“The world's leading genocide scholars' association has passed a resolution saying that the legal criteria have been met to establish Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, its president said on Monday.” 86% of those who voted backed the resolution.
Sad to say, add it to the list of SCOTUS debacles.
We do not fully grasp how damaging the SCOTUS’ presidential immunity decision was. What we know is it was a disaster and the huge damage it has caused is being compounded daily. That is because the result is a collaboration between corrupt justices, a supine Congress and a demented President.
All of Giuliani’s life events that I know about hit like season ending cliffhangers where you’re like ‘How’s he gonna get outta this one?’ People forget that Four Seasons Landscaping debacle was All Him, which is understandable because he also committed actual sexual harassment in a Borat movie.
9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
ETTD. RFK Jr is a dead man walking. He just hasn’t realized it yet.
The police version of the crash, as relayed by a local Manchester reporter, is unsurprisingly quite different from what Giuliani's spokesman says. The whole thing is even more murky now, however. manchester.inklink.news/rudy-giulian...
Tulsi Gabbard is *very obviously* a foreign intelligence asset and I hope we all live long enough to see her tried and convicted for it.
There is no explicit prohibition against the President cancelling elections, so it's hard to see why liberals think they are entitled to elections in 2026 and 2028. by Jonathan Turley

Remember when Hillary coughed and the media were practically writing her obituary?
Because he’s not a Dem. Easy question.
F acceptance. Quarrel with disappointment. Complain.
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.
here's today's post: "Chicago cordially invites the Mad King to go fuck himself" — Chicago will not comply with Donny’s police state fascism. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter so you never miss a post —
Yeah, f that.
The entire fascist plot relies on us being terrified and sad. This is why they’re constantly trying to scare everyone with theatrics. They want you to see him as unstoppable and not as a 79-year-old with severe health problems who will die soon.
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."
Do. Not. Miss.
He didn’t nominate or confirm himself.
Awful. The Sikh community does so much good in Australian emergencies.

Welch: Am American president talks to other American citizens like that, and propagandists come on TV and normalize this behavior. And nothing about this is normal. Nothing
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
Wrong as usual. An emerging majority of Americans are learning to embrace MAGA.
We remain free to resist. We just don’t. Worrisome.
"This is why liberals operate solely in reactive mode when it comes to Trump: Trump is the one constant when all else is chaos. This is a very unhealthy habit. We have a much better chance of combatting autocracy if people are creative instead of reactive." sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/mafia-stat...

Our leaders in Washington could learn a thing or two from some of the best elementary school students here in Illinois.
It’s his entire program: power for power’s sake.
Why not? Who’s going to stop him? Larry O’Donnell?
I don’t care what he did with his weird cosplay friends. It’s Col. Lee. Distant ancestor of hero Gen. Arthur Lee.

Elissa Slotkin is a very effective messenger. Shame it’s for the GOP.
More or less universally a country seeking to limit foreigners studying in that country is a sign of a society, culture, great power in severe decline.
I would like to remind people Trump literally posted Obama’s personal address and a lunatic follower of his showed up there the next day armed to the teeth. You might not have heard about it because places like the NYT never reported it (they reported the gunman but not the Trump part at all!)
Reverse the polarity. Get more angry and fired up than ever. Only way forward.
Whether it's Barack Obama asking for dijon mustard or RFK Jr. asking for a vaccine ban that will kill hundreds of thousands of Americans, there have been unusual requests on both sides of the aisle.
🚨 Labor Day - Bernie is making a special stop in Maine on his Fighting Oligarchy Tour to rally w/ two powerhouse candidates: 🌊 Graham Platner - oyster farmer, Marine vet, and bold challenger to Susan Collins 🌲 Troy Jackson - logger, union leader, and working-class champ for Governor Eyes on 2026 👀
He knows Drumpf is dying. He is practicing turning the corner from Drumpfism. Thinks he can be The One True Leader(tm).
And you are…?
It won’t even be news once we’re back to millions of preventable deaths - again.
Oh. Any steps you’re planning to take?
remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature
You think we weren’t prepared for the last pandemic ….
People are standing up. Talking back. In some cases, refusing to resign. Keep. Going. Good trouble. Loud trouble. Inspiration and education.
And that’s with full propaganda support from the whole of corporate media and no Dem opposition to speak of.
Drones have changed modern warfare. The Pentagon is behind.
Today in Business Entities, we talked about some of the revelations from the Facebook whistleblower. It seems like it was new information for many of my students. In case you missed this from a few years ago: this is 3:40 minutes from her interview on 60 Minutes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Z6R...
Its obvious. The GOP is militarily invading Blue strongholds to minimize Blue turnout in midterms. It's not about crime, immigration, or public safety and saying 'it's just a distraction' takes away from its evil intent. Please RP. @repbonamici.bsky.social @wyden.senate.gov @merkley.senate.gov
The GOP is the NRA is the GOP is the NRA.
Don't get it twisted. Trump is having the National Guard pick up trash to debase them. He hates the military. He is incapable of understanding anyone who would make sacrifices for the greater good. He thinks they are suckers and losers, and he's treating them as such.
So cool. Can’t wait!
Thank you. Us mere commenters also have no patience for that schtick.
Is there any evidence that they object to being played like this?
And you are…?
If you support the NRA, work for the NRA, vote against common sense gun controls (and almost all limitations on the ownership of guns are common sense), then your finger is on the trigger every time one of these maniacs you have enabled commits another one of these nearly uniquely American crimes.
Schools Theaters Concerts Malls Churches Synagogues Mosques Parks Nightclubs Offices Festivals Stores Military Bases Bars Post Offices Yoga Studios Super Bowl parades Nowhere is safe from the scourge of gun violence in America. You can't tell me we must simply accept it.
As kids return to school, another mass shooting has stolen young lives. Children shouldn’t fear their classrooms. Teachers shouldn’t risk their lives. Parents shouldn’t wonder if their kids will come home. We are the only country with more guns than people—and this is the devastating result.
Frey: And don't just say, this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school. They were in a church.
Just don’t do anything - that’s the focus, right? Do Nothing(sm)
Any White person that tells Black people to be patient in their pursuit of justice is an enemy. This tactic has been used to delay our progress for centuries. It’s a tell-tell sign they are attempting to pacify you, rather than become an ally in our cause.
I LOVED it.
Google “learned helplessness.”
"An initiative aimed at boosting Democrats online offers influencers up to $8,000 a month to push the party line. All they have to do is keep it secret—and agree to restrictions on their content." www.wired.com/story/dark-m...
I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees. No refugee underfunded a school. No refugee closed a hospital. No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled. We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!
It is Wednesday and on Wednesdays we sign up to canvass. zohranfornyc.com/events
Dems will never leverage this for propaganda. And hence it will be irrelevant.
“How To Lose”
Gov. JB Pritzker just gave a very strong speech against deployment of the National Guard to Chicago. I nominate him for Jeff Tiedrich's hero of the day.
This could happen anywhere…. Rainbows abounding.
Tyrants govern through fear. Dictators take their power from the acquiescence of the good people who don't speak out. It is our obligation as citizens to set aside fear and take a step forward not a step back.
And you are planning to take which specific actions?
Confrontation works, folks.
“This is about the President of the United States and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.” – Gov. J.B. Pritzker
DINO Time!
Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?
Protecting the Russian aggressor makes the war bloodier and longer. And that is just what we are doing. Good reporting by WSJ here but poor choice of photo. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...
I know! I know! “I am stupid. Please pass the paste.”
"Mamdani’s proposals would make the city more livable for working people while improving public goods — from transit to child care — that benefit everyone, including those footing a slightly higher tax bill."
Promise?
“All will learn to play the piano.”
Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.

Pritzker: Trump looked at the cameras and asked for me personally to say, Mr. President, can you do us the honor of protecting our city? Instead, I say, Mr. President, do not come to Chicago. Your remarks about this effort have betrayed a continuing slip in your mental faculties
Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.

Egyptian Gov’t Employees Filmed Grabbing and Beating Two Egyptian Americans in New York
As you watch the extraordinary spectacle of Trump's government attempting to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda, let's not lose sight of just how lawless and indefensible Trump's misconduct has been all throughout. Here's a thread recapping all of it. 1/
