Siri, what do we call it when a state sends unwanted troops into another state without permission in order to seize and hold territory? Is there a word for that?!

The spray-painted gold ornamentation is spreading like a cancer
As many as 100 survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and other victims of sexual abuse are expected to attend a rally Wednesday in Washington, D.C. as a bipartisan Congressional effort gains steam to force the U.S. Department of Justice to make public its controversial files on the disgraced sex trafficker.
Pritzker: "Unidentifiable agents in unmarked vehicles with masks are planning to raid Latino communities and say they're targeting violent criminals."
I get media is a broad term. I understand independent media does a good job reporting in general. But y’all, legacy media has become a real problem and if they can’t report on the president’s abuses accurately they are going to tank democracy for good.
Everything he does is fake....
Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."
I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable
In the coming days, we expect to see what's playing out in LA and DC happen in Chicago. These efforts are not about fighting crime or making communities safer. This is about Donald Trump testing his power and producing political drama to cover up his own corruption.
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?"
Which version? The Protestant or the Catholic version? What does he do about Baptists who don't believe in the recitation of rote prayers? And how does he NOT see that this is a direct violation of the First Amendment and our right to practice our own religion OR be free from all religion?
Brian Stetler just told CNN that we were memeing about Trump's health this weekend to monetize speculation and make a quick buck on Bluesky. Are we supposed to be getting checks?
Real evil shit.
"It breaks my heart to report that we have been told ICE will try and disrupt community picnics and peaceful parades. Let's be clear, the terror and cruelty is the point, not the safety of anybody living here." JB Pritzker
Speaker Moses is from Louisiana. Is there another Mike Johnson in the AL state legislature? That's possible. Also possible that someone in AL offered Shitler a bribe to move it, despite all the infrastructure in Colorado Springs from his last occupation of the WH.
I'm okay with all of that. If the GOP can gerrymander states to leave Dems without representation, I'm good if we do the same in the states we lead. 🤷♀️
ICE is on track to gain access to controversial spyware designed to hack phones and read private messages after the Trump administration jettisoned a Biden-era order.
If they enact a new illegal congressional map, Missouri will be sued.
It's depressingly common for people with unexamined prejudices to double down on them, rather than accept new information and change their thinking. 😓 The Oatmeal did a cartoon essay about this that I still think about: theoatmeal.com/comics/believe
Literally no one on the planet elected her. Not a single person, American or not, elected her.

Low birthrates are happening all around the world. When you reward billionaires and harm everyone else, why on earth would anyone want to have children if they weren't already rich? But here in America, we want MORE white children and less non-white children. It's about white supremacy as usual.
Kennedy must be removed from office. He has already caused a catastrophe at HHS and the CDC. I strongly suspect that he is about to use data manipulated by unscrupulous and unqualified individuals to attempt to falsely show that vaccines are in some way a net harm. He simply must be stopped.
Oh, poor little Serena Joy's vacation was spoiled when she voted to take rights away from women. Boo hoo. Abortion has been around far longer than the Constitution she doesn't uphold, too.
Netflix is putting its money where its mouth is: 💰 $2M to back Newsom in the redistricting fight 📺 A deal for Sesame Street — new episodes and the full archive free to watch. That’s how you pick a side.
One thing that's really reassuring about SCOTUS is how their actual, real, serious, genuine position on ethics is "we are not bound by any mortal law nor any code or creed, this is our world, you merely live in it."
I don't know if Donald Trump is sick or dying, but I do know he's wrecking the economy with his tariffs, driving up costs, choking the job market, and covering up the Epstein files.
Just bullshit. Lies for his dumb base.
As a human in DC right now I would get a significant boost to quality of life via a widely available COVID vaccine compared to armed men harassing my neighbors. Would call my representatives in federal government to point this out, if I had any
Very revealing to learn which transgressions Glenn Youngkin (whose own then-17 year-old son *twice* tried to illegally vote for him on Election Day 2021) thinks make a person deserving of being kidnapped by masked federal thugs: virginiamercury.com/2025/08/28/a...
“She reportedly secured a $2 million advance for her book published on the conservative Sentinel imprint of Penguin Random House.” Their attacks about “activist judges” were always a projection.
A tutorial about who pays for Trump's boneheaded (and illegal) tariffs. We, the American taxpayer do! 😳👇
She is 32, the same age I was when she was born, so she was thinking about how hard I worked to teach her that she didn't have to get married & didn't need to upend her life for any man. She now has met a guy who isn't going to pressure her into marriage or giving up her career. I am thrilled!
Obviously. As if appealing to racists should be applauded. 🙄
My daughter sent me this from Lung Capacity. It hit hard. She then called to say as a millennial, she was sorry that I did not have the benefit of actually making this choice for myself but she was happy I taught her she had real world options. She is thrilled I am living and not just surviving now.
The Trumpstein Files - Redux exposes Trump's disturbing behavior with Epstein and the shifting stories he told. With survivors soon to be in a private congressional roundtable, this expose gets you ready to understand it all: https://americanmanifesto.news/the-trumpstein-files-redux
Moving Space Command away from NORAD is stupid. Colorado already has the existing ecosystem to support both the command and the operations. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
Very interesting algorithm analysis, which explains the repeated problems with content moderation getting in the way of social justice tldr: it's always good to block a TERF or a white supremacist or any other type of fascist original post: www.tumblr.com/chiptrillino...

Colorado: 2016/2020/2024 - voted for the Democratic nominee for president. Alabama: 2016/2020/2024 - voted for Shitler. This is why Shitler wants to move "Space Command" from Colorado Springs to Huntsville.
Corporate executives who defraud nursing homes? Pardoned. Reality TV stars who evade millions in taxes? Pardoned. Thousands of January 6th rioters? Pardoned. Anyone who opposes Trump? Prosecuted.
He didn't give up. White doomers take note.
A Department of Justice lawyer accused Harvard University of "indifference to antisemitism." Yet that lawyer, when he was a senior at Harvard, submitted a paper written from the perspective of Adolf Hitler.
Good morning: When will white women be held accountable for raising mass shooters & sexual predators the same way you all insisted black women were to blame for raising black men that you all called “thugs?” (Despite that not being the case)😉😉😉
NOTHING TO SEE HERE EXCEPT THE WORLDS MOST OBVIOUS CORRUPT CON MAN BEING PRESIDENT OF THE USA
"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.
donOld doesn’t really appear well enough to make it to Nuremberg style trials, but everyone else who empowered him should still be held accountable! Every last one of them! Justice for his crimes against humanity should be served for our country to heal!

This is insanely ahistorical. The Department of Defense was an all new creation in 1947, specially to bring together the disparate armed services. The “Department of War” was really just the army. I hate how stupid Trump’s most performative actions are.
For those asking why Judge Breyer stayed the ruling, the answer is because, if he didn't, someone else (the Ninth Circuit or #SCOTUS) would have, at least temporarily. I know it's frustrating, but the stay is designed to avoid provoking either a less-sympathetic Ninth Circuit panel or the justices.
I'm just gonna flip on some corporate media really quick... ABC: ads CNN: ads Back to CNN: Trump's Chicago "immigration enforcement" MSNBC: Protests in Chicago Back to ABC: A "federal judge getting in the way of Trump's immigration crackdown" Back to CNN: Weekend travel Nothing about Trump MIA
Why history is important...
Under 30 days the state has to pay. Another way to punish states.
Yeah, I was told he was solving all wars on day 1, but he instead is trying to cause as many wars as possible, and of course siding with the wrong side every time. It is the Department of Defense. Period.
This is the way
I said "idiots like you." And I mean it. You don't live here, so STFU. Harris's policies were everywhere. You are just a chaos agent, and deserve to be blocked for lying.
Brilliant 😎👊
Concerning Trump‘s press conference today… In light of the Epstein survivor testimony expected this week, take whatever you’d expect Trump to say, raise it to the stupidest exponent imaginable… Then double it.

Bozo Fascist reality-twisting: 1. ) Needlessly create economic chaos by imposing, rescinding, re-imposing arbitrary tariffs. 2.) Blame the judiciary for economic chaos when it strikes down the tariffs as unlawful. DON'T BUY IT. CHAOS IS HOW FASCISTS ACCUMULATE POWER. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/02/u...
180 shots fired, 150 broken windows. Tumultuous firings and resignations at the CDC. The installation of a techno-optimist with a history of pushing unproven medical treatments. The month of August 2025 may go down as the worst in the history of the US Health and Human Services Department.

Reps. Ro Khanna (CA) and Thomas Massey (KY), have announced they will have a press conference on Wednesday, September 3, 2025 at 10:30 a.m. Eastern at the U.S. Capitol. They plan to have victims who have never spoken publicly before about Jeffrey Epstein. It should be explosive!
She lost because idiots like you wouldn't vote for a Black Asian woman. But when the fascist regime comes for you, don't cry to Dems about it. You got what you wanted and DGAF about anyone else losing their rights and freedoms, so GFY.
This is not reporting. This is propaganda.
Yep. And they will be coming for anyone else who doesn't bow down and kiss the ring of their Dear Leader. It's too bad we have such an impotent SCOTUS who thinks having a king is a good thing. Shame on them for being so shitty.
We are not a representative democracy. Never have been, and now will become even less so, all because mediocre white men continue to think they are the only ones who matter. I was excited when you said 10% but not surprised it was only 5%. White ppl are determined to keep white supremacy alive, imo.
That’s because former Fox host Jeanine Pirro was unable to get the grand jury to indict her, which is conveniently left out here.

They literally refuse to believe Obamacare comes from Obama. I am not lying. I have seen it with my own Kentucky girl eyes. They will deny to your face that Medicare comes from the government. Government is when a black person has something you do not.

Depends. Which ones are white and Christofascists? That's the side this "foundation" will choose.
We are a fascist, terroristic country that comes after citizens who dare to protest fascism. What a downfall from democracy we have experienced. And shame on this idiot MAGA prosecutor as he's just another version of Habba.
You make a good point. My degrees are in Public Policy & Public Safety and I work in the legal field, so I naturally pay attention to this stuff but it didn't occur to me that others lack such basic knowledge, stuff I learned in high school, really. You'd think they would research before speaking.
I have high arches, so they don't work for me. I like them, but they aren't for me.
They don't seem to understand how the committees work, either. It wouldn't make it out of committee. Geez, but they are dumb.
If Mike Johnson doesn't set off every bell in your creep alarm, you need a major reset – cuz it's fuckin' broken.

It's also notable that Mary Kennedy's car WAS IN THE GARAGE where she was found hanged - still with her fingers of both hands caught between throat and rope, tied with a pro hangman's noose - one checks the garage first to see if their car is home? YET, RFK Jr. checked attic, lake, everywhere else.
RFK Jr was not chosen to preside over US public health and science because he had any qualifications. He had a famous family name and Trump needed his endorsement and supporters. We saw it happen live in this call. That’s why we are here.
