The real criminals in D.C.
Coffee prices are soaring. A pound of ground roast coffee now averages $8.41, up 33% from last year-NYT Great job, Donald.

Nuns from a convent outside Waco have repeatedly visited the women on Texas’s death row—and even made them affiliates of their order. Lawrence Wright reports on a powerful spiritual alliance.
“You cannot argue with stupid people. They will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience” -Mark Twain This is why the medical experts are leaving the CDC.
Repeat a lie enough times, with enough head nodding from sycophants, and… It’s still false.
The thing about Ashli Babbitt that I kept saying is that, for most of history, most countries would have strung up a bunch of the J6 folks in the capitol steps as a sign. And for good reason. This is what happens when you don’t.
Whelp, we all have to die sometime. See ya Joni🤨
Excellent question.
www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6sAWNR8/ BTW, I am not the only one ringing the alarm about the tone-deafness of Dem party leadership.
Cosplaying empathy?
Wait…was it metal detectors in every other nation in the world that isn’t experiencing a child gun-specific shooting epidemic the reason?

Victory.
It will take years to fix this level of ignorance. Every child born to a cult member has been infected. If education doesn't work, what's left, mandatory sterilization?
Thank you. Poetry (as all art forms) is a refuge and key expression when commentary alone fails to rise to whatever level an event stirs in human hearts.
It's time for poetry
"Anger can turn into activism... Activism can turn into pressure on elected officials and that pressure can turn into laws. It's not hopeless at all." Watch Jen Psaki's powerful remarks on turning anger over today's tragedy in Minneapolis into action against American gun problem.:
Good Question
Vanity Fair staffers threaten to walk out over a proposed Melania cover: “We are not going to normalize this despot and his wife… if this happens, i’m gone, and so is half my team.” www.thedailybeast.com/i-will-walk-...
This isn’t bad luck or coincidence or predestination. This is our choice. To live in a nation where our leaders teach hate, and military style guns are everywhere.
“As long as the general population is passive, apathetic, diverted to consumerism, or hatred of the vulnerable – then the powerful can do as they please, and those who survive will be left to contemplate the outcome.” Noam Chomsky
“Transparent”
Well, certainly his sycophants are 🙄
Just after SCOTUS granted it access to Social Security, DOGE uploaded a database containing the private information of hundreds of millions of Americans to an unsecure cloud. DOGE isn't fighting fraud — it's potentially exposing Americans to more of it. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/u...

Historian finds German decree banishing Trump's grandfather [for eternal from Austria]…
May his birthday candles burn down the whole facade.

This is what I tell my friends who don’t understand why I spend time on Bluesky or Substack.

The creative mind is so much more stronger (fun, and resilient) than the cruel, vindictive and small minded.
‘Bout damn time👹
US Congress 😏
Charlie Kirk is destroyed by a young man who did his research. It’s a beautiful sight to behold.
I’ve been treated for back problems in China. Got in for a standard (actually VIP because “you’re American *seriously*) care same day. Very affordable. 🤷🏻♂️🙄
Pam Bondi’s Power Play As much as pedophile Trump loves children, he is old, impotent. His only joy now comes from his cruelty and power. Bondi facilitates this need and knows this. She has no morals, no boundaries. She is going nowhere… Pam Bondi’s Power Play www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
“My budget has become double for food shopping”
A new study released this week presents the record ice melt on the Svalbard islands in summer 2024 as a glimpse into a future where other Arctic ice masses, including those on Greenland, could melt faster than currently anticipated.
Oh look ... Republicans are the victims again. Poor helpless pathetic little things. We should all feel sorry for her. Why is everyone so mean?
It's so painful watching this much stupidity. I really feel it.
"Only Nancy Pelosi had the power to call up the National Guard in DC."
Newsmax, the conservative cable outlet, has agreed to pay $67 million to resolve a defamation lawsuit filed by Dominion Voting Systems. The case stemmed from false allegations pushed on the network that the 2020 election had been manipulated.

He deployed the national guard to evict the homeless but not the insurrectionists.

Trump wants voters to believe America is ungovernable, and that the only solution is an authoritarian like him taking over. The more chaos, lies, and misinformation he spreads, the more likely people are to tune out completely. Do not.
that summit could've been an email
FOX REPORTER: “The way it felt in the room was not good. It did not seem like things went well. It seemed like Putin came in and steamrolled, got right into what he wanted to say, got his photo next to the president, then left.”
Gaza has sealed the fate of the West, even if the repercussions are not felt for decades. The damage has been done. There is no way to undo what has been witnessed by billions of people, both in the West and in the Global South.
The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?
Southern Europe is sweltering under life-threatening heat that could last through Monday, fueling wildfires that have left at least two people dead. In Spain, soldiers have been deployed to battle the fires and hundreds of people have evacuated. nyti.ms/46STog7
Stephen Miller tried to claim only real "Americans" built the Empire State Building, but he left out the true stories of the Indigenous ironworkers who actually did. The Mohawk Skywalkers helped shape America's skylines—and shatter the lie behind Miller’s whitewashed nostalgia.
Jordy: Not to put on my conspiratorial hat here, but you don’t just build a $200 million ballroom if you’re planning on moving out of the White House in three years.

Did you know? The U.S. spends about $12,900 per capita on healthcare, making it the highest in the world. For context, the per capita cost is only around $5,700 in Canada and $4,600 in the U.K.
Today, the word “Luddite” is used as an insult to anyone resistant to technological innovation. But a recent book argues that Luddism stood not against technology per se but for the rights of workers in the face of automation.
Wow. And that’s such a fine suit of clothes, Mr. Emperor🙄
Aren’t the Trump boys up for one of these hunts soon, or will they just have their secret service detail take care of it for them?
Unfortunately, this is where we are headed... shameful...🥺
Article 1, Section 9 & 10 have been removed from the official Govt website on the US Constitution. Among numerous points: •Section 9 forbids suspending The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus •Section 10 forbids ex post facto laws This better be a joke. Ignoring these is full blow dictatorship
Zionism is not Judaism Christian Nationalism is not Christianity The first ones are political & the second ones are religions. I hope this clears it up. Personally I’m atheist so I don’t believe in any of them BUT I respect someone’s religion if they aren’t trying to KILL people with it.
Dems should fight on every front. If Texas steals 5 seats, Dem states should redistrict 30 GOP members out of their districts. We should insist DOJ release the entire Epstein File. Not only shouldn't we bring knives to a gun fight, if they bring pistols, we should bring machine guns.
Scorched earth. Withold federal taxes.
Stay resolute🙌🏻💪🏼
They always say “we don’t have unlimited money”— But somehow there’s always cash for fascism, cruelty, and control. SNAP gets slashed. Health research gets gutted. But Mike Flood’s America? Fully funded.
These are times that invite, indeed, require revolution, not reform. We need a new way of governance, not more talking heads that only reflect blue or red sides of the Epstein predator class. We need a Constitution based upon true equality for all, not an illusion favoring rich white guys.
