Russia’s Espionage War in the Arctic www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
Yep, Russia does that. The New Yorker had a fascinating story about it a while back.
🚨 “The people united will never be divided!” Happening in OUR nation’s capital today. 1/2
POPE LEO: “Let us plead God to stop the pandemic of arms, large and small, which infects our world.” He prays for the victims in Minneapolis, and “the countless children killed and injured every day around the world”
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
Fatality.
HAPPENING NOW: Judge Sparkle Sooknanan holds an emergency hearing as the Trump admin is reportedly trying—imminently—to deport hundreds of Guatemalan children without required process or access to representation. www.courtlistener.com/docket/71240...
New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them. States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.
40% of Missourians vote for Democrats, and this is the Congressional map the Republicans are pushing for.
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."
California stepping up.
We ALL need to be in the streets! Join the nationwide peaceful protest on Labor Day. Find an event here: Mobilize.us #resist
This is so dangerous. They eliminated the requirement for a degree and lowered the minimum age to 18. They are offering $50k bonus & loan forgiveness, all in an effort to swell the ranks. They use Oath Keeper verbiage to describe troops responding to protests. #resist while you can! Mobilize.us
So any of you aspiring brownshirts, come on down! Just be ready for the night of the long knives. And for the revulsion of any decent people that know your sorry ass.
The 5-day economic and labor blackout will start Sept. 16 and end Sept. 20. If people can only participate one day, organizers ask that it be on Sept. 17, Constitution Day. www.usatoday.com/story/news/2...
There's another nationwide peaceful protest on Labor Day. You can find one near you here: Mobilize.us #resist
Yes. Peaceful protest in numbers large enough HAS overthrown authoritarian governments (despite the "you have to be violent!" claims made by some accounts/bots). Don't offer an excuse for martial law to be imposed--we don't HAVE to, so why should we do what he wants? www.bbc.com/future/artic...
The CDC is gutting a program that monitors foodborne illnesses. The program will now only track infections caused by two pathogens, rather than eight. Hello? How does this “Make America Healthy Again”?
Yes! Support workers this Labor Day. Join the nationwide peaceful protest "Workers Over Billionaires" September 1st. Find one near you: Mobilize.us
The population still needs to rise up in peaceful protest. Massive demonstrations give the opposition leaders legitimacy and motivation. In turn, that motivates the population. Can't wait for any one agency to save the day. We ALL need to unite in resistance.
History shows that peaceful movements attract more participants. More participants means more resistance. More resistance (3.5% of the country) leads to an ungovernable population, which leads to regime change. It's not easy, nor guaranteed, but it's more successful than violent movements.
‼️Workers Over Billionaires‼️ 📢Nationwide protest this Labor Day. Are you ready? Let's see your signs! #resist www.newsweek.com/map-list-cit...

I second this! Make your Epstein signs and show up to a nationwide protest near you on Monday, Sept 1st (Labor Day). Find an event here: Mobilize.us
Don’t let up. Phone calls get logged and have impact (more so than emails). Snail mail also is effective, but we want to see this en masse! We ALL need to be loud & tenacious.
It's always a great idea to let your DC reps know what's on your mind. Especially if you have Republican reps. 📢 Make noise! ☎️ 202-224-3121 Capitol switchboard
FOX: *plays clip of Gavin Newsom pointing out that crime is higher in Louisiana than in California* FOX: Your response? MIKE JOHNSON: He needs to go an govern his state and not be engaging in this

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.
Add a few hobbies to your life! 📢 Protesting can be joyful and community building. Making the signs for the protest is a therapeutic craft. Join us in the streets for the nationwide peaceful protest this Labor Day, Sept 1st. You can find an event near you here: Mobilize.us
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.
We are organizing. Join us. A nationwide peaceful protest is scheduled for this coming Monday. Labor Day, Sept 1st. Find an event near you. Mobilize.us
I can't even screenshot it--the entire letter is worth a full read. And I will say it again--our state public health agencies really need to step up now & fight against RFKJ's harmful extremist policies: open.substack.com/pub/simonwdc...
So much for The Art of the Deal. Weeks after Trump’s failed meeting with Putin, Russia continues to escalate its brutal attacks on Ukraine. Trump is getting conned and played by Putin — and the Ukrainian people are paying the price.

Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve on the Minnesota shooting: "The sad thing is we can't sit here and tell them that help is on the way. Because we're not going to do a damn thing about it."
If someone tells you there's nothing we can do about gun violence beyond thoughts and prayers, remind them: —Gun laws in other countries have prevented mass shootings —More guns don't make us safer —A majority of Americans want gun reform We don't have to live like this.
I couldn't agree more.
Tonight I am mourning the children who died, those who were injured, everyone who has been affected by the shooting in Minneapolis, and all of the school shooting survivors in America. Guns are tools, built to hurt and kill. They should be regulated.
Yes! Yes! Yes! This is how you lead to protect.
Sen Patty Murray (D-WA): “If there are any adults left in the White House, it’s well past time they face reality… We cannot let RFK Jr. burn what’s left of the CDC and our other critical health agencies to the ground—he must be fired.”
It’s outrageous that Sec. Kennedy is trying to fire the CDC Director — after only a few weeks on the job — for her commitment to public health & vaccines. The Sen. HELP Committee must hold a hearing with Kennedy & the CDC Director as soon as possible. Vaccines save lives. Period.
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.
Schools Theaters Concerts Malls Churches Synagogues Mosques Parks Nightclubs Offices Festivals Stores Military Bases Bars Post Offices Yoga Studios Super Bowl parades Nowhere is safe from the scourge of gun violence in America. You can't tell me we must simply accept it.
More good news from Democracy Docket.
I'm tired of this theater where Donald Trump asks Republicans to do something, they seem to push bank and then cave. The only two factions of the current GOP are proud MAGA and scared MAGA. Anyone who thinks Republicans are acting in good faith is delusional.
#ktla
A major news station in Los Angeles is reporting the president's words without countering his false statements. Isn't this called propaganda??? Do better @ktla.com
An absolute fucking disaster‼️
📌We are now 24 hours into learning Trump's DOGE potentially put 300 MILLION people's private information at risk -- or worse, made this information available to bad actors, for profit. 📌Why -- WHY GODDAMMIT -- isn't this getting the attention it deserves? 📌WE ARE AT RISK FROM OUR GOVERNMENT.
The recently changed immunization schedule threatens lives... Speak up, people! Stand up for science! Stand up for democracy! ☎️ Call your reps in DC 202-224-3121 📢 Join in the nationwide peaceful protest on Sept 1st! Mobilize.us
Frey: And don't just say, this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school. They were in a church.
Here's what the third day of elementary school looked like in Mount Pleasant, Washington DC.
Here’s the straight dope:
The shooter at Annunciation Catholic School used an assault weapon to fire dozens of rounds through the stained glass windows of the school’s church—killing two children and wounding 17 others, including 14 children.
Some FEMA staff are put on leave after signing dissent letter www.yahoo.com/news/article...

AMERICA: “It’s a mental health issue.” REST OF THE WORLD: “We have those. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA: “It’s video games.” WORLD: “We have those too. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA B: “It’s cause they took Jesus out of the classroom.” WORLD: “God, you’re stupid.”
I just sent a message urging my Congressional lawmakers to support the GOSAFE Act, which would regulate deadly assault weapons. There's no more time for inaction. Join me in urging your lawmakers to pass this life-saving bill: etwn.us/4j3bsqQ @Everytown

My brothers and sisters in Christ, what the hell are we doing here by biting our tongues in the face of unpopular, despotic oppression? It must be confronted head on.
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.
"The US is the only country in the world that politically tolerates and legally ensures the routine mass slaughter of its own citizens." 👆 Read that a few times. Then read it again. And again. Is THIS the one? The one where they say enough? "Politically tolerates and legally ensures." 💔💔💔
Can we all do each other (and the world) a huge favor? Can we all meet in the streets for the next nationwide peaceful protest on Sept 1st?! Find an event near you here: Mobilize.us We need massive numbers to send a massive message. #resist
The New York Post was putting out a story about the raid, yet they had no one there at the raid. Who handed them the details?
My heart is with the students, families, and community of Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. No child should ever face gunfire in a place meant for learning and growth. We must come together to end the epidemic of gun violence. www.cnn.com/us/live-news...
Only recruiting sadistic racist & now little training ICE takes bold steps to increase the civil rights violations, excessive force, disregard for law. ICE training will be reduced from 5 months to 47 days. It's going to be their legal defense. They didn't know www.thedailybeast.com/ice-slashes-...
Like sandwich guy, I really appreciate when people use white privilege for good
So the sandwich guy ... beat the wrap
👇👇
In honor of sandwich guy getting out of his legal pickle, here is the original video synced with Freedom - George Michael 1990.
@ktla.com, you ran a "story" about National Guard deployment to DC & potentially to blue cities. You played video of the president talking about crime, how he saved LA & the Olympics. You quoted his claims of success. Where were the crime FACTS? Real crime stats? Why were his claims not challenged?
Jesus Christ. If your credit isn’t frozen at all three bureaus, I would strongly consider doing that now
It’s been 105 years since the certification of the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote. Today, we must recommit to protecting the right to vote and pushing back against efforts to disenfranchise Americans by passing the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.
Aren't there theories being floated that if the dollar tanks, the regime can cash in on crypto? Might just be a conspiracy theory, but it does seem as if there is intentional manipulation of the most evil sort. You know my suggestion. Join the nationwide protest on Sept. 1st. #resist Mobilize.us
Moore posted "LOL" in response to the lie.
Let's lead them to the streets. Nationwide peaceful protest this Labor Day, Sept 1st. Workers over billionaires. #resist Find an event here: Mobilize.us
Moving in the right direction.
I remember when this happened.
Krasner: So, if what you have is a group of ICE agents, or even the military, coming into Philadelphia and committing crimes—assaults that are illegal, kidnapping, unlawful restraint, obstruction of the administration of justice—they can be prosecuted.
It’s official. September 6th. From all across this nation. We march in D.C. Join us.
Exactly! Who gives a 💩?!
me: he's moving federal troops into where now MSM: pumpkin spice latte is back
Is this that same Pulte that builds residential homes? The Pulte Group?
Reminder, going forward this is the only messaging we need: "This is what he said he would do." "We warned you." "Actually this IS what you voted for."
Amen, sister! Link arms and head to the streets! See you at the nationwide peaceful protest on September 1st! 📢 Find an event near you here: Mobilize.us #resist
Great news!!! Remember, in this time of crisis, look for the heroes. Today, mine is Democracy Docket. #resist @democracydocket.com
Good insight into the MAGA mind and the targeting of "others" to include US born citizens. Please read, then push back. These fake patriots need to understand that they don't own the flag and they don't get to decide who qualifies as American enough. #resist @50501movement.bsky.social
Great article. Thanks for the terribly concerning (not surprising) insight. Here's what we do next. 📢 We let MAGA know, loud & clear, that American is indeed the melting pot. We will shove their "culture" views under the rock they came from (or elsewhere). Nationwide protest Sept 1st. Mobilize.us
This is how you stand up to bullies and aspiring tyrants.
In an urgent letter to Congress, more than 180 current and former FEMA workers wrote to “sound the alarm” about the Trump administration’s cuts, warning that they have obstructed officials’ ability to respond to and protect the public from natural disasters.
California voters are leaning YES on the redistricting ballot. 48% in favor, only 32% opposed. People get it. The narrative is on our side. Remember: CA puts it to the voters. Texas skipped the people. Ours is a one-time fightback that returns to the commission. Texas’ gerrymandering is permanent.
Timeline cleanser. 0:53 to 1:38 is pure, undiluted joy.
The US President has ordered the creation of ”specialized” military units to “quell civil disturbances” in all 50 of our states. Military units under his personal control. Deployed across our homeland, in peacetime. Little time is left to stop this insanity.
