In wrestling terms, this wsj poll finds the American Dream dead and long live the American Nightmare: "Nearly 70% of people said they believe the American dream—that if you work hard, you will get ahead—no longer holds true or never did, the highest level in nearly 15 years of surveys.”

![Comic. [Two people on shore looking at body of water] PERSON 1: Hey, where’s that big island we were looking at this morning? PERSON 2 with short hair: Oh, it’s underwater. The ocean’s depth here goes up and down by like ten feet every day. PERSON 1: What? PERSON 2: It’s because the planet has a big moon orbiting near the surface. It causes weird gravity effects.

I hope when Kevin Costner dies his obituary identifies him as “American Actor Who Portrayed White Characters”
😔🕯️A Canadian First Nations actor who opened doors for Indigenous actors in Hollywood, died September 1 in a Toronto hospital after a long illness. 72. “He was a great man of morals, ethics and character and will be eternally missed,” #Canada #FirstNations #Indigenous deadline.com/2025/09/grah...
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
There was a Doctor Who episode where something happened because everyone on earth manifested it. Turns out the show is fictional. Damn.
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.
This hits harder than when I saw this movie the first time. #CaptainAmerica
A Democratic super PAC is launching a $700,000 digital ad blitz slamming Susan Collins for opposing a bipartisan bill that would ban members of Congress from trading stocks. This ad accuses Collins of “the worst kind of greed… using insider information to trade stocks.” Please WATCH and SHARE. 👀
See through it.
“Might be”???? We all need to stop hedging, because the playbook is clear even if not explicit. “…the administration, abetted by Republicans in Congress and on the courts, fucking IS laying the groundwork to interfere….” FIFY
Trump’s unprecedented weaponization of National Guard troops in recent months raises alarming concerns that the administration might be laying the groundwork to interfere with elections in key cities next year and in 2028.
Seemingly, so called Christians on the "right" are further away from this than ever in America ✔️ Christian teaching that giving sacrificially (from one's needs) holds greater spiritual value than giving from abundance (from one's wants), Just check with our new "gold palace" in DC

9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
Donald Trump has berserk meltdown about “stupid” White House employee in attempt at distracting from Trump Death Watch
Excellent question.
pure truth.
I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.
The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it. ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures. Losers with power become the most dangerous kind. (c/o Caroline Codsi)
The damage this man has done is incalculable.

Just saying...
Hearing the the Social Security Admin whistleblower who whistleblew a few days ago has now “resigned” involuntarily. Trying to get additional confirmation. This is the chief data officer of SSA.
there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...

Welch: He claims that he's the law and order president. But we all know that's a lie because he's a convicted felon. He pardons convicted felons, he surrounds himself with obsequious people that kiss his all day, every day

Are we no longer talking about the EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES?
Constantly amazed by the compassion people show! 💜
NEW: More than two decades after victims and families of the 9/11 attacks began trying to hold the Saudi government responsible for aiding the Qaida terrorists who carried out the plot, a judge has ruled that a lawsuit against the kingdom can go to trial.

Daskalakis: I very specifically use the term pregnant people, and very specifically added my pronouns at the end of my resignation letter to make the point that I am defying this terrible strategy of trying to erase people
Narrative buster: NYT finds that DC arrests were up only 13% over the previous two weeks and that the biggest change has been more arrests for minor infractions like smoking weed in a public place. (This does not include immigration abductions.) (Gift link.) www.nytimes.com/2025/08/29/u...
The Fed is like that character in Clerks who keeps saying he wasn't even supposed to be working that day. Yes, I'm genuinely sorry, this does suck, but it's your job right now and you have to do it. Saying you're not supposed to be political and hoping it passes will not make it pass.
Mike Johnson makes clear that when Congress returns next week he's going to work tirelessly to cover up the Epstein files

Turns out setting up an immigration detention tent camp without legal authority in a protected swamp nature preserve with a dark sky designation, that had almost zero infrastructure, in the scorching hot Florida summer, during hurricane season, did not turn out well.
Disgraceful.

Newsom: This cannot be normalized. And yes so I'm highlighting some just just blatant hypocrisy. Yes, we are putting a mirror up to the lunacy that is trump's tweets and his grift.
A couple of months ago, the Navy dishonored civil rights hero Harvey Milk by removing his name from a ship. Now, the Air Force is dishonoring itself by celebrating a domestic terrorist called Ashli Babbitt.
Just goes to show the world that once again there are despotic people that are willing to do the bidding of a tyrant & presumably get paid using public money. ICE is no different than Hitler’s henchmen of 1930’s & 1940’s. There is less and less difference between Trump and Hitler as time goes on.
Don’t look away
ICE cannot be reformed from this. It must be abolished. I’m calling on the next Democratic POTUS nominee to pledge to abolish ICE.
The Justice Department has led an unprecedented effort to access states’ sensitive voter data, but no one safeguards elections more than state and local officials. Colorado officials proved that by pushing back against federal demands, Pamela Smith writes.

This is what we keep saying. It costs LESS to do the RIGHT THING. What a damn waste of money. www.newsweek.com/ron-desantis...
The grifting and corruption is infinite at this point. Follow the money, right @hcrichardson.bsky.social ?
BREAKING: Federal Reserve Board Governor Lisa Cook sued to challenge her removal by President Donald Trump.
The cognitive dissonance required to be anti-abortion (“saving” babies) and anti-vaccine, risking children’s lives and health through exposure to vaccine-preventable diseases is staggering.
I do not understand why government officials resign when asked to do something bad. The resignations will no longer be treated by the public like a scandal. It’ll be out of the news within 24 hours. People should stay and force the White House to fire them. Do not make it easy.
ever notice how rfk’s head is crooked?

ICE rushing to deport Florida "Shark Hero"—after jumping in water to rescue 9 year old girl from shark attack. Locked up on ICE hold—judge made it clear he should prepare to be deported. Days after saving girl's hand almost entirely bitten off by shark—pulled over for driving without headlights.
Just admit it: You love your guns more than your children. The first step is acknowledging the problem.
Gupta: Here’s why this matters: 1. Because the FDA indications have changed, if I prescribe it to you, I’m opening myself up to a lawsuit. He directly signals that… 2. A pharmacist is no longer able to prescribe and administer a COVID-19 booster that doesn’t meet indications.
FUCK THESE GESTAPO PRICKS! 😡 www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
Ashli Babbitt was just a fucking nazi. No tears shed.
"Ashli Babbitt was a grown ass adult who made a series of conscious, ill-advised decisions to engage in treasonous behavior, and she got exactly what she deserved. She was a traitor. She was a threat to national security. There is no nuance needed here."
Did I mention ICE arresting firefighters who were LITERALLY fighting a massive fire at the time of their arrest? 🔥 #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files
Between RFK decimating the CDC, normalizing Ashli Babbitt & the umpteenth school shooting... I'm losing the will to post. #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files
Yeah, you should.
He’s looking more like this every week! 😳
Gavin Newsom: Wake the hell up 🇺🇸!!
Rule #1
In Atlanta, staff at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention gathered to applaud colleagues who resigned following the firing of Director Susan Monarez. With four top officials stepping down, many now feel that the CDC is effectively finished.
It's possible ... hear me out, here …. It may well be that these people lie their asses off whenever they exhale
If only they protected children as well as they're protecting the Epstein files
It shouldn't be up to American children to save each other from getting shot. It's the job of American adults to stop shootings from happening in the first place. Ban assault weapons again now.
70 years ago, on this date, Emmett Till was kidnapped and brutally murdered by white men. His family, including his cousin who was with him at the time, is repeating the train ride he took from Chicago to Mississippi in 1955 to mark the anniversary

The GOP is a death cult, but it’s the death of the rest of us that they want.
RFK Jr. will kill Americans, sure as death. You have the GOP to thank you for that.
Okay, pistol awareness... none! Wth? This is not right!!! I can't. Idk how anyone can be okay with it. I'm sorry! 😭💔🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Please help us. Please. 🙏🏼
Hi, immunologist here: (a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes) RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation” That’s NOT how immunology works. He is an anti-science profiteer. Start calling him such.
