I wonder if they feel the same about an Islamic state or a Christian state, or if they realize they are parroting Right Wing talking points, but have only slightly altered the flavor of their preferred Abrahamic scripture. They sound like Nationalist Pastor Webbon here. bsky.app/profile/righ...

Donald Tramp has golfed 55 days out of 226 days since returning to office (24.3% of the presidency spent golfing). The cost to us, $77 million! He has the nerve to post this yesterday!
Chicago is not the "murder capital of the world". In fact, Chicago has had a significant decline in homicides in recent years. Chicago doesnโt even appear in the top 50 cities (by homicide rate) globally and its homicide rate is far lower than many cities globally (even within the U.S.).

Susan Collins should actually be *concerned*. I'm not sure if Maine wants this, but I've been waiting to hear someone tell everyone who Collins is for more than a decade.

Remember that we can always find power, solidarity, and hope in the labor movement. [Artwork by Ricardo Levins Morales]
We share this graph as often as we can. #UnionStrong
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.
Revoking an entire nationalityโs visas is collective punishment and never acceptable โ especially in this moment when millions of Palestinians lack equal rights, basic healthcare, and so much more at home, forcing them out of the US is unfathomably cruel. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/w...
Wealth detaches a person from normal morality. Probably why almost all religions and scriptural writings have things to say about greed. Camel through the eye of a needle and all that. If a person has more wealth than they can use I'd think they have some pretty vile skeletons in their closet
A reminder on this Labor Day: Slavery still exists in the form of incarcerated labor. Itโs long overdue to end forced labor in prisons.

MO Gov Mike Kehoe is calling a special session to gerrymander the 5th District which encompasses Kansas City. He is specifically violating Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which bans any voting practice that denies or weakens the power of a racial minority to elect its preferred candidates.

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.

Trump is evil but he is largely irrelevant, heโs not really in charge and is part of a larger criminal network. If Trump were to die, the MAGA network would just prop up another figurehead. Trump is a representative of oligarchy not the head of it.
GORKA: Instead of blaming an inanimate object, which is the weapon, how about addressing the human being instead? KEILAR: DHS cut funding in July to the Minnesota Dept of Safety and the Hennepin Country Sheriff's Office in July that is the kind of funding used to assess mass violence threats
โFascism-liteโ isnโt a strategy to defeat fascism but itโs very effective in normalising it.
RADDATZ: You talk about what can be done. After shootings in Buffalo & Uvalde, Congress passed a bipartisan Safer Communities Act. It provided hundreds of millions for schools to expand mental health services. You didn't vote for it. Why? TOM EMMER: I don't remember the reasons I didn't vote for it
Heโs providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
WELKER: Do you have 100% confidence in Secretary Kennedy? LANKFORD: I believe he's who the president picked. He's challenging some of the assumption - what is it about autism? He seems to be following the science WELKER: The science has debunked links between autism & vaccines for more than 20 yrs

Of course Soviet and neo Soviets exist, Nazis still exist and so do confederates. States or political movements may disappear but their loyal subjects do not. There are still Soviets out there trying to destroy our democracies and hard fought rights, they didnโt just stop after the USSR fell.
