There's no cell signal at the Mish, so this is from last night. Umphrey's Mcgee! (yes, again...)
Unphrey's Mcgee!

An enormous crowd marching in DC right now against Trump. Don’t forget to subscribe: www.dworkinsubstack.com/subscribe

They can't monitor the crosswalk forever...
Tax the rich!
As soon as they went woke? I am really curious - when was that?
💙 MEN….SUPPORT WOMEN!!! 👇👇👇👇👇
Stop the billionaire takeover and corruption of Trump's administration. Defend Medicaid, Social Security, and other working people programs. Fully funded schools/healthcare/housing for all. Stop the attacks on immigrants/Black,/indigenous/trans and all vulnerable people. Invest in people not wars.
Colorado peeps! I plan on protesting in Denver on Labor Day. It's a Workers Over Billionaires protest. Check it out at: www.mobilize.us/mobilize/eve... Join me! Not in Denver? Find your event at www.mobilize.us/map/?date=20...
WTF?

Cake!
We all know sex crimes don't count especially if you're rich.
DMB!
Primus!
I wish I could help them. But the government just cut the NSF and my employer who is funded by the NSF may fire me. I don't have any money any more to help. The only people who can help are the rich. I would start writing Bezos, et al, a letter. That's all you've got anymore.
It's also hard to have empathy for a state that kills pregnant women. When it's their house, it's all "help me". When it's a pregnant woman dying of sepsis, it's all "that's how it is".
If only Texas had gone for Kamala, it wouldn't be in this mess.
We don't have any money to donate anymore. The rich people have it all. We could have taxes them and used FEMA to help with these disasters. Instead, people are going to have to be more self-reliant. This is the way of the MAGA republic. Sorry if it hurts. It's true.
Phish night 3!
Phish night 2!

Americans celebrate Canada Day by singing #OCanada at the embassy in Washington DC “We stand on guard with thee” @cdnhistorynews.bsky.social @thirdactorg.bsky.social @maxfawcett.bsky.social @theglobeandmail.com @billmckibben.bsky.social
It's clear we need to vote Congress and the President out. Get rid of the lot of them. Start fresh. After replacing Congress and the President, they can add more justices to the Supreme Court and get some better judges in there.
JD Vance, why do you hate America?
The Democrats have got to go. They are in bed with big money just like the Republicans. We need new leadership all around!
John Oliver needs to hear about this...
I think this is in Atlanta. An address without a city isn't really an address.
Just to be clear: peaceful protest is as American as it gets. But when insurrectionists were beating cops in his name, Trump never deployed the National Guard. That tells you everything.
The Republicans may have brought about the end of America. The GOP has been a dying party. That was obvious. But I did not expect them to get so weak that they allowed an authoritarian to get a hold of the party and destroy our democracy. Shame on the Republicans that let this happen.
I have a "no name calling" policy. If someone has to call someone a name to make their point, they aren't worth listening to. If they had a strong argument worth listening to, they wouldn't need to resort to name calling.
Try making your point without calling people names. Resorting to name calling, you lose credibility. Also, why are you using female body parts to insult someone? Is it bad to have a pussy? Is it bad to be a woman? Misogyny much?
As soon as you start calling people names, you have lost the argument. Try making your point without calling someone a "twat". Also, why are you using female-terms to insult someone? Misogyny much?
As soon as you call people names, you are no longer worth listening to. Try making your point without calling someone a "pussy". Also, why is "pussy" an insult? That's a misogynist name to call someone. Is having a pussy a bad thing? Is being a woman a bad thing? What does your insult say about you?
As soon as you call someone a name, you're no longer someone worth listening to. Try making your point without calling someone a "twat".

The Republican plan is to let people die in the streets. They are now saying the quiet part out loud. Somebody needs to fill her in on Marie Antoinette.
The Republican plan is to just let people die in the streets.
Makes you want to quit reading all the click bait posts. Not only are they annoying, now they aren't even real information. AI may be the death of social media.
My drug prices doubled in the past month. I guess only rich people get the 85% discount.
We need a better name for this since men are often the victim and sometimes women are the perpetrator.
If we want real reform: ✅ Raise wages ✅ Require employer-based coverage, or better yet, provide universal coverage for all Americans ✅ Stop using public programs to bail out corporate greed The problem isn’t people on Medicaid—it’s the corporations putting them there.
If we as a country want to end birthright citizenship, we can do that. It just takes amending the Constitution. So tired of this administration just assuming they can wish things into being without following our laws.
My monthly generic inhaled steroid for my asthma cost twice as much this month as it did last month. My medicine costs are looking to double. I'm very tired of "winning" so much.
I have been enjoying Le Poisson Steve!
Rev. Barber has been arrested with me before standing up for women's right to bodily autonomy.

Republicans are the party of felons, drunks, and sexual predators.
No photos tonight, so all you get is the stage before he starts... Paul Simon!

I use a similar technique that I learned from a meditation book to fall asleep. I practiced this for about a month, and now I can pretty much fall asleep without issue.
In 1990, thousands of Americans with disabilities decided to stop waiting for elected officials to act. Their efforts changed the minds — and the votes — of elected officials and resulted in the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act. We can’t wait for our leaders to act. We have to lead.
No.
That's the point of all this lawlessness. Make people afraid to come here. Trump rules by fear.
From the Denver Hands Off! protest on Saturday.
We keep inspiring people to speak up. 5 million this time. Next time 10 million. Everyone bring a new friend. Then 20 million the next. That's the idea. Just keep inspiring to speak up and get them in the streets.
Eventually if we have to escalate to the point.
We are only incubators to MAGA.
As working families are struggling to get ahead Senate Republicans are pushing a budget that would kick people off their health care And they blocked Democratic amendments to stop tax breaks for billionaires. WATCH: www.youtube.com/shorts/9y1FA...
They are pissed they can't steal our social security so they are destroying the program so they can. #BillionairesShouldNotExist
Actually, it's the billionaires. They bought the government. You'd think they'd run it better, but short term profits are more desirable than long term government stability.
It's against the law to be pregnant. :(
You are an inspiration. I was fired up before, but you have given me an energy boost. Thank you, Senator Booker!
The Right has become a party of criminals, cchild molesters, and grifters. What does the Right say - "If you don't want to be arrested, don't do illlegal things."
Maybe Denmark will annex us!
They want to terrorize them so others get the message.
Bring back Periods for Pence. Women in states with abortion bans might want to start calling the government for every period where there might have been unprotected sex the month prior. Maybe you need to bury that tampon because it might contain a fetus. I'm sure your government needs to know!
Are you making plans to attend?
I wish I was still in DC... #FamiliesOverBillionaires
The system isn't working for them, so they want to burn it down and let something else rise from the ashes. Trump is a flawed leader, but they believe that only a flawed leader will be able to bring it all down.
When you get a transplant, they surpress your immune system. If you get the flu or COVID, you will die, wasting the precious heart you've been given. If you want the transplant, get the vaccines.
This is the Republicans plan. If you aren't in the 1%, the best thing yoo can do for your country is to die in the street.
Feeling this.
No. This was not staged. A special effects person would not know all the ways a person can get grazed with a bullet. Just a big no.
The Republicans health care plan - and now their retirement plan - is to let people die in the streets.
Everyone Orchestra!
Which means we're fucked.
There is very little fraud in social security. The continue to insinuate that there is so they can dismantle it.
NEBRASKA CROWD: “TAX THE RICH! TAX THE RICH!” @USRepMikeFlood: “So your proposal to solve (the debt) is tax the rich?” NEBRASKA CROWD: *CHEERS WILDLY* (not sure this went quite as he planned 😬)
That's what I say. Get rid of the filibuster. It only helps Republicans and hurts Democrats.
The Senate Democrats totally own what comes next. We the People are our only hope.

This!
Hickenlooper's staffer told me he is voting no on cloture and the CR. \o/
If you are for this CR, then vote yes. If you are against it, then vote no. If you vote yes, we know you are with Trump. If you vote no, we know you are for the People. Please choose wisely. Tell the Republicans to send you a CR you can support or else shut it down.
Hickenlooper is my senator. I've been urging people to call him. Glad he is on our side - the side of the People!
Call your Senators tomorrow! Particularly if you have Democratic senators. Tell them not to do any deals with the Republicans until they re-establish the rule of law. Shutting down the government is the only bargaining power they have to stop the Republicans from destroying government for good.
Because we need a bit of levity nowadays, here's a video about how bad ass hamsters are. <3
