Conspiracy theorizing is fundamentally narcissistic-- "pay attention to me! I alone of the millions of observers know the hidden truth"-- but it gets a bit more š when AI is involved
Below the radar, the second Trump administration has taken extraordinary steps to expand the rights of gun owners and manufacturers. He doesn't care about crime, nor does he care about kids. Trump 2.0 shows every sign of doing anything the NRA wants. trib.al/JOEX4xp
Honestly, the hour-long run and march of people shouting āFree DCā up 14th Street today is the energy I needed this morning. I love you, DC.

Now I canāt un- see that. Thatās hysterical.
Chicago this Labor Dayā¦ Thousands fighting for what #WorkersDeserve
It is wild that the Washington Post -- which claims "Democracy Dies in Darkness" -- has remained completely silent for more than a day about Trump's latest attack on free and fair elections. Support pro-democracy independent media. Subscribe to Democracy Docket today. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0
Telling Jews to āgo back to Poland,ā when 90% of Polandās Jews were murdered in the Holocaustāand those who returned after faced endless violenceāhas nothing to do with Gaza and everything to do with wanting Jews to be killed.
Happy Labor Day to the union workers who built Americaās middle class.

"To pretend that her death deserves the same recognition as that young soldier at the gate is obscene. It is a betrayal of the oath she once swore and a desecration of the sacrifice made by so many who kept faith with theirs."

Itās hard to not believe that all of this is on purpose.
9 Former CDC Directors who were all qualified for their posts are warning that deranged chaos agent RFK Jr is a danger to public health. Iād say heās actively destroying public health and committing murder on a daily basis with his destructive monstrous agenda.

Today's a good day to learn Colbert found a new job. Hope it's a good one for everybody! #HappyLaborDay
This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime. A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering. 1/4
Trump on the cover of French magazine Le Point. Translation: āMan from Moscowā Le Point is a major French weekly news magazine. It is considered a center-right / conservative-leaning publication.
Each of these red state governors who sent their national guard to Washington have cities with higher crime rates than the nationās capital.

If they enact a new illegal congressional map, Missouri will be sued.

Judge Sparkle L.

Itās well past time to discuss the 25th amendment
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.

Oh, Andy Borowitz. What a gem you are.
Youāre ignorant if - you believe that the government is āchippingā you with vaccines. Youāre a ignorant if - you think that the mRNA in a vaccine is manipulating your DNA. Youāre a ignorant if - you believe that vaccines cause autism. Vaccines are safe and effective! Vaccines cause old age.

Unfortunately, I think this is all wishful thinking.
It is undeniable. In fact, denying it abets the criminals behind the crimes, even as their toll rises and even worse abuses are contemplated. Israel and the US must be stopped and held accountable. The international community should use every available tool to do so.
I like the rebrand.
This morning 9 former CDC Directors, whose tenures date back to 1977, published this warning in the NYT: RFK Jr is a danger to public health. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.

Donāt you get it? Nothing has been explosive. Nothing can move this motherfucker off. Nothing can get republican Congress to get off their collective ass. Nothing can get us rid of him.
Time for all in the apartment to get rabies shots! Bat bites are not always detectable and bats have a very high incidence of rabies, which is šÆ fatal.
NEW: Judge Sooknanan is back at it. She orders DOJ to file at fifth status report to address whether the two children discussed in its previous report have been returned to ORR custody. Status report due at 12 noon today.
If your state hasn't done this yet, call your governor's office as well as top public health official in your state, and request that they do this. If enough people start calling, they will hear us loud and clear!

Iām still stunned a little bit every day that my country elected a rapist. It hurts my soul that the women who fought so hard for equal rights have to spend their golden years under this manās regime. And they are out there protesting again. True patriots. Much respect. ā

The state of Florida wasted more than $200 million on 'Alligator Alcatraz' stunt: jasongarcia.substack.com/p/the-state-...
Day 224 REALITY CHECK: The election was highly compromised. There was a coup. The Supreme Court was the primary lever. Everything we have witnessed is TREASON. Thereās no way out of this without MASS MOVEMENTS of the people. No one is coming to save us. We must rise up in peaceful revolution NOW.
AP: āFlorida could be on the hook for $218 millionā¦ Alligator Alcatraz may soon be completely empty as a judge upheld her decision late Wednesday ordering operations to wind down indefinitelyā¦ā apnews.com/article/flor...
Robert Mueller was diagnosed with Parkinsonās in 2021. Weāre just learning about it now because he was asked to testify in the Epstein matter and wonāt be able to. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/u...
If he DOES come back for a press briefing, first question should be EPSTEIN, EPSTEIN, EPSTEIN. And as a follow up, EPSTEIN.
This. They must go. Removing them must become a top Congressional priority or the deaths they cause will be on the hands of every member of Congress...and lest they think there be no consequences, those deaths will be mounting up by the time of next year's election.

Such an outstanding column by @gustavoarellano.bsky.social! Police abuses. Immigration raids. Dehumanizing technology. Rethinking political party loyalty. History is repeating itself. Ruben Salazar already covered it all.
The only way to produce lasting peace in Ukraine is to defeat Russia, force it to return to 2014 borders and admit Ukraine into NATO and the EU. Anything less is likely simply to produce only a temporary pause before Russia attacks again.

A must for reposting.
This is the second judge in a week that has brought up the fact that the government can't be trusted with clear instructions - likely because the government ignored Judge Boasberg's order to turn the planes around last March saying "verbal orders from judges don't count."
Mainstream Media isnāt reporting about the children who have died that ICE Gestapo snatched! #iceout #arrestnoem #arresttrump
In Los Angeles, this should be done everywhere. The pics of Americans snatched by ICE Gestapo is being projected on the side of a detention center in Los Angeles. #iceout #losangeles #california
The President of Portugal Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa called the orange felon a Russian asset in a live televised speech. Well done, this is how you do it. š

I'm still waiting for the relentless onslaught of media demands for a press conference and calls to resign.
Pritzker: "We don't want troops on the streets of American cities. That's un-American and frankly the president ought to know better. This one doesn't seem to. He hasn't read any books. He doesn't seem to understand the Constitution or the laws."
UPDATE: Drew Ensign, on behalf of DOJ, says that "all of the class members that were on planes today have been deplaned and are in the process of being returned to ORR custody." He add that he didn't file by 4 p.m. because he wasn't aware of the court's order setting that deadline.

Heās providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
ABC News is still calling RFK Jr. a āvaccine skeptic.ā The dude was one of the most prominent anti-vaccine activists for decades. Thereās video of him in 2023 saying that thereās no vaccine which is safe and effective. You can call him an anti-vaccine activist!

Fatality.
You ever see somebody so old and sick they donāt walk in...they creak in? Breathing like Darth Vader with bronchitis. Letās be honestā¦thereās no way this guy makes it another year. A stiff breeze in March might finish the job. He's a very ill man.
"The lunatics are running the asylum."
Believe me, I would *love* to have civilized political debates with people whose views opposed mine, if we could scare up any opposing views that are actually civilized. But my opposition is unhinged stuff like "Whites only" and "vaccines are a conspiracy," so yeah, weirdly, I'm not up for a chat.
"The straw man being put forward is that it's either we have the military or we're going to get our throats cut at night in DC. Is there no middle ground? Do local law enforcement account for nothing? We've got the National Guard GARDENING right now in DC. Is that an efficient use of our resources?"
Illinois is currently exploring the possibility of purchasing Covid-19 vaccines in bulk straight from manufacturers to make sure everyone will still have access.
Donāt trust the experts.
