I’m old enough to remember when we had 47,000 congressional hearings over Hunter Biden allegedly making money off his father’s name. Meanwhile, Trump’s corruption, in the billions, gets openly celebrated.
Think about being triggered by sidewalk chalk...
The Democratic party leadership is only concerned with finding moderates who don't rock the boat too much – and that's the exact opposite of what we need and what this time demands.
What exactly is the point of continuing to pretend you are a journalist if you literally just print what this known and obvious liar says? They just murdered 11 people. They've claimed similar threats but never proven them. We're murdering Venezuelan citizens. Write that down.

I'm reading Le Guin's A Wizard of Earthsea to my 8 year old and I'd forgotten how...heavy it is. GRRM has the reputation for subverting expectations in the fantasy genre, but Le Guin here is utterly neutering the power of magic, hemming it in with hubris, responsibility, & hard-earned humility.
What Lloyd Gray’s Case Tells Us About the “Jim Crow Juries” Haunting Louisiana, by @richardawebster.bsky.social @veritenews.org
Space Command is moving to Huntsville, Aabama. Did you know its moving to REDSTONE ARSENAL, which is an EPA Superfund site due to the toxic waste and groundwater contamination that they're STILL dealing with? This will be another health disaster for the people stationed there like Camp Lejeune.
Declassified video showing the U.S. committing a war crime when it fired on a civilian vessel near Venezuela. Being suspected of carrying drugs does not carry a death sentence and certainly not without due process.
Project 2025 is a terrorist organization. Their goal is to destroy the United States of America. They and all their enablers should be dealt with accordingly. The best time to do it was ten years ago, the next best time is TODAY! #GOP #SCOTUS #Congress #POTUS #USA #America @romanpiso.bsky.social
“Virginia Giuffre took her life because of the institutional, consecutive failures and betrayals of our government. So this is a matter of life and death!” ~Rep Ayanna Pressley (D-OH) #VirginaGiuffre #TrumpEpsteinCoverUp #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles
One of my Supreme Court reform takes is they should be completely barred from taking any outside income (incl. publishing deals) and it should be particularly frowned upon, normatively, to be writing books. Memoirs are for writing after you retire, not five years into a lifetime appointment.

Ghost jobs are a real danger for people living paycheck to paycheck. Someone teetering on the edge of poverty may spend precious hours, transportation money, and emotional energy applying to positions that don’t exist or are already filled.

The U.S. just blew up a small boat off Venezuela. No trial. No warning. No proof offered beyond “we suspected.” 11 people dead. This is what it looks like when a president claims the power to kill on suspicion alone. This is why we need accountability before we face another tragedy. Horrified.
I often think all members of the political and economical elite should be imposed a constitutional 2 term limit (say 12y max on the same highest organisational level).
Excellent thread Important 🚨 Please take a moment to read and share Thank you @drdind.bsky.social
Putin is escalating
Today's ISM survey commentary is fun: "Tariffs continue to wreak havoc" "There is absolutely no activity in the transportation equipment industry. This is 100 percent attributable to current tariff policy. "We are also in stagflation: Prices are up due to material tariffs, but volume is way off.”

Jamie @raskin.house.gov While we reject it, who will enforce this? There’s only one way this ends, and it won’t be pleasant. The Felon-in-chief and the heritage foundation will never stop their plan to fully enact Project 2025. So if our military turns on us, what’s your plan?
There’s dignity in all labor, across diverse industries. Whether you clean buildings, teach kids, or stock shelves, you deserve safety, respect, and a living wage. Organizing is how we get there.
Oh boy. @ericowens.bsky.social @radiofreetom.bsky.social www.cnn.com/2025/09/02/p...
We were going to have union wage jobs. We were going to have enhanced national security. We were going to have all that and more. Instead, we have warehouse jobs for big businesses trying to avoid the tariffs and deminimis charges, and we're behaving like gorillas thumping our chests in Venezuela.
SAY YES TO PROP 50‼️ Thank you for your attention to this matter.
The first elected leader to arrest ice leadership and shut ice out their state will be celebrated.

This is how we do it. Refuse to be intimidated.
🚨 The silence is over. Tomorrow at 10:30 AM, survivors of Epstein’s abuse will speak on Capitol Hill. Reps. Ro Khanna & Thomas Massie will stand with them. Listen to the victims. Believe them. RELEASE THE FILES ‼️
We must keep fighting them. It does make a difference!
the thing about unhoused people in cities causing disruption is that figuring out ways to get them homes/into services or treatment they need is *actually the only solution* this isn't just a moral thing. I don't support arresting these folks but also we can't do that. it wouldn't fix the issue.
Washington DC: a large group of people are gathered outside Union Station to protest against Trump

This is the most corrupt President in the history of America. We must hold him accountable, and we must dismantle the entire system of corruption in our government. Ban congressional stock trading, ban the revolving door between Congress and lobbying, end big money in politics.
Teachers are reportedly spending an average of $895 out-of-pocket on school supplies — a nearly 50% increase since 2015. Is there a “teacher shortage,” or a shortage of jobs that treat educators with the dignity, support, and pay they deserve? https://youtu.be/AbBbhoHRPSU?feature=shared
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
Another protest in Washington, D.C.!!! Women dressed in red lined the street for almost a block!! What a strong statement by women who took time off to protest on a Tuesday!! Thank you so much!! 💗
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.
🚨Regarding the #Pentagon and #SpaceForce announcements: Reps @rokhanna.bsky.social (D-CA) and Thomas Massie (R-KY) are holding a press conference tomorrow, 9/3, 10:30am, with ten victims of Epstein’s sex trafficking. Link to watch live: youtube.com/live/q6fUosr... 🗣️ Release the Epstein files
How could anyone expect a draft dodger to respect the sacrifices our military members make for this country?
"I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK?" Trump, 2016 F*ck DJT.

Over a third of U.S. adults aren't able to cover an unexpected $400 expense, yet many families are forced to pay thousands for their loved ones to be released from jail before trial.

Graham Platner: The enemy is the oligarchy. I keep getting told that voters don't know what that word means. We know what's happening when we're getting robbed blind. We do not live in a system that is broken. It is functioning exactly as intended.

Happening now: Washington DC protesters demand the release of all the Epstein files and justice for the victims.
Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?"
I personally dealt with all those issues. Also, forget getting a checking account or credit card...and if you applied for unemployment, the first question they would ask was "are you pregnant"...cause it was just fine to fire a woman for being pregnant. No unemployment wages. And that was New York.
According to Janine Pirro, MAGA DC Attorney General, in a move to protect 2nd Amendment rights, open carry will no longer be considered a felony in Washington DC. If it is prosecuted at all, it will be as a misdemeanor.
Judge Beyer warned that the administration’s approach risked creating a “national police force with the President as its chief.” Breyer emphasized that the protests did not qualify as a rebellion, nor did local law enforcement capabilities justify federal military intervention. 👇
That comment is disrespectful. It is Racist and unAmerican. 👇
If only I’d had a friend for them to worry about
That’s because former Fox host Jeanine Pirro was unable to get the grand jury to indict her, which is conveniently left out here.
It’s not should it’s would.
The White House is calling Republican lawmakers right now trying to pressure them to not release the Epstein documents!!! #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles #TrumpIsGuiltyAsFuqk

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.

U.S. officials of both parties spent years struggling to develop homegrown alternatives to China’s telecom giants. The GOP abruptly defunded its biggest tool.
When we take back the House and presidency, we cannot just build it back. It was not working. We have to reexamine and reimagine how we can meet the moment we are in now. #flipca40 #orangecounty #unseatyoungkim #takebackthehouse #ca40 #california
Hey, so, it now costs $63.60 to ship a tshirt to US, where it cost $32 before. It’s also going to cost me an upgraded Shopify plan (way more expensive) and hours to rework my shipping system to integrate the new changes I just can’t do that right now and I also doubt anyone wants to pay that much.
Over the long weekend, the Trump administration quietly tried to deport 76 unaccompanied children to Guatemala – ignoring laws protecting such minors from speedy deportations. Thankfully, a federal judge blocked the effort. The cruelty of this regime knows no bounds.
Surely, the decision to hold a military spectacle at that time is just coincidence.

Senate Democrats: DO NOT FUND the government when the current continuing resolution expires at the end of the month. SHUT IT DOWN unless DC is funded, the troops are withdrawn from our cities, elections are protected, the Epstein files are released in full... SHUT IT DOWN.

Trump announced he assassinated a boat full of civilians in the Caribbean that he alleges were drug smugglers (no evidence provided and even so, not a proportionate strike if true). Marco Rubio also used his social media to boast of the war crime.

Under Dr. Oz, Medicare is launching a pilot program that will use AI to determine whether patients would be covered for certain procedures. Companies running the program will be paid a share of the savings from rejecting claims. Who in their right mind voted for this? No one.
