Putin's top propagandist and a former economics professor at the University of Alabama, Vladimir Solovyov, threatened that Russia would “march on Paris” after France’s President Macron called Putin "a predator and an ogre at our doorstep".
Hours after trying to assassinate the EU Commission president, Russia tried to assassinate Germany’s military's inspector general, Carsten Breue, the highest-ranking general in the Bundeswehr. His plane was also jammed once over the Baltic Sea and once over Lithuania.
Russia’s actions get played down to avoid “major escalation”; even if Russia were to kill a major world leader or general, everything would be done to avoid evoking real retaliatory measures.
Trump could shoot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue and get away with it, Netanyahu could kill 53,000, and Putin could kill millions. The table of impunity only gets longer. It’s important to fight tyrants at all levels. #3E
Thank you both so much.

Something that has been missing from the Trump administration’s review of the Epstein case: considering the survivors. This week, they speak out, and we should all be listening. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Here's the response from Paul Bryant, the Black veteran and lawyer whom the govt arrested in part bc he had a legal weapon in DC, to USG attempt to get him detained. It leans heavily into the lack of Body Cam proving he shoulder checked some Guardsmen. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Wow: 78 year old congressman Jerry Nadler decides not to seek reelection, saying Biden fiasco showed need for "generational change." “Watching the Biden thing really said something about the necessity for generational change in the party, and I think I want to respect that."
Look at that crowd!
Congratulations! Keep going.

Russia tried to assassinate the President of European Commission Ursula von der Leyen by jamming her plane while landing. So far Europe has ignored the issue as to not give Russia the attention it wants and to quietly prevent themselves from reacting to this significant escalation by the Kremlin.
George Orwell saw lies as a tool of political control, particularly through propaganda and doublethink, which allows for contradictory beliefs to coexist, and emphasized how controlling the past allows for the fabrication and acceptance of new truths www.cnn.com/2025/08/29/p...
He's an armchair psychologist and public health official all-in-one.
He pretends to have empathy well, is probably what he meant.

You’re ignorant if - you believe that the government is ‘chipping’ you with vaccines. You’re a ignorant if - you think that the mRNA in a vaccine is manipulating your DNA. You’re a ignorant if - you believe that vaccines cause autism. Vaccines are safe and effective! Vaccines cause old age.
I love your colorful outfit! Such a darling grandchild, too.
You guys see where this is going? Right?

This Weekend in Politics, Bulletin 196. A wild weekend with news coming from all different directions and speculation running rampant about Trump’s health. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...
🦋 RFK Jr. wants to rewrite science using vaccine critic David Geier in his Autism study Millions of scientific hours have been spent studying hundreds of thousands of children in hundreds of peer-reviewed papers To debunk a 12 child study by a gastroenterologist who was struck off in 2010 🦋 #MMR
As a doctor, I am disturbed by what RFK Jr. is doing to America’s public health system. It is time for medical associations, Republican doctors, and all who believe in science to step up and speak out about the lack of science behind these moves.

At least while alienating all of our allies, Trump has been instrumental in bringing others closer together.
Trump working hard to cover-up his child rape and sex trafficking with Epstein while literally trafficking children to Guatemala. Can someone in the media please point that out. That's the real deportation block headline.
A federal judge in D.C. now says DOJ has missed its deadline -- by an hour-and-a-half -- for confirming that it has removed unaccompanied children it planned to deport from the aircraft that were to carry them to Guatemala. The judge also ordered DOJ to explain why it missed the deadline.
one thing Rudy Giuliani is always going to do is defensively announce a weirdly incriminating detail with his whole chest as though he sincerely believes it exonerates him
Took a walk in my local botanical garden recently, most of these are me playing with and learning about macro but threw in a couple of others for kicks #macrophotography #flowers #birds #photography
Washington Post vs Democracy Docket. This one is easy. The Washington Post ignored Trump's latest attack on democracy entirely. It went with one about "grey rocking" instead. Support pro-democracy independent media. Subscribe to Democracy Docket today. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0
NEW: The trump administration attempted to remove 600 terrified unaccompanied minors to Guatemala in the middle of the night on a holiday weekend. Judge Sooknanan stopped it. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-sookna...
On Friday night, a man was actually arrested for leaving chalk footprints at the memorial. A judge later threw out the charges for lack of probable cause, the state is deploying police to prevent grieving communities from drawing rainbows in chalk.

Unfortunately, I think he is easily influenced for a number of reasons.
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!

As RFK Jr. upends America’s public health system, Trump cheers him on Trump pledged that he’d empower RFK Jr to “go wild" on health care. DJT has kept his promise to the alarm of public health leaders and even some Republicans Two fucking idiots bent on destroying USA apple.news/ABD4tXbj6Siq...
BREAKING: Bernie Sanders wants RFK Jr. under oath. He’s demanding a special Senate hearing on the CDC disaster RFK Jr. helped create. Go Bernie!
THIS IS NOT NORMAL FOR TRUMP. Something very strange is going on.

Su: The BLS collects statistical information — things like the nation’s inflation rate, the unemployment rate, the number of jobs created, which industries are growing, and which are contracting. And on every one of those fronts, Trump is failing.
Oh come onnnnnnn
Two new important books by Heather Marsh. 1 - "Stigmergy: How to Create a Mass Movement." 2 - "How to Dismantle a Dictatorship." Get them while you can. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heather...
In 2025 I’ve read 1. Binding Chaos 2. The Creation of Me, Them and Us 3. Abstracting Divinity 4. How To Create a Mass Movement 5. How To Dismantle a Dictatorship Each cracked open a new reality. It’s like my thoughts are humming at a different frequency now. Thanks Heather Marsh! #booksky
Call to Action: Mass protest at Washington D.C. on November 5th. Plan accordingly. #3E #RefuseFascism
He's unhinged.
Vets in DC protesting against this authoritarian regime. This gentleman came from Kentucky to let this #PedoKing who’s trying take over our democracy know we are resisting his takeover. #WeAreTheResistance #3E youtube.com/shorts/uMQ3n...
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
Naturally! A character indeed.
DEVELOPING: Advocates are seeking a court order to block the Trump administration’s effort to deport hundreds of unaccompanied minor children to Guatemala. Judge abruptly moved 3 pm hearing up to 12:30 after she was notified that some children “are in the process of being removed" today.
In it's currently childish, illegitimate, and illegal form, this EO takes my right to vote away as a poll worker, who is neither ill nor far away, but also not available nor allowed to vote in person on election day. Interesting.
🚨BREAKING: President Donald Trump said in a weekend social media post he plans to issue an executive order to impose voter ID requirements. And he reiterated his desire to ban mail voting. The president lacks the authority to take either step. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Trump did this
On one hand, reducing car use reduces urban pollution. But on the other, everyone likes it and cities become more livable
I wonder why Trump imposed secondary tariffs only on India for buying Russian oil while not caring about all the other countries who buy Russian oil?
Welch: As someone who lives in a red state, let me just tell you what MAGA supermajorities get you. We're 50th in education. The worst in the whole country for women to live. We're poorer, worst health care. And if you look at the bottom ten states, they are all MAGA supermajorities.
Jones: We have a presidential administration that has more outrage about the changing of the cracker barrel logo than they do about changing the policies that allow our children to be gunned down in school…
Jones: I want to bring theology into this because you have all these people that want to give thoughts and prayers. But I was a minister, and that is a form of theological malpractice—when you pray for something you have the power to change.
Jones: I would say to my colleagues who serve in government—keep your thoughts and prayers, keep your tweets. If you want to address gun violence, you don't need to tweet. What you need is a mirror. You have the power to change things.
Well now it's too late Bette, His Cankles can't carry the weight of ALL THOSE LIES Chump told.......

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
