The tide is rolling in on us.
From Paul Krugman today:
Trump claims to be the president for the working class but has just taken the bargaining rights away from over a million government workers.
What do you mean “we”? I voted for her.
I’m not supposed to be laboring on this Labor Day, but I did want to address one question on a lot of people’s minds: WTF is up with Donald Trump?! open.substack.com/pub/statusku...
This seems important:
Does anybody have any good news!
Yes. Son runs things now.
Do they think he’s sending troops to high crime areas? They’ll be sucking down deep dish in the west loop or hanging by the bean.
They are not allowed to actively police. Were they at Watertower this morning, what would they have been legally able to do to stop the robbery?
Well, with the Roberts Court, he has a point.
She clearly hasn’t followed you long.
Using tax dollars? They would’ve crucified Biden for this.
But why do they want to control blue cities? What is the outcome they are aiming for?
This quick, very worthwhile read.
Even bigger than the US Marines.
How is unhoused more precise than homeless? Yet it sounds so much more pretentious.
As soon as we see NG troops by the Bean or in Millennium Park and not Austin or Lawndale we’ll know it’s not about crime, it’s about intimidation.
Is she talking about the guy who could potentially pardon her?
In this article, Tom linked to a 2019 story I wrote about the Provo painter Jon McNaughton - who makes flattering portraits of Donald Trump and unflattering ones of Democrats.
The NYT editors are meeting every day, workshopping a passive voice phrase for Martial Law
They dare not set foot in my town.
Leopards eating faces strike yet again. He told them who he was and they still voted for him. Thoughts/prayers.
President Donald Trump plans crime crackdown in Chicago similar to DC Fuck this guy. They won’t get a warm reception here.
Once again - there are things you can learn about the United States only by being outside the United States. This is one of them.
The face eating leopard analogy has never been more apropos.
Because nothing says “you should feel free to come visit Washington” like standing in front of dozens of armed soldiers next to a guy who thinks women shouldn’t be able to vote 🙃
I often find myself saying "what a time to be alive" but friends, today, defector.com/it-took-many...
Do they still make furniture with so few people?
But 10 ice agents will tackle a guy with a fuckin weed whacker.
I would be proud if someone described me that way.
The phone number for the U.S. Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121.
Maybe they should go work for ice. I hear they’re hiring.
Full Moon from the ISS, 2022 📸 : NASA
The Thunderbirds dropped in to Chicago this weekend.
Lets face it the leaders of multiple European nations wouldnt have gone to Washington for any other president. They arent there because they back him, they are there because they dont trust him.
There won’t be any in Illinois if JB has anything to say about it. Fuck ICE.
Seems like it should have been a slam dunk. You’re a murdering monster. Stop or we’ll sanction you until the cows come home and give Ukraine all the Hymars we own. Whose side is he really on?
Didn’t a lot of those on the receiving end of this vote for the GOP? I guess they’re owning the libs now.
I have doubts

This is them leaving Elemenfdorf-Richardson.
So a partially state owned company competing in a free market against non-state entities? What keeps the government from regulating a giant thumb onto the scale in favor of said company? W T F?
I’m jus sayin it would be a shame if somtin happened to your pretty little prize der.
If it’s the “Golden Age” — the economy’s booming, wars are over, inflation’s gone, everyone’s happy, drug prices are down, Trump’s at 71% approval, and Democrats are universally hated — then why would Republicans need mid-decade gerrymandering just to hold the House?
This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.
Apparently, there have always been distracted boyfriend memes.
This is a list of events that have occurred in America in the last six months. When described plainly, it becomes clear that the US is an authoritarian country.
What a douchebag.
Mohamad Safa 🇺🇳 More than 93% of children in Gaza - around 930,000 - are now at critical risk of famine. Gaza doesn’t have enough food for the children. It’s not famine. It’s forced starvation. Forced starvation is an act of genocide.
Outrageous behavior of illegal Israeli settlers exposed tonight on UK Channel4News A Palestinian father is shot on his own land by Israeli land thieves, yet the IDF arrest the Palestinian man's son & not the Israeli settler who shot him. Trade with Israel should be banned in the UK & EU
The devil is in making these details. 😡
What an asshole
I cut video for a living and damn, I am jealous of this piece!
Centrists should understand progressives aren’t going away, nor will all be convinced of the errors of their ways. Progressives should understand centrists aren’t going away, nor will all be convinced of the errors of their ways. The anti-fascist common front needs each wing to tolerate the other.
This reminds me of the old joke with the punchline “grandma’s on the roof”. We are slowly being exposed to gentler and gentler treatment of Maxwell until one day soon they will release her and no one in the press or congress will make a peep.

Does the Senate get a say?
A reminder that on January 6th, neither Donald Trump nor any of the Republicans cheering on the Federal Siege of Washington, D.C., called for the National Guard or Federal Troops to protect Caroline Edwards from being beaten by the Republican mob.
Trump on January 6: Nancy Pelosi stopped me from sending the DC National Guard to protect the Capitol. Trump tomorrow: the President of the United States has complete control over the DC National Guard. Make it make sense.
Another Tennessee community is dealing with the same developers who are part of the Christian nationalist effort in Jackson County. MONDAY on @NC5 at 6PM, we travel to that county to investigate.
How much goes into his pocket?
But they weren’t allowed to be deployed on Jan 6? Does anybody believe he’s going to let congress back into session? It’s starting.
Holy shit.
He’s not going to let congress back, is he? This is the beginning of it all.
ICE looted their restaurant and tried to break into the safe. News chopper footage caught them backing their cars up to the door and carrying out cases of food.
No trial for you just death because we say so.
🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon & adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did 🩸🩸🩸
Or perogi I guess. I heard it was a bagel.
The current White House "landscaping", removal of all things beautiful, the flowers & the cherry blossom trees, followed by the cementing of the Rose Garden, is the perfect analogy to how life was before Trump & now after Trump.
This is just like letting Russian criminals out of jail to fight in Ukraine.

🚨 BREAKING: Senate Republicans just blocked the release of the Epstein files—in a weekend session. They don’t work weekends for your healthcare, but they’ll hustle to bury the names tied to a child sex trafficking ring. What are they so desperate to hide? Release. The. Files.
Someone do us a solid….Please!
If I were Dersh and I won the case, I DEF would not eat that bagel.
So we have a Russian mole at the top level of Trump’s advisors?
This is literally what we reported would happen. www.status.news/p/skydance-c...
Why give him until May to burn the place down nightly?
Didn’t CBS carry Edward R Morrow and his attacks on McCarthy? And then relegated him to a Sunday morning talk show after all was said and done?
It sounds just like him. Read it to yourself in that stupid sing song voice he uses when he talks about things being so beautiful so perfect.
Epstein mentored him.
Just going to leave this right here.
The wildest part of these preparations for Trump’s 🇬🇧 visit by the embassy is that nobody has done this in 🇺🇸 yet
I was going to donate but now I need to double my commitment to npr.
Many people think the world is round. Others think it’s flat. We’ll be broadcasting from a diner in Iowa all week talking to those at the center of this debate.
He doesn’t remember nominating Jerome Powell.
