First Big Balls is attacked while "trying to stop a carjacking" and now Giuliani is injured while "helping a domestic violence victim". Can they at least be more creative with their bald-faced lies?

That cavalry charge goes hard. I love the giant men having the time of their lives on ponies on the ship though.
Why don’t you send everyone proof of life first? (Either way, Chicago doesn’t want you here)
CHICAGO…
Rep. Mark Alford to his angry constituents: "If you didn't want to hear my lies, why did you come here?" #BlueCrew
Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond. Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around. Get involved with the @democraticredistricting.com as they fight back: bit.ly/3HJ1ayW
Absolutely disgusting. Reminiscent of Nazi Germany. This is not what a free nation looks like. How ironic that the folks that spent years flying flags saying "Don't tread on me" are encouraging this.
This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.
They didn't even give them grabbers to pick up the trash with? Made them do it by hand? How half-assed and demeaning.
Where's the crowd that was all upset about you supposedly putting information at risk by using a private email server? Apparently the Social Security information about all citizens isn't important to them.
Back in February, I asked why an unelected oligarch and his band of minions felt entitled to your Social Security number. Six months later, it's clear it has ended in disaster. The Trump admin must answer for this violation of public trust that has put all Americans' private information at risk.
Good thing all of the federal environmental regulations are being rolled back.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” ~Theodore Roosevelt
Happy International Dog Day!
And on a related note: why are there so many people out on the greenbelt at this time on a random Tuesday morning? Do you people not work?
TFW you try to take your leash-reactive dog for a walk and another dog owner is completely oblivious to the fact that you're trying to keep separation until they pass. Or worse, they think it's funny to sit there and tease your dog.
Walz: "It boggles my damn mind that in the midst of a military takeover of our cities, the flaunting of the rule of law, that the press finds the need to talk about, 'Oh, there's a division in the Dem Party.' There's a division in my damn house & we're still married and things are good. That's life"
Everything's a reboot these days. This happened back when I was in school too. Difference is, now "politicians" have to try to capitalize on everything. www.wxxinews.org/local-news/2...
Just finished reading Elie Wiesel's "Night". What a powerful book that is almost scarier in the context of our current political landscape. "The Germans were already in our town, the Fascists were already in power, the verdict was already out—and the Jews of Sighet were still smiling."
He's only "tough-on-crime" committed by the poors and people who oppose him. If he can benefit from the crime in any way, he's all for it.
Are grown-ups not allowed to enjoy regular pink lemonade? Thanks Obama.
When we say every MAGA accusation is a confession, we first think of the elected and evangelical pedophiles. But those assholes have also screamed for years that Dems want to "shred the Constitution" and "round people up into camps" and "take away our freedoms." #EveryAccusationIsAConfession
It isn’t normal for a president to repeatedly threaten the use of military force against American citizens. Treating the National Guard as a political pawn disrespects those who serve and undermines public trust in our military.
That got us wondering: How would those governors feel if National Guard troops from other states were ordered onto their streets, perhaps to patrol one of the 53 cities in those states with a higher murder rate than Washington’s? So, we asked them. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/the...
RFK Jr. likes to wax nostalgic about how “healthy” America was in the 1960’s. He bases this on one datapoint, the prevalence of obesity. But let’s dip our toes into reality. In 1965: -42% of American adults smoked; it’s 11% now. -The infant morality rate was 24.7/1000; it’s 5.6/1000 now
“Trump ended 6 wars.” “Name 2.” “Russia Russia Russia… fake news….” A+ exchange on British 🇬🇧 radio
I posted this back in June.
BREAKING: Kilmar Abrego has been RELEASED from prison and is headed home to Maryland to be with his family. Judge Xinis has an order in place requiring a 72 hour notice if ICE decides to detain and deport him to a third country. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
A rainbow crosswalk in Orlando that was part of the city’s Pulse Memorial was painted over by the state last night at the order of Ron DeSantis. The memorial honored the 49 people fatally shot by a gunman at the Pulse LGBTQ nightclub in 2016 — the largest mass shooting in the country at the time.

Very cool, very relatable. We struggle to buy groceries, he brings at least 3 watches on every trip.
We need a governor who stands up to the lawless actions of the Trump regime. @philweiser.bsky.social has done this tirelessly. He doesn't back down. #RuleofLaw ##copolitics
Hiking, hot springs and solitude on the Western Slope. A perfect long weekend back in my old stomping crowds where I got my start working on parks.
If you’re wondering why our governor is saying states should be able to decide if interracial marriage should be legal or why he jumped on building concentration camps here, this was in Indianapolis, Indiana today. The state that wishes it were in the south.
A tale of two vibes.
🤦
I saw an infographic a couple years ago about how to remove source identifiers from links and why it's important, but I can't find it again and too many people I know are sending me links with them so here's an infographic straight from the oven
Imagine if they’d had sandwiches. 🥪
Hey, as a librarian I have to tell you You don't have to finish a book that doesn't interest you. Life's too short for that. Not your jam? You have my permission to move on to the next book.
🇺🇦 Re-upping this one in the name of decency and democracy. Slava Ukraini!
When you’re having trouble with your DUI field test…
Randomly logged into Facebook after ignoring it for years. Felt like every 3rd post was extremely obvious AI slop. Why is anyone even on there anymore?
See the man circled here? That's E.J. Antoni, Trump's Bureau of Labor Statistics nominee, walking through a crowd of Capitol rioters. #ICYMI, we've got an archive of 500+ Parler videos taken during Jan. 6. You can spot Antoni starting at around 1:41 here: projects.propublica.org/parler-capit...
Going to be like the first episode of Black Mirror. ... Trump is the pig of course
So are they going to verbally assault Putin and claim he doesn't "hold the cards" like they did with Zelenskyy? I'm pretty sure Putin still hasn't said thank you for anything.
Children suffer the most from our childishness.
NEW: Governor Newsom will be holding a press conference and rally at 11:30 AM PT tomorrow in Los Angeles regarding redistricting. The announcement is chef's kiss.
This former model, with no background in history, has been put in charge of curating what is "appropriate" at the National Museum of African American History.
So the group that threw a shitfit about curfews masks and lockdowns are now pro curfew masks and lockdowns? Smh
I love reading posts from some of the folks I grew up with. Imagine growing up in a town of 1,200 people, staying there into adulthood, and never travelling more than 100mi from there. Then imagine having the audacity to think you have your finger on the pulse of what issues are plaguing society.
Personally? I'm prepared for anything that might disrupt normal function of society. It's just the smart thing to do.
Shower thought 🤔: What if this deployment of Nat Guard in DC has something to do with Trump's meeting w/ Putin on Friday? Is he preparing to do something he knows will be deeply unpopular and getting his palace guard in place beforehand?
The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you’re overreacting.
As the Lee fire moving up to be the fifth-largest recorded in Colorado, we're updating our wildfire tracking page. Bookmark this page for the latest.
Nah, there are plenty of us on the good side too. We just don't make it our whole personality.
Someone forgot to take down this webpage: www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/v...
Laney is over the dog days of summer and ready for fall and cooler temps!
Here’s the thing, every registered democrat would be fine with every democratic politician or billionaire (or really any Dem at all) being held accountable for raping children. It’s kind of a Humanity thing, not a political one. Also, we’re not in a fuckin cult, you abhorrent POS.
And those people did not pay attention the first time. Trump broke 53% of his campaign promises in his first term and only followed through with 23%. Only the ignorant would listen to him this time around. www.politifact.com/truth-o-mete...
I'm sure the store clerk loved that. Since they're the one that would make that decision and all.
If you don't clack the tongs a few times, are you really even grilling?
Yesterday there was an attempted mass murder of CDC staff and yet RFK the Lesser has not directly spoken to the head of the CDC. Not a single word condemning the violence from him or the President. Turns out T injections and methylene blue can’t fill the empty space where a heart would.
That's actually crazy because cherries are going for $3/lb here in Colorado right now
The issue is that many would prefer to embrace willful ignorance over wisdom these days.

BREAKING: A police officer has died after he was shot by a Anti-vaxxer conspiracy theorist, who opened fire near the CDC complex and Emory University in Atlanta. Your stupid conspiracy theories are literally killing people.
I've played the game of Monopoly enough times to know that a monopoly is only good for the owner of the monopoly while screwing over everyone else. Fun fact: that's the exact lesson that the creator of Monopoly (aka The Landlords Game) wanted folks to take from playing.
NEW: shooter at Emory was reportedly targeting the CDC because he believed he was sick from the Covid vaccine. Kennedy and the GOP have done so much damage!
All I get from this is that if they release the files at any point, we can safely assume that *any* redaction is implicating Trump.
China has also gone all-in and is leading the way with electric vehicles. America is set to fall behind and be left in the dust as we head into the future.

Sure is fun having all of those tiny red dots determine our fates.
We kept trying to break the glass ceiling but instead we missed and broke the Overton window
"riot" - looks like you have a typo in there, it's actually spelled "insurrection"
The most peaceful and most transparent president in the world, maybe ever. At least I'm pretty sure that's what he claimed. Why else would he sign /secret/ directives to use military force. 🤔
Always coming from folks that have never put in a real day of work in their lives.
Tell you what, let's just go full democracy instead of this Republic nonsense. Make every citizen both a senator and congressman. Let's see how it shakes out.
Colorado’s entire congressional delegation, Democrats and Republicans alike, tell Trump to release water project funds
NEW: Firefighters battling “really, really fast” wildfires in northwestern Colorado with 60,000 acres scorched so far coloradosun.com/2025/08/07/l...
Has anyone else experienced a massive influx of spam calls this year? It almost feels as though crippling the federal agencies that are meant to protect us might not have been the best practice.
The Department of Justice hired a former Jan. 6 defendant who was caught on tape urging rioters to "kill" police. The department calls him a "valued member" of the administration.
Wait, but I was told the government was cracking down on waste, fraud and abuse. Does this not fall under all 3?
I'm sure they'll find some surprising data that populations in blue state took a nose-dive while populations in red states are up 1500%. Congressional representation will be adjusted accordingly.
"Groceries" why are you using such an old-fashioned term? It is beautiful though. I've heard it means something like a bag with different things in it.
Sheesh, might as well go to Five Guys if you're going to spend that much
Our public lands are being sold off. These lands belong to all of us yet are soon destined to belong to a select, wealthy few. Just another method of taking from all of us to enhance the lives of folks that already have everything. www.onxmaps.com/onx-access-i...
South Park omg 😂
"[T]he trooper had been harassing Ms. Semanchik in recent weeks. [T]he two had dated for only a few months earlier this year, but that he would not leave her alone." That tracks, seeing how police officers are more likely to exhibit psychopathic traits than the general public. tinyurl.com/5fak658e
They can pull themselves up by their bootstraps and get one of these manufacturing or farming jobs that the immigrants have been"stealing" from them now, right?
NYT, be careful your back doesn't get sore from carrying all that water. Pretty sure it won't come close to covering the budget shortfalls from lowering taxes on the rich. But sure, that money has to trickle down at some point, right?
look what he did to our rose garden
Former Prez Joe Biden spoke at the National Bar Association annual gala in Chicago last night. His #CupOfJoe was brimming with the urgency of action. He implored Americans to be “unapologetic in fighting for the future.” You ready? Be relentless in defense of truth and democracy.
