"I don't think people who are taking money from pharmaceutical companies should be drafting health care legislation. I don't think people who are taking money from oil and gas companies should be drafting climate legislation." Agree?
Okay found this version of the thread, easier to read, and very informative
Because so many of us need some humor. Statler and Waldorf supercut. 37 minutes of Muppet laughs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6I_... I need to see if there is one for Beeker. There has to be, right?
Because it will make you laugh, a compilation of Beaker and Bunsen. youtu.be/Wlh6yFSJEms

a friend skeeted a DJT / Barbara Walters interview from the before times. He was fairly insistent that 'people' were saying he was smart or his properties were good investments. She said "No, They aren't"
if he's that sick I don't think parameciums will work. he should get multimeciums
Revoking an entire nationality’s visas is collective punishment and never acceptable — especially in this moment when millions of Palestinians lack equal rights, basic healthcare, and so much more at home, forcing them out of the US is unfathomably cruel. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/w...
bigger ball caps that have more space to cover bandages the black one yesterday seemed quite large
If he had some form of brain surgery (relieve pressure after a fall) his hair would have been shaved. We are going to see baseball caps for a looong time.
maybe they shaved it off for the surgery?
People literally bled & died fighting against corporate interests, robber barons, corrupt local & state politicians, cops & hired killers, & the federal government & US military for better working conditions for the rest of us so reflect on that today for just a bit while you're doing whatever else.
Happy Labor Day, Illinois!
My dream is for it to happen like it does to vampires. When the leader kicks the bucket, the rest of them burst into flames.

More lying. Larger phony numbers. Fake narrative
Some astonishing omissions by Eric Loomis in his Times oped on labor 👉 www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o... Not that unions & all of us don't need to do more--we do But the essay ignores the substantial efforts that unions have undertaken that I chronicle here👇1/x open.substack.com/pub/contrari...
Trump is trying the 'bad boyars' defense. The all-powerful leader is the victim here, not the leader and not even the catalyst.
This is what failed Republican policies look like. #VoteThemOut
President Vance needs to address the nation
“There are those who would try to refuse the worker any effective power to bargain collectively, to earn a decent livelihood and to acquire security. It is those shortsighted ones who threaten this country with class dissension…” — Franklin Roosevelt, Sep. 6, 1936 www.thebulwark.com/p/labor-day-...
Maybe it’s time to leave Trump & his trash to themselves?
And here we all are. 💔❤️ 🇺🇸
If you haven’t seen ffolkes you are in for a treat! Tony Perkins is just splendid as the bad guy, and Moore is fierce and humorless and unbeatable. And James Mason! Cats!
when he does finally go i will demand not just the death certificate but the long form death certificate
There is a widespread belief in law-enforcement that anyone who’s been paid for sex is ipso facto a liar who cannot be trusted to testify to anything, even things that happened to her own body. That’s what Molly ran into today, and absolutely no one else wanted to admit that’s what they were saying
I cannot believe that guests on MSNBC actually used the phrase “child prostitute” which is a phrase that SHOULD NEVER BE USED. It suggests that children have agency and are making an adult decision and they are NOT and CANNOT, they are purely the victims of adults! Disgusting
Hey @mollyjongfast.bsky.social thank you for pushing back on misogynistic bullshit other guests on MSNBC The Weekend were spewing about the victims of Jeffrey Epstein being somehow UNFIT to testify in court because they were PAID for SEX. They were all WRONG, and you were the only one to call it out
a guy who partied his way through Manhattan and Queens in the 'late 20th C'? it has to take a lot of "medical intervention" to get him feeling better than that.
“DC IS A CRIME FREE ZONE” Except for the crimes being committed by your masked Gestapo, you mean.
one thing Rudy Giuliani is always going to do is defensively announce a weirdly incriminating detail with his whole chest as though he sincerely believes it exonerates him
I cannot imagine any insult to a public figure that could do harm to whatever is left of his reputation, no matter how high or low, after he'd been seen as we have seen here.
upon the advise of counsel I would like to clarify that the two parts of my story are purely coincidental to each other and that I mentioned these two completely separate and unrelated sequences of events merely to provide context for anyone wondering what happens on a random night in New Hampshire
This whole thread is just appalling. The hearing arises from the Trump admin conspiring with a foreign country to violate a federal court order in the middle of the night so it can deny due process to children who escaped dangerous circumstances.
this movies scared the shit out of me the first time I saw it and Carter or Ford was president.
Every single thing, EVERY SINGLE THING, that RFK has done was predictable and predicted. He is doing what every other fascist eugenicist has done before him. The disability community has been warning about this for YEARS. It is not in any way shape or form mysterious and unknowable.
Everyone parrots the line, “They’ll just replace Trump with another figurehead.” Bullsh*t. Later today in my latest JHN Newsletter I’ll break down why Trump is the one irreplaceable piece of this machine. When he’s gone...the whole thing starts to crack.
I wrote about the humility of expertise and the arrogance of ignorance, the profound laziness that attends believing that you can find knowledge by ignoring the accumulation of inherited human knowledge, and the ways lazy arrogance fuels narratives of fascism. www.the-reframe.com/your-ignoran...
The lies' laughable implausibility is a feature, not a bug. They're not trying to convince discerning, skeptical, fact-based people. They're trying to give supporters a fantasy that validates their feelings and creates a sort of loyalty test, while flaunting the absurdity in everyone else's faces.
"In short, if Trump and Kennedy are going to divide the country over public health, Democrats should polarize the living heck out of this debate as well—but on *their* terms." YES
For those who think the Trump administration is speedrunning the German 1930s by following Hitler’s playbook, today is the anniversary of Operation Himmler, a series of false flag events which gave Hitler the justification for war.
And it's not like there aren't some good viable solutions, plural, for many of these problems. Universal health care, including mental health care. Providing housing and social workers for those critically ill and unsheltered. We could go on, the solutions are many and ... it's not the farm.
a co-incidence that this 'plan' is also the story told children when their pets end is not coincidental. A large number of sponsors of such a plan do intend for patients to be killed by the 'treatment' and this is the same story told about the departed Germans in the 30s.
The eugenics plan for MH in the USA, is literally Kennedy wanting to take away medications and send us all to work farms. I wish this were a snide joke, but it ain't.
1. Trans women are women. Stop saying that trans women are "Men pretending to be women." 2. Sexual predator men don't pretend to be women to molest girls. That would be way too much work and effort. Sexual predator men pretend to be youth pastors to molest girls. 3. Trans men are not a "gotcha."
it only seems weird if you somehow can believe he's not gravely ill.

IMHO, these are all inextricably intertwined: 1) authoritarianism 2) eugenics & racism & sexism 3) vandalism of public goods, property, and services 4) pseudo-science & anti-science They feed into one another and they never travel alone. Find one, and you'll find elements of all the others.
They have Guard units picking up trash in D.C. playgrounds, disabled veterans waiting months for care, and a vice president lecturing _some other_ politician to show due gratitude to the country. Wretched, despicable people.

Stay pissed, America….
I continue to think that Hungary is not hugely useful as a comparative case study for the US and that India (h/t @polgreen.bsky.social) and perhaps Brazil are more useful comparisons
I mean, why do they think all these people were specifically chosen to be in these positions? It all serves the purpose, this is all by design.
Nearly four years ago, I explained the affinity between the antivax movement and fascism. Given that RFK Jr. has been rabidly antivax for at least two decades, it should surprise no one that he’s fine with the fascist approach to science. www.respectfulinsolence.com/2022/01/28/w...
average Dem strategist: we must focus on bipartisan policies that undercut Republican attacks average Dem voter: having studied the denazification of Germany, we must raze the RNC and leave JD Vance clutching a single wool blanket in a cell after we strip him of everything
White House Downplays Trump Hand Bruise As Least Concerning Part Of Body https://theonion.com/white-house-downplays-trump-hand-bruise-as-least-concerning-part-of-body/
I like Walz better, but yeah this is good, and this guy seems fairly normal, for a billionaire. He’s at least well-advised, and he apparently TAKES the advice
Everything in that entire post is wrong LOL
Yes it does? It very literally is one of the core tenets of fascism?? And also it’s not attributable to “madness”. Mental illness has nothing to do with bigotry, racism, hate, and power tripping.
FOUR ! We can smell them around every corner. All of them. We are …
If he’s alive, then why hasn’t anyone been able to prove it to my satisfaction? checkmate.
🤎🤎🤎🩵🩵
It is just what I would do too if someone told that to me.
Brilliant. Now that he's dead, his signature doesn't do anything, and until Vance admits 'what we all know to be true' he is powerless himself.

"Premium" is doing some very heavy lifting here
ah, the good ol'days
Let that number sink in. This is how to do it when you’re fighting for the future of your democracy.
So many people gleefully wishing and hoping for the death of our President. What does that say about humanity? There's hope for it.
which demographic is the target? A) I wasn't going to buy any bananas but that robot stalked me all over the store, so I gave in B) I was checking out the frozen fish when the bananabot slammed into my cart, and realized, I do need about dozen of those too.
Honestly what gets me about alot of this stuff is that the best technology for me to purchase bananas isn’t a traveling robot it’s a box, a box that sits there. The technology of convenience and comfort is box
Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”
Isn't it a federal crime to help the president of the US go to heaven?
is this good
Very good discussion of the intellectual roots of MAGA, its deep flaws and incoherences, and the challenge of the moment for liberalism in response, from @zackbeauchamp.bsky.social and @lkatfield.bsky.social, off of her new book, which I highly recommend: www.theunpopulist.net/p/what-is-th...
Also denial of due process of law. USSC ruled immigrants can only seek habeas within the federal district they are held. by moving the person's body amongst federal districts they keep the person from having standing in court to challenge their detention and keep them from obtaining legal counsel
he isn't as bitter as he is trying to manipulate, so perhaps more like an abusive parent, who keeps reminding the other children why the scapegoat child is responsible for all the strife created by the parental abuse... " if only your brother could say 'thank you' "
Happy birthday to the effervescent @frankconniff.bsky.social!
Question: Why did US put big tariffs on India despite major national interest in cultivating a strategic counterweight to China and trying to isolate Russia? Answer: Because the US president lied that he fixed India-Pakistan and India wouldn’t go along with the lie. (Seriously, that’s the answer)

You took a (long) break from wearing a mask, right? You got away with it. But, guess what? There's a *lot* more Covid around again. And, access to vax is up in the air. Just put a (good) mask on again when you're out and about and you'll be much more protected as well as protecting others. ✨✨✨
that won't work this time. this one's nose was too damaged during the 80s and 90s
finally an upgrade

Cruelty is the point.

One thing Sensible Centrists refuse to acknowledge - and this was true during covid when people were also saying this stuff explicitly - is these people are eugnenicists who welcome a good plague to get rid of the old, botched, and bungled
Hello, I am furious www.liberalcurrents.com/let-it-burn-...
Science: Trump supporters are assholes.
www.thedailybeast.com/minnesota-se... It’s hard not to hate them when they choose ignorance over science & are literally AGENTS of DEATH.
Being a Republican means demolishing the planet and still expecting to get invited to dinner. They don’t believe in cutting people off socially over politics—they believe in *murdering* people over politics. Keeping normal relationships with whoever’s left is how they tell themselves they’re ok.
