here’s what we need to be more focused on. more of this
Yep a good-faith critique of learning loss would lead to proposals for a massive, New Deal-scale investment in public education. The people pushing the narrative are doing precisely the opposite.
Compare the murky, indeterminate data on school closures to the stark, decisive findings on vaccine hesitancy. Republican policies and rhetoric killed hundreds of thousands of people! We don’t need to bolster this fake narrative. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...
Exactly, the entire argument for this narrative is that kids rarely die of COVID. That’s true, but it wasn’t the justification for the policy. Teachers *do* die of COVID and kids *do* spread COVID. Some studies find school closures were the most effective intervention for preventing cases!
When you're working on a solo project and you lose so much momentum that everything grinds to a screeching halt, what you are suffering from is a lack-of-feedback loop. It's time to show what you have to someone who is not you. Is what I'm doing worth it? Is it good? Entertaining? GO FIND OUT!
Parliament returns today. But rather than representing his constituents after six weeks away from the Commons, Farage is speaking at an event alongside Trump’s authoritarian allies in Washington 👇🏻
BEGGING. Be involved at local & state levels. So much of what we see at the national level starts at school boards, council chambers & state houses. But state & local is where your voice is loudest and most effective. And where we are more likely to put a stop to this stuff before it gets to SCOTUS

This Weeks Editorial Cartoon: Causing a Führer
“Immigrant workers are our friends, neighbors, and loved ones – and they deserve to be here,” writes @tusk81.bsky.social. “...allowing families to continue building their lives here is simply the right thing to do.” On #LaborDay, we say clearly: immigration is good for America. 🇺🇸
HEY NYC! The great @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social dancing on the @jcod3.bsky.social float at the West Indian Day Parade! #CuomoCouldNever
No Trump/No KKK /No Fascist USA
Get the hell off Substack before you literally can’t anymore without blowing up your business
Labor Day - these are the men and women who build Michigan, teach our kids, take care of our loved ones, and who know that we’re more powerful together than we are alone. Whether or not you’re a part of organized labor, we all owe a debt of gratitude to those who have fought for all of us.
trump is the one letting criminals into our country to keep grifting and he brazenly accuses innocent Brown and Black people of bringing drugs in our country ! #trumpWelcomesCartelMembers
Kräken's post inspired me to make a meme. Save & share because it should be seen broadly & made into bumper stickers, bridge signs & flyers. ICE is a fascist Gestapo-like secret police force with poorly trained goons that violate our rights & use maximum force to unconstitutionally abduct people.
From my grandfather, who battled union busters in the 1940s From my parents, school teachers who fought for fair wages and benefits From my daughter, who works with unions to create climate friendly jobs And me, representing union members injured at work Enjoy your Labor Day You've earned it
Central Coast Farm workers wish you a happy #LaborDay Campesinos de la Costa Central les desean un feliz Día del Trabajo. #WeFeedYou #SoyEsencial
Concord, NH lit up today with the truth: when the people rise, no billionaire class can break our spirit. Voices rang out: The people united will never be divided. We’re done with crumbs while the rich feast. We’re all in for #WorkersOverBillionaires ✊🔥
It's child trafficking. There is no other way to see it. The United States government is now trafficking children.
Maybe now the conversation will zero in on the trump immigration /ICE lies…specifically that he was going to arrest & deport convicted criminals. These are KIDS, not convicted criminals. KIDS.
RFK Jr: “If you’ve ever compared an unvaccinated kid to a vaccinated kid… you see the bright eyes, the engagement, the social interactions, the curiosity. And you compare them to the child who even had one or two vaccines, and they’re completely different.“ This man is an existential threat.
If you’ve ever compared unvaccinated kids to vaccinated kids, you’ve seen the former are more likely to die.
Americans are protesting. It's coded on social media because the broligarchs don't want any of us to know that a lot of us are protesting regularly. Our media is censoring dissent.
I guess if you're in a major city in a blue state, you have to start thinking about how you're going to successfully vote with the actual military attempting to prevent you. Because that's why the military is being moved into cities right now. They're being pre-mobilized to prevent voting.
😳…is this what voting will be like…😳
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. I’d say he’s actively destroying public health and committing murder on a daily basis with his destructive monstrous agenda.
Has anyone seen Trump?
Trump on RFK Jr., the CDC, and vaccines (a translation). He seems to be saying that he was shown data about COVID19 vaccines being safe and effective, but that the pharma companies didn’t show those amazing data to anyone else, like RFK Jr. He thinks this is why there is a “mess” at CDC.
That's funny, because I just read an article that showed 2 studies that prove people who support trump are more narcissistic, are non empathetic to people around them, and they actually enjoy others pain and suffering. www.psypost.org/trump-suppor...
I didn’t really need more evidence that RFK Jr is nuts and delusional.
Nine former CDC directors basically said RFK Jr is a threat to public health.
I have a language suggestion, which everyone can do, but is primarily for media members who value truth and Democratic politicians: Instead of asking and adjudicating if an obvious lie is false, make the fact that it's false your premise. "Why are you lying?" instead of "some say that's not true."
When someone explains something to me in the wild, I freeze to remind myself to honor their journey in life. And I find a clip that gives me hope.
Zohran Mamdani spoke at the National Action Network's March on Wall Street. Every other mayoral candidate ignored it. He's the only one proving he cares about DEI and NYC's diverse communities. NYC needs a mayor with these priorities.
Let's give a shout out to the men & women who labor in the fields to put food on our tables. #WeFeedYou #LaborDay. Mandemosle un saludo a los hombres y mujeres que trabajan en el campo para poner comida en nuestras mesas. Thank you Ignacio Gomez for letting us use this art
And of course the tried and true pathway from claiming to be a civil rights lawyer to “seeing the light” and deciding you love Trumpism. The Damascus road paved w/a lucrative TV deal. The journey in 4 panels:
“the club marked its annual Pride match with rainbow-lined uniform numbers and, amid President Donald Trump’s police takeover, sported “I love DC” shirts during warmups. For the second straight home game, a “Free DC” chant echoed across the stadium in the 51st minute.” WashPo w/ context this week
Don't look away 😔 this isn't the American 🇺🇸 way 👉🏼it's sadistic psychopathic Hatemeister Steven Millers wet dream of Amerikkka👿👇🏼
Science: Trump supporters are assholes.
I hope people read these stories and are encouraged to take their own action: wagingnonviolence.org/2025/08/la-u...
Rudy Giuliani happened to be in the middle of one of his favorite pastimes - RESPECTING WOMEN - when he suddenly broke every single bone in his body. Please do not call and ask any questions because his business partner is taking care of him ❤️
More insanity. This is just stupid and nonsensical. There is no reason for doing this. #USDemocracy abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory...
Did you know that women make up 60 percent of dental school graduates in Iran and nearly 50 percent of practicing dentists?
Jesse Watters: “You weren’t ever on Jeffrey Epstein’s jet, were you?” RFK Jr: “I was on Jeffrey Epstein’s jet two times.” Release the freaking Epstein Files. Believe the survivors and their families. We want accountability.
It's always someone else's fault. Now, it's the entire continent of Europe. WTF??? #USDemocracy www.axios.com/2025/08/30/t...
Really tired of the “run into the National Guard in the dark” jumpscares (outside NoMa station on Florida)
White men yell at indigenous women…these nazis are too stupid to see their own hypocrisy. I would not wish upon Australia the shame that is happening in the US. I hope y’all ca. tamp down the rhetoric before it’s normalized. It’s the Murdoch’s fault.
"... two were taken to hospital with severe head injuries, one with a deep gash to their head, the camp said. ... all of those injured were younger women of colour. "... the men yelled slogans such as “white power” and “white man’s land”, as well as sexist and racist slurs."
On a happier note, our two little tuxes went up for adoption over the weekend, and were both adopted! ❤️ I don't think they went together, but I think they'll both be just fine. 🙂
The Trump administration has moved to end temporary protected status for immigrants from Honduras and other countries. Among them are health care workers tending to older and disabled people.

They’re forming a CDC workgroup to decide which line on this graph looks better and their answer may surprise you
Unexpected new guest at Chez Fluff n Wobbles! Meet Charlos- an EXTREMELY sweet and handsome 4-5mo old boy who was surrendered to @crits4cats.bsky.social this evening.
No child is a prostitute. Those teen girls were manipulated by powerful wealthy men and when men were caught..they blamed the teen girls. Welcome to America. Any adult man who refers to victims as anything other than teen girl victims is a sexual predator making excuses for other predators. PERIOD
“Staggeringly dishonest” Tariffs are taxes on Americans, and Bessent (and Trump) know it
Dozens of demonstrators gathered Friday night at the Capitol to protest Gov. Jim Pillen’s plan to transform the Work Ethics Camp in McCook into an ICE detention center.
I would read a whole series of reports like this on each individual federal goon. They all deserve a profile.
Now at the corner of K & 6th NE, massive ICE presence and arrest. Neighbors out in protest. (Reposted for correction.)
NEW: Since corporate media won't call for Trump's resignation, I will. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/trump-must...
“We know that President Trump has been talking about Chicago. He’s been making sensationalized racist threats about our city since at least he first ran for president in 2015, and that’s not right, that’s not us, and his military threats are not welcome in our city.” thetriibe.com/2025/08/blac...
One of my pet peeves. NYT and others keep calling him a vaccine skeptic not a vaccine opponent.
Yep. For psychopaths, the negative attention is a bigger rush. We should ignore him and promote the actual player and the kid.
Judge Blocks Flights Sending Hundreds of Children Back To Guatemala “It is a dark & dangerous moment for this country when (Trump) chooses to target orphaned 10-year-olds and deny them their basic legal right to present their case before a judge” www.politico.com/news/2025/08...

Thou shalt not end vaccines. God will not save you from plague. The Middle Ages should’ve made that very clear.
ALERT: Several US Customs and Border Patrol agents spotted with several Metro PD officers at Rhode Island Avenue Metro. Currently standing around but there are 10-12 officers on site. This is current as of 8/31/25 at 4:09 PM. Stay away!
BRICS is more relevant as an organization within the countries participating, as far as global market share by population, than those that work with the US. The world sees what has happened and are moving on without us. MAGA will drown us in racism, misogyny and culty Christianity to financial ruin.
The United States is slipping from its place as a world leader. You can thank Trump for that.
BARCS has her, now 🥲 Baltimore moots: somebody please adopt her 😩😩😩

And as @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social & I argue in #ScienceUnderSiege, it really IS appropriate, William J Broad, to compare the current assault on science by the administration and its enablers in congress (and, yes, the press): bsky.app/profile/mich...
THIS ➡️ "the New York Times is very much implicated in the false balance and "performative neutrality that enabled this moment"
Judge Sooknanan: "These children are going to be deplaned. They're going to be returned to ORR custody. And no attempts will be made to remove them from ORR custody and remove them to Guatemala, in light of my order, while these preliminary emergency proceedings are pending."
I still think of the MAGA voters who were like, 'Maybe we need a dictator', when voting. 🤦♀️
I'm curious who Never Trumpers are willing to sacrifice to win back the Republican base? What group will be their scapegoat? The Democrats? MAGA? Women in the workforce? Republicans are usually willing to sacrifice the group/s they consider expendable to gain power.
I believe a lot of people live with people who are lesser versions of a sociopathic/psychopathic narcassist than trump is, so they are conditioned to believe this behavior is normal. I also believe this is a phenomenon largely within the white, cis male population, from my personal experience.
One thing that's particularly maddening about what's happening today—beyond that it's happening—is that when people talk about how we are moving toward authoritarianism, toward fascism, by a collection of narcissistic sociopaths, many Americans' eyes glaze over.
And when they say *they* are protecting the country from the people who want to destroy it, they are engaging in pure psychological projection.

Fuck all these DEA, HSI, and any other agency people that signed up to do this to people in our country. I will do my best to make sure justice will come for them when this shit is over.
From this day on, hand them a trash bag, seems that's what they're here for.
The greatest "bye, b1tch" I've seen in a long time. Women have been so brave against these goons and I'm so proud of them!
After DEA GOONS begin to harass and question a man sitting in Starburst Plaza in NE Washington DC, local neighbors remind him of his rights and stand with him until the GOONS give up on their harassment.
🚨SHAME!!! This is NOT a criminal; he was sitting on a park bench. 🚨 1/2
Reminder: Most mass shootings are carried out by cisgender men.
"They're takin' our jobs!" has NEVER been true. It's a lie to make US-born people resent immigrants and get them to support harsh, cruel, anti-immigrant measures. No US-born citizens are rushing to fill the jobs undocumented people were doing.
I didn't realize the federal government was the largest employer of women until reading an article that pointed that out. It makes complete sense that disenfranchising women, but especially black women, would be one of the first shots that this regime took.
