Bigly pushback needed soon or citizens will be deported for being woke.
This morning I warned that Donald Trump is slowly turning Jan. into a patriotic day of celebration. We can't let that happen. If you value pro-democracy news, information and analysis, subscribe to Democracy Docket (free or paid). hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0 Here is an except of what I wrote.
Yeah. Replacing a 2 syllable word with a 4 syllable word is bush league.😜
Actually, make it Exhibit 2. The video of the crime should be Exhibit 1.
Two examples of Trump administration authoritarianism, lawlessness, fascism, etc. this morning. Also, JD Vance is heinous. bluevirginia.us/2025/09/satu... h/t @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social
Even President Trump gets it right once in awhile. Vaccines are safe and effective. They have saved millions of lives. Sadly, Sec. Kennedy disagrees. We need an HHS Secretary who believes in science, not conspiracy theories.
Thanks to Mississippi’s sweeping age verification law, residents just lost access to Bluesky and Dreamwidth. These mandates don’t rein in Big Tech—they entrench it. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...
“They find people in vulnerable situations that maybe don’t have equal access to information.” As investors snap up storm- and fire-damaged properties, survivors say they’re exploiting tragedy. From our friends at the @grist.org:
There was never a plan to lower your grocery prices.
The richest 100 billionaires in the U.S. have a net worth totaling $3.86 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is collectively worth $4 trillion. Read that back. Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.
Yeah. Took me a minute to realize they were attempting to make a clever portmanteau of Chicago and Apocalypse. They failed bigly.
Make that Exhibit 1 at The Hague.
I am constantly saying this but one thing to know is that Vance’s comms team is run by very young, very online and very far right guys. They were a big part of having him push the Haitians cats and dogs thing.
When you consider the many thousands of significant things & processes present in human bodies over a given period of time, the likelihood of coincidences is quite high. THAT'S why you need to design studies rigorously & nitpick the hell out of initial results to weed out non-causative associations.
No one has been able to make his brain worm understand the basic logical fact that associations aren't cause-effect. They may be a bread crumb leading to something, or misleading to nothing at all.
RELEASE THE TRUMP FILES, TOO!
Earlier today I was thinking something like this was possible. Why else would DJT let RFKJ torpedo his Operation Warp Speed legacy?
Just further evidence that “tough on crime” is about the “tough,” not the “crime.” These policies rarely if ever make us safer. But they let weak men think they are tough.
More insidiously, it persuades uninformed voters that weak pols are tuff.
Chiron should be: Trump takes reporter suggestions on what to lie about.
My knee jerk translation: FBI questioned Trump, whose attorneys told him to tell the truth or risk obstruction charges.
Trump on Jan. 26, 2016: “We have a president that can't get anything done so he just keeps signing executive orders all over the place.” www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp...
![Here's what he has said about them in the past. Feb. 19, 2016: “Obama goes around signing executive orders. He can't even get along with the Democrats. He goes around signing all these executive orders. It's a basic disaster. You can't do it.” Jan. 26, 2016: “We have a president that can't get anything done so he just keeps signing executive orders all over the place.” Jan. 26, 2016: “I hate what Obama does with gun legislation. He doesn't talk to anybody. He goes out and signs executive orders. In theory you're supposed to the old fashioned way, get everybody into a room and get something people agree on.” Dec. 12, 2015: “I don't think [Obama] even tries anymore. I think he just signs executive actions.” Nov. 10, 2015: “Nobody wants to listen to [Obama], including the Democrats, so he just goes around signing executive orders.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4usmserhjqkvhldgedfjb3jw/bafkreibkc72uq57kw25ofas7oeixdvxdglpky3bia7uddpn5ipbjeerv2q@jpeg "Click to view full size")
Yup. And we should really only count EOs that courts don't strike.

Makes as much sense as changing the President's name. Any ideas?
Just trying to live up to the upcoming new title "Deface The Nation."
The August jobs numbers are atrocious, with unemployment rising to its highest level in nearly 4 years. Trump is running the economy just like he ran his businesses — straight into the ground. https://youtu.be/zbh9SW5Cgqg?feature=shared

Which is WHY the right has to lie constantly.
happiness is never having to worry when the Elon Musk dependency in your life is going to horribly fuck you over in some seemingly unforeseeable way that, upon further research, will have turned out to have happened multiple times before to other people
Winsome Earle-Sears is lying — so let me tell you the truth: 350,000 Virginians are at risk of losing their healthcare because of Trump’s tax bill that she supports.
Bill Gates looks like he's trying not to fall off his chair and start ROFL.
Trump’s greatest accomplishment is Operation Warp Speed. Now, it’s going up in smoke thanks to a partisan former junkie quack. Fuck that guy. #FIRERFKJr www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEHc...
I'm no Musk fan and haven't been following the robot development, but if this is an autonomous walking AI, it seems slightly impressive. However, demonstrating it to the world on something as trivial as leading you to the kitchen to look for a Coke is daft. Let's see it hunt down a Coke on it's own!
Absolutely. There's no reason to make them strong enough to throw Cybertrucks at you. Keep them slow and easy to topple.
Phrasing!
RFK Jr. rolled out that old chestnut again about how healthy Americans were in the 60’s, so here’s a fact check. In 1965: -42% of American adults smoked; it’s 11% now. -The infant morality rate was 24.7/1000; it’s 5.6/1000 now. -Overall life expectancy was 70 years; it's about 77 years now.
This is the country we now live in. Alice Correia Barbosa is here legally. Abducted from the car by Trump's thugs in DC. A car is private property. They do not have the right to yank somebody out of a car without a warrant and without identifying the reason for the arrest.
Four years ago, I tested for COVID. I'd had dinner with someone with cancer the night before. Thanks to the vaccine, I did not give that dinner companion COVID. And I only ran a low-grade fever for a few days. Fuck that idiot RFK Jr. and the equally stupid buffoon who hired him.
Surprised they didn't go with Department of De Fence. Build That Wall!
He'll blame others for bad numbers & take credit for good numbers.
Also, Department of Commerce name changed to Department Of Grift.
I’m grateful to have @daveminca.bsky.social’s support in this race. He and I have worked closely to represent Orange County and stand up to Donald Trump’s attacks on our state—and I can’t wait to work together as Governor.
So after seeing Florida's move against vaccines, RFK Jr's drooling idiocy this morning, etc. this is pretty much where we're at? Idiocracy? bluevirginia.us/2025/09/vide...
And a dyscalculiac. Off by a factor of ten! Fire him!
Just follow the Epstein subpoenas. Another of the many DOJ actions being ignored and buried. The coverup trail is large and wide.
🧵Let me tell you a story about Stephen Miller and chain migration. It's a story that should be read to the justices of the Supreme Court. It begins at the turn of the 20th century, in a dirt-floor shack in the village of Antopol, a shtetl of subsistence farmers in what is now Belarus.
MUST ASK: Why Is Winsome Earle-Sears Lying About 350,000 Virginians Losing Their Healthcare? - @vademocrats.bsky.social bluevirginia.us/2025/09/vide...
Hey, whomever! If releasing all the Epstein files is too much work, just put out whatever will get Trump immediately impeached. Thank you for your attention to this smatter.
Virginia, we’re officially 2 months until Election Day. It’s all gas, no brakes — and every day counts.
Where is Jason Miyares? Most likely assuming he'll lose the AG race and angling for a position in the Trump administration. But most definitely NOT defending Virginia, that's for sure! bluevirginia.us/2025/09/vide... h/t @jonesjay.bsky.social
Did they know? DJT didn't tell his voters he was going to do all that. Are they really to blame for his lies?
They should also check The White House for anti-American content.
Donald Trump's message to Epstein survivors: "Enough." On Wednesday, survivors spoke about their experiences at Capitol Hill to support a bipartisan bill that would release their files. When asked about it in the Oval Office, Trump decried it as a "Democrat hoax" and said "I think it's enough."
Let me guess...science doesn't understand it enough to prove it.
Please report how much taxpayer money is spent on this fishing trip.
NEW PODCAST DROPS AT MIDNIGHT: If Trump were TRYING to make sure his Trumpstein Epstein Cover-up scandal reignited every time it started to die down, he couldn't be doing a better job. Plus he's turning NYC's Mayor Election into a Trump referendum. New Countdown pod drops at midnight
DeSantis thinks this helps his presidential hopes? He's hopeless.
In other words, economies simply do not work as expected when a yuge chunk of wealth is held by people who have zero economic worries.

If anyone is looking for fresh ideas, how about organizing group workouts that include breathing and voice exercises to maximize vocal output without damaging vocal cords. It would give a fun new meaning to "EXERCISING your First Amendment rights" and "EXCERCISING your right to peaceably assemble."
"Be loud for America", is an astoundingly good rallying call for US citizens to resist the Trump autocratic takeover. Actionable and patriotic. Pritzker sure brings the fire to Democratic resistance.
The opposition party opposing White House decisions? Heaven forbid!
Vuvuzelas are much easier to play and just as annoying.
The Wall Street Journal has a new article about billionaires. Here's a gift link if you feel like getting mad.
Or madder.
This is the little boat that Trump bombed. Literaly bombed it with a cruise missile. 11 people murdered. Where are the drugs that a little skiff like that could carry, crammed with people? Stop calling it the Venezuelan strike. It is outright murder in international waters.
Pure sick.
Maybe karma will end his season before the 10/26 SNF Pack at Steelers.
Maybe they just want to start wars with all Latin American nations so they can legally expedite removals of 'illegals' from those countries.
Let’s make sure the Epstein victims get the attention they deserve. REPOST all the Epstein/Trump content you see and make it trend! #Epstein #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles #Trump-Epstein mdavis19881.substack.com/p/epstein-xi...
Nory Sontay Ramos was a thriving high school student in L.A. until she and her mom were deported by the Trump administration in July. For @msnbc.com, we visited her in Guatemala as she tries to graduate remotely while hiding from the same gang they fled years ago. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/n...
Here’s what’s going on with Laura Loomer. (1/5)
Trump being re-elected is AI's fault.
Dr. Reich, Just say it. It’s eugenics. Under a national philosophy that the poor, sick, disabled or elderly deserve their lot &, in the words of Charles Dickens,
8 Navy ships vs a speedboat. Maybe give 'em a chance to surrender?
A great day traveling the length of the Commonwealth – met with constituents in Franklin, Hopewell, and Fredericksburg, now taking all their concerns back to the Capitol.
Several thousand people were granted release. Admittedly not a random sample, but their reoffense rate was ONE-TENTH the state average (5%, vs 50%). A major reason? They were just older, more mature, ready to get on w their lives. Such needless waste to stay locked up.
Nurses at University Medical Center New Orleans work tirelessly in dangerous conditions to provide the best care to their patients. They voted to form a union over 620 days ago & are still fighting for their first contract. Unacceptable. UMCNO must deliver a fair contract now.
They forgot to mention all the hype-fueled funding phases & gov't loans.
Welp. Must try not to sit at that booth...ever.
Why, EVERY time I see Bessent, do I see Terry Gilliam in Monty Python as "A Man With A Stoat Through His Head"?
President Miller is failing bigly. No wonder he's hiding behind Grump.
"The tactic of accusing political opponents of wrongdoing that one is also guilty of is a form of projection. It has been observed in modern conservative rhetoric particularly in the US. It works by distracting from one's own faults and discrediting opponents by questioning their integrity."
