Denton Texas Tuesdays Thru September 30 Stop Voter Suppression in Denton County
NIGHTS OF BLUE SKIES DAY 1 SEPTEMBER 2025 LABOR DAY THESE HORRENDOUS TIMES Today I honor all those who work hard every day Who loves our Country and fights hard to keep our Democracy I also want to honor all migrant workers who are now in fear of ICE Who are not criminals Honor Them
It's a new month, which means there are new Hubble Night Sky Challenge targets to catch! And thankfully, we have clear skies (which have been rare lately). Here are the 4 September targets I caught tonight with my little #Seestar S50. ππ§ͺ With these targets, I'm now 75% of the way to the end (1/6)
Donald Trump can't win the 2026 midterms fair and square - so he's trying to cheat by calling up his cronies in red states and asking for seats. California: YOU have the power to stop him. Vote YES on Prop 50 to defend fair elections and STOP Trump's election rigging.
Iβve HAD IT with morons calling the Israeli genocidal offensive in Palestine a βwar!β Itβs NOT a fkg war! A WAR is comprised of 2+ national military forces combating each other! Palestine doesnβt HAVE a military force! Israel is committing a terroristic genocide to effect COLONIZATION!
Boooo! π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£
Bring the UCP DOWN!!
π I'm really REALLY hoping parents get loud about this. Smith only pays attention if she thinks it might lose her some votes. You'll need to drown out her Christian right buddies... #handsoff #notmypremier #abpoli
RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. NΚkiβwah brother.
"Computer science isn't political!", they said. "I'm just going to develop AI products for startup cash and to draw cute girls", they said. "You're over reacting and making everything political", they said. We need ethics training in engineering.
My heart bleeds.

I wish the press were as interested in Trumpβs health as they were in Bidenβs

Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.
The world is not ready - or willing - to accept President Vance.
NYT reports TRUMP & MODI had a falling out because Modi wouldnβt back Trumpβs lie that he brokered the India-Pakistan ceasefire β a lie πΊπΈ media has let him get away with with even as Indiaβs media has openly mocked him for it. Video: x.com/thetnholler/...
REGINA β Sundayβs Labour Day Classic had all the drama weβve come to expect between these Prairie rivals, as the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and the Saskatchewan Roughriders went right down to the wire in front of a packed house at Mosaic Stadium.
Nothing that Trump says or does should make us ignore the victims of Epstein who are bravely coming forward to share their stories. Nothing.
But there won't be any chocolate left inside it ...
I get the joke and, well, smirk. But also worth remembering that Walmart is 100% USA, evil, and a huge supporter of Trump's vision. It's cheap at a huge cost.

I've added Netflix to the list of companies to support: psychopete1.substack.com/p/where-to-s... If you look at that, you will also want to check out the boycott list too. Many more companies to boycott than not. If you like it, help spread it: psychopete1.substack.com/p/psycho-pet...
Pastors!?! They're no Christians.
Reminder: Black History IS American History!
Belgium will join the group of countries that will recognize the state of Palestine at this monthβs U.N. General Assembly and will impose sanctions on Israel over the war in Gaza, Foreign Minister Maxime PrΓ©vot announced overnight.
There must be consequences or Putin will kill next time.
Soft succession is the answer to saving democracy. Don't fight physically because Trump is counting on that to take control of the next election. Watch this: youtu.be/ml9fhJGF59g?... Figure out how each state can do this. Work out the details. It's doable.
BRILLIANT!!!
Do those Nobel people offer a "Meme of the Year" award? =====================
@sanders.senate.gov youtu.be/9EYC75wtwCM?... Excellent report
That's true. USA labour law at all levels is pretty much shite. (I worked in Wisconsin for a couple of years as a Business/Management prof)
You watch: the CPC will be pushing to let churches participate more directly in elections/politics.
All the more reason ...
Amazing footage!
A sea turtle surfacing by a MASSIVE school of rays near Clearwater, Florida a couple days ago. Another post into the BluSky void. Maybe 2 or 3 people will see this one and my time won't have been wasted. I'll keep trying a little longer. #nature #animals #amazing #wildlife #awesome #ocean
Unions are The Way
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
Piet Hein: AN ETHICAL GROOK I see and I hear and I speak no evil; I carry no malice within my breast; yet quite without wishing a man to the Devil one may be permitted to hope for the best.
Unions are The Way. Always have been: always will be until we get real political representation and not 1% puppets (all parties)
You are such a good friend, Mo. And an inspiration!
My heart bleeds. Graham Greene has passed away. There will be better obits from CDN sources but for now: www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/ar...
I'm part of that world that's observing the United States from afar, and I guarantee that most people outside the United States see Trump as a complete idiot, the American Congress as weak and cowardly, and the Supreme Court as corrupt.
They look to be pretty good. Only thing I could find were some OSHA issues, but other than that, if they are a good alternative to goya, i think we can list them as an alternative. they definitely dont seem to meet the criteria for our boycott.
Boycott update: Updated the Goya Foods entry to be 10 percent more vicious and added a couple of great alternatives to Goya. open.substack.com/pub/psychope...
Phenomenal breakdown of PragerU's impact on public education by our very own @mannyfaces.com. Unf*ckers know Manny as our engineer extraordinaire, but he's also one of the foremost scholars on Hip-Hip in American culture and education.
The GOP don't care. They think the USA still rules the world and that the USA has credibility and influence. π. π
Presidents Xi, Putin and PM Modi would never be palling around today if it wasnβt for the extraordinary foolishness shown by the president of the United States.
I think that tightening up our political (not just elections) finance rules and moving toward a more localised representation is imperative. Look at the state of USA politics.

Maybe NOT getting a deal was the best outcome for Canada. Countries like the UK are now STUCK with their deals, even if the original tariffs are thrown out. #cdnpoli

Alberta CONservatives will never learn because they are owned by the oil and gas companies.
Better yet: let's follow Nunuvut's example and get rid of political parties altogether in a Consensuns Government www.assembly.nu.ca/sites/defaul...
#cdnpoli is progressive. Major parties oppose any change to the status quo that may weaken the party system. It's a huge undertaking but everyone's vote would be heard. Example of how FPTP cheats voters from #onpoli election www.fairvote.ca/28/02/2025/p...
Progressives will probably do even better with proportional representation too. Ik why they don't use it to unite the center left with it. Corporates probably stopping them.
If Canadians want to hamstring MAGA CPC & others like it Canada needs serious electoral reform. Proportional Representation, not 19th C British style elections. The STV Trudeau promised & then reneged on is not actual proportional representation, but better than what we have. #cdnpoli
Poilievre has to get turfed at his leadership review. We canβt ignore him & his threat to Canada. I know he is annoying, exhausting, but his toxic, extremist politics get normalized the longer he is opposition leader. If the polling is dismal, if Cons see how hated he is, he will get dumped #NeverPP
Hereβs a positive story about a totem pole being repatriated from the UBC Museum of Anthropology
Great news!!!

I wonder what it would take to get the good folks at juicedtv (Aus) to do a segment on Danielle Smith's Alberta? #abpoli #canpoli
1/2 A new report from the Pembina Institute says "direct employment in Canadaβs oil & gas industry actually peaked in 2012 at 220,060. Over the following decade, despite Canadaβs oil production growing by almost 50%, direct employment declined by 17%." www.nationalobserver.com/2025/08/28/o...
The government of Israel is a loathsome, disgusting, racist, fascist, genocidal, and apartheid one that should be SHUNNED by civilised countries until it cleans up its leadership. Stop Israeli genocide! #FuckIsrael #IsraelRacistFascistGenocidal. #NetanyahuIsEvil
A deliberate man-made genocide in Gaza infuriates people, its an international war crime. Netanyahus using the term antisematism to cover his genocidal slaughter of Palestinians + to thwart protests. Some libs are using antisematism to quash Palestinian protests. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
Deport the UCP and their supporters to Russia.
Racist fuckers. #cdnpoli

Starting look like Carney is getting ready to throw more public $ into the dead tech of oil and gas. A terrible idea. We should all be prepared to resist it as loudly and clearly as we can. These 2 complimentary podcasts lay it out. #cdnpoli youtu.be/CF2SqQOJUC8?... youtu.be/n9MmJkkv780?...
The war on women in Canada π¨π¦ is looking exactly the way it started in πΊπΈ. Corporations are going after women-led professions, the Government is defunding women support services and deprioritizing womenβs health. Pay attention. #cdnpoli
If you watched the Liberals trample on Air Canada workers Charter right to strike & are watching them today profess their care for Canadian workers, are you finally beginning to understand they say one thing and do the opposite? This doesnβt just apply to labour, itβs everything right now #cdnpoli

Such a terrible thing. No shame in this. There are many educational programs, libraries, and people who could help you learn to read.
Advice to Canadians thinking about travelling to the USA: see a mental health professional for those latent self-harm tendencies and stay home.
Fyi. Added Netflix to this list of companies to support. They arenβt perfect but supporting them is good strategy. Boycott guide still pinned to my feed. Updating daily.
