WE'RE NUMBER ONE! WE'RE NUMBER ONE!
This is insane. Haven't people seen or read Cujo? That's the Stephen King novel that scared me the most, honestly
I hope whoever ends up being the nominee in 2028 can hire the people who are writing these. Also, does Trump not understand that mail-in ballots are 100% paper ballots? My whole state has been mail-in for years, it's great. Not like back home in the south waiting in line for hours and hours to vote
This is not how a government doing the right thing by their citizens behaves
Neoliberals hate whatever they deem “the left” is far more than actually self identifying fascists example 2 million
Final update: The ENTIRE living room is decluttered, organized, dusted and cleaned. All the bookshelves, the altar, the coffee table, the storage cart, the TV stand, the painting table, have been cleared, cleaned, and are ready for use. 🎶ImmmmmmPOSSible. things are happening eve-ryyyy dayyyyyy🎶
France preparing for war with Russia, has ordered doctors and hospitals to ready themselves for an influx of wounded and casualties, they have only until May 2026 to get ready, must be able to treat hundreds if not thousands per day. Also urges citizens prepare emergency survival kits.
Is there no makeup here? Looks like no makeup to me
"Blueskyism" helped the Mississippi Free Press overcome algorithmic suppression on other platforms (Facebook, Threads) and ride out plummeting engagement on Twitter following Musk's X takeover. Thank God we took our eggs out of the X basket when we did.
I don't know why civic leaders seem to expect that the World Cup games in the US will not see a similar drop as seen in tourism this summer

It's unconscionable that in a time of such grave peril for a vulnerable minority, one who has borne the brunt of all Trump's hatred and extremism in executive order after executive order (and I didn't even scratch the surface btw) that a single Democrat is making trans women in sports their focus.
Trans people are rapidly losing access to healthcare. It is unobtainable for trans youth in most of the country, and adult care is also under assault by congress and the Trump administration. The only Dems for whom this is a priority are in state office. No national Dem is talking about it.
"Blueskyism" helped make The Onion one of the largest newspapers in the world in less than a year. If we had spent all of our time on Twitter, we'd be poorer, dumber and terminally ill with internet poisoning. He's just angry he's wasting away over there in a nazi agnostic lane that doesn't exist.
Why would it be important that Dems avoid "leftism"? Are they not supposed to be the "left" party? I know everyone is responding to the Bluesky BS but....important to avoid leftism? WTF is he talking about, does he want to lose all future elections
Results so stunningly clear they inspired this classic xkcd (xkcd.com/2400/):
The irony/idiocy of this banner screaming "American Workers First" is that Trump has forced more than 199,000 federal workers out of their jobs since Jan. Nearly 1 in 10 federal workers gone. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
Somebody is throwing things out of a window of the White House wtaf
www.wsj.com/health/welln...
Anyway...Dems need to break out of the impulse to see 200 white people protesting against Covid restrictions as "the voice of the people which we must heed" while seeing 10X as many people protesting racist police violence as "a niche special interest group that's out of step with real Americans."
This ‘blue states closed schools too long’ narrative is becoming increasingly entrenched in the Polite Center but it’s arguable at best. Republican states had far more deaths during COVID and their students have roughly comparable learning loss.
What's RCP? Republican Clown Posse?
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...
Update: The Mysterious Cleaning continues for a third day, living room is nearly done
Maybe you could be "The Atlantic Pitchbot" instead?
Someone please kill me right now.
WE GET KNOCKED DOWN, BUT WE GET UP AGAIN, THEY'RE NEVER GONNA KEEP US DOWN
Hell yeah ✊🌹
He's right. There's never been a better day, or a better time. Tub-thump so hard it shakes the very pillars of Heaven.
*blasts Some Chumbawumba at the bbq* 'tis the season!
People literally bled & died fighting against corporate interests, robber barons, corrupt local & state politicians, cops & hired killers, & the federal government & US military for better working conditions for the rest of us so reflect on that today for just a bit while you're doing whatever else.
📌Happy Labor Day to the millions of people who are working on this national holiday, so the money-grubbing corporate overlords Republicans love so much can get even richer ...

I did that too! How were we to know, English is so weird
I appreciate an unfamiliar word in a book, it happens so infrequently
Can we stop to talk about how remarkable the timing was? Compliant at 1am, Judge engaged at 2am, ex parte call to the Government at 2:30am (they did not answer), TRO at 4am? On a Sunday of a holiday weekend?!
Judge Sooknanan: "These children are going to be deplaned. They're going to be returned to ORR custody. And no attempts will be made to remove them from ORR custody and remove them to Guatemala, in light of my order, while these preliminary emergency proceedings are pending."
Judge Sooknanan: As I said at the start of this hearing, I got a call at 2:36 am [last night] because the government chose the wee hours of the morning on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend to execute a plan to move these children. That's why we're here.
Judge Sooknanan: For unaccompanied minors in particular, there are special procedural protections under the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act...that's because this population is incredibly vulnerable. I don't see anything in what you're citing that would override those protections.
When she's done reading select quotes from the plaintiff's declarations, Judge Sooknanan sums it up as follows: "And so this doesn't quite line up with what I'm hearing from the government.
Sooknanan: Every one of these 10 children who are named plaintiffs speak about being afraid of going back to Guatemala. She reads a series of quotes in which the children express being afraid of return because they experienced neglect or abuse from one or both of their parents.
In one, the child says that her parents [in Guatemala] recently received a strange call from someone with the US government, telling them that he or she would be deported with a larger group of people. "Since my parents told me this news, I feel terrible," the declarant says.

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!
Does he know that a lot of workers have to work on these "non-working holidays"? I never had a labor day off until I got a desk job
This story is odd. Why include the whole "assisting a DV victim" thing, what does that have to do with it? And he was "traveling" not driving, so what about the driver, are they hurt too? What about the other car? Did it cause traffic delays? weird story
@jollygoodginger.bsky.social is in DC with other vets right now standing up for democracy. He's playing General Milleys speech on repeat for them today 💜 #LoveTheVets!
Not sure what's wrong with me, but I CLEANED (decluttered) yesterday. Really. And I been cleaning all day today too! It's so weird. No other symptoms, so I'm not sure what's going on. Maybe I should schedule a doc appt. What's next, healthy eating? If I get the urge to exercise I'm going to the ER
I wrote about the humility of expertise and the arrogance of ignorance, the profound laziness that attends believing that you can find knowledge by ignoring the accumulation of inherited human knowledge, and the ways lazy arrogance fuels narratives of fascism. www.the-reframe.com/your-ignoran...
Why do they continue to be invited to lie on television?
-you drop/spill things so frequently that your favorite coffee shop automatically prepares your for-here drink in a sippy cup -always a bruise on legs -(if you craft) always at least 1 cut on fingers -as you age, you require back surgery from a childhood of shrimp sitting while reading
Tomato juice, and lots of it
Parents will assure me their child only has access to YouTube Kids😐 then say the kid is only allowed to play Roblox😬 then I know we have to talk about internet safety
Writing or drawing with chalk on the street will get you arrested in DC
Please avoid doing any of these things, whether they're actually criminal or not, at the moment. Remember, we keep us safe!

But....you can have whatever kind of bread you want. The store has a thousand options, plus you could make it yourself. It's not hard. Variety is endlessly available when it comes to bread. I can't imagine how one would come to this "only sourdough" opinion
Because of the underlying racism, the new stuff stirred up by the lies, and the example set by government officials at all levels, things like this happened:
The thing the mainstream media is not remembering about Hurricane Katrina is their own lethal, racist contribution to treating rumors as facts used to demonize the stranded in New Orleans, turning them from victims to be aided to enemies to be contained.

I'm so old I remember having a small TV right next to the computer so we'd have something to do while the pages loaded.
I can't stop laughing at this. If you don't know the original text, consider yourself blessed
Every little kid I know be saying:
Oh fuck, Walgreens is one of 2 pharmacies in my little town, since CVS closed, and I don't think the other little mom & pop shop can handle everyone's prescriptions
Or hit them with a purse, like this hero
This is a TERRIBLE idea and I am glad my agency forbids the use of AI at work in any way. Palantir? TERRIBLE IDEA
I am a reader and I will try almost anything, but I tend to avoid those books. If there's a "questions for discussion" section at the end, or the book has a "(Celebrity) Book Club/Pick" sticker I will be skeptical. However I want people to read, please read what you like, even if it's cotton candy
I keep wondering if they're developing an AI Trump for teevee
The books I'd choose were NOT taught in school, and really the only non-school-text here is Tolkien
Yes, from Lincoln's perspective "preserving the union" would be correct. I wonder what the "right" answer was
“The state of Texas is only 40 percent white, but white voters control over 73 percent of the state’s congressional seats,” Derrick Johnson, President and CEO of the NAACP, said.
This will keep happening, because there's just not enough therapists for the amount of stress the population is facing.
It is supposedly required for teachers moving to OK from *NY or CA*, so will probably never need to be used, unless some poor teacher is forced there by their spouse's job or something like that
WHAT THE FUCK. This question is propaganda, in the south you're taught the correct answer is "states' rights" but that is 100% the "Lost Cause" narrative
What kind of question is this? For a test designed for teachers in a particular state, I haven't encountered any questions about Oklahoma or the context of its own schools and laws. Surely the governor of Oklahoma also sign bills into law? Exclusively federal emphasis so far.
The Oklahoma Teacher Qualification Test from PragerU is finally up on their website (but you have to at least provide them fake contact info first): "Educators who pass the test will receive an official PragerU Teacher Certificate..." www.prageru.com/teacher-qual...
When 16-year-old Adam Raine wanted to leave his noose visible so someone might stop him, ChatGPT said don't. When Stein-Erik Soelberg thought his mother was poisoning him, ChatGPT agreed. OpenAI calls these tragedies. They're choices. www.readtpa.com/p/chatgpt-wi...
You don't have to stop with your OWN congress members. I regularly call the reps of my elderly parents to express my concerns and say that they will NOT be living with me if y'all close the nursing homes, they will be YOUR problem and trust me that is a curse
tl;dr: They're going to get rid of the CDC as you know it. They're going to build something new and ghastly that they call the CDC, using its legal powers and data systems, and they are going to use it to hunt down every abortion in America. We are still in the window of time when we can stop that.
Just posting this again to be sure you see it
You have to fight this. You MUST fight this. This is the first fight in 8 months that you, as a person without a law degree, can personally win against the Trump Administration. We still need a bit more critical mass from Democrats. Keep calling. Demand (1) statements and (2) investigative hearings
You've seen how much damage RFK has done at HHS. RFK is a disorganized, age-addled maniac, and most of his job is PR stunts. I cannot begin to tell you how much damage a Thiel-verse technocrat like O'Neill will do in CDC. Starting with: he will persecute women you know and love for their abortions.
But by far and away, the biggest priority for a Heritage Foundation-captured CDC is going to be using the agency's legal frameworks for access to medical data, and weaponizing them to control women. *Most* of the Project 2025 plan for CDC is a witch hunt against abortion on an unprecedented scale.
