@joycewhitevance.bsky.social Before September 3, This is for all the Epstein File Survivors. I hope Pam Bondi gets what she deserves for lying to the American People! youtu.be/VCRnVwaoCYM?...

Targeting firefighters while they work. Dragging children from their beds in the dead of night. MAGA will go to any length. We’ve said it before, eventually the monster comes for us all!
China isn’t the reason to build solar—it’s the reason we can’t afford to wait. While US nuclear flatlines, China’s solar has already rocketed past it. The lesson isn’t to copy them—it’s that the transition is happening at breakneck speed. Delay now means falling behind forever. ⚡☀️ #EnergyTransition
"The straw man being put forward is that it's either we have the military or we're going to get our throats cut at night in DC. Is there no middle ground? Do local law enforcement account for nothing? We've got the National Guard GARDENING right now in DC. Is that an efficient use of our resources?"

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

Jesse Watters: “You weren’t ever on Jeffrey Epstein’s jet, were you?” RFK Jr: “I was on Jeffrey Epstein’s jet two times.” Release the freaking Epstein Files. Believe the survivors and their families. We want accountability.

Oh...poor them. The jack booted, anti democracy, country hating fascists can't go do their violent cos play. I know I'm gutted for them 🤦♀️😡

👆🤦♀️😡😡😡😡 But they aren't racist... remember?!😡😡😡🤦♀️🤯
😂🤦♀️🤢🤢🤢
When you say “covid is over” or refer to the pandemic only in the pastense you make it easy for RFK jr to withhold the vaccines & defund clinics. You make it easy for employers to end paid sick days. When you don’t mask up you make it easy to pass bans. We organize but what you do & say matters too.
😂
👇 And a supposed physician gave the thumbs up for the rest of them to vote this incompetent in all because blackmail? Can't walk away from their seat and retire? Afraid of maga constituents? All of the above? Their corruption & cowardice will kill us all.

Please do not act as though this girl, no matter the rot and disgustingness of her family,is being paid for giving grandpa gross,criminal access to her. You think a car is equivalent & wipes the slate for pedo/predator behavior? I have no words. I hope to be misinterpreting your framing.

If you say 'heteronormative' or 'unhoused person' or 'food insecurity' you're basically talking gibberish and nobody can understand you but if you say you can see inflammation in children at the airport and that vaccines lower IQ or that germs are a myth you get to fire all the scientists.
Trump’s plan to rename the Department of Defense as the Department of War shows (once again) that his self-characterization as the “pro-peace” candidate was complete bullshit. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...
Reminder: Most mass shootings are carried out by cisgender men.
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
Look South and you begin to understand.
It doesn't matter. I've seen this so many times. The onus falls to the child to keep the creepy uncle on r grandpa or cousin in line. That should not be a thing. It is not the child's responsibility. It's the adult responsibility to keep children away from predators. End of.

👆💯 Yes, and the United States of Amnesia has a way of forgetting-- consistently. So excuse me if hope wanes this nation has the collective attention span and will for anything but entertainment as that would take time, ethics & governance. People want a show & to move on in 30 seconds.
Careful. Cause there will be mass coverage around Trump taking up a lot of media attention and JD would already be sworn in doing damage that won’t be getting attention. It’s not like the GOP didn’t plan for this moment. Just keep eyes open in all directions.
Also, no matter what shape he's in, why would any of them let him near any grandaughters?!

Why Isn't Donald Trump's Declining Health Being Covered by Corporate Media? Where are the op-eds & news programs calling for Trump's resignation due to his declining health, impaired abilities, & march towards fascism? Oh, yeah, "both sides" corporate journalism. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...
I’m absolutely begging reporters to stop suggesting that Lisa Cook stated that she would use both properties as a principal residence on her mortgage APPLICATIONS Mortgage APPLICATIONS and mortgage AGREEMENTS are not the same thing We have no idea what she represented on the APPLICATIONS
Venezuela invasion by the Felon? Fascist dictators stir up jingoism. Extreme, belligerent patriotism characterized by fervent nationalism and a belief in national superiority, leading to aggressive foreign policies and a desire for military intervention!
Writing teacher advice for Democratic strategists: Your audience is NEVER everyone, and acting as though it is will lead to generalities that appeal on average but not in specific. You find your audience through specificities. Relying heavily on polls and consultants leads to tepid messaging.
For those unaware: RFK Jr has been spreading anti-vaccine lies for over 20 years. This is not new. This is not “since COVID.” He wrote a 2005 article in Rolling Stone blaming vaccine ingredients for autism. Be aware of this history. He is a millionaire because of the disinformation HE created.
Thousands of farm animals & livestock are going unattended. They aren’t being milked. They aren’t being fed. I feel a great deal more for those animals than for the farmers who voted for this shit. They KNEW who their workers were & where they came from. But they voted to hurt them anyway.
👆💯🙋♀️
Germ theory of disease had a good run since the 19th century, but now it's history in the GOP. Forget going to the doctor next time you get sick. RFK Jr will have a kook whip up some spells or incantations for you.

🚨Priest uses his body to attempt to stop ICE vehicles in Broadview, Illinois outside of a detention facility that has refused entry to members of Congress.

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)
I stand with Chicago. I stand with Mayor Johnson. 🚨 NEW: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson just signed an executive order to resist Trump’s federal invasion and occupation of the city. Details in 🧵

This is why I call COVID an airborne heart attack virus. After my 2nd COVID infection, I started having heart pain while pushing my toddler in their stroller. Before I turned 40. I’m an ER doctor. I know what “heart pain” sounds like. It was terrifying to experience it so young.
"Another picture emerged: that of small businesses being harmed by a president who was elected because of his purported business acumen; of a man whose obsession with appearing tough on crime now threatens to sabotage urban economies across the country."

Jones: I want to bring theology into this because you have all these people that want to give thoughts and prayers. But I was a minister, and that is a form of theological malpractice—when you pray for something you have the power to change.

Because sadly your press is following the same horrific path that the US press did with Biden versus Trump. All bad news about the economy under Biden even though it was better than almost anywhere in the world. Now Trump's in office you don't hear about it except BS lies. Beware!
Media should hound him at least half as much as they hounded Biden. But they won’t.
👇this!
RFK Jr. likes to claim that thimerosal in childhood vaccines causes autism spectrum disorder (ASD). So I wonder if he’d like to explain how the rates of ASD diagnoses in the U.S. have kept going up when thimerosal was removed from all childhood vaccines in 2001?
Trans people never stole the entire Social Security database and put every American at risk by uploading their personal information to an unsecure server. But Trump and Elon Musk sure did.
No matter what @MarshaBlackburn keeps saying, it’s not criminals they’re targeting. www.cnn.com/2025/08/30/u...
Clean energy isn’t “woke.” It’s an essential part of our energy future and saves us all on power bills. This administration’s war on offshore wind and solar is just going to raise Americans’ utilities.

You know who benefits most from antivaccine conspiracy theories as national health policy? Our enemies.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson just drew a line in the sand...refusing to let Trump’s troops or ICE turn his city into a staging ground. That’s not politics...that’s spine. Fire...fight...and the kind of defiance America needs right now.🔥
What a ridiculous person.
For those not savvy, and even if you are, please watch Rick Steves's special on public television, the history of fascism.
This is never going away, is it?

We're not done with #Covid19 yet! If you're unable to get vaccinated, stock up on masks. www.yahoo.com/news/article...
Whenever people bring up cool stuff that Western Europe has that the US doesn’t, I think, “cement in the pool.” White Americans in the north and south filled in public swimming pools rather than let Black kids swim with white kids. It’s racism. Racism is why the US doesn’t have nice things.

Dear Americans, welcome to the thrilling game of ‘Did this dictator die or just disappear for a day?’ We’ve been playing it with Putin and Lukashenko for decades. Enjoy the suspense.

Thank you for this. I miss her writing and style. She was epic. Though she (I think) and I both, naively, thought GW would be the worst of things. Yeesh.
