1984 “The telescreen received and transmitted simultaneously. Any sound that Winston made, above the level of a very low whisper, would be picked up by it; moreover, so long as he remained within the field of vision which the metal plaque commanded, he could be seen as well as heard.”
Rocket City. Sounds a lot like Star City, USSR. Was that Putin’s idea?

Washington's speculation about Trump's health is at a fever pitch. We've seen multiple reasons this summer to ask questions — and the media doesn't seem to care. What's really going on? www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/it-s-time-...

Jamie, Ewan and Lachlan Maclean completed the fastest unsupported row across the Pacific, arriving in Cairns, Australia, on Saturday. They rowed over 9,000 miles non-stop from Peru.

Personally, I prefer neo-Stalinism. Or better still, Trumpism. Whatever you call it, it means a lot of people will needlessly die.

'Crazy': Top Trump advisor mocked after claiming RFK Jr. is a 'public health expert'
Well he does have some expertise in heroin addiction. I guess that’s a public health issue.
They're now saying it out loud: The Administration's goal is to undo the political independence that Congress granted the Fed, so that the President can directly set rates.
The Political Awakening of the Oyster Farmer Gunning for Susan Collins Graham Platner’s campaign launch has been a sudden sensation. But what he’s building now is rooted in the work of a lifetime.
70 years ago today, Emmett Till was lynched by white supremacists. Here in Illinois, we promise to never hide from our history — no matter how painful the chapter. We honor his memory and his brave mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, by continuing the fight for civil rights and justice.
It would be a shame if this photo of President Obama holding his Nobel Peace Prize went viral.

Thank God. So many Democratic governors were starting to look really cool; it was very thoughtful of Polis to put on his “I’m Actually A Huge Fucking Dipshit” hat so I don’t accidentally take him seriously at any point in the next 2 to 4 years.
🚨BREAKING: Karoline Leavitt says we should pray more. Deal. I pray every day for her resignation, for real gun laws, and for leaders who do more than thoughts and prayers. Amen. 🙏🏼
These are the words of a lunatic who does not belong in government, much less as our nation's top health official. It is dangerous to allow him to oversee ALL federal health research and public health infrastructure. It is never too late to do the right thing. Fire RFK Jr.
Lunatic is right! (But I do hate it when my mitochondria are challenged.)
Dr. Demetre Daskalakis' resignation letter from the CDC is one worth reading more than once. Dr. Daskalakis' Warning: "The Nation's health security is at risk." #ProudBlue #DemVoice1 #DV1 #Pinks
They’re trying to get all killed.
RFK jr, a man with a laundry list of behavioral problems is running the HHS (including the CDC, NIH, FDA, CMS). If he wants to personally have cult-beliefs, that's on him – but we must not allow him to project his own pathological beliefs onto 345 million people of this country. This is not science.
Dan Rather on top of it again. We no longer have a stable U.S. health agency anymore. THAT puts EVERYONE's lives in jeopardy. Instead, we have an addle-brained former heroin addict calling the shots. No qualifications what-so-ever. open.substack.com/pub/steady/p...
White House taps top RFK Jr. deputy as acting CDC director” A Silicon Valley investor and close ally of investor Peter Thiel. Sounds perfectly qualified to head CDC. NOT.
From now on, we can no longer rely on information provided by the CDC, FDA, EPA, and NIH.

As long as any nut has access to an AK-47, this is going to happen. Children are going to be killed in mass shootings. Accept it or do something about it, but stop with the hand wringing and the "thoughts and prayers." Mass shooting were lower during the 1994–2004 Federal Assault Weapons Ban.

DOLLAR STORE DONNIE!! bless his heart xx
These children were probably praying when they were shot to death at catholic school. Don’t give us your fucking thoughts and prayers. Trump got rid of the Office of Gun Violence Prevention. Trump gutted the resources that were in place to keep our communities safe.
VA staffing shortages mean delayed care and broken promises. Our veterans kept their word to us—we must keep ours by giving the VA the people and resources it needs.

Pope Leo XIV demanded Wednesday that Israel stop the “collective punishment” and forced displacement of Palestinians in Gaza as he pleaded for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in the besieged territory amid preparations by Israel for a new military offensive.

“Laura Loomer, Kristi Noem, and Matt Gaetz can afford excellent surgeons and subtle cosmetic work but, unless they’ve all had botched procedures, it seems they deliberately chose to look like AI-generated caricatures.” From the First Lady [sic] on down, they look like plastic Barbies.

We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.
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.

@adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social: "Trump’s deployment of 2,300 National Guard troops and 500 federal law enforcement agents has hurt foot traffic, chilled business, and made people cancel trips and nights out. It is slowly choking the life out of Washington, D.C." www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-is-s...

Nearly 200 journalists have been killed in Gaza, more than in any other conflict or any single place since CPJ (@pressfreedom) began keeping track in the '90s.

Funny how Trump resembled Gavin Newsom, back before Gavin Newsom was born.
Breaking: Democrats have flipped an Iowa state Senate seat in today's special election, breaking the GOP supermajority. The tide is rising and so is disgust for the GOP's authoritarian agenda. #project2026
For the first time in 111 years, a President is planning to fire a sitting Fed governor—and of course, it’s the first Black woman, Lisa Cook. Trump’s message is clear: when Black women rise, he’ll do anything to push us down. Newsflash: we’re not going anywhere.
