No president gets to turn the military on our own people. Judge Breyer reminded Trump of that fact today. 🔗 shorturl.at/y9b6r
"The West" is obviously a euphemism for "white people"

“Let’s begin by saying that we are living through a very dangerous time.” So opens “A Talk to Teachers,” which James Baldwin delivered to a group of educators in October, 1963.
“Jobs disappear and the markets cheer.” On Labor Day 30 years ago, I issued a warning the growing divide between workers and the super-rich. Watch. youtu.be/8rW1kkAV-gw
This is the way
"She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it. She was not protecting lives at a gate in Iraq; she was forcing her way through windows in the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power." New from @markhertling.bsky.social:
It's right in front of our faces.
Doomers: The 2026 election doesn't matter, Republicans are just going to rig the whole thing anyway Various red state republican incumbents: I'm just going to quit now because if I run in 2026 I'm going to get absolutely killed
Octavia Butler predicted our dystopian present. What can a futurist learn from her chilling accuracy?
From October, 2024: Everything that has happened was predictable, and indeed predicted youtu.be/pHDVpBLMiFI?...
THIS…is the mindset. THIS…is the attitude. THIS…is the fire in the gut….that we are going to ALL have to adopt. I have. Have you? We can’t have people sit this one out…and still prevail.
How difficult is it to just say Trump is mobilizing an army against the people in the United States. He sees no foreign enemies.
Still no flood response.
I really don’t ever need to see a white person on TV talking about slavery. Unless they’re part of a panel that includes over 50% descendants of slaves hearing the descendants of slave owners voicing their opinions really does nothing for me.
This is important and serious. This is worth your time.
Why you all making instant coffee? If you can boil water for instant coffee, you can boil water for A pour over. My idea of emergency preparation is making sure I have a quality hand grinder.
Wait till Magda find out her husband is not there, but Cory Lewandowski is.
Just to be clear: these rising rates have nothing to do w RFK nixing boosters (though that's very bad), they're because both Democrats and Republicans have dismantled public health and no one is masking and taking airborne disease precautions. Our current vaccines don't stop transmission, MASK UP!!
Democratic Governors, you have to play hardball. Red states can't function without your economies. They clearly want to F around. It's find out time.
Mark Zuckerberg has spent $110M to buy 11 houses in one Palo Alto neighborhood. He's turning the homes into a compound. That's on top of his 30 bedroom, 30 bathroom compound in Hawaii and another in Lake Tahoe. I don’t want to hear that billionaires can’t afford a wealth tax.
Jobs data are fake. Climate data is fake. Crime stats are fake. Objective measurements of reality has a well-known liberal bias.
We should all stop by a sandwich shop on our way to the next protest. If you need it, you got it and if you don’t then hey, you have a snack for on the way home!
They know he’s one of their own
US army rolling the red carpet to murderer’s plane. I will never forget this image.

Well, I think it’s pretty much people looking at him and seeing themselves.
Notification about the Kennedy Center Honors:
To be fair crime got a lot worse in DC when they allowed a 35 time convicted fell to move into public housing
Authoritarian regimes are notorious for making people think what they perceive to be reality is not actually real. Sometimes this is called creating "unreality" sometimes "gas-lighting." It doesn't matter which label is used, the goal is the same: make people doubt what they see with their own eyes.
“ they have to take us serious now!”
It has to suck to not be able to pay the bribes to keep your business going
When Trump went back into the office with both the Senate in the house, I told my wife the only winners today are the artists. We can expect great comedy and music and visual arts because artists always respond.!
So they’re putting ice thugs and FBI vests now. These clowns are so sad and so horrible.
You know these folks got tons of practice back in the day when they were just white nationalists, taking a box truck to an action before fleeing the scene in the back of the truck.
The role of ice is to terrorize entire communities in blue states to beat them into submission. In red state, they’re just doing what the state government would like them to do.
Nice, but the big question should be phrased. Why did you cut snap benefits and give a massive tax cut to the top 1% at the same time?
I am expecting insurance companies to just stop ensuring Teslas in the near future. When a car is fundamentally more dangerous not just to the driver, but two other people on the road nobody’s gonna wanna underwrite that risk.
You overlook the fundamental principle that construction, especially of carefully crafted policy design for both efficacy and justice is difficult and cannot be achieved by fiat. Whereas just breaking shit up and hell with the outcome is simple as hell and can be done overnight.
Will everyone quit and roll over? The law firms, media companies, universities, government employees. Will you all cling to what you have and hope you can just ride it out, Republic be damned? Shame on all of you who don’t stand up, just remember we will never forget.
Is anyone asking him about the under oath allegations by “Katie Johnson” that he ra*ped her when she was 13? www.youtube.com/live/KZIsoai...
The woman may be able to do what no one could do in his first term and that’s be his perfect little liar… so she will never lose her job
Sure, accommodation is one thing endorsement is where the wine was drawn historically by the courts. Of course that was long ago before America went nuts.
I somehow doubt they ordered Korans, the Bhagavad Gita or Book of Mormon with the military crest on them.
You have to understand that violating the separation between church and state is a top priority. No norm left behind!
Let’s face a Tesla is essentially a lifestyle brand now. And not a very good one.
Apparently, the taco president likes a little variety in his bs
This is the problem when hacks who essentially depend upon the large of their boss, go ahead and fire, competent attorneys for essentially being competent. They sue your ass
The annual Perseid meteor shower runs from mid-July into August, but the best time to watch this colorful, cosmic light show is over the next couple of weeks. Vermont has no shortage of dark skies for meteor viewing — here’s what to know before you head out. www.vermontpublic.org/local-news/2...
Of course. If you can show me a republican politician, who is not a hypocrite, I would be shocked to death.
bell hooks: "The first act of violence that patriarchy demands of males is not violence toward women. Instead patriarchy demands of all males that they engage in acts of psychic self-mutilation, that they kill off the emotional parts of themselves. 1/2
This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office. 2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor. 3) Donors make a huge profit. 4) Repeat. For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.
Actually, it sounds like he has moved on to crack at this point
He fits the profile
And the victims are poor and working class kids. If you’re not looking at the Epstein list and seeing class warfare and exploitation at its worst, you’re missing the point..
I really like this Gavin Newsom.
Is anyone compiling a list of the religions right hypocrite creeps that get caught in child porn, soliciting minors, or embarrassing sex scandals?
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "This party needs to wake up. These guys aren't screwing around... They're assassins when it comes to the way they weaponize grievance and the way they play politics. Enough! What more goddamn evidence do we need? They have rolled back the last half century in real time!"
A lot of people need to hear this
The only thing surprising about this story is that the porn sounds surprisingly vanilla for one of these creeps.
Much of that money is literally transferred into his pockets via the expensing to his establishment. It’s not just a waste of money. It’s straight up self-serving graft.
When the Democrats regain control of the White House and the Congress, a first order of business must be to expand the US Supreme Court to 13 justices (one justice for every federal circuit), with all justices subject to term limits. Radical Justices are responsible for…: slate.com/news-and-pol...
In all seriousness, they could do a presser every Monday covering the indictments from the previous week. They would rarely have to cancel the pressor
This is truly insane. We are witnessing one of the most corrupt cover-up schemes in history—and it's all playing out in plain view.
He must really need her to either do something she’s currently doing for him or not do something. He’s desperately afraid someone would do if they had a job. He’s giving up the long game for a short term.
"Once you negotiate for your rights, you have already lost your fundamental dignity and are likely opening up a Pandora’s box of authoritarian abuse from which there may be no return."
He should sue her for every thing he has although I am not sure what he would do with a room full of outdated tech, a closet full of clothes that you’ll never get the smell out of an ancient Hugo and $53.22 but you know that’s his call.
As I said on Jubilee, Trump is the pro-crime, pro-criminal president.
Overheard: I'm surprised the nickname “Pedofuhrer" hasn't caught on yet.
Utah is not sending their best and brightest to Washington
It's me, it's me, it's me... 😊
It’s not that Trump will go down as the worst president that America has ever had, (he will) it’s that his followers will go down as the worst Americans we ever had (and that is very low bar).
This gives me hope that Americans aren’t necessarily all that dumb on the general curve for human beings
But it’s worse than that because a chunk of that money goes from the tax coffers into his pocket because it’s his property that’s charging the rents and selling the food to his Security team.
On our way
Or Republicans will recognize that their best bet is to support a national fair district law.
Come on New York join the party!
Oh, my heart 💔
Let that sink in for a sec.
For too long, our government stopped vigorously enforcing laws that keep Corporate America in check. Corporations got more powerful while our basic economic freedoms went unprotected. Former FTC Chair Lina Khan explains.
They are all Gym Jordan now
The best thing right now is to keep living your values and take care of yourself and others. The more caretaking we do now, the better for us all. Fascism is for losers. It's a short lived, violent disruption. Their time is up. 🥰
I kept it as an example of propaganda
Branching out from Renfield to Racist
The entire Republican Party is Gym Jordan now. Protecting sexual predators is their thing.
Howard Stern asked Trump how young Trump would go. When Quivers asks for his “age limit,” Trump starts out by saying he doesn’t have one — but then gives a point of reference that looks not great in any light, saying he would draw a line at “12 year-olds”: www.mediaite.com/media/news/t...
I'm not loving a country that pays its adults half as much to teach children to spell as it does to kidnap them.
