Some of are super responders and have some fairly intense reactions to the Pfizer and Moderna.
The federal government is about to wage a campaign of terror against any blue city or state using a domestic army of red state National Guard members. This should be seen as a declaration of war against the country and people cannot continue going on like normal.
Clearly this is not intended to bolster the creation of a police state. Completely unrelated: John Boltonās home and office were raided this morning by the FBI.
Yes. Collapsing all fed law enforcement into one undifferentiated, untrained, masked force. "Agents said they worried the changes would transform the FBI from an investigative agency focused on national security into something more akin to a federal police force..." www.nytimes.com/2025/08/21/u...
"The Israeli army confirmed the existence of the database, which is managed by the Military Intelligence Directorate (known by the Hebrew acronym 'Aman'). ...
Well, now I gotta play this, too.

Keep on grifting, uh, drifting.
Itās what we all expect. Either she says Trump wasnāt involved, or she has an accident.
She's been credibly accused of taking part in the assaults, not simply helping Epstein procure children... so of course she'll get a pardon if she testifies. It's interesting that an immunity deal is even an issue. Seems more likely that she doesn't want to follow in the spandau ballet her boss took
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "He's caught red handed. He's in the files. We know it. Period. He's part of this cover up... You reap what you sow. He created this. He weaponized it. He's done it from the birth certificate on down... Too cute by half, and now he's caught."
So, she says Trump is āinnocentā and she gets a pardon. Is that how this goes?
A horrifying statement published today by the Editorial Committee of the Agence France-Presse (AFP) news agency. "Without immediate intervention, the last reporters in Gaza will die" Translation from French to English by @cnorristrent.bsky.social:
If my taxes donāt pave my roads or fix my bridges or keep my schools open 5 days a week or pay local teachers a living wage or help keep my hospital open or help my neighborās kid eat lunch or fund public television or my healthcareā¦ Why the fāck should I pay taxes?
Do not capitulate. Carry on and make the most of the discovery process because you know that man likes to brag.
Neguse: Only in Washington, D.C. could politicians come to the floor and brag about cutting $9 billion from rural radio stations while two weeks ago they voted to increase the deficit by $4 trillion. Spare us these lectures.
#epsteinfiles #investigate #releasethefiles
In case anyone has friends and family still denying the Epstein link to Trump, this is the memo from Bondi to Patel less than five months ago. Hereās the official link: www.justice.gov/ag/media/139... When they remember to take that down, use the Wayback Machine to keep it in the spotlight.
Crockett: Earlier someone was talking about cities being hellholes. Los Angeles contributes almost 20 billion in taxes. Thatās more than all states in this country except for four.
NEW: Metadata from the ārawā Epstein prison video shows approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds were removed from one of two stitched-together clips. The cut starts right at the āmissing minute.ā
Theyāre eating the files, theyāre eating the flight logs, theyāre eating the list. š
Some magnificent bastard did this.
We need to call this chain link Florida abomination what it is: a death camp. We cannot call it what the monsters who made it want us to call it. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/call-it-wh...
No one should be good with this.
An unusual sight: President Trump is getting ratioād on Truth Social for asking his followers to move on from the Epstein files. Some say heās āgaslighting,ā others say it will cost him supporters or even ākill MAGA.ā A sampling of some replies getting heavy engagement.
There are two kinds of people in America now: People who reject fascism and people who actively support Nazis. There is no middle.
A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."
It's getting bad, and we all know what's coming. For those of you are resisting, there are some points here:
Jasmine Crockett because she is the frustrated voice of all of us, and her brilliance and tenacity are unparalleled. Pete Buttigieg for his measured, quiet take downs that always cut through to the bigger issues. And, of course, Fetterman for reminding us that we all vote for assholes sometimes.
At a doctorās office ā with no warrants, masked, no ID š³ What are we doing? šŗšø
Oof.
We not gonna talk about the gestapo practicing in Los Angeles and Trump telling people he's looking for a federal takeover of DC and NY? abcnews.go.com/Politics/tru...
It's not even cutsie when people examine it. This is a nod to the fucked up, racist "gator bait" trope. jimcrowmuseum.ferris.edu/question/201...
Remember Trump's telling pause when he was asked if he would declassify the Epstein files?
This is a soft TACO
The first group of immigrants has arrived at a new ācampā deep in the Florida Everglades, where officials are openly describing it as āconcentratingā certain people in one area. Have you seen the photos of the flooding? This entire site is a human rights violation.
Hell, they could even just take care of veterans and do right by them and eliminate about 12% of the homelessness problem. Sadly, they havenāt figured out how to grift that.
Republicans just funded a gestapo.
So do I.
The cause of all your money problems. Please share #laloalcaraz cartoons! And stop the bill!
Chris Murphy: "This is the most deeply immoral piece of legislation I have ever voted on in my entire time in Congress."
Wanted: Tuba player to follow this asshat around on every vacation until he resigns.
This. We all know strokes can cause severe personality and cognitive changes. It seems like voters should have a way to remove him since heās clearly unwell.
āICE gets a bigger budget than the Marine Corpsā is a simple fact that should be communicated very widely because it clearly expresses how crazy and radical this is
Grifters gotta grift
It's okay, y'all. A 22 year old grocery worker is on top of it.
If you're ever starting to feel like everything is going to shit, this will get you over the edge:
Itās a good thing Congress isnāt alive to see this
Needs more eyeliner
If youāve got a badge and a gun but think your actions are shameful enough to need a mask, you should quit.
So now there may be a war because #TrumpleThinSkin couldn't stand an Obama success?
Seems like we should all be calling 911 about these armed thugs harassing people
Wouldn't is be so much better if people who read were actually in charge?
Integrity.
Let me translate: I need money soon. Please rich people, I helped you with your untraceable money. Now you make me not a poor, please?
My kid's not this well-behaved off leash.
Look at the blatant gangs in LAPD and LA County Sheriffs with matching tattoos and the equivalent of Klan parties. That report was like a pledge drive for racists.
āICE agents have to wear masks and no uniform because they have become so deeply unpopular that itās safer to appear to be a vigilante kidnapperā is a hell of an argument
The Republicans who run one of Texasā biggest counties have recruited the national GOPās top map-drawer, as well as a leading Washington D.C.-based voter suppression group, to ram through a new gerrymander that aims to expand their majority. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/top...
The problem is, they'll think this is a flex.
I wrote this four days ago. Today, they arrested the NYC Comptroller.

Nice. There's one not far from me, but I've never tried it. If they have hot chicken, I'm in.
Either they're dumber than we thought, or someone programming this shit show needs a high five.
Reminder to the US Marines in Los Angeles: It is unlawful to obey a unlawful order.

Mad respect for making his hands a little bigger than they actually are.
Water. Sunscreen. Leather palmed gloves (because oc canisters are hot.) Delete facial recognition unlock on your phone. Resist in the ways you feel safe. Every one counts. Solidarity.

I get the urge to say fuck this guy, but the thing about metanoia is that if we want people to change, we have to let them. If we want this world to change, we have to be willing to let people be better.
SCOOP: Details about Saturdayās āNo Kingsā protest are under watch by domestic intelligence centers, where analysts regularly distribute speculative threat assessments among federal, state, and local agencies, according to an internal alert obtained by WIRED. UNPAYWALLED:
So... we're on the verge of WWIII, and Mango Mussolini got a shit ton of our Army all bunched up near the eastern seaboard for his birthday circle jerk. What could go wrong?
This is the most dystopian thing I've ever seen. Trump is becoming a dictator, full stop, and Republicans can't be bothered to care.
Congratulations. You look radiant. Absolutely radiant.
They needed to say the quiet part out loud to keep BillyBob PickupTruck from taking a break from his cousin lovin' long enough to complain about "those people" taking over the music they rightfully stole from "those people." Beyonce deserves her own category, but not for the reasons they think.
Itās important to remember that Hitler claimed he was āliberating,ā too.
ICE has essentially become a terror group of lawlessness in the USA. They must be abolished.
Padilla is California's good U.S. senator.
Iām sure itās a coincidence that all of the Hunger Games films are now in the top 10 streaming on the HBO platform
BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.
This one is debunked. I know itās in a book, but itās most certainly not true. Besides, thereās a huge difference between firefighters and the badge-shielded gestapo weāre seeing here. www.nytimes.com/2003/03/23/n...
This was the plan all along.
Fired, along with the military judges. This was the intention from the start.
A stiff bristle brush to scrap the residue out of the crevices and off as much surface as you can makes it easier, too.
"Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. Women return from shopping to find their houses sealed, their families gone." But this isn't just a quote. It was her life. It was the life and the end of millions. And if you see the pattern, it's time to do more.
"At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Theyāre allowed to take only a knapsack and a little cash with them, and even then, theyāre robbed of these possessions on the way. Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. 7/
We know where this can lead. We've been told. We have records from voices of those who lived it. And we owe it to them to resist. One Anne Frank's quote is circulating now: āTerrible things are happening outside. 6/
Most of all, it's about recognizing patterns and understanding that the road to the Holocaust wasn't a quick drop over a cliff. It was long and filled with small injustices aimed at marginalized groups based on the (correct) assumption that the majority would not object if it didn't affect them. 5/
It's about understanding morality. It's about being willing to say something is wrong, even if it seems like everyone around you agrees with the part you object to. After all, we remember this guy rather fondly now: 4/
But too many people don't realize that the phrases "history repeats itself" and "never again" require active participation on our part. It's not about looking for a little guy that looks like Charlie Chaplin and speaks with a funny accent. 3/
the way he blamed Jews for Germany's problems and defeats. We read about people who had suffered in the concentration camps. We thought about our grandparents who fought abroad and worked hard at home to defeat the Nazis as heroes. 2/
Education and critical thinking matter. Read to your kids, folks. Read books. Develop empathy and the ability to analyze situations. Many of us grew up reading and learning about the Holocaust. We were told about the slow build up in Germany; the way Hitler was elected; 1/
ABC News fired reporter Terry Moran for criticizing Stephen Miller and Donald Trump, proving once again that corporate media is rudderless, cowardly and utterly complicit in enabling fascism.
