You should “Tap” into that urge and do it.
Republicans would call this making America great again. Lifespan average of 40.
"Blueskyism" helped make The Onion one of the largest newspapers in the world in less than a year. If we had spent all of our time on Twitter, we'd be poorer, dumber and terminally ill with internet poisoning. He's just angry he's wasting away over there in a nazi agnostic lane that doesn't exist.
Trump looks dead tired.

Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.
Where’s Jake Tapper with the definitive story?!
Happy Labor Day! In my former life as a print journalist, the only reason I came close to a living wage was because of unions. Organized labor helps to slow the transfer of wealth upward. Keep fighting. 👊
Fatality.

Rudy Giuliani happened to be in the middle of one of his favorite pastimes - RESPECTING WOMEN - when he suddenly broke every single bone in his body. Please do not call and ask any questions because his business partner is taking care of him ❤️
🚨SHAME!!! This is NOT a criminal; he was sitting on a park bench. 🚨 1/2
🤣🤣🤣
He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
Pritzker on Trump sending troops into cities: "He has other aims other than fighting crime... he would like to stop the elections in 2026 or frankly take control of those elections. He'll just claim there's some problem with an election and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control."
This is Parker, she was shot in the head in Los Angeles for protesting ICE kidnappings and ethnic cleansing. She recovered and is now back to protesting because in times of fascism nobody can afford to do nothing. “We need everybody” “I call for revolution, it starts here” #3E
Trump’s legions of lickspittles have no shame or conscience.
Good!
Turns out Trump just spent a weekend at Bernie’s 💀
Like a walking corpse 🧟
ICE are murderers.
🚨Children🚨Killed by🚨ICE Say their names. Their lives mattered and their deaths were govt. sanctioned murders. 1/2
Cankle Barrel got me 🤣🤣🤣
Release the Epstein files.
Ha. Haha. Haaa. I get it.
Why do you appreciate unions? I’ll start: Weekends off Paid vacations Work breaks Sick leave Paid holidays No child labor Safer working conditions Health care and retirement benefits
ICE took 2 firefighters OFF THE FUCKING FIRE LINE!?
CHICAGO…
Happy #Caturday from our two lazy cats, Roscoe the Rascal (gray) and Nimbus the little cloud princess. 👸
Bluesky right now ...
‼️‼️
Incredible how these guys can lack the minimum level of self awareness to say “oh hey I sound like a marvel villain.”

Monty Python vibes youtu.be/Sp-pU8TFsg0?...
New acting director of CDC Jim O'Neill expressed being pro paid organ donation. "There are plenty of healthy spare kidneys walking around, unused."
Joni "We're all going to die" Ernst to step down. Yay.
ICE kidnapping a mother as her child begs the officers not to take her. Heartbreaking 💔 😢
Fucking ghouls.
Mike Johnson makes clear that when Congress returns next week he's going to work tirelessly to cover up the Epstein files
Unfortunately the Trump GOP is rife with dirty rats to take her place.
Welp, that explains the "We're all going to die" quote to her constituents. Joni Ernst just doesn't give a fuck.
Don’t look away
Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond. Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around. Get involved with the @democraticredistricting.com as they fight back: bit.ly/3HJ1ayW
we are on the dumbest timeline its fascism but dumb fascism.
Americans are taking out second mortgages to afford hamburger, but by all means Trump should focus on the most pressing problems of 'woke' logo redesigns!
If someone tells you there's nothing we can do about gun violence beyond thoughts and prayers, remind them: —Gun laws in other countries have prevented mass shootings —More guns don't make us safer —A majority of Americans want gun reform We don't have to live like this.
Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadn’t happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.
Democrats need to purge whoever’s doing their marketing — top to bottom. Gah.
Thank you!

The only place to hide is another country with political leaders not ruled by the gun lobby.
AMERICA: “It’s a mental health issue.” REST OF THE WORLD: “We have those. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA: “It’s video games.” WORLD: “We have those too. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA B: “It’s cause they took Jesus out of the classroom.” WORLD: “God, you’re stupid.”
Trump loves this. He can sit there and smile and fill his Depends while his toadies pathetically fawn over him. Good grief!
Brutal. A humiliation ritual.
Have you heard the good news? This should give you a shot of hope and adrenaline! Americans don't like what Republicans are selling, and so even in deep red Iowa, a Democrat can win in a landslide! Congrats, to Iowa's new state Senator Catelin Drey! www.nbcnews.com/politics/ele...
💥 It’s even more obvious why the Texas GOP is trying to steal seats. Otherwise they’ll get their heads handed to them by angry voters.
Goons are targeting random individuals from minority communities cuffing them and hauling them off. "they must have a quota to make" Watch it unfold
Pritzker: Over the last four years, we have seen homicides drop in half. That’s something the President should pay attention to. I know he doesn’t read but I know he watches TV so perhaps if someone from Fox or Newsmax is here
Meiselas: Stop both-sidesing it, media. Stop trying to sow division within the Democratic Party when we literally have military invasions into American cities, aided and abetted by red state governors, who, again, are the takers who wouldn't exist without the blue states
Chief Fat Ankles lol 😂
Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."
🤣🤣🤣 Warning: Don't hit the speed bumps too fast with Leon's rolling dumpsters! 🤪
The fact that this administration is hell bent on punishing Kilmar Abrego Garcia while rewarding Ghislane Maxwell tells you all you need to know about their violent racism and misogyny.
Whatever he has the symptoms are being fat and bad at golf
Let’s be clear: deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda makes no sense—it’s not his home country. Nothing about this process has been fair. ICE is targeting him with cruelty. This is the weaponization of government, not justice.
Dems should swap out Hakeem Jeffries with Jasmine Crockett. They need that kind of fire.

🚨 Mayor Wu faces criminal charges because she is decent. We all know what ⏰ it is. Of course you are going after a female POC first. She is a “suspicious person” in 2025.
Happy #Caturday with a throwback picture from a few years back of our beloved Wolfie — may he RIP. He knew how to properly relax! #Cats #CatsofBluesky
The white cat is blind and has a best friend, a black cat, who is always by its side to guide it.

Here’s what was NOT released today: - the proffer agreement between Maxwell and the DoJ - the agreement transferring Maxwell to club fed - communications showing who waived Maxwell’s sex offender status allowing her transfer and possible work assignments outside prison - the Epstein files
So tired of mob fights breaking out at every fast-food place I go to. That's why I do drive-through windows and keep my head down while waiting. 😅 I think James Woods' brain is cracker meal.
Fox 17 Nashville reports that Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been released from criminal detention in Tennessee and is on his way home to Maryland. “Today, Kilmar Abrego Garcia is free,” his attorney, @sean-hecker.bsky.social, said in a statement. fox17.com/news/local/k...
🔥 Newsom rips Trump: “This chaos isn’t by accident. It’s because the president is weak, unpopular, and scared of the voters.”
Usually, I am no fan of gerrymandering by either party, but I am tired of fighting with one hand tied behind my back. Tired of bringing balloons to a gun fight. Tired of playing by the rules when one party stopped doing that decades ago. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

🚨🚨🚨We need to identify the man in the green shirt. I don’t know what is going on here, but I know this man is far too comfortable beating women. Thank goodness the cops are there. 😡
Bonus troll of Tim Apple, too. Epic. 😆
NEW: Gov. Gavin Newsom comments on California's new maps moving through the California legislature
And prices of gas, beef, groceries — basically everything — all soaring. Thanks MAGA. 😩
An unarmed veteran was attacked from behind, sustaining injuries and being dragged into a Portland ice building.
5 days ago in Anaheim, Calif. This is Trump's ICE America. We now look like Beirut.
Here, fixed it.
I wish more politicians understood how the economy is rigged against regular people the way Bill Burr does.
I still can’t believe this shit is allowed to happen in the U.S. 🤬
Heartbreaking For the crime of working
Gavin Newsom responds to Fox's OBSESSION with him
He’ll probably get three days off, knowing Shildt.

And for any who may not know, it's the Republicans who are hell-bent on siphoning all wealth to the super-rich, not the Democrats.
Mixed feelings about this. Most of what he says is true, but his statement that it's not about red or blue is flat-out wrong. One party consistently tries to help working families (when in power they can do more, for sure) while the other is hell-bent on transferring wealth to the top 5 percent.
But Donald Trump said we wouldn't have to pay his tariff tax. That Malaysia or China would take of it. 🤔
NEWS: Sony is raising the price of all PS5 models by $50 in the US. The company cites the “challenging economic environment,” including Trump’s tariffs (The Verge)
