Los Angeles - Black mayor D.C. - Black mayor Chicago - Black mayor Baltimore - Black mayor San Francisco - Just lost a Black mayor Seattle - Black/Japanese mayor New York - Black mayor (technically) and Letitia James We gotta stop with the "Democratic Run cities" bullshit and see what it is

And yet JD Vance is not the answer.
Heinous. The US govt is heinous. Pretty clear they have no intention of keeping due process. These poor people. May karma be a beast of a bitch. Lawyers say men deported by US to Eswatini are being imprisoned illegally www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Tariffs collected go into the general fund and are not audited.
South Dakota media could/should be running news about its two term Gov now running a fascist coup on the US but...pfft. And that's why Kristi Lewandowski won a 2nd term. Took the entire state for fools and was right.
The Trump Reich has nothing to say? Trump has more to fear from JD Vance than Putin, so.
Texas loaded busses with desperate migrants and dropped them off in Chicago like trash in the middle of winter. We welcomed them into our communities. Now Texas is sending its National Guard to terrorize them on our streets. In our neighborhoods. What the fuck.
Kristi Lewandowsi will have her 3 yr old gdaughter shoot you in the face.
The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.
Everyone is about to understand why women have argued so long and hard for their privacy rights and why all those cases against us were so damn important.
Tbh, this "We're gonna have a march two months from now" is not meeting the moment for me. The USA is under attack from within, the future deeply grim but sure, let's wait a few months.
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?"
Fck DHS and the fascists running it. I've nothing left for Israel. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
I love Cali. Always the home in my heart. Newsom is the Gov and could be worse (I was there for Reagan) could be better but right now he is the only direct smack back we have to Trump. All in all, it's not fair to him to have to be that. '28 is a long way off, create options if you don't like him.
I am so jealous, France still prosecuting rapists! Gerard Depardieu to stand trial.
Yes, your Guards"man" is taking part in a fascist overthrow of the most prosperous and open democracy in the world on behalf of billionaires. They join Bryon Noem, Usha Vance and all the other spouses and families who will wish to God they'd been brave instead of Nazis.
600 military attorneys to hear immigration pleas. Now that it's totally fine to rape women in service there's prolly no reason to keep them hanging around. www.ocregister.com/2025/09/02/p...
Yes! After two terms of a crazed Gov Kristi Lewandowski and 2 decades of a crazed R super majority in both legis and state offices the People of South Dakota deserve this great win. Let the people speak, SD!
I am 100% in for a movement to reduce the Earth's population.
Gosh she looks like she could be Stephen Miller's evil twin.
While Gov of SD Kristi Lewandowski recognized Sheahan was just that wannabe without values they needed. Lent her to Landry a while to improve her sadistic talents and now her young life and future are completely trashed.
Kristi Noem's Non-Stop Slander Invites Congress to Ask Melania about Her Close Ties to Jeffrey Epstein www.emptywheel.net/2025/09/02/k...
Its the same vile self-puffery as Kristi Noem bragging that she shot a young dog. They've progressed to humans.
Seems like having a Chavez at Sec of Labor will just never work out for us. Linda Chavez was also awful.
With Russia's new assaults and threats to EU members its not hard to figure out he believes the US is weak right now and that Trump is in his corner.
This would be a swell flip.

Jerry Nadler ends his remarkable career, conceding that his brand of politics on the Middle East is over. “I don’t know what to say at this point,” he said. “I can’t defend what Israel is doing.” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/n...
This is, in part, why I say for the love of all that is good and smart do not believe that Mayor Jacob Frey is an earnest man. More lame in substance you'll not find.
She declared Ukrainian children must be returned and whammy.
The US govt is having a war on it's citizens. What are we doing to get ready? Mutual aid, ramp on up.

Last week there were two tourists from Norway on the train. I begged them to give my family right of return, after 170 years away. Stupid settlers.
Initially Kristi Lewandowski budgeted themselves $200 million for PR. She screwed SoDak over for a hefty sum doing the same thing, her everchanging face on the TV screen. Corey's pal got that contract and another pal the DHS PR contracts. They are scammers supreme. And want more power.
People at the Manhattan Inst have long helped create this structure of power we're experiencing so yes, this is something.
You guys see where this is going? Right?
ICE procurement activity since August 22, totaling ~$19M. Companies highlighted in yellow are new to the "Who's Profiting from ICE?" map, available here: bit.ly/3TgUZEq Source: USAspending.gov
Where does all the tariff money go? It's not audited. www.scmr.com/article/wher...
Kristi Lewandowsi and Corey Noem def know as they continue to angle for the highest office and have 175 billion in our dollars to continue promoting her. Just as they did with PR in SoDak only now they're using guns, too.
No auditing of billions in tariffs. Who audits DHS? We're being robbed. There is no separate accounting for all this tariff/tax money, and no auditing. www.scmr.com/article/wher...
Emmer wants to purge trans people from MN, a state he's done nothing for, because of one shooting incident but does not propose purging the far more prevalent danger of cis men's firearms and their penises.

While you are looking at Trump, the oligarchs are seeding themselves deeper into the fabric of society, your government, and your resources. Your media is captured, your institutions are captured, your politicians are captured, and your algorithms are captured. A full system reboot is needed. #3E
Trump is evil but he is largely irrelevant, he’s not really in charge and is part of a larger criminal network. If Trump were to die, the MAGA network would just prop up another figurehead. Trump is a representative of oligarchy not the head of it.

You'd think they were in affordable housing stocks.

Not a peep from the Sec of DHS about the total theft of citizens data but she fired FEMA IT staff calling THEM deep-state. Call out Kristi Lewandowsi every single day. She's coming for you.

House Majority Whip Emmer (Idiot-MN) wants to purge trans people from MN, telling us what his thoughts and prayers consist of. By his logic we should be taking away all white men's guns and penises.

Other than the obvious misogyny, future bad acts against more than pregnant people are carried on the back of reproductive rights litigation.
But by far and away, the biggest priority for a Heritage Foundation-captured CDC is going to be using the agency's legal frameworks for access to medical data, and weaponizing them to control women. *Most* of the Project 2025 plan for CDC is a witch hunt against abortion on an unprecedented scale.
With O'Neill (apparently) taking over CDC (if they ever get around to firing Monarez), I think it's worth looking back to Project 2025 and asking what they actually intend to *do* to CDC. So, I went to remind myself today. Here's what's in store:
What a cheery fucking world this vapid mannequin wants to bequeath us.
An extramarital affair with a violent misogynist man who pulled all the strings while she was Gov to put her in power at DHS and it's massive budget. It is he who runs DHS. Power-grifting pair. The affair is just scratching the surface.

Fletch.
CIDRAP is a great source to keep up on medical news and health findings in these days of mistrust. It also hosts Vaccine Integrity Project. Michael Osterholm has a podcast here. Its a measure of comfort we have this. www.cidrap.umn.edu

My dear friend, how is life... 😊 #dog #dogday #bluesky
Which drugs from the White House Pharmacy would you guess Leavitt is exploiting? Can we see how much Xanax has been doled out this time or we have to wait again, until they're gone. Sec of Corpses might want to be careful, could be a lot of shooters in the staff, so much anxiety and depression.
This story could literally have been published twenty years ago. There were smatterings of stories published on small presses over the years but as with so much of what they were doing was passed over as 'those nutjobs' it was allowed to fester to power. Shameful manipulation of Ugandan power.
Cancel that Amazon order. And the next.
Q: There are calls for the FBI to institute a new class of domestic terrorism that involves trans ideology. Is that something the administration would support? LEAVITT: I would have to check with the appropriate people on that
Also the morally challenged billionaires and their lackeys. Peter Thiel should not be sitting at the CDC conf table. Goodlord, he's already the VP. Come on capitalists, get your sht together and care about something besides the power of your capital.

Honestly, please, let him talk about guns but this man is not not not a natl leader of anything, not even Mpls.
TBH, I have never, ever heard Frey propose anything to get rid of guns in Mpls. Until now he hasn't seemed to give a shit. But, y'know, the guy has an opponent this fall and everyone I know hopes he's toast. Carpetbagger needs to go back to NJ.
Wonder who's staffing the pharm desk. First Thump term was a regular drug den. Sec Wormhole should watch out for staff shooters, all that Xanax. During Trump’s presidency, two sources say, senior staffers would repeatedly down Xanax with alcohol. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
