending the VRA are now entirely on our own. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Wherever he lives now that allows him to eat in peace should feel forever shamed.
The government is holding a massive fire sale for mosquito nets, water towers, printers, iPads, chairs, generators, defibrillators, textbooks, agricultural equipment, motorbikes, mobile health clinics, and more. Until recently, these items supported the foreign-aid projects that are now canceled.
We are lead by the dumbest of people. Just utter morons. Hey letās see what happens when a crackpot ex junkie runs the nations healthcare.
This is Manchis. She's the dog of Alberto MesĆas ZĆ”rate, a journalist in Peru. When her human was targeted this week by criminals who threw an explosive device at their home, she barked at the perpetrators and successfully extinguished the dynamite before it detonated. 14/10 good girl, Manchis
It's time to remove Robert F. Kennedy Jr from government before he kills us all
We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.
Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), top Dem on the Senate health committee, on this evening's chaos at CDC: āWe cannot let RFK Jr. burn whatās left of the CDC and our other critical health agencies to the groundāhe must be fired."
Agreed except Congress, Republican majority, isnāt being prevented from having a say, theyāre complicit in his destruction of our democracy.
Never before in our history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many of us, while simultaneously preventing others ā Congress, the courts, the American people ā from having a say or even knowing what heās going to do next. This is what dictatorship looks like.
The Roadless Rule is one of our most important conservation safeguards, protecting forests from the bulldozer and chainsaw. The move to gut this protection is a handout to logging interests at the expense of clean water, wildlife, and local communities. www.rawstory.com/roadless-rule/
Itās outrageous that Sec. Kennedy is trying to fire the CDC Director ā after only a few weeks on the job ā for her commitment to public health & vaccines. The Sen. HELP Committee must hold a hearing with Kennedy & the CDC Director as soon as possible. Vaccines save lives. Period.
wtf is this nonsense? He thinks he can understand kidās āmitochondrial challengesā just by looking at them? This is an insane person.
CHAOS ERUPTS AT CDC CDC Director Susan Monarez has been ousted after RFK Jr. demanded she change her policy on the COVID vaccine. Top officials from the Vaccine Unit, Zoonotic Division, and the Chief Medical Officer are resigning, per reports. Horrifying news for public health.
AMERICA: āItās a mental health issue.ā REST OF THE WORLD: āWe have those. But donāt have mass shootings.ā AMERICA: āItās video games.ā WORLD: āWe have those too. But donāt have mass shootings.ā AMERICA B: āItās cause they took Jesus out of the classroom.ā WORLD: āGod, youāre stupid.ā
"Joslin stated that they displayed the flag for about two hours on May 20 during their off-duty hours, and noted that Yosemite regulations did not ban the hanging of flags at the time."

āThere are thousands of people who are starving because the Israelis decide to use hunger as a weapon.ā
At some point Trump is going to call for the removal from congress of dozens of Democrats, all of them accused of mortgage fraud, and Corporate Media will obsess over details of the accusations rather than just calling it a partisan purge and fascist consolidation of power. Stop taking the bait.
I disagree, the military on the streets doesn't lower crime. It replaces some street crime with far more state-sanctioned criminal activity (corruption, torture, disappearings, etc).
The felon who is known for stealing the work of others with whom he contracts.
At around the 22-25 minute marks, Yarvin, JD Vanceās court philosopher, proposes a system where black people would be made wards of religious ministers, who could force them to work as indentured servants and require them to submit to 24/7 āair-tagā monitoring.
Some context on Iowaā¦ Drey ran against the attack on public schools/voucher scamā¦
The only thing more disgraceful than having groveling cabinet members so willing to debase themselves in this shameless way is having such a damaged, insecure, and needy president that they know desperately needs to hear this BS.
It's his same Create-a-Fake-Issue-Then-Take-Credit-for-"Fixing"-It-While-Having-Done-Nothing-Or-Having-Made-Things-Worse schtick and many in this country will fall for it all the time.
As always with this country, it was about racism and hate, not economics.
To be a rapist is to be a dictator at the personal level. We knew he had raped dozens of women and girls. Now he is ruling like a dictator at the national level. Just like he promised. The abuse of women is not incidental. Ever. #RemoveTrump

And some wonder why so many are no longer buying into this fraud called religion.
Cash bail creates a two-tiered system of justice where the wealthy can buy their way out of jail. Cashless bail lets judges detain people based on flight risk and community threat, rather than financial means, and does not raise crime rates. Don't fall for Trump's lies.
Good morning ā Today would be a good day to release the Epstein files
Physicians at Michigan Medicine are being bullied into denying healthcare that they, their patients, and and their patients' parents all agree they should deliver by MAGA goons in the Justice Department. That's because MAGA wants to deny your right to healthcare they don't agree with.

The stupidest person to have ever walked the earth has some war advice.
Trump: People go into war and then they get their asses kicked and they lose their country, Nobody goes into a war thinking they're going to lose. I'm sure Ukraine thought they were going to win. You donāt go into a war thatās 15 times your size
After having already experienced his stupidity over and over for 4 years prior, congratulations on re-electing the stupidest person to have ever walked the earth, America!
Rumor is RFK Jr is planning on taking all COVID vaccines off the market, making them unavailable to anyone who wants them.
