The USA has screwed up so badly by decimating the US relationship with India because of Trump’s childish, destructive ego, that the state department is now in the process of grovelling. In the end the US will probably cave, as it has with China.
I think it was her lack of experience. She was the Vice-president? Yeah but before that. She was a Senator? She must have been soft on crime. She was the district attorney of CA? She's probably antisemitic. Her husband's Jewish? Must have been the price of eggs.
Hey! Just icymi: FEMA is now evicting THOUSANDS of Hurricane Helene survivors Our government hates us. And millions voted for this degree of brutality and cruelty. Why?
U.S citizen temporarily detained by ICE says he regrets voting for Trump "We were brainwashed!"
If he DOES come back for a press briefing, first question should be EPSTEIN, EPSTEIN, EPSTEIN. And as a follow up, EPSTEIN.

🧊🚨✈️ CHILD TRAFFICKING⁉️ As a court hearing about a plan to imminently deport 600 unaccompanied minors to Guatemala gets underway, we can see at least three ICE Air planes headed south *right now* from El Paso, Dallas, and Alexandria LA 👀 Track them here: globe.adsbexchange.com?icao=a83f98,...

🚨 A billion-dollar no-bid contract. A secretive desert detention camp. A contractor with no website and no experience. This isn’t a thriller—it’s Trump’s America. Take a look before this gets memory-holed:
EXPERTS WARNED SINCE 2015 that Trump's Wall is a Neanderthal fool's errand and massive waste of US dollars: 1) It's easy to climb over, even without a rope/ladder 2)Easily cut through with any reciprocating saw 3)Easily tunneled under/built on sand 4) Washes away in floods 5) End's animal migration.
Troops in the streets and he thinks he’s going to get a Nobel, peace begins at home
Between Trump being 1/2 dead all weekend, Giuliani’s car crash, Clinton traveling with a defibrillator, this, I’m reminded that we’re NOT actually collectively psychologically (& logistically) prepared for the RATE at which the earliest round of boomers are going to start dropping.
Fifty-one of the 85 Federalist papers were written by a guy born in Nevis.
Republicans: “Stop making everything about race.” Really? White people enslaved Black people for generations, stole Native land, lynched and segregated us, burned down Black communities that thrived, and treated Mexican land & labor like property to be taken. America already made it about race.
The United States killed American Indians and drove them from their homes in order to steal their land. Could it work in Gaza?
Dear Democratic Leaders, If you won’t stand up for trans people and their rights, you’re tellling me you won’t stand up for *anyone* or *any rights* the second they come under attack. You’re telling me you don’t stand for anything at all. Also, they’re *people*. Grow a spine or get out the way.
Illinois is currently exploring the possibility of purchasing Covid-19 vaccines in bulk straight from manufacturers to make sure everyone will still have access.
Make no mistake, everything that’s happening in the United States is being significantly enabled by the right wing oligarch capture of media. Every other country needs to do everything possible to keep that from happening where they are. Including protecting the CBC from Poilievre here in Canada.
The thing is, the arrangement they consider 'traditional' -1950s/60s single earner suburban family- was made possible by FDR's The New Deal. But they keep voting for Republicans who've gutted every new Deal program. THEY are the ones who stole the bang-maids from THEMSELVES.
The far right succeeded in this country in large part because adult men were angry about this supposed theft, and the Nazis learned to channel that rage. "[Marginalized group] stole your sex mommy!" is quite literally their rallying cry a lot of the time.
Speaking as someone who used to spend time in their chats, SO much of US contemporary fascism is a function of men assuming that the way adulthood worked was, you got a job and in exchange you got a woman to be your mom plus your sex toy. They are ENRAGED that they have a job but no sex mommy.
Agree w this thread 100% And well-intentioned calls for progressives to empathize or offer advice and support to these guys miss this key point. They aren't looking for advice on finding a connection, getting women to like them. They're looking for someone to hand them sex mommy...
Hey @mollyjongfast.bsky.social thank you for pushing back on misogynistic bullshit other guests on MSNBC The Weekend were spewing about the victims of Jeffrey Epstein being somehow UNFIT to testify in court because they were PAID for SEX. They were all WRONG, and you were the only one to call it out
As I make the jump to hyperspace, I realize I left the baby on top of the ship.
Remember the Goolsbee Rule, also called the “pathological irony of crisis”: If you lose credibility, your statements begin to mean the opposite of what you say.
at their core, trans rights, abortion rights, and vaccine rights are actually all the same issue: they’re all about bodily autonomy, and the willingness to concede any of them puts the others at risk.
As a friend recently put it: the venn diagram of people who assured us the gun violence was worth it because we need the guns to protect ourselves against a tyrannical federal government and the people cheering on Trump as he deploys the military to take over American cities is a circle
What’s wild to me: NOW, media outlets & medical organizations are “stunned” by the damage RFK Jr. is doing to CDC, other health agencies, & public health. Me & my colleagues have been screaming about him for years. Years. Even more so in the last year. We were called hyperbolic. 1/
Okay. I just came back to this and you aren’t calling these efforts resegregation yet, you absolutely should be
Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:
5 years.... What's that old klingon proverb about how best to serve revenge?
Julia Stewart on the ex Applebee's CEO: delicious.
"The straw man being put forward is that it's either we have the military or we're going to get our throats cut at night in DC. Is there no middle ground? Do local law enforcement account for nothing? We've got the National Guard GARDENING right now in DC. Is that an efficient use of our resources?"
I think about this speech ftom Stalag 17 a lot lately Geneva man (paraphrase): After the hostilities are ended there will be such a thing as a War Crimes Commission. If crimes are being committed now, you will be held responsible Von Scherbach Keep that in mind, MAGA & GOP.
Pure fucking evil. Everyone involved in this shit needs to be held accountable.
Official Statement For Immediate Release On the evening of August 30, 2025, in New Hampshire, Mayor Giuliani was flagged down by a woman with beautiful blonde hair and sumptuous red lipstick who had mistakenly missed a left turn at Albuquerque. Upon learning the woman was in fact a cartoon rabbit,
The only time DLSD gets close to moving this many people is when the lake shore express bus is running
If you're fighting for the next unstable 20something mass shooter to have easy access to AR-15s, bc "personal freedom" means more to you than the bodies of dead American children, then maybe the problem is *your* mental illness.
If you're questioning the entire idea of getting married - don't get married. The questioning is a solid reason. Maybe OP can get her old job back?
Yes. The “guys, tone it down with the trans stuff, it’s not polling well” is just beyond stupid. They should be staunchly supportive and ALSO focus more on things like deploying the military against citizens and cost of living. Most Dems know someone trans and want them alive and well and free.
The thing that keeps me coming back to the Newsom stuff is that Democrats who object to our saying we'd never vote for him are refusing to treat us as ordinary voters who need to be won over, like any other demographic.
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.
The only thing I have to say about this Rudy Giuliani story is that he was disabarred for aggressively and constantly lying about Trump winning the 2020 election
This should be a bigger story. A government official had the YouTube channel of a private citizen shut down bc he didn’t like what that citizen was saying. This administration’s version of free speech is a joke.
The DeSantis regime will do more to protect sidewalks from chalk than children from bullets.
DC area folks — this non-partisan rally in solidarity with survivors exploited by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell is happening Wed morning if you want to support.
What a — excusez mon français, s’il te plait — a government shitshow of unfathomable proportions
Correction: they made TANK TOPS for Kate & Leopold?!
They made t-shirts for Kate & Leopold?!
I hope his employers force jake tapper to cover Joe & Jill Biden attending trump's funeral.
Every single thing, EVERY SINGLE THING, that RFK has done was predictable and predicted. He is doing what every other fascist eugenicist has done before him. The disability community has been warning about this for YEARS. It is not in any way shape or form mysterious and unknowable.
I wasn’t super convinced that something was seriously wrong with Trump until he tweeted this
Remember when Hillary coughed and the media were practically writing her obituary?
A colloquial Swedish word for giving a confident answer to something you know nothing about is killgissa, or “guy-guessing.” Conversely, the lesser-known word tjejveta (meaning “girl-knowing”) can describe elucidating (shelucidating?) on a topic you have expertise in.
Attn all femme neuro-atypicals: You are no longer "info-dumping," you are "shelucidating."
This whole thread is just appalling. The hearing arises from the Trump admin conspiring with a foreign country to violate a federal court order in the middle of the night so it can deny due process to children who escaped dangerous circumstances.
Please, I want to smash the top of my alarm clock again so bad 😭
it was also pre-social media. we talked to each other on moderated email discussion lists (or usenet, which i loved). twas a golden era.
Perfection.
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...
Sanction the fucking lawyers. Make it so no one will represent this evil administration in court.
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.
This is a painful but obvious point. Trump never beat a man in a general election. You can be sure that this bothers him personally. Moreover though, this speaks to a flaw in the American people, but that flaw is a reality. Elections aren’t contests about who is right, it’s about what sells🤷♂️
Joe Biden looks like a robust man as compared to lard ass mccankles with his mouth wide open. Where’s the media on covering this festering pile of goo?
I hope Biden is the first to pee on trump's grave
Biden, with his progressive legislation, anchored by Sherrod Brown, fought for unions. It was Koch-plants in the party like Joe Manchin & Kristine Sinema that prevented even more sweeping changes. Let's take back our democracy! Support Sherrod Brown.
After Biden extended secret service protection to trump's adult children.
Is this a parody account?
Need I say Donald is Trump’s worst enemy. Anger, hate , vengeance can do a number on you. But poor Donald cannot not let one little slight go, can he? This will end up being his own demise. Karma never forgets. Just look a Rudy. 😒🥸
I guess he changed hats and won’t go anywhere near the press for 5 days for no particular reason. Also can’t get any video of him actually playing golf from the usual sources.
Joe Biden is out buying ice cream while everyone is asking whether Trump is dead.
Federal agents in DC have been starting dangerous car cases for small stuff like tinted windows. The chases violate DC police policy. Out of 10 cases, six ended in a crash. One car had a minor in back. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
NEW: A week or so ago, one federal agent kept popping up in videos from Trump's violent DC crackdown—so @jsweetli.bsky.social and I investigated. Turns out he's a 26-year-old US Parks Police officer, a lesser known law enforcement unit currently championed by Interior Sec. Doug Burnum. Our report:
I would read a whole series of reports like this on each individual federal goon. They all deserve a profile.
We're fans of @propublica.org, but they often fail *hard* with autism coverage—including topics like ABA therapy. In our latest newsletter, @ejwillingham.bsky.social questions a recent relentless medicalizing of autism. I dunno, maybe talk to autistic researchers too? buttondown.com/TPGA/archive...
Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
Condition: like new? As we used to say when I was a girl - As if, plus i doubt it.
Locking down your phone, being mindful of what you're wearing, and coming up with plans to communicate with others are all key steps to take before attending a protest. ssd.eff.org/module/atte...
It was over when the decided people could cut the line - for money.
As a little kid growing up in Florida (where we lived for 4 years), a trip to Disney World was affordable even for my truck driver dad and secretary mom and 3 kids while we lived in a mobile home. This is so depressing and enraging. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/o...
Wouldn’t it be great if America had a revelation about child sexual abuse among our elite, in the way that Ireland had such a revelation about the abuse of children by the Catholic Church? In Ireland, the revelation sparked a revolution.
So selling arms to Isreal is the same thing as removing the population to a us territory, giving them essentially beanie babies, and rent coupons, and building trump cassino Gaza?
With a picture taken today by Getty Images; once again: do I know WTF is going on with Trump? I do not. Do YOU know WTF is going on with Trump? You do not All I know is he has never voluntarily STFU for five days since he was born
Absurd and outrageous map would lead to a 7-1 GOP margin in a state that is often split about 60-40 GOP by creating an absurd district 5 that spans about two thirds of the way across the state, 200 miles from West to East Oppose this.
So, she's a protégé of Chuck Todd?
