#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1885: A mob of white miners in Rock Springs, Wyo., attack and kill at least 28 Chinese miners, wound 15 others and burn down the town’s Chinatown. Union troops were called in to quell the violence, which was rooted in economic tension and anti-Chinese racism. /1
Love this street art in Ballard WA 😁 There should be protest art in every neighborhood. She sells these as stickers on Etsy, under Fruit Chunks account #ResistFascism
Hawaii volcano LIVE: Eruption from Kilauea
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
That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.
Are you a knitter or crocheter like me? It's another industry Convicted Felon Donald Trump is trying to fuck up. A number of yarn shops struggle to survive. Tariffs will close many of them. Are we winning yet? #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsACriminal www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
Comrade, we designed a new device to detect heart problems. It is 100% effective. But comrade, this device says that every single person has a heart condition and requires expensive follow-up treatment? Precisely, comrade, it is 100% effective. Ah, I understand, comrade.

there's a special election tonight in Florida's SD-15 tonight, which is an Orlando-area 61-38% Harris district. looks like Dems will have a big overperformance. as of 3 PM, turnout is 60% D, 27% R, 12% NPA, 1% other (+34% D). that's a MUCH better margin than current registration or 2024 turnout.

I am 76 & I have had most of these vaccinations at one time or another. Also vaccinations against Covid, Tetanus, plus Cholera & Yellow Fever when travelling in foreign countries. These prevented me catching horrible diseases & dying a gruesome death. They did not harm me, they protected me!
UPDATE (AGAIN!) Shooter has been arrested and charged with murder! www.khou.com/article/news... The man seen being detained was described as a middle-aged white man with a "stockpile of weapons" in his home. Continued...

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. 👀

Local news: If you watch it through, it sounds like the police are referring to this as a “fight.” This wasn’t a fight. It was a race-based attack. On August 16, 2025, a 14 YO Black teen from Platteville, Wisconsin, was attacked by white teens at a party in the town of Pulaski, Iowa County. 3/4

Kind of reminds me of a sign on a door of a store I was about to enter back during the pandemic. It said all masks are forbidden inside - "because we have freedom of choice in this country!" I didn't go in. For the Right - their freedom is to tell everyone else what to do.
It's actually worse than that. It's mass murder, and they know exactly what they are doing. Cashing us out and killing us off. The billionaires got theirs, now we are just in the way.

The media is complicit in this fake “back to normal” where Covid is magically no longer a threat when it still is, because the media serves corporate masters not the public good. Most people naively think “If Covid was still a danger it would be all over the news!” Not if they don’t want you to know

What could possibly go wrong?
The problem isn’t refugees on boats. The problem is oligarchs hoarding obscene amounts of wealth while most people fight to stay afloat. Wages aren't tied to inflation, so the working class keeps falling behind no matter how hard they work.
Happy Labor Day to all of our incredible volunteers, staff, sanitation workers, farriers, vets, building & maintenance folks, and all the rest of the hard workers who keep this place running. None of this would exist without you! 🥹
Good morning blue sky friends, it's a brand new day!
If all the documents were released, all the records, all the interviews, if every shred of paper written on the Epstein sex trafficking operation were released tomorrow, there would still be horrific things we’ll never know. Think about that.
Wow! I have observed this in the Border Patrol but not been able to break it down like this. 1/2

Good night 🌙
Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:

Okay, here's what I know and don't know* about the planes that were supposed to take children to Guatemala today. *None of this flight tracking would be necessary if ICE Air didn't keep its operation secret and if Drew Ensign didn't talk to the court in riddles. 1/

On Friday night, a man was actually arrested for leaving chalk footprints at the memorial. A judge later threw out the charges for lack of probable cause, the state is deploying police to prevent grieving communities from drawing rainbows in chalk.
FDOT crews wash away chalk memorials as soon as they appear. Police presence has been constant. What was once a symbol of love and remembrance is now patrolled and erased.
I just want to show you how chestnut trees in Kyiv are meeting autumn. The “boys” have grown up.

I suspect the next wave of city takeovers will begin right before the Epstein survivors' presser on Wednesday. I know, I'm very cynical...

Saddened to hear of the passing of Dr. Rossiter, who told the stories of the many forgotten and underappreciated women of science. Like many women of her generation, she survived academia by developing a tough exterior, but her support for jr women, myself included, was unwavering. RIP, Margaret.
NEWS: Walgreens just got taken over by private equity. Private equity has a record of running companies into the ground. Walgreens could be the latest victim: closing more stores, service plummeting, workers losing their jobs, and eventually bankruptcy.

DOGE isn't fighting fraud — it's potentially exposing Americans to more of it. And now a Social Security Administration whistleblower is resigning after apparently being punished for trying to warn the public. Nothing about this fake government agency is "efficient."
Lets remember that we were abandoned by law firms, news companies, tech companies, corporations, universities, and the Republican electeds. All the dominoes fell - in self interest-- and left us to fend for ourselves.

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.
A federal judge has ordered Florida to shut down "Alligator Alcatraz," after the state spent a staggering $218M to build the now-vacant detention camp. Closing it will run taxpayers another $20M. An utterly cruel and costly waste.

APS Fellow @lewan.bsky.social & colleagues have recently developed the Anti-Autocracy Handbook, which they describe as “a call to action, resilience, and collective defense of democracy, truth, and academic freedom in the face of mounting authoritarianism.”
Trump just declared “Overdose Prevention Week.” But behind the scenes, his team is withholding $140 million Congress already set aside to fight fentanyl overdoses. Programs are being forced to pause. Lives are at stake. youtu.be/RFW-OlmAgDE

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

The gun belonged to John William "J.W." Milam, who, alongside Roy Bryant, abducted Till from his great-uncle's home on Aug. 28, 1955. The white men tortured and killed Till after the teenager was accused of whistling at Bryant’s white wife, Carolyn Bryant, in a rural Mississippi grocery store.
