THIS. HITS. HARD.
Not a great leap to go from killing civilians overseas to doing the same thing domestically.
“Thanks for your concern, but I’m actually queueing for an ice cream” From the latest Private Eye, out now.
#Pinks #ProudBlue More detailed breakdown on RFK Jr.s claim that “everyone can still get the Covid vaccine.” This fact checking article concludes that the barriers his meddling has caused makes this statement mostly false. The man is a liar. www.pbs.org/newshour/hea...
@neatoday.bsky.social @aft.org
My mom — who is in her 70s and immunocompromised — could not get her vaccines today. RFK Jr. is lying when he says he's not making harder to get vaccines.
It's just a sports ban. It's just a bathroom ban. It's just a healthcare for kids ban. It's just a military service ban. It's just a federal jobs ban. It's just a university housing ban. It's just a passport & visa ban. It's just one Constitutional right. It's just your status as free citizens.
Now, New York Times, say clearly and directly to your readers that Donald Trump is building a dictatorship. You know it, so say it. Share that information with your readers.
Follow the money on this scam. Miles and miles of prime oceanfront real estate between SD and LA. I’m surprised it took him this long to cook up something on it.
I believe the victims
Pritzker: It appears they are amassing ICE officers… It’s been reported that about 300 officers are planning to come in and do what they did in LA — terrorize neighborhoods and cause mayhem. Their plan is to create enough chaos on the ground that troops will have to be called in
resistance through art
JFK Jr. Is an addict and a lawyer, not any kind of doctor. He has no business running our nations health and human services! He should resign now, before he does more harm.
Potatoes are comfort food!
Sometimes that's a legit survival/thrival tactic. Do what you gotta do to survive.
Please take care of yourself, as best you can. It can get better and likely will if you stay in the game.
Joseph Schnitt, an acting deputy chief under Pam Bondi was filmed bragging to a date about the DOJ’s plans to alter the Epstein files. He was caught in a honeytrap scheme bragging about department plans to “redact every Republican” from Jeffrey Epstein’s client list. Now, about that Deep State…
“.. ‘They'll redact every Republican or conservative person in those files, leave all the liberal, Democratic people,’ he told the reporter ..” @axios.com www.axios.com/2025/09/04/e...

We really need more of Senator Warnock's energy in the fight against Trump, RFK Jr, and this entirely inept, corrupt, criminal administration.

The Justice Department's acting deputy chief was caught on a hidden camera saying that the government will "redact every Republican" from an Epstein client list and "leave all the liberal, Democratic people."
The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.
Interesting. So either the US government committed a flagrant crime against humanity, or decided that they want the world to think they did for some kind of fascist dick-measuring reason. Will be keeping an eye on this.
Don't feel like doing a repost that puts the murder video on the timeline yet again but do feel like repeating the point that the president just straight-up assassinated 11 people for supposedly doing something that wouldn't be a death-penalty crime if they were caught and convicted
And we've all learned to insert the word "legally" after "can't" in such sentences involving Trump. He can't legally change tariffs on his own personal whim, but he does it. He can't legally fire a Fed Governor without "cause," but he does it. He can't legally do 9/10s what he does, but he does it.
My mom had polio. I grew up not worrying about polio. I will always be thankful for vaccines.
For comic relief, I recommend watching The Tall Blond Man with one Black Shoe; not the dubbed version, with subtitles. Spy/spy-scandal plot, screamingly funny! www.imdb.com/title/tt0068...
It’s not just that the President of the United States posted a video of eleven people being murdered in international waters it’s that the President of the United States ordered the murder of eleven people in international waters so he could post a video of it.
PSA: Public records should be public. You should not have to prove your identity to view patent file wrappers or to access the pretty color design patents.
Strong point from the Bad Place, here.
This photo was taken of miners at the end of their shift during the Gilded Age before they were unionized. This Labor Day remember the blood, sweat, and tears that those before us paid to give the working class the basic rights we enjoy today. #UnionStrong #HappyLaborDay #NoGodsNoMasters
🏆 He wanted a prize, this one is well deserved!
Illinois is currently exploring the possibility of purchasing Covid-19 vaccines in bulk straight from manufacturers to make sure everyone will still have access.
The entire fascist plot relies on us being terrified and sad. This is why they’re constantly trying to scare everyone with theatrics. They want you to see him as unstoppable and not as a 79-year-old with severe health problems who will die soon.
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!
Like Kim Il Sung before him, he is the reason the sun rises in the morning
New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them. States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.
Unless DeSantis plans on having them watch the crosswalks 24/7, Orlando is gonna win this battle.
They’re doing all this to prevent people from MEMORIALIZING A MASS SHOOTING

A lot of politically connected vendors literally made hundreds of millions of dollars off taxpayers through no bid contracts in just two months of Alligator Alcatraz operating. Waste, fraud, and abuse.
Good.
Are computer-generated text sequences legally speech?? US *persons* have free-speech rights in the US; it's not clear that racks of GPU chips have any such rights. If the speech is legally from an AI company, I suspect that Co. is/will be facing liability issues.
Happy SkyNet day to all who celebrate! I’m sure the super AI isn’t coming to kill us! 😭
Perfect explanation of why LLM's are a failure in every important way is UTTERLY PERFECT!
You’re saying that telling your constituents they don’t need healthcare because they’re gonna die anyway isn’t winning politics?
If I were charged with a federal crime, I’d hire Pam Bondi’s brother as my lawyer. Because I don’t think this is a coincidence.
I miss the old brand #CDC
One of the firefighters arrested is an Oregonian. My office has been in touch with his lawyer who says he can't locate his client. My office is working to get more information on his whereabouts ASAP.
I'm glad you're skeptical! The molecular species that make up air do *not* meaningfully stratify at room temperature, even if dead still inside a sealed container. Whichever AI made this mistake shows how AIs can make a little knowledge dangerous.
All these cite one source - US Commerce Department “revision” They explain it as a result of “huge investment and production output” plus strong “purchasing power by US consumers” All this doesn’t really make sense given the reality we live in - tariffs (aka tax on consumers), unemployment..
OK, Greek fisherman's caps are right out!
Best I could think of; hope you'll get other/better ideas. But if you have to use it, I specifically suggest avoiding travel by small ocean-going boat; ditto visiting Mosul. 😉
70 years ago, on this date, Emmett Till was kidnapped and brutally murdered by white men. His family, including his cousin who was with him at the time, is repeating the train ride he took from Chicago to Mississippi in 1955 to mark the anniversary
DEPORT MELANIA TRUMP, HER FATHER AND BARRON NOW! AND WHILE YOU'RE AT IT, TAKE THE ORANGE POS! REPOST IF YOU AGREE!
Jonah is the closest ~familiar name I can think of that keeps the vowel sounds in order.
BREAKING: Big moment as CDC staff stage a mass walkout. They have lined the street outside its HQ to greet and salute the four top officials who have resigned in protest at RFK Jr’s attack on the agency’s science base. (🎥 AP)
J. D. Vance: small dick energy, scared of his own shadow.
Turns out Derrick Van Orden isn't the only one dodging his constituents.
There is no route out of fascism that involves sacrificing the vulnerable. All that does is tell the fascists that we're willing to turn on each other for the illusion of safety.
OK - so just put out of your mind for a moment what you actually know about anatomy and look at this picture with the eyes of someone ignorant of human biology. It looks just like an anatomy drawing from a textbook. This is what AI does - it makes things that SEEM plausible. 1/ #TLSky #EduSky
One extraordinary thing about Pritzker's speech: saying this won't last forever and justice will eventually find the perpetrators. Shouldn't have stood out so much. But did, because way too many US elites in politics, media, business, etc. are acting like it's popular and permanent. It's neither.
i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.
I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.
NEW QUINNIPIAC POLL: Trump approval rating: 37% Trump's handling of: Crime: - 12 Russia/Ukraine: -12 Foreign Policy: -16 Economy: -18 Trade: -18 Israel/Hamas/Gaza: -19 Sending weapons to Israel: -28 National Guard to DC: -15 Epstein files: -48 Smithsonian: -27 poll.qu.edu/poll-release...
Dearest Martha, The National Guard stand solemn watch at the Krispy Kreme tonight. I cannot tell if they defend the people from the donuts, or the donuts from the people. Powdered sugar hangs in the air like cannon smoke. Jensen took a hot coffee to the face, he may never recover. Yours in glaze,
Calling all "Elderly White Hippies!" Unite, fight fascism!
Making them wear high-visibility vests over camo is such a good joke you couldn’t write it
I’d listen to damn near anyone about DC before Trump. He’s a clown and looking to just distract us from the Epstein files and grab more power. Leave Americans alone, Dictator Douchenozzle.
As a parent, as a human, this family deserves a settlement against ChatGPT that should put them out of business.
It's much like the human tendency to see clouds as animals or see faces in inanimate objects -- only a far more dangerous illusion.
The government is not, in fact, required to uphold the law. Google "prosecutorial discretion."
Three separate grand juries refused to indict woman for “assaulting” ICE. Ham sandwich 3, DOJ 0.
Oh, Stephen, honey. When your people are armed and armoured and constantly making threats, and the opposition party is unarmed, unmasked, and peacefully calling for reform, most folks can figure out who the domestic extremists are.....
Yes ... MAHA-ha ... YES! @theonion.com theonion.com/wax-on-vax-o...
Everything the rich have ever wanted is being delivered, a further weakened labor movement, a gutted regulatory regime, a public sector being strangled in a puddle. The rest was hokum invented by academic scribblers searching for a logical rationale for the rich to be more dominant.
🤞 that your joints heal and behave as quickly as may be.
The first CPU I had free use of was a PDP-8 at my local community college, in 1975. Nobody else had much use for it, but they kept it powered on + it had *a full manual set including schematics* down to the transistor/diode level. It had a clonky teletype terminal, basic, assembler and not much else
10 years ago, Trump was asked if he had any sins he needed to ask forgiveness for. He said, “no Two days ago, he now says he’d like to get into heaven and he’s at the bottom of the totem pole Something has changed Trump‘s perspective. Is it his failing health?
Veterans for Child Rescue: “Release the Files”
Imagine failing to climb a tree so badly that you draw a crowd of apes that have come out in sympathy.
Right now, the loudest sound I hear is the crickets chirping. I wonder how many folks these days experience such quiet other than out camping.
It's Minnesota State Fair time! It's time for Minnesotan folk art! Here, for example, is Saturn Devouring His Corn, in the seed art category!
If Joe Biden’s hand had looked like it was covered in grey scale Fox would be running that shit on a loop 24/7.
EXCLUSIVE: The Trump administration will move to pull the COVID vaccine off the U.S. market “within months,” one of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s closest associates has told the Daily Beast.
