I am AMAZED there are not more people at the very least pointing out that this lightning-fast deterioration in Trump's health, happened only a few days after he had a lovely cup of Polonium tea and a slice of Novichok marble cake, with his best friend from Moscow.
Hahaha his hair completely falling out would be a fate worse than death for him 🤣🤣
✍️ Atlantic circulation collapse could come sooner than expected Brian McHugh interviews Professor Sybren Drijfhout, lead author of the new report, who explains why cutting carbon dioxide emissions to net zero is becoming even more urgent to prevent AMOC collapse and climate disaster.
They'll have to deploy the national guard to keep people from pissing on his grave.
I’m a believer that we need it all – on the streets direct action, lawsuits, lobbying of politicians, education, art – we need to bring every tool we have to the fight for a livable planet. makinghope.lilregie....
This is just the coolest thing
Bill Kristol channels Trump musing on firing RFK Jr.: "What was it that Roy Cohn used to say? He had some quote he liked from Shakespeare (can you believe it? Roy was something). It was basically that if you’re gonna do something, do it quickly?"
Palantir just took over the CDC. The head of the UK branch of Palantir UK is Louis Mosley, grandson of renowned British fascist Oswald Mosley. Palantir has 24 contracts with key UK public institutions; the NHS, Ministry of Defence, the police force, the Cabinet Office, and the DLUHC.
Our journalists are the jewels of our constitution! The legacy of apartheid has resulted in their deep loyalty to it and I am so flipping grateful; considering what’s happening elsewhere!
At least if he dies we’ll know for sure that the one true religion is apparently witchcraft and manifestation.
Live your life so that people don’t consider rumors of your death a form of edging.
It's like staying up late to see if Santa is real but we're hoping Santa's dead
he'll always be dead in our hearts
not now kitten, daddy’s preparing for the greatest day on the internet
I hope that when RFK Jr dies someday, someone has been hired and trained to capture whatever crawls out of the body, so that it doesn't find a new host
It's going to be the weirdest thing watching every news network trying to sell "a nation in mourning" while Kool & the Gang's "Celebration" becomes the new national anthem.
Thx @ryanmarino.bsky.social
Elon Musk has his engineers build an exoskeleton for a frail Trump so he won't be seen using a wheelchair. The hydraulics are 10x more powerful than they need to be and Musk does the coding himself to ensure it's perfect. It crushes Trump into a meat & bone pretzel 10 seconds after he's strapped in.
regardless of what happens to the tariffs, they're doomed from the start because the average conservative holds all three of these positions at once: — virtue signals about supporting US manufacturing — against increasing the minimum wage — buys foreign imports because they're cheap
BREAKING: supreme court rules 6-3 that it's okay to have a dead president
Unfucking the American pie
just saw RFK jr running into the white house with a whole bunch of horse dewormer
It’s like saying just because you flush your toilet doesn’t mean you need sewerage
People saying Trump is dying or possibly dead, but I for one would urge caution, because it is quite possible a second healtbar will appear as he enters his second phase and a gargantuan centipede will burst forth from his torso, so be careful of his new sweep attacks and toxic buildup from bites.
The rumors of trumps well-being are grossly exaggerated
Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”
I’m away for the weekend but scheming about champagne 🙏
When qualifications are irrelevant and the only value is loyalty to a dictator, corruption flourishes. That's lucrative for a few, but it undermines the system for everyone else. Where there is no justice, just obvious corruption, a functional society is impossible. The trains don't run on time. 6/
Dying, the last distraction.
Trump just bumbling around making innocent mistake after innocent mistake
if he’s not dead i hope he’s been locked in the bathroom blasting the craziest diarrhea on earth for the last 3 days straight

Military analysts who for years were downplaying the importance of Ukraine getting ranged weapons, saying they would be no game changers, would not make a major difference, etc--now are desperately trying to row back. Its a sign of just how dreadful the analytical community is.

In case you were confused.
the thing that's so fucking infuriating about this is how much more that matters for the bottom 10% $1200 can be life or death at that level of income top 10%? $13K is nice, to be sure, but it's "maybe we'll take another vacation" nice not "oh good now we can afford to eat this month"

The extraordinary abnormal warmth in SIBERIA expands East: The cold pole Verkhoyansk is still recording maxes >25C and Batamaj has recorded 7 consecutive maxes >25C and 2 more are on the way (never recorded >25C later than now). Even at 70N maxes still >23C. Unprecedented.
Oh thank god I can finally stop worrying
I hope this is the catalyst required for the rest of the civil service to finally start exhibiting their power
Rugby is a game of new ideas. Yet right now, one team stands head and shoulders above all others in those stakes, and is being ignored. One team playing the game as it will be in fifteen years' time. We dig into who it is, and why they're so ahead of the game... youtu.be/Foq1rCWiYuA
And one less imbecile stealing oxygen. Man, the champagne I’m going to buy to celebrate the death of the orange turd is going to be tippy top shelf
"If it is the case that something like 44 percent—or even 40 percent; or 36 percent—of the country approves of where we are now, then is there any realistic prospect of returning to liberalism?"
"U.S. economy expanded 3.3% in Q2, with growth even stronger than initially thought" This is state propaganda. We all know these #s from Trump regime are BS! Yet corporate media outlets report this BS like it's real. www.cnbc.com/2025/08/28/u...
#NIH is hanging by a thread. The #CDC has been decimated. #RFK Jr. and Russell #Vought are psychopaths--I don't say this frivolously--they are cold, calculating, inflicting violence on millions through public policy. It is where we are right now. These men are not normal. 1/

That about sums it up?
AI slop websites are churning out climate science denial, using made up research from fake experts. MSN, the world’s 4th-largest news aggregator, published some of these articles to millions before they were pulled. Learn more via @desmog.com buff.ly/SXgQ4Ig
This is such a no-brainer that the lack of a coordinated response feels deeply damning. A Democratic leadership team that can't mobilize an instant all-hands-on-deck effort on RFK Jr. isn't a leadership team at all.
Hello All--Its UK and European Publication day for War and Power: Who Wins Wars And Why (My latest book). I put together this short post about it--which has links to a free excerpt and a podcast about the book with Paul Krugman. Will do a substack live Monday. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...
1/Our client was notified tonight by White House staff in the personnel office that she was fired. As a presidential appointee, senate confirmed officer, only the president himself can fire her.

She was brought to the US as an 8yo, worked hard, studied, earned a scholarship, planned to become a nurse. ICE kidnapped her. Held her for 6 MONTHS in a detention facility with conditions so miserable that she finally agreed to voluntarily move to Honduras, which her family left at gunpoint.

Hosts & overwhelming favourites England started the 2025 World Cup in style on Friday night. However, tucked in amongst the performance was a major hint at how other teams could beat the unbeatable: Did Friday night tell us how to defeat the Red Roses? youtu.be/kRBGAhq_af0
Business as usual! I say as the bow slips under the surface
“Russian victory is inevitable, so save yourself some pain and surrender now” has been the Russian propaganda line—and a repeated Trump, Vance, Musk, etc. talking point—for 3.5 years now, yes. Weirdly, Russia’s unbeatable battlefield prowess hasn’t shown up on the battlefield.
So much winning. THANKS, TRUMP! 🚨 Bankruptcies surged past 2020 pandemic levels. They reached their highest level for any seven-month period since 2010. S&P Global Market Intelligence found that 71 large companies filed for bankruptcy last month.
The media really is going to put reform in charge aren’t they
Striking was the only option. It’s still not too late?
I spotted this dog in Delhi, India at the weekend out of the corner of my eye. He was being beaten. Luckily we got him to safety. His recovery has started
Sure but it’s the principal. If the civil service got together this could have been done with minimal planning and maximum result. I get that with the US it has to be everyone - 100% - or else the strikers will be fired, but now the situation is unsalvageable and the moment has passed
I understand the reasoning here, but in any other country the entire civil service would have completely shut down the second doge fired its first victims. It would be nationwide and all-encompassing but there was no resistance at all
Hey so just fyi, if you're abandoning trans rights you're abandoning all civil rights At that point what the fuck is the point of the democracy you're willing to sacrifice trans people for This actually isn't hard at all, quit making it pretend hard because you finally feel scared too
Gov. Pritzker: “Earlier today in the Oval Office, Donald Trump…asked for me personally to say, ‘Mr. President, can you do us the honor of protecting our city?’ Instead, I say, ‘Mr. President, do not come to Chicago. You are neither wanted here nor needed here.’”

Hi All, Happy Ukrainian Independence Day. As Ukraine's future will determine much of Europe's, all Europeans should be celebrating today and doing their damndest to see a free, democratic and strong Ukraine emerge from this war.

I reckon we put maga’s finest taxidermist on the case
That got us wondering: How would those governors feel if National Guard troops from other states were ordered onto their streets, perhaps to patrol one of the 53 cities in those states with a higher murder rate than Washington’s? So, we asked them. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/the...
So can social media turn into a force for good? It’s going to take a while but Bluesky is a decent start. Now if decent people could just cut themselves off of musk’s polarisation machine….
Until the 4th estate starts supporting democracy and wakes up to actual reality, meaningful change won’t be possible
If that’s even possible given the 4th estate’s subservience to democracy’s destroyers
Everything Trump does is a shitty version of what Alex Jones has been saying "the Left" is going to do to conservatives for 20 years.
I mean it’s just one toilet flush. The sewers aren’t important
Ok but I hope you also have a longer-than-a-week break planned in the near future also!! Phew
This is the kind of choice that leads to a military that tells you you’ll take Kyiv the first day
This is fucking crazy! The offshore wind farm is almost finished!
