Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.

as I was saying
Chick-fil-A abruptly begins closing stores as economic crisis accelerates. All across America, restaurants are going dark. “Closed” signs are popping up as jobs disappear. The downturn has come for everyone – even Chick-fil-A. share.newsbreak.com/eswuvvcz?s=i16
Trump and Dr. Oz want AI to decide which Medicare patients get care—and they're giving AI companies a profit-incentive to deny coverage. Everything about this is sick and wrong. Tell Congress to intervene NOW:
HAPPY LABOR DAY FROM NYC. Restaurant workers and New Yorkers came together in outrage to sing and eat TACO’s outside Trump Tower 🌮 🐥 PAY YOUR WORKERS! TACO = Trump Always Chickens Out @riseandresist.bsky.social @50501movement.bsky.social #onefairwage #workersoverBillionaires #Resist
HAPPY LABOR DAY! Trump Orders Have Stripped Nearly Half a Million Federal Workers of Union Rights www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/u...
In another instalment of:“Didn’t Age Well” RFK Jr on Trump: “The way you build a truly vicious nationalist movement is to wed a relatively small core of belligerent idiots to a much larger group of opportunists and spineless fellow travelers whose primary function is to turn a blind eye to things”🥴
He did not write that, That was Stephen Miller......
Stephen Miller is REALLY bad at pretending to be Trump. Like this doesn’t even almost sound like a Trump tweet
HAHAHAHAHHA........Wow, I hear vampires can't see themselves in a mirror.
Stephen Miller's meltdown was easily contradicted by experts after he tried to justify deporting a 10-year-old orphan.
When people are always seeking to reach a new low in low Trump likes to have them around until they get too clownish....What makes a person too clownish varies. For Giuliani it was just being a clown. Only cruelty seems to protect his friends now.
We understand illiteracy & the dire consequences. To a lesser extent, also the effects of innumeracy. We are understanding in real time what happens when civics education is eroded; peeps lack basic understanding of how politics/govt actually works & his highness' royal tweets are taken as policy.
I thought he was dead......?
I thought he was dead........?
The New New Zealand is disappointing to a world that was looking up to the Old New Zealand. But that is what happens when you scare the right wing into taking control of your country and walking it back towards Colonialism.
Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:
This is reminding me of the Woody Allen movie Banana........
My favorite Rudy Giuliani story is that my mother, who loathed the man, was moving from Queens to Long Island in 1997 but delayed her move until after the election so she could vote against Giuliani one last time. It's more a story about my mom, but I thought that was just wonderful.
I'm still waiting for the relentless onslaught of media demands for a press conference and calls to resign.
SHOCKED 😳 NOT😉
They are all traitors, and also unexperienced wannabes. This is the saddest governance ever. Could we go back to congress sucking and the administration being serious?
Does he mean climate change and fossil fuel collapse. Or is he referring to running out of water?
What a ridiculous person.
Kennedy might have prospered had he simply been content to continue slapping a MAHA coat of paint on the good work of the government’s actual scientists. Instead, he seems determined to rip the engine out while the car is hurtling down the interstate.
If you want children to live after their forced birth that is a private issue.
🚨🔥🔥🔥🚨 Truth to power! 1/2
Apparently we had no protections from the enemy within. Such a poor governance does not instill faith in our system, but it informs completely how dangerous it is to assume loyalty to our country instead of a goal.
ICYMI — JUDGE: “This case represents the consequences of a decades long drumbeat of anti-immigrant sentiment and misinformation being broadcast & broadcast & broadcast…” 2 immigrants shot in Washington, gunman sentenced in June. Barely even a story. 🤷🏻♂️ www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/g...
Atleast they don't have to worry about Liberals doxing them, LOL..... If that was me I would hide my face too. But these people have now choice. They signed up knowing the penalty for not showing up when called to protect the new boss.
Sadly it is pretty tragic if dead rivers don't move people, if vanished glaciers only elicit more cruises. If dead babies forever landmines don't change behavior,how are you going to get people to stop sharing misinformation and dubious stories online. Did you see 7 million protesters in Tel Aviv?
I barely Facebook at all but it is where all the misinformation is so I drop facts in stories on Instagram to hit stories. Facebook already crushes any informative stories. And threads have a lot of x vibe. I have blocked enough people here to avoid that. If you want hit the bro's dump their stocks.
Neil Young quits Facebook and Instagram over Meta's use of chatbots with children 'Meta's use of chatbots with children is unconscionable,' Young's team shared in a statement. www.cbc.ca/music/neil-y...
she said that “black” with a hard r
I was in London riding on the subway with a friend when I found out about this. All the people around us were concerned for us....it was an emergency for them. It was not an emergency for the GOP. They left black people to die and then they took the houses.
I have been on general strike since May. And most of all my money has been out of the Stock Market since 2008. I'm not getting rich but I am not making them rich either.
If women had our own civil liberties union. We would not have to put up with half this nonsense.
I'm here for it!
“The A.I. companies selected to oversee the program would have a strong financial incentive to deny claims. Medicare plans to pay them a share of the savings generated from rejections.” www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/h...
What a cursed sentence (gift link) “The A.I. companies selected to oversee the program would have a strong financial incentive to deny claims. Medicare plans to pay them a share of the savings generated from rejections.”
This is mental illness, to tie it to pro=Russia policy or Anti-Christian Liberalism is just grasping at bullets. The response is as mentally void as the national policy that has our young men being kool-aided online by corporations, fake religious leaders and hate groups.
Back when they had to get thier fists dirty and could'nt just shoot rubber bullets at international journalists.
If I knew that being a blow hard would be the same as getting an actual medical degree in infectious disease I probably would have made different choices in life.
Wow that spin is litterally spin, they are blaming Democrats for gun violence. The people who don't know how to shut up talking about people who don't know how to shut up. The anti-christian violence spin is the worst.
This is what it looks like when we form a more perfect union.
They're great leaders!
They jokingly call you a joke. They seriously call you a dangerous idiot.
The smartest man in the room, is always the most dangerous because he is always on the smartest man in the room in his own head.
Trump: "They call me the president of Europe. Which is an honor." Europe:
The phone number for the U.S. Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121.
This is wildly popular, Hey Mike Johnson!, you forgot this on your list of "wildly popular" things. This one actually might be wildly popular. You are not the Wildly Popular monitor, we are and all that stuff you call wildly popular are only wildly popular with fascists.
This must be how it felt when the Germans started taking over the railroads in Europe. Those people you could not longer trust with governance were now checking your papers at the train stations.......

What Donald Trump Really Thinks About Free & Fair Elections paulfell.substack.com/p/stuff-this...
A sitting president should not be able to make decisions on protecting or not protecting anybody. Trump is the biggest Karen in the country. I wish people, especially men people that think only women can be busy bodies would recognize that. You can be tyrannical and a meddling moron at the same time

There will be no decent to our crimes! To be clear my biggest contention with Democrats was when I heard Hillary Clinton and Sen. Feinstein 2010 talking about prosecuting, that Whistleblowers are a national security threat. I imagine they grew out of that nonsense. This is a national security threat
They just don't care how wildly unpopular it is, maybe if they give all the National Guard a signing bonus like ICE thugs get then the National Guard might think it was wildly popular with them and their families but that is still not wildly popular with anyone but service members on Trumps graft.
What she said........
Crimes against humanity, geez....just call it what it is for once.
THIS 👉🏾 What price are you willing to pay? “You’re letting masked men snatch girls’ parents off the streets.”
The same air force that is offering a woman who died storming our nation's capital at the urging of the current president. What an unending shame the bring upon this nation. Along with two Supreme Court justices who seem to condone the attack as well. If it is meant to be coup they should say so.
Redistribution of wealth looks a lot like owning the libs these days.
These people make me proud, when the question was asked what they would do for their country their answer was refuse to participate in it's corruption.
CDC leaders on why the left: “I resigned because I could not be part of the weaponization of public health and CDC… we should always be questioning - but you shouldn’t have a preconceived idea before you have the data.”
That is some money those highest income people need more than to know their neighbors are eating. The gate is a nice touch, they can pretend they have no neighbors.
I am so scared for my children, thank god it is safe to let them go online with Zuck and Musk.
Many Americans have stopped sending good overseas by USPS because we can not afford to even send a book to a relative. If a country is measured by it's postal service we are actually 4th world. 9 dollars to send a birthday card.
Reminder: The party that has normalized mass shootings in America… Have also normalized pedophiles running America.
Next he will not care who gets paid for the organ......
The reverence of Ashli Babbitt by the regime is a signal. Be willing to commit the ultimate sacrifice for the regime and you too shall be revered. The next level of indoctrination. Maddy out!
I was just thinking the same thing as I saw Ashli Babbit trending on Bluesky instead the Epstein Files.
I mean for fucks sake, we look like an absolute colossal joke to the entire world. Mr heroin addict brain worm diagnosing children by their face. Holy shit.
Some light Bluesky break..... youtu.be/gAYL5H46QnQ?...
O my god, that looks like an artistic representation of a school shooting.
It means that our government is at war with us. The majority of Americans find this govenment oppressibe rather than liberating. Which would be obvious if anybody had the courage to report on that.
The internet is not going to remember it for us. And along with the GOP using Defund the Police to garner Blue loyalty they also used No Taxes on Overtime. Most industries have already gotten around paying overtime, and the people wanted no taxes on tips.
They have one boss and their boss is a criminal.......
That our president and his White Nationalist/Christian Fundamentalist War Maker are disregarding the vulgarity of this action that those who are not White Nationalist see in this action. They are betraying our nation and our soldiers of good upbringing.
I think people really struggle w partially consolidated authoritarianism, either understating our problem or understating our power It's like we're in a liminal fascist space. And not recognizing how far gone we are or thinking we're simply too far gone are both grave errors we can't afford to make
Is this our American Spring? More of this would be great because takers rarely know what to do without the trained professionals and they cant replace experience with inexperience.
I have never seen so many public servants protest the mismanagement of a government. Trumpists will point to this as proof of the deep state, but the reality is that these are professionals who are desperately trying to get the public to understand how bad things are.
Winning!, just put a swastika on that flag and you can be in the movie too.
Nothing more effective than funding the most tyrannical people to assure your control of the market. No one is going to be disappearing from this trough. They wont go until we make them go. It turns out it is more profitable to sell to authoritarian governments than to people, Lockheed Martin proves
I had been wondering what the CIA was doing these days besides railroading immigrants and looking for supporters of Palestinian Liberation in Facebook posts of foriegn students.
imagine being so maniacally racist that you side with the fire over the firefighter
Wow, it must feel so awesome to represent your country in the Air Force right now... www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.
Marketing and manipulation are two different things, and people really are tired of the latter for any reason.
good news from one of my favorite Sci-fi authors.
And now for something comepletely different..... youtu.be/W3V1oswZM-o?...
I was listening to someone on the radio say that Pritzker can't just copy Newsom and do the tweets like Trump.....and I was thinking, why the hell not. I wish every single Democrat would radically mock him. Newsom doesnt own imitating the Trump Tweet disfunction. Come on, come on, everyone.
This is a long one and I think people mostly have a clue, but it is dangerous that the stupidity of the clowns towards the future of human kind is camaflauging the actual violence of their agenda against everyone who is not a white male. I hope people watch this whole thing.
Please get up to date on this end game if you are woman. I saw a spokesman for the Heritage Foundation on German television stating these goals and got no push back from the male host. Were they speaking of doing this to men do you think these hosts would just say, "Thank you for your time Mr. Man".
Full resignation letter from Demetre C. Daskalakis, a CDC leader, does not hold back. "The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning. My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud."
I just had this conversation with Dr. Heidi Beirich 4 days ago. If you want to understand the ideology of Breivik and Tarrant, the white nationalist terrorists cited by the Minneapolis shooter. youtu.be/SYj7swi8d5c?...
