This is despicable.
Texas AG Partizan Attack On Beto Ken Paxton threatens to arrest Beto O'Rourke for fighting the illegal gerrymander of five congressional seats. Speech is no longer Free in Texas! open.substack.com/pub/betoorou...
A minute of peace from my paddle on Lake Winnipeg this morning. It was nice to get up before my neighbours and enjoy the lake before it got wavy. I hope you find it as soothing as I do.
Feel FREE to Re-post. ;)
Who had rabies on the rise, on their 2025 bingo card? JFC, IF you get your animals NO other vaccine, get the rabies vax. I can't believe I have to say this.🙄
🚨 “The people united will never be divided!” Happening in OUR nation’s capital today. 1/2
I am #Canadian and I support this message. We must take back our media.
CEOs are trying to convince you that quiet quitting is worse than wage theft, while they plan on replacing you with a robot. Unions know better. Happy Labor Day Weekend.
Unions helped build the middle class! Union busting has whittled away at the middle class. Time to stop voting for those who don’t support unions.
He can pretend to be dead all he wants. I still want the Epstein files released.
There’s a special place in hell for morons who get millions of people killed.
Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
And it’s time to get real about the damage #Reagan caused. Stop buying they lie that he was a great president. #FDR was a great president. Reagan was not.
Hey! Just icymi: FEMA is now evicting THOUSANDS of Hurricane Helene survivors Our government hates us. And millions voted for this degree of brutality and cruelty. Why?
The President of Portugal Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa called the orange felon a Russian asset in a live televised speech. Well done, this is how you do it. 👏
Yes please and the rest of the rats follow suit.
If we will never be a Socialist [sic] or Communist [sic] Country [sic], then why are you giving billions of dollars to farmers to make up for losses from your stupid tariffs (SOCIALISM) and having the US government own part of Intel (COMMUNISM)?
Don’t touch it! Knowing when a work is finished makes a great work of art. I love this as is.
We are all the CDC this week. My weekend Substack community issue. Check it out and, if you’re interested, consider joining our Social Contract Community. Thanks.👇 open.substack.com/pub/socialco...
HERES WHAT YOU GET AMERICA. Because you don’t change it. DERISION. THE REST OF THE WORLD GETS TONS OF VACATION. WE GET A JOKE. NOTHING MORE FROM OUR LEADERS. WE PAY THEIR SALARIES. WHY SO WE PUT UP WITH THIS? REVOLUTION 🔥🔥🔥🔥🐦🔥🐦🔥🐦🔥🐦🔥
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:
It has alway, always been a lie!!
He was a better president than people gave him credit for being. It was a great disservice to him.
#JimmyCarter was stronger than he was ever given credit for being. He and his team suffered and risked their lives to prevent a massive nuclear disaster. He was a hero. He never blustered or bragged.
Reminder: Most mass shootings are carried out by cisgender men.
I didn’t know it but now I need a baby donkey 😂💗
Thank you! This is exquisite.
Ghislaine Maxwell's deposition was not under oath. She was not video taped, which is very unusual for a deposition. And there are many cuts where they stopped the audio tapes so lawyers could confer with her off-the-record. None of that stuff is the way you do a deposition.
What is happening in America under #Republican rule is scarier than anything Stephen King has published.
She’s insane. Send her to the Sarah Palin camp for whack jobs. Never to be heard of again.
😆
Oh, Andy Borowitz. What a gem you are.
All of Congress should be fighting #Trump on this. It’s an outrage.
California stepping up.
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
He raped young girls and he's going to die without suffering any consequences for it whatsoever. This is the problem with great concentrations of wealth.
We live on native land.
IT’S ALL NATIVE LAND!
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
My thoughts exactly.
I don’t believe #Trump even wrote that.
And Americans fell for it.
He disappeared for 10 days last year, after the Epstein docs were released, then held a rally in which he staged a mock assassination (with photo ops and 2 dead people) to divert attention from Epstein. So get out the popcorn.
When #Trump is gone there’s still #JDVance and the entire #Republican collaborating Congress to deal with.
MAGA Congress, JD Vance and the heinous traitors otherwise known as oligarchs and the architects of Project 2025 will do anything to keep a dead man walking in the WH until they steal the 2026 and 2028 elections.
My mother spoke less and less as her dementia progressed.
I love #StrangeNewWorlds but I am tired of them throwing women at Spock to what one sticks. Enough already.
Star Trek Strange New Worlds Four and Half Vulcans was great 🖖
Here's some good news: Catelin Drey won a special election this week to flip a seat blue in the Iowa Senate and break Republicans' supermajority.
Apparently it's a whole lot safer to go to school in Afghanistan than it is in the United States.
The newly ousted director of the CDC refused to fire top agency leaders or approve changes to vaccines from RFK Jr.’s hand-picked panel of advisers.
The Alligator Alcatraz stunt, which only existed for a few weeks, is now closed. We paid $400 million for this nonsense. We could have housed 26,000 homeless people for a year with that amount of money.
Never before in our history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many of us, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next. This is what dictatorship looks like.
#RFKjr is a whack job.
Man whose cylinders are not all firing can look at kids and see "mitochondrial challenges."
This is so clearly wrong — and it helps explain why Trump’s approval numbers are in the toilet. Anyone who thinks this young woman deserved to be treated this way can go fuck themselves.
Psaki: I felt a mixture of anger—a lot of anger—and emotional exhaustion about this today, as I’m sure many of you have, because we have been here so many times. And yet again, like clockwork, half the politicians in our country have little more to offer than thoughts and prayers.
It’s continues to be despicable how the media has spent a decade normalizing the orange felon so much so that they are reporting on his authoritarian militarization of Washington DC as if it were a routine military exercise. They deliberately failed democracy for clickbait.
What you missed overnight night.🥳 Utah's gerrymandered congressional map was struck down. The judge reinstated the citizen-led redistricting reforms voters approved in 2018. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Americans should be shutting down the country with their protests. They’re being betrayed. It’s a fascist coup.
Keep it up! Shame every fascist collaborator.
Whew! Sen. Susan Collins should be “very concerned” She showed up as the main guest at a ribbon-cutting in Searsport, Maine. It backfired. The crowd was not happy to have her: “Shame. Shame. Shame.”
Well…that and losing a world war.
Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein could not have sold women and girls for sex without wealthy men buying women and girls for sex. I feel like more people should mention that.
Arnold is being an ass.
Schwarzenegger is a Republican. Never forget what Republicans are.
#ChrisPratt is a callous, uninformed buffoon.
Arnold is being an A$$hole to go up against CA gerrymandering, but not Texas. And so is his Son-in-Law Chris Pratt, who has been praising RFK Jr.
But the nightmare won’t end when he is gone. You still have a collaborating and complicit #Republican party at every level of government.
I no longer care about him going to prison I just want him gone period 🤗🤗👇
And Blue States have been carrying those same Red States for years.
Technically the Civil War didn't end when General Lee surrendered to General Grant it was a cease fire. As Red state governors eagerly offer up there states National Guard to enter Blue states. We clearly see who would support Slavery today.
I deeply resent having to defend John Bolton but “the president sends his goons on a fishing expedition to raid anyone who criticizes him” is in fact very alarming
🔥 STEWART: “This is the lie they tell you — that all this money flowing towards corporate interests is actually for YOUR benefit…. That government intervention for corporations is our ‘FREE MARKET’, but government intervention for workers is ‘SOCIALISM’.
I think the World Cup should seriously reconsider having their event in the USA.
Trump threatens and then EXTORTS Intel for 10% ownership. Nothing to see here
Hey if people who love cracker barrel like it because of the mom and pop feel how about checking out real mom and pop places in their state that serve actual home cooked meals. help small businesses not a giant corporation
Did you know that it was #CapeBreton #NovaScotia #Canada that brought the Bald Eagle back from endangered status in the US with their conservation measures. Link: capebreton.lokol.me/cape-breton-... Video credit to Roads To Sea - video taken at Marble Mountain lookoff /1 thread
And #Trump made lead bullets legal again and put endangers birds all over again.
These disgusting #Republican #Trump bootlicking fascists will just arrest people and send them to their for profit private prisons and make them slaves. It’s what is happening right now and it will be expanded. This government must fall.
Slavery. Wrote a song about it. Wanna hear it? Here it goes. IT WAS BAD, YOU DUMB FUCKS.
They’ve been training us for generations.
See how this works?
Virginia Giuffre’s lawyer Sigrid McCawley reacts to the Maxwell transcripts, saying Maxwell “repeatedly and brazenly lied” to the government and is trying to “recreate history.” Full statement
This 👇🏾 “Why do they need masks? They’re federal officials, they’re paid by the taxpayers. They should be doing their jobs in a way that’s lawful and constitutional, and that’s part of the job.” DC Mayor Bowser questions why so many federal officers in the capital continue to cover their faces.
The issue isn’t that Maxwell lied throughout her entire proffer. She has been lying, deceiving and manipulating people her entire life. I expect it from her. The issue is that the US Department of Justice gave her very tangible benefits already for those lies with more to come.
This is so important… Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles. In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected. REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency. @governor.ca.gov 🧵
Can we just get through this gerrymandering shit first, before we start to give our opinions on whether or not Governor Gavin Newsom would be a great or terrible candidate for president?! pleeeeease?
If you’re a convicted felon and your character witness is your dear old friend, the convicted child sex trafficker and enabler of your other dear old friend, the most notorious raper of children in modern history, you’re definitely a total piece of shit.
💯
The people who reflexively say that everything happening in the news every day is just a distraction from the Epstein files are allowing themselves to get distracted by the Epstein files from many other things that are incredibly important also.
