I assume he refused to spell it correctly because he thinks France is gay.
That tracks. Your garden variety bigot tends to be quite dumb. If only they'd use some of that energy to better themselves...
Pretty amazing point in history: we have an administration in place that we distrust so thoroughly that we assume we might not be told if the head of state were to die.
As we begin a new month, my law firm is litigation 51 voting and election cases in 25 states. 6 in Arizona 6 in Georgia 4 in Florida 4 in North Carolina 8 involve redistricting
Weird White House Window Heaving:
Somebody is throwing things out of a window of the White House wtaf
Hell awaits, Donnie.
As rumors fly that Trump has suffered a stroke, I was reminded that the motherfucker has always been a loathsome piece of shit. To make more money with a different tenant, Trump threw 74-year-old widow, Mary Filan, who had recently suffered a stroke out of her Queens apartment.
I had just rescued a cat from a tree when I was clipped by a truck skateboarding home. My lawyer and drug dealer arrived at the urgent care immediately to oversee my care. This is the only statement authorized by Mayor McCheese. Signed, Lurch. What is everyone not getting??
Creative writing prompt: Make a simple press statement about a car accident sound suspicious on at least three different levels.
Oh, no! Now ICE is sad 😔😔
"These small wrought iron shackles from the (Lincoln) Shrine’s collections were likely used as handcuffs to restrain an enslaved child or small adult." I know y'all mean well, but this is not new to America. In order to deal with where you are, you must reckon with where you've been. Ijs...
A federal judge blocked WH plan to deport unaccompanied Guatemalan children, calling the move illegal and dangerous. This happened moments before deportation.
He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
They loaded up those planes with children - some as young as 10. I don’t believe they had a safe place to go in Guatemala. And the government did not care. This admin is the least compassionate of any in my lifetime.
EYE ON THE PRIZE
Relatable.
🤷♀️🤦♀️
Trump at his golf club today. He hid from the public for days and won’t let the press pool near him.
National Guardner? National Park Service workers laid off, and now the National Guard is doing landscaping in DC. Felon Trump really turned soldiers into gardeners.
🇱🇹 Lithuania has begun installing "dragon teeth" near the borders with Russia and Belarus. 🗣️ The country's Defense Ministry explains that this is only the first step in creating the Baltic Defense Line - a joint long-term plan of Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Poland.
Don't forget the greed.
Jones: I would say to my colleagues who serve in government—keep your thoughts and prayers, keep your tweets. If you want to address gun violence, you don't need to tweet. What you need is a mirror. You have the power to change things.
"Illegals" is code for racist white guys hating on Black and brown people who are doing better than them. And it's ALWAYS been this way. Many of you are just now noticing.
“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.
Again I ask, when is the conversation going to turn to who are Trump and his flunkies REALLY working for?? Because it certainly isn't the US. All of their decisions are those of an administration trying to take down a country from within. Let's call traitors, traitors, loudly and with proof.
Sounds like the idea is to let companies operate on the "honor system" and police themselves. We know how that works. BASTARDS! 😾🦇
That's not an earthquake, Virginia. That's just RFK spinning in his grave.

It’s likely CA GOP is responsible for mailers sent to Californians falsely claiming League of Women Voters opposes Prop 50, re redistricting. LWV’s statement below, they are taking a neutral position. Please spread the word. Stop the GOP disinformation. Vote for Prop 50 #Prop50 lwvc.org/prop50/

"The American Slavery 2.0 project is a brilliant conceit precisely because it dovetails so many MAGA governing principles into a single, big and beautiful policy." — @schaller67.bsky.social
Kennedy might have prospered had he simply been content to continue slapping a MAHA coat of paint on the good work of the government’s actual scientists. Instead, he seems determined to rip the engine out while the car is hurtling down the interstate.
I wonder how Chump will try to distract from this. Invade Chicago probably. Let Fox cover Chicago. Everyone else pay respect to the victims.
Boycott them from yhis point on. Keep our money 💰 out of their stores and restaurants! Do them like Target and Walmart! www.cnn.com/2025/08/28/b...
ICE attacks a pregnant mom, while her kids watch 🤬😔 36.33% of Americans didn’t feel the need to vote 🤔
White guys are not ok. Anybody who but actuallys this comment is instantly blocked. Clean up the moral mess in your families, friend groups, and churches before you get in your privileged feelings over a Bluesky post. Good day.
CHICAGO…
I wonder why Trump imposed secondary tariffs only on India for buying Russian oil while not caring about all the other countries who buy Russian oil?
I'm sure the Legion of Doom will stall until they can't anymore. For sure, they will lie about it. He could die on the toilet like Elvis and they'd say he was protecting Melania from a crazed leftist.
The book with the nudey drawing Cheeto wrote will be in congress on the 8th of Sept. I want to see Cheeto squirm around this one!
“…I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it.” My latest in @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/honoring-a...
I've suddenly noticed this chatter on social media. Please let it be good news.
More proof that people become addicted to power and authority. I bet she doesn't even love law and order or justice being served. She loves lording over people. Go towards the light, lady.
Fascinating new study in @science.org shows that prebunking improves *discernment* of election misinformation with biggest effects among Reps with greatest initial misperceptions about election fraud & lowest trust in the election. Prebunking outperformed debunking. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
The Trump Administration is undoing protections for 60 million acres of pristine wilderness across the country, including 2 million right here in Oregon. This is an incredibly shortsighted and backward decision.

The only news article I've ever read about anyone being attacked in a ladies' room was a cishet male stalking a child.
This father nails how silly this manufactured problem is compared to real problems.
TEXAS: “Would I be required to carry my birth certificate to the restroom because I have short hair? Is there anything in it to protect people like me?” REP. ORR: “No. It protects biological females.” @jessicafortexas.bsky.social : “That’s what I am.” More: www.fox7austin.com/news/texas-h...
Of course Soviet and neo Soviets exist, Nazis still exist and so do confederates. States or political movements may disappear but their loyal subjects do not. There are still Soviets out there trying to destroy our democracies and hard fought rights, they didn’t just stop after the USSR fell.
RFK Jr is what happens when the many, many, many speedballs you injected don't kill you.

And exploiting these struggling countries is despicable. They consider migrants trash and all of Africa a garbage can. So evil.

When a president decides to disregard the will of the American people, you’re right, that’s the mark of authoritarian rule. The White House has notified Congress that it plans to cancel $4.9 billion in foreign aid funding that lawmakers had already approved, doing so without their consent.
Excellent question.

Israel destroyed Gaza’s health system. Now thousands of children with rare diseases are suffering—and dying, writes Asem Al-Jerjawi.
They’re traumatizing kids.
Go after ALL of them and don't worry about how the right-wing echo chamber is gonna spin it. Follow the law and tag 'em all. State and federal charges wherever applicable. Make it difficult for them to slither away from accountability.
The new acting head of the CDC is not a doctor, has no public health experience, and is connected to and sponsored by Peter Thiel. What could go wrong!
You know it's bad when a soulless, power hungry, goon like this is giving up and going home. Tired of making excuses for absolute madness? Good.
South Louisiana here. Yep, crime is a thing because only punishment matters here. Repub politicians don't believe in early intervention or education or attracting well paying 21st century jobs or rehabilitation. Just lock em up and use them as slave labor. Dumb, bigoted, and corrupt-that's Loserana.
Newsom: “Just consider Speaker Johnson's state and district. Just look at the murder rate, that's nearly four times higher than California's in Louisiana.” Johnson: “He can name-drop me all he wants. He needs to go and govern his state and not be engaging in all of this.”
They told Denmark to calm down not because what they are saying isn't true but they don't want the whole world to know about it. #USDemocracy www.bbc.com/news/article...
The U.S. tariff exemption for package shipments valued under $800 is ending permanently, according to officials under the Trump administration.
Mike Johnson dismisses the unpopularity of the Big Beautiful Bill: "The individual provisions of that giant piece of legislation are wildly popular." CNN host John Berman immediately debunks that claim.
It's the 20th anniversary of #HurricaneKatrina so #CBSNews decided to head to Biloxi, MS and interview a bunch of white people, including the Republican mayor, about it. F*ck you, CBS. And f*ck America's endless love affair with casual racism and the erasure of Black people's stories.
HOLDING STRONG: As more people realize greedy corporations are screwing us all, a new poll shows that an astounding 68% of U.S. adults approve of labor unions. This is the fifth consecutive year in the 67% to 71% range, a level last reached in the late 1950s and early 1960s. #SolidaritySeason
