You had your chance to remove and bar him from the presidency after Jan 6. And you chickened out.
The science doesn't lie: There is no "both sides" when it comes to climate change. It exists. But this hasn't stopped the Trump administration from trying everything in its power to say otherwise. From our friends at @grist.org:
A lawsuit filed by the NAACP Wednesday seeks to stop Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe’s (R) special legislative session, calling his attempt to redraw maps and rewrite the ballot initiative process an unconstitutional power grab that threatens democracy in the state. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
LA City Attorney: Businesses are empty and shuttered. The city’s law enforcement personnel have received countless 911 calls about what, for all intents and purposes, looks like a kidnapping. That’s what it looks like — individuals who will not identify themselves.

Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"
The Trump family’s historic, obscene corruption continues. The right wing freaked out over Hunter for allegedly making a fraction of this, meanwhile the Trumps are doing this all out in the open and they are silent. 🦗 🦗 www.wsj.com/finance/curr...
More than 445,000 federal employees saw their union protections disappear in August, as agencies moved to comply with an executive order President Trump signed earlier this year that called for ignoring collective bargaining contracts with nearly one million workers.
This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime. A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering. 1/4
But ya gotta wonder if they picked the day so it wouldn’t coincide with May 1.
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
"What I’m doing as an artist is exercising my freedom to cover everything and to pay attention to what I feel needs to be paid attention to." This artist painted Trump at Mar-a-Lago. Now she’s documenting his immigration crackdown.
As we begin a new month, my law firm is litigation 51 voting and election cases in 25 states. 6 in Arizona 6 in Georgia 4 in Florida 4 in North Carolina 8 involve redistricting
Anything except gun control.
Media outlets have staged a front page protest to highlight the killings of more than 200 journalists in 22 months.
Happy Labour Day.
I find myself pining for that bridge while watching SNW.

Oh
You mean to tell me he practices hocus pocus medicine? Huh.

This is 8-year-old Fletcher Merkel and 10-year-old Harper Moyski, killed in the horrific violence at the Annunciation Catholic Church. We must honor their memories and hold their families close as we come together to heal.

Mike Johnson makes clear that when Congress returns next week he's going to work tirelessly to cover up the Epstein files

Newsom: Perhaps the president could deploy the National Guard in every corner of Mississippi. Murder rate is out of control there. And the governor may want to make that phone call.
It's possible ... hear me out, here …. It may well be that these people lie their asses off whenever they exhale
This is very bad news. Louisiana won't even defend its own map in SCOTUS. It abandoned its own Black voters. Those of us committed to defending the VRA are now entirely on our own. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Those who have the power to stop mass shootings can go to hell with their "thoughts and prayers." Do something about it, you evil bastards.
Republicans have time to pettily paint over a memorial for people killed in a mass shooting because they can’t hate gay people enough, but they can’t be bothered to stop school shootings because they don’t love children enough. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...
FROM KONSYSE: Portugal has experienced an alarming surge in excess mortality, with more than 1300 deaths recorded during a prolonged heatwave lasting twenty consecutive days from July to August.
Gil McGowan - "Donald Trump has given racists and fascists all over the world permission to be more openly racist and fascist in their own countries. This guy was a key organizer for Harper, Kenney and Smith. Conservatives around the world are being radicalized." #abpoli #cdnpoli
He continued: "This is not a time to fall back into the reflexive crouch that I so often see, where the authoritarian creep by this administration is ignored in favor of some horse race piece on who will be helped politically by the president's actions." See also: presswatchers.org/2025/08/we-h...
But "our most influential newsrooms" cannot escape the politics of their decision. It isn't neutral, non-partisan. It is giving cover to the obvious. It is a cloak of deniability, of invisibility for an authoritarian state in the making. In a word, it is complicity.

Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her. Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.

Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."

Whether it’s freaking out about the new Cracker Barrel logo or some other bogeyman, remember this: The GOP’s nonsensical culture wars are meant to distract you from corporate corruption, worker oppression, and staggering wealth inequality.
Congress is set to receive the first batch of Epstein files. It's not likely to quell the unrest.

🔴The Failure of Mainstream Politicians and Media Organisations to Oppose This Violent Far-Right Movement Is a Disgrace The silence and complicity shown towards the anti-migrant movement on Britain's streets is pushing us towards a dark place, argues @adambienkov.bsky.social
Tremendous crossover move right here:
“Hello. I am a rich person in Portland who swears I am going to move because you are taxing me for preschool. Also, we must do everything we can to keep the Blazers in town, including taxing the poors, because, unlike preschool, the NBA is a public service necessity”
It never fails. The people who say there’s a “bike lobby” pulling the strings in city government almost always have a direct line to City Hall the bike advocates only wish they had! It’s all a giant act of projection.
It would have been quite dramatic if it was a partial moon.
Israel has just denied Dr. Mimi Syed entry into Gaza for a medical mission, despite her two prior volunteer trips. She says barring foreign medical workers, in addition to foreign journalists, is intended to hide the truth about desperate conditions inside the Palestinian territory.
