It's less than two years. The #midterms are nigh. But the #DarkMaga policy of the GOP, the oligarchs (e.g. Peter Thiel) and the trolling felon in the WH looks like a preparation for rigging the midterm elections.

The Guardian, Sat 6 Sep 2025 07.00 EDT "Rightwing conference reveals muddled lines between Trump and far right National Conservatism event draws in far-right publishers, members of men-only secret societies – and Trump officials" www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
“Numbers always tend to benefit the Left,” is an obviously insane sentence that belongs only in a Lewis Carroll novel, and not in the mouth of any elected representative.
Robert’s is politicized in the first place.
omg it's finally happening occasionally former judges speak out about the Supreme Court but I have long wished current judges would do so a sitting judge saying it is "inexcusable" that "sweeping rulings arrive with breathtaking speed but minimal explanation" feels like an important door opening
Truth.
Secretary Chris Wright obviously is incompetent. That's no surprise, because that is a requirement if you want to work in the Trump administration. But the unit TWh/day is not energy (as the reader added context wrongly says). It's power (P*t/t=P).
Don’t worry. Colbert doesn’t have to search for a job. He’ll get enough job offers. Or he even will run his own business.
I blocked @dystopian-fashion.bsky.social too.
Respected by the GOP, the methods of: Vladimir Putin, Xi JinPing, Kim JongUn, Donald Trump (JD Vance will be worse), etc.

It's terrible. But it's not Trump. It's the GOP. That evil organization uses Trump to do the dirty work for them, so that they (and Vance) cannot be hold responsible. Everything Trump does needs to be attributed to the GOP. He does it with their consent and in their (and Peter Thiel's) behalf.

Our slide into authoritarian rule would not be possible without Trump's willing accomplices. William Pulte's corruption of the bureaucracy to single out the mortgages of Trump foes like Lisa Cook for "investigation" is the perfect example of this. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1996...
@schwarzenegger.bsky.social, you know that gerrymandering isn't the only problem in the USA. Voting should be as comfortable in the USA as it is in Austria and a few other European countries. The democracy in the USA was already flawed before Trump started to damage it even more.
Schwarzenegger's project isn't really bipartisan. He has to make sure that he doesn't get a credibility issue. @schwarzenegger.bsky.social, bitte achten Sie darauf, dass sie kein Glaubwürdigkeitsproblem bekommen. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/au...
"DeSantis said in response to Smith's video, "We will not allow our state roads to be commandeered for political purposes" He then got into his car and drove off on the Ronald Reagan Freeway

I know we've become inured to it because this is now our everyday reality, but just imagine what you would have thought 10 or 15 years ago if someone had shown you this & told you it was a photo of the actual president of the United States giving a press conference in the Oval Office
Images like this are what keeps me sane
This is fucking crazy! The offshore wind farm is almost finished!

Here’s what was NOT released today: - the proffer agreement between Maxwell and the DoJ - the agreement transferring Maxwell to club fed - communications showing who waived Maxwell’s sex offender status allowing her transfer and possible work assignments outside prison - the Epstein files

It's more like saying that Ukraine can't launch an offensive against Russia and therefore can't win.
Just a reminder... it was America and the UK that ended Democracy in Iran to steal their oil.

One FOX commentator said the Gavin Newsom has a big job to do as governor of CA and should concentrate on that instead of childish tweets, yet the POTUS has all the time in the world to tweet the nonsense that he does daily?

Do you know how insane and infuriating it is to live in a country where one party claims, with media and public support, the mantle of being the ‘tough on crime’ party while its leader openly calls for convicted criminals to be released from prison ‘or else’?

That's why he knows how to troll the Republican felon.

It's not often I side with economists but it's great to see some arguing FOR the importance of environmental protections
The GOP keeps supporting that liar. The GOP is plain evil.
Question to US citizens: Can employers prevent their employees from voting?
Crazy. Americans can visit the Moon, Elon Musk even works on visits to Mars, but an American President thinks that safe mail-in voting and safe voting machines in the US cannot be provided. The US democracy got stuck in the 19th century.
👇👇
Representatives of EU countries & others at the Trump/Vance meeting with Zelenskyy need to grow a spine. You need to vocally challenge Trump. No more pussy footing. Stand up, it may be your last chance. You can’t let Trump isolate Zelenskyy. Fight for him and us in the West. We’re watching you.
Is this a seance in the Oval Office where Putin talks through Doocy even before the Russian terrorist will have turned into a ghost?
From Russia Today's Telegram channel, this morning
Yes, it could be staged or manipulated. But this is the image Russian propagandists want us to see: the US and Russian flags together, on a vehicle attacking Ukraine
Russian Troops are flying American flags on tanks as they invade Ukraine -- because Trump caved to Putin so badly they are acting like the United States is now a subservient territory of Russia. www.express.co.uk/news/world/2...
Speculative. But the way Trump caved in in Alaska is really weird. He even follows Putin‘s advice to block mail-in voting. It seems that too many U.S. citizens still don’t understand who controls their President.
There’s a reason why the sheriff who raided Epstein’s home is living in Moscow under asylum.
What?! Is this true?
I still trust (some) mainstream media. My favorite is @theguardian.com. But I did’t find anything about John Dougan there.

Newsmax has to pay $67 million to settle the Dominion defamation lawsuit. How much will the felonious liar Donald Trump have to pay to Dominion for defamation?

Lots of people saw it coming but the tide of stupidity was relentless.

🇵🇱 Sikorski: Since 1994 Ukraine already has guarantees of independence and inviolability of borders, also from Russia. In addition, on 22 April 2004 Vladimir Putin solemnly ratified the Treaty on the Russian-Ukrainian Border. Suffice to respect them and the war is over.
Looks more like an ephebophilic and/or hebephilic behavior. The GOP seems to accept that.

Mr. Roger's 1969 speech to Congress. Just as relevant now as it was then. Fred Rogers did not believe in censorship, but the management of feelings in a way that is accessible to everyone. He called it "An Expression of Care." PBS is for everyone! youtu.be/fKy7ljRr0AA?...

However, there is some troubling news that has been brought to my attention. New legislation in the US is threatening users and platforms. I've already reposted another user's commentary on these bills, but to sum it up:
(Cont) these acts will require sensitive data to be submitted to access certain websites (S.737), require platforms to censor their own content (S.1748), and criminalize pornography or content relating to sex in any way (S.1671). I implore you to read these bills and use your own judgment. (Cont)
SCREEN Act (S.737): www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c... KOSA (S.1748): www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c... Interstate Obscenity Defenition Act (S.1671): action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/interst... If you are in the US, please contact your representatives regarding these bills. #savespeech
This is actually an excellent summary of recent events.

I only found this source: bsky.app/profile/midt...
Is there a source for these good news? I only found jewishchronicle.timesofisrael.com/72-of-americ... as a source.
Putin might have more to release.
There probably is more that just that in Putin's back pocket.
A tale of two vibes.
“Putin would eat you for lunch.” Today, exactly that happened.
How about that? A victory for people who actually read.
