Thank you!!
The President is begging me to call him to bring in the National Guard. I’m not going to beg him for something we don’t want.
Bless these brave women!
In the coming days, we expect to see what's playing out in LA and DC happen in Chicago. These efforts are not about fighting crime or making communities safer. This is about Donald Trump testing his power and producing political drama to cover up his own corruption.
Our public schools went back to school today with heavy hearts. We can’t resign ourselves to believe that our little ones can’t be safe from guns in what should be the safest possible environment.
yes, because people who have a higher chance of suffering from PTSD should definitely be armed and use weapons as a means of solving anything that their minds perceive as a threat. extremely smart and good and fail-safe and definitely would not be counterproductive or backfire horribly in any way
What do we know about the rural health transformation part in the bbb and how does that correlate with the closure of hospitals? Thereby coercing rural people to rely on a.i. health tech? I saw one article on this but can’t seem to find it.
I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable
That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.
I'm aware that the President likes to go on television and beg me to call him to ask for troops. I find it strange, as Chicago doesn't want troops. I also have experience asking him for assistance – just to have the rug pulled up from underneath me when execution meets reality.
saw this on facelessbook and it me
Conversion therapy has never worked because you can't "fix" what ain't broke. The fundamentalists need to figure out why the idea of anything other than heteronormativity makes them all weird inside. Ultimately, it isn't my responsibility to censor myself for them. Their squicks aren't my issue 💜
The belief that American military personnel will not obey illegal orders may need some reexamination as well.
I used to read books like Lord of the Rings or watch movies like Star Wars and think the villains were unbelievable. And of course, now watching the tech oligarchs (who could not spend all their money if they tried) destroy civilization for power, I’m like, guess I was wrong. People are that awful.
NEW: Massie tells CNN that there is significant pressure from the White House to BLOCK the release of the Epstein files.

Netflix is putting its money where its mouth is: 💰 $2M to back Newsom in the redistricting fight 📺 A deal for Sesame Street — new episodes and the full archive free to watch. That’s how you pick a side.
All kidding aside, it is so *insane* & *shocking* & *dangerous* that Corporate Media has collectively decided to completely bury objective fact that the President is uninformed, confused, and physically & mentally deteriorating.

Chicago strong! Resist! This is what democracy looks like.
I hear the next one we're electing will already be dead

This right here is their “innovation.” They stopped innovating for consumers and became power brokers. Outright bond villains.
No, there are literally laws in the USA that allow investors to sue companies at apocalypse levels if the companies actually give money away to employees or customers The lsw in USA is that companies must do everything ok their power to hold profit for investors — NOTHING for employees or cusotmer
So the process repeats as the rage frenzy of investor dimwits grows again, demanding infinite profit and infinite growth So they invent another lie and lather rinse repeat The end result, services and products collapse by degrees, workers suffer, and everything gets worse each cycle
Saw a good article on YouTube about it — the “rot economy” — the fact that investors are now at pure-vengeance level rage, demanding infinite profit and infinite growth and nothing less, shattering companies and viciously filing lawsuits endlessly unless companies announce infinite growth & profit
big tech hasn't come up with anything paradigm-shifting and useful since the smartphone in 2008 and I'm tired of all the shit they keep shoving down our throats trying to recapture that high
My initial thought exactly. They’ll have to spin some magic into the tale once someone passes but it’ll be easier for the followers to believe a fairy tale than to admit they were wrong.

They're trafficking children. Epstein was just part of a bigger problem. #Pedogarchy
United States supported genocide against the indigenous Maya in Guatemala. Of the 250 000 people killed in the 1960-96 civil war 200 000 were Maya. 93 % of the victims were killed by successive US-supported regimes in Guatemala.
The Trump government is basically trafficking small children, to who and why is anyone's guess. How much is Donny making on this?
Thank you for sharing, we’re still looking for the children from the first administration, shipped all over the country in the middle of the night. 🥀
Government? I have to call them what they are, kidnappers/ human traffickers.
They Tried to Sneak Out 600 Kids on a Holiday Weekend The government was loading Guatemalan minors, unaccompanied, some as young as 6-7.
I think it could go either way. Religious cults have survived the death of its cult leaders before.
Today we celebrate the strength and resilience of working people everywhere. Nearly 300,000 federal employees have lost their jobs this year not because of necessity, but because of a political agenda. And while people’s lives were destroyed in the name of “saving money,”
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.

I’m still paying union dues in retirement, worth every penny…
If you enjoy… Weekends Safe working conditions Retirement benefits Paid vacations Breaks at work Sick leave Paid holidays … then you’re part of the labor movement. Happy Labor Day.
Protect the crosswalks! But kids getting shot? Pfft!
We live in a state where they think books turn people gay.
This is just sad. We’ve posted about this before. Now here is what is going down. The rainbow crosswalk at the Pulse memorial in Orlando (created to honor the 49 lives lost in the 2016 shooting) has now become the target of state enforcement.
Evil has a name Russia is committing the genocide of #Ukrainians. Russia strikes our cities, kills peaceful people, kills children. It steals hundreds and thousands of Ukrainian children, tortures captured Ukrainian soldiers and civilians, consistently breaks the laws of war, murders,rapes,steals⤵️
POPE LEO: “Let us plead God to stop the pandemic of arms, large and small, which infects our world.” He prays for the victims in Minneapolis, and “the countless children killed and injured every day around the world”
When you cut the social safety nets, you can expect people to fall and land on the streets.

Google developer #1: "That's it. Our search engine is simple, efficient, and reliable. It's perfect. We're done." Google developer #2, presumably: "But wouldn't it be *more* perfect if the first search result was always a robot who mansplained your search results to you incorrectly?"
This is the way

Imagine having an argument so untenable that you were defending inanimate objects above human beings.
Terrifying. They also know climate change is real and that we will be fighting over resources. Much better for the money hoarders if we fight each other instead.
As is usual in a Fascist state, scapegoating any type of minority is used to divert attention from what is doing to destroy the existing form or government.Media outlets like Fox "News" help promote these distortions. Americans that still believe in democracy need to call these lies out immediately.
He also has a warrant for his arrest in his home country. Of course he is a wanted criminal. So tell me why is he allowed to stay in the US to evade arrest?
Great. Considering the fed wont do shit, I don’t feel the need to pay taxes into the fed. I’ll only pay state taxes from now on.
GORKA: Instead of blaming an inanimate object, which is the weapon, how about addressing the human being instead? KEILAR: DHS cut funding in July to the Minnesota Dept of Safety and the Hennepin Country Sheriff's Office in July that is the kind of funding used to assess mass violence threats
CEOs are trying to convince you that quiet quitting is worse than wage theft, while they plan on replacing you with a robot. Unions know better. Happy Labor Day Weekend.
Quiet in the bookshop today, but luckily there are books and tea…
I thought they were one and the same?
The motherfucker has convinced himself, in his tiny demented mind, that he is the savior of all humanity. THAT is what is going on here.
Covid posting divisive? Covid is what is divisive. It tends to kill the unvaccinated more than the vaccinated - too say nothing of long-Covid
You don't fight fascism and medical disinformation by trying to placate the eugenicist fascists.
I’ve heard from a couple of messaging strategists now that people shouldn’t post so much about COVID19 vaccines because it’s “divisive”. I am here to say that I do not give a damn what is popular. I will never ignore scientific evidence for the sake of expediency, and neither should anyone else.
#Atheist We deserve all the credit.
Watch what happens with gun violence statistics in Florida. This is significant: Florida House passes bill to lower age to buy certain guns to 18 The bill would undo a law passed after the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School that killed 17 people. www.wtsp.com/mobile/artic...
Statistics also show that the number of mass shooting deaths—all mass shootings, not just school shootings—decreased during the 10-year period in which Congress banned assault weapons (1994-2004). The ban saved lives. The author of this article is a trauma surgeon and professor of surgery at NYU.
I just thought of a great way to reduce school shooting statistics

He's fighting to breathe. This asshole needs to be fired and brought up on brutality charges.
🚨🚨🚨 This IG video did not give a location or any additional information. I usually require more information, but not in this case. This looks like a school and the victim looks like a kids. Who is the perpetrator here in uniform?
Little kids are having to use their bodies to shield friends from gunfire while armed soldiers are busy picking up trash.
