Global Citizen / Egalitarian Been on social media too long to entertain idiots, haters, bots, snarks, or thoughtless critics. If men were so great, we’d be living in paradise not at constant war, in global poverty, on a dying planet. Neocons = ☠️

So, the 34-felony convict liable for sexual assault will have awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to an adulterer (Limbaugh), an election fraud charged with 9 felonies (Giuliani), and a pedophile protector (Jim Jordan). The medal is now meaningless.
Okay. I just came back to this and you aren’t calling these efforts resegregation yet, you absolutely should be

'Massive' Sudan landslide kills over 1,000 in Darfur, says armed group
Neocons are career politicians, progressives are not. Neocons followed the 1972 #PowellMemo and won. Progressives don’t have a plan, they observe events. The answer is simple: Run for any and every elected office. Follow the Powell Memo with progressive values.
Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.
I love this!
Thank you on this labor day!!
Men believe bizzare myths about having sex with children. I guess one is not you will look healthy. So all that sex with minors did not give you good looks.
What vendors don't understand is when Instagram does an acct dump into TLs that are abt the same product, I get angry. Is that the point, negative customer service?
Question: is anyone getting frustrated with #instagram? In my TL, every other post is a jewelry acct. I've tried the "not intetested" option & blocking, nothing works.

The World Bank's investments in East African hospitals were meant to help alleviate poverty. For some, however, those services came at an almost unbearable cost (co-published with @icij.org)
This is a series about jerks, blowhards, racists, creeps, narcs, petty tyrants, tenured incompetents, passive–aggressive underminers, Taylorist fussbudgets, Pinkertonish snoops, pious liberal union-killers, and sneering capitalist dickheads, which is to say it is a series about bosses. From 2021:

BREAKING: ICE deported a Burmese man who doesn’t speak English to South Sudan—a country he’s not from and on the brink of civil war. He refused to sign English-only papers. They deported him anyway—with 11 others. No hearings. No translators. Court order ignored. This is state-sponsored kidnapping.
Since neocons hate the public and never do anything good for the public, they resent other public-minded citizens, who often devote their lives do doing good, get awards like the @nobelprize.bsky.social or their portraits on @timemagazine.bsky.social or are honored at the Kennedy Center, etc.

Once again, of the laws creating aircraft carrier-sized loopholes for the president to utter the magic words "national emergency" or "national security" & then rule like a King must go. We can have nuanced discussion about re-delegation later but not now. bsky.app/profile/mcop...
Trump fired experienced immigration judges during a historic case backlog, then decided the solution was … hiring people with ZERO immigration law experience. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...
Eastern Parkway always feels like the heartbeat of New York during the West Indian Day Parade — the food, the flags, the dancehall and soca. Caribbean culture makes this city great 🇹🇹🇭🇹🇧🇧🇩🇲🇱🇨🇯🇲🇻🇨🇬🇩🇬🇾
I have been aware of my loss of quality of life due to neocon policies and @democrats support of those policies since 1999 and ihas continued to get worse since then, Thanks dems. There is no democratic party.
Normal life continues for most of us, most of the time — but everything we took for granted is slipping away.
Best not to even think about where those children would be today if Judge Sooknanan used her phone's "Do Not Disturb Mode" feature.

"Men Are Not Cost Effective" by Dr. June Stephenson
Random thought: Our mass shooting problem has two elements: Assault weapons, and butt hurt men. If they won’t allow us to regular the guns, maybe we need to regulate the men. Aggressive and unregulated men cause like 90% of all crime on planet earth. Just sayin….
Labor Day reminder: The best leaders aren’t career politicians—they’re people who live the struggles you do. Want policies that actually work for you? Run. 👉 runforwhat.net
HEY NYC! The great @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social dancing on the @jcod3.bsky.social float at the West Indian Day Parade! #CuomoCouldNever
Reading @sarahkendzior.bsky.social ‘s latest book. “Impunity, the sadist’s conception of freedom.” What a great line.

I'll be covering this and more at Law Dork today: www.lawdork.com Fifth status report: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... In the meantime, here's my thread of Sunday's developments:
If I was a foreign invader that conquered us, I’d put in place a Vishy government just like this to rip the country apart, so I don’t have to. They’re literally destroying everything great about America, which has been a Russian goal for a long time. Coincidence or orders?
BREAKING: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson defies President Trump by leading a "no troops in Chicago!"
Again.
What could possibly go wrong?
Kräken's post inspired me to make a meme. Save & share because it should be seen broadly & made into bumper stickers, bridge signs & flyers. ICE is a fascist Gestapo-like secret police force with poorly trained goons that violate our rights & use maximum force to unconstitutionally abduct people.
Today we celebrate the strength and resilience of working people everywhere. Nearly 300,000 federal employees have lost their jobs this year not because of necessity, but because of a political agenda. And while people’s lives were destroyed in the name of “saving money,”
Signs you might be a far right authoritarian party (#2891):
Did you know in 1890 manufacturing employees worked on average 100 hours a week? It would be decades before the eight-hour workday became real. It took labor activists and labor unions to turn the cry for change into policy and practice. www.americaamerica.news/p/a-labor-da...
The MAGA/MAHA dudes who are now propping up RFK Jr’s kooky, deadly anti-vaxx actions—Drs Bhattacharya, Kulldorff, Makary, Oz, Prasad—once upon a time were academics in biomedicine, but now do not have an ounce of courage or integrity. The lure of the right-wing & anti-vaxx podcasts is too great 😢
“'No one is above the law,' Pulte dramatically declared at a press conference as if his liege, Trump, does not routinely act otherwise." So many foxes signing on to "guard" our henhouse, each with its own book of favorite chicken recipes.
9 former directors of the CDC penned an op-ed stating that what Robert F. Kennedy has done to the nation's public health system is "unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced" www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

Don't. Grant. The. Premise. Not least because the data suggest it is a Narrative™️ that cannot fail (it can only be failed).
Trump and RFK Jr. tried to fire Center for Disease Control and Prevention Director Susan Monarez for refusing to rubber-stamp their junk science. Problem: she’s Senate-confirmed. Translation: she’s not leaving until Trump himself does. 🫡
AI-generated climate “slop” isn’t harmless. It’s cheap, fast, and designed to muddy the truth.

How can you deter the Trump administration's immigrant deportation machine when it pops up in your community? Follow these steps.
Not that anyone really cares but a bigger and mostly forgotten scandal was COVID funds to schools being redirected to non-mitigation related equipment and repairs that significantly delayed school reopenings
Not today, Satan‼️ Got this garbage in the mail a few days ago. Republicans trying to trick California voters into voting NO on Prop 50. Suddenly they care about “democracy”? Please. Vote YES on Prop 50. Don’t let the cheaters write the rules.
First big league strike out for Washington Nationals lefty Andrew Alvarez! Congratulations!
