Experts Decry US 'Summary Execution' of Alleged Drug Runners Off Venezuelan Coast www.commondreams.org/news/trump-a...
💯👍🏽
I just watched the entire press conference. I believe the women. I believe the survivors. Release the Epstein files.
Trump has the gall to call signing for the release of the Epstein files a “hostile act?!!” NO!!! What happened to those girls/women was a HOSTILE ACT! Enough! 1/2
🚨BREAKING: Cleta Mitchell thinks President Donald Trump may declare a national emergency to allow him to take control of national elections. Her comments will add to growing concern that Trump is plotting a way to use his power over the military and federal law enforcement to rig next year’s vote.

Putting military lawyers in charge of immigration courts is problematic—and “unlawful”
More than 85 scientists say that a recent U.S. Department of Energy report is full of errors and misrepresents climate science.
Vance follows a coterie of online Nazis on X, has described Curtis Yarvin as a major intellectual influence, and openly attacks immigrants in blood and soil terms. The response of most of the political press? "Doesn't look like anything to me."
The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.
Bloomberg: "US factory activity shrank in August for a sixth straight month, driven by a pullback in production that shows manufacturing remains bogged down by higher import duties." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
The special section from our 50th anniversary issue, The Responsibility of Intellectuals in the Age of Fascism and Genocide, is now online. Robin D. G. Kelley revisits Noam Chomsky’s classic argument, with @dwaldstreicher.bsky.social, Jennifer Zacharia, and @martinoneill.bsky.social.
Breaking News: Saying the CDC has become “a political tool,” California, Oregon and Washington announced plans to form an alliance that would coordinate vaccine recommendations for the three states.
One emerging strategy from the Trump admin is an attempt to politically marginalize "blue" states by crushing their strengths: 1. Deny research universities any funding, 2. Cut off access to trade & immigrant labor, 3. Make life in major cities unbearable with occupation. Vicious, nasty politics.

As many as 100 survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and other victims of sexual abuse are expected to attend a rally Wednesday in Washington, D.C. as a bipartisan Congressional effort gains steam to force the U.S. Department of Justice to make public its controversial files on the disgraced sex trafficker.
On Labor Day, we honor the workers who keep our communities moving forward. From fair wages to safe workplaces, I will keep fighting to make sure every worker gets the dignity and respect they deserve.
This will obviously not sit well with Trump. It was his disastrous, fucked up foreign policies that made this happen.
FEDERAL AGENTS TAKE NOTE… It’s not just Chicago standing strong. Other blue cities and governors are ready to unite against Trump’s federal invasion. I’m not an attorney, but this point seems huge: if federal agents break state or city laws, they can prosecuted. And Trump cannot pardon them.
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

Pritzker: "We don't want troops on the streets of American cities. That's un-American and frankly the president ought to know better. This one doesn't seem to. He hasn't read any books. He doesn't seem to understand the Constitution or the laws."

DC PD using some sort of facial scanning software on people they illegally stop during the federal occupation of Washington DC
O'Keefe to Noem: "At least 20 people who signed this letter were current FEMA employees & they've been placed on administrative leave. Is it now the policy of DHS that anytime an employee puts their name on something criticizing you or POTUS, they should anticipate being put on leave or fired?"
A reminder that just of couple of then nominally Democratic Senators stood resolutely in the way of DC becoming a state and bolstering the Voting Rights Act. The cost of that stonewalling was catastrophic.
