Well done
Wow, you guys rock. Thanks for the inspiration. @maddow.msnbc.com
Yes. I just mistakenly turned on MSNBC with Morning Joey asking DeBlasio is a socialist. The horror!
A look back to on this day 2nd September with our farmily of farm animals
Greetings and good morning it’s the Tuesday farm rush hour with Mo
Awesome how people are getting stupider at an accelerated rate. Sucks for the dogs that will suffer.
Mo knows.
Something that has been missing from the Trump administration’s review of the Epstein case: considering the survivors. This week, they speak out, and we should all be listening. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
Dogs are amazing! ❤️🐕🐾 #dog #dogday #bluesky
What about the Dems who voted to confirm her?
Oh stop it, both the media for this idiotic reductive narrative and Dem centrists for being such astonishing wimps. The voters of NYC — especially young ones — made their clear choice, so either move along or go sit down. You win nothing by being cautious and scared www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

No child should ever have to live with the fear of being shaken awake in the middle of the night, ordered to pack their belongings, and told they're going back to a place they're afraid of returning to.
There is a possibility of seeing the northern lights over parts of New Hampshire later Monday night.

THE HAGUE, Sept 1 (Reuters) - The world's leading genocide scholars' association has passed a resolution saying that the legal criteria have been met to establish Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Forced famine/genocide. Will the rest of the world finally agree and act to stop this madness?
Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s 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.
Trump continues to pursue an imperial presidency. Here's what you need to know to be ready to follow events in court this week: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
Happy #MoDay !
Netanyahu’s office tried to use Cindy McCain to prop up their false narrative that adequate food is flowing into Gaza. McCain: “I stand by what I said—there’s not enough food getting in. It simply isn’t enough to be able to do the job, stop malnutrition and starvation.” www.cnn.com/2025/08/31/p...
🚨EMBARRASSING: Trump's ATROCIOUS plan to PROFIT from Ukraine war Trump's Russian counterpart has been ALLOWED to DICTATE how the WAR continues because Trump’s FOCUSED on the WRONG objectives Trump has also ALLOWED Putin to cross his red lines with seeming IMPUNITY www.rawstory.com/michael-mcfa...
Also HHS document indicates some facilities housing Guatemalan minors in US balked at handing them to ICE, prompting a Trump administration official to threaten criminal prosecution. She worked for DHS just a few months ago before taking the HHS job. www.politico.com/news/2025/08...
When you see our teams in Gaza, you see strength in action and the drive to cook much more. As WCK Found @chefjoseandres said during his recent visit to Gaza: "1 million [meals daily], it looks like a big number but we can do it, take a look at why: Palestinians helping Palestinians." #ChefsForGaza
Ah, yes. Los Angeles. A city well-known for not being able to handle an influx of immigrants. (heads to third taco truck of the day near Little Tokyo)
She is such a lying piece of garbage.
J.B. Pritzker is 100% right. Please listen to him, pay attention, and join us in speaking out against authoritarianism and to protect free and fair elections.
In 2024 Sen. Merkley & I visited the Rafah gate on the Egypt-Gaza border. On the other side was Gaza’s thriving city of Rafah—home to 270K. Today we saw it reduced to rubble. The Netanyahu govt has gone beyond targeting Hamas to waging a war of destruction against all Palestinians. It must end.

We know and we know how you and Hassan voted. Support for Trump's nominees came from five Dems who voted to support 10 (48%) of Trump's nominees: Sen. John Fetterman Sen. Ruben Gallego Sen. Maggie Hassan Sen. John Hickenlooper Sen. Jeanne Shaheen #nhpolitics
and SEVEN Democrats. #nazinoem #puppykiller • John Fetterman (Pennsylvania) • Maggie Hassan (New Hampshire) • Tim Kaine (Virginia) • Andy Kim (New Jersey) • Gary Peters (Michigan) • Jeanne Shaheen (New Hampshire) • Elissa Slotkin (Michigan)

Media should hound him at least half as much as they hounded Biden. But they won’t.

Jones: We have a presidential administration that has more outrage about the changing of the cracker barrel logo than they do about changing the policies that allow our children to be gunned down in school…
A friend was in DC this past week and said, “Man, those National Guard folks are bored out of their minds.” That’s the farce of all this: there simply isn’t enough crime for them to do anything. So, fuck it, arrest people for chalking the pavement. At least it makes the day go by faster.
#NYC baseball coach confronts ICE child predators. “There's only one way to get into the cage, so my whole thing was I can control that. I was in front of the entrance and that's when I just said, you know, I may die here, but they will not take one of these kids." www.wcpo.com/politics/imm...

HOW did this monster get this position? WHO voted for her?
“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s 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.
California Highway Patrol will continue to protect Kamala Harris after Trump pulls Secret Service protection. 😏 California will always be a thorn in Trump’s swollen ankles and clogged arteries. www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/white-h...
How many lies can you fit into one sentence?
Republicans had a chance to protect public health. Instead they chose to put a dishonest quack in charge of it. They own the nightmares to come.
Netanyahu is restricting aid trucks into Gaza—the best way to get food to starving people there—so Jordan is delivering some with air drops. The Jordanians said @merkley.senate.gov & I could join one of those flights to see the devastation, but Israel denied authorization for our scheduled flight.

A month before this week’s attack at Annunciation Catholic School, the Trump administration cut funding in the state for efforts to identify potential mass shooters and head off their violence.

So sick of this story. Why NH’s #wmur has to waste time showing her on the MAGA Howie Carr show is beyond me. With everything going on in this state and the country?? Go away.

This guy is a white supremacist freak.
I will remind folks those images of Nazi book burnings aren't burning just any books. They're burning the library of Magnus Hirschfeld; a gay, Jewish doctor who created an institute dedicated to LGBTQ sex education and healthcare. And a man who pioneered gender affirming care surgeries.
Don’t look away
Trump’s Border Patrol raided a Washington wildfire camp, forcing firefighters to pause their work for hours. "Donald Trump, JD Vance, and Stephen Miller and their ilk are going to burn the country to the ground if that’s what it takes, so they can rule over the ashes," says Chris Hayes.
The Pentagon is restoring a portrait of Gen. Robert E. Lee, which includes a slave guiding the Confederate general’s horse in the background, to the West Point library three years after a congressionally mandated commission ordered it removed, officials said. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/u...
This country has just gone to sh*t. There are too many horrible things happening. It is overwhelming.
i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.
RFK Jr. complains kids can't 'bring their guns' to school amid 'over-medicated nation'
Molly O'Toole: "On way 1st day teaching journalism course on covering immigration, met by ICE in Mt.Pleasant at Lamont - agents appear to take father driving young daughter, likely to school. Agents shoving bystanders, daughter sobs it’s her fault-she’d seen car parked for 2hrs. Trump’s America"
Nice job to the dictator who thinks he deserves the Nobel. #dumptrump
"law enforcement officers said they will be out across the state to make sure drivers take that responsibility seriously." Oh, please, we live on a #NH state road where cars go 50-60 mph, not the posted 35, and there are RARELY any law enforcement out here. How can they stop all the unsafe cars?
"Saul" shared this from where he's harvesting romaine lettuce. The crew has 26 workers. One group harvest the lettuce, the next group bags it and the last group puts it in the boxes. He's been doing this work for more than 5 years and enjoys the physical challenge. #WeFeedYou
GOV. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social : “Facts are stubborn things… Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas…. Alabama is a top 3 murder state. Where is the President? — He isn’t focused on crime & violence. It’s about an expression of authoritarianism.” (H/T @acyn.bsky.social )
Here he goes.
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.
While Democratic voters overwhelmingly believe a genocide is ongoing in Gaza, or that America should stop sending military aid to Israel, their politicians are wildly out of line with them Read it for free here -> usapolling.substack.com/p/democrats-...

Faiza and her 9 family members were displaced from Khan Younis, Gaza. Now, they rely on meals from WCK's Damian's Kitchen, located to the north of Khan Younis, every day. Food in Gaza is severely limited, and our team is doing everything we can to feed more families. #ChefsForGaza
Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.
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.”

Dr. William Foege, 89, who helped end smallpox in the 1970s, recently wrote: RFK Jr.’s “words can be as lethal as the smallpox virus.” And his actions are more lethal still. He’s waging war on America. That’s an impeachable offense. He must be removed from office. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/h...
70 years ago today, 14-year-old Emmett Till, an African American from Chicago, was brutally murdered for allegedly flirting with a white woman four days earlier. When you see “MAGA,” realize THAT was the America Trumpers are saying was “great.” I want a GREATER America than that. We all should.

As famine plagues Gaza, NPR exclusive reporting looks at the U.S.'s role in the humanitarian crisis. Many former officials NPR interviewed share a common refrain: Did we do enough to prevent this? n.pr/3VnVTQm
Here's what the third day of elementary school looked like in Mount Pleasant, Washington DC.
She was brought to the US as an 8yo, worked hard, studied, earned a scholarship, planned to become a nurse. ICE kidnapped her. Held her for 6 MONTHS in a detention facility with conditions so miserable that she finally agreed to voluntarily move to Honduras, which her family left at gunpoint.
