Thank you on this labor day!!
Thank you on this labor day!!
Eager to give Vance a hot dog. Then Johnson.
If anyone is wondering just how badly the Muslim community in Dearborn, Michigan fucked up, the answer is now crystal clear. Every atrocity that was predicted would happen in Gaza if Trump were to be elected is happening. Every single fucking one. š³š
That proud-to-be-an-entitled-asshole attitude will get him first in line in Hell.
Trump limits National Guard assignments to 29 days at a time to keep the called up service members from getting healthcare and housing benefits while on duty. And the NG troops are catching on. Stereotypical Trump. Don't give those losers and suckers an extra dime. www.rawstory.com/trump-infuri...
FEDERAL AGENTS TAKE NOTEā¦ Itās not just Chicago standing strong. Other blue cities and governors are ready to unite against Trumpās federal invasion. Iām not an attorney, but this point seems huge: if federal agents break state or city laws, they can prosecuted. And Trump cannot pardon them.

CW: Sexual assault Women are being kidnapped and assaulted by men who impersonate ICE agents. This is one of many reasons why we canāt have a masked, unaccountable secret police force roaming the streets. Urge your elected officials to take action today: www.bluestatedefianc...
Good for you, Alabama. Didn't predict I'd ever say that.

Completely unsurprised. Unnecessary idea with loads of potentially harmful consequences.
GOP has to go down hard. And donāt give Democrats like Chuck Schumer a pass for codifying this behavior
This is inhumane treatment. āNo sleep, snacks only, no toothbrush. I didnāt brush my teeth for 13 days,ā he said. āI was worried that Iām going to die.ā
As it should be.
Welch: As someone who lives in a red state, let me just tell you what MAGA supermajorities get you. We're 50th in education. The worst in the whole country for women to live. We're poorer, worst health care. And if you look at the bottom ten states, they are all MAGA supermajorities.
Like a deadly virus, created in the lab of bad public policy at the Heritage Foundation, Project 2025 has been let loose on our nation with impacts we are all just beginning to comprehend. My latest on Substack: open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...
Crazy.
Hey Mark- Told one of my chiropractic patients about Cost Plus Drugs last week and your mission after he complained a skin cancer medicine was going to cost him $1700- He found it on your website for under $20- for real. Best project ever. @costplusdrugs.com
Gavin Newsom posting the homicide rates in red states has Trump's cult of low IQ MAGA fascists apoplectic. Gee, I'm so surprised. šš¤£š
Garcia: We finally got word from the Epstein estate. They're going to be providing the actual Epstein bookā¦ the estate is actually going to actually now get us that book and a bunch of other documents that they have that's actually not been reported yet.
They donāt care if you have papers or not. What they care about is whether you look like an immigrant from south of the border.
Welch: Am American president talks to other American citizens like that, and propagandists come on TV and normalize this behavior. And nothing about this is normal. Nothing
Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.
Update: Due to public shaming, plot recently upgraded. In stages.
This father nails how silly this manufactured problem is compared to real problems.
The truth be told
A federal judge has ordered Florida to shut down "Alligator Alcatraz," after the state spent a staggering $218M to build the now-vacant detention camp. Closing it will run taxpayers another $20M. An utterly cruel and costly waste.

Wonderful! Wish I lived in Florida because you'd definitely have my vote. Sad to see what Florida has become.
Donāt look away
The Trump Administration is undoing protections for 60 million acres of pristine wilderness across the country, including 2 million right here in Oregon. This is an incredibly shortsighted and backward decision.
Thank you for ALWAYS looking out for America.
Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond. Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around. Get involved with the @democraticredistricting.com as they fight back: bit.ly/3HJ1ayW
The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it. ICE isnāt recruiting heroes, itās recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures. Losers with power become the most dangerous kind. (c/o Caroline Codsi)
āWhen I call Kennedy a ādangerous crank,ā I'm not saying that as an insult or as hyperbole, but honestly as the most economical way of describing the man's views,ā says @chrislhayes.bsky.social on RFK Jr.

News flash: We do not want a dictator. Release the Epstein Files. Common sense gun control now.
Two earth angels at play.
Councilmember Tim McOsker Los Angeles City Councilmember for the 15th District
This is insanity. This is the sign of a government that has lost its mind.
According to federal data, 13 of the top 20 cities in homicide rates have Republican governors. None of those cities are Chicago. 8 of the top 10 states in homicide rates are led by Republicans. None of those states are Illinois. And yet Trump is sending troops here.
Rockbridge Network needs to be talked about, too. Trump is the clown stooge, the power plan comes from them. youtube.com/shorts/GOh67...

The fact that all major news sources in the United States have daily lead stories like "Experts weigh in on the most delicious ice cream" and not "Democracy is dead" is one of the greatest derelictions in duty in the history of the country.
šBlame it on the BOOGIE man........ trump.
BREAKING: Maryland Gov. Wes Moore just announced he refuses to authorize National Guard deployment in Maryland. š§µ
BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Governor Wes Moore is going on offense and calling out Republicans for being the political party that is promoting government taking away your everyday freedoms. This is how you flip the script. ~ Democratic Wins Media ~
Tim Walz: "I always get in trouble for it and I'll continue to say it, I don't think we do any favors when we don't name it -- these are fascist policies."
I want to feel like THAT.
It isnāt normal for a president to repeatedly threaten the use of military force against American citizens. Treating the National Guard as a political pawn disrespects those who serve and undermines public trust in our military.
Made me chuckle.
6. Secure the release of violent loyalists from prison 7. Manufacture reasons to ignore or marginalize the constitutional checks to his authority 8. Add extremists to the ranks of law enforcement 9. Regularly float unconstitutional actions (e.g. a third term) to ferret out the opposition
If a president wanted to become effectively a dictator, heād likely: 1. Purge govt of non loyalists 2. Weaponize law against opponents 3. Use military to police opposition strongholds 4. Threaten media, schools, businesses w penalties to get them to heel 5. Change election rules in his favor.
āI was r*ped sometimes 3 times a day on that islandā¦ and I was not the only girl on that islandā¦ Ghislaine must die in prison, because Iāve been in hell and back for the last 17 years.ā Listen to the survivors.
Heās wanted to declare martial law from day one. Bypass all checks and rule as a tyrant. Many have speculated how heād do it. Now his gambit is clear. DC was a test. Heās using manufactured crime stats to send troops into blue states & cities. This is not a drill. Democracy is at defcon 1.
No one would be confused about what's happening if you saw it in another country. No one.
My name is Captain Dylan Blaha, and this message is for members of the National Guard across the USA. I've served in the Illinois Army National Guard for over 12 years, including a deployment to Afghanistan and three years on active duty in Europe. What's going on right now is not normal.
Just when you think he's as horrible as possible... he tops himself.
What a stupid waste of a meaningful project. Can they sue for time/$ spent? Also for lost projected benefit from end result. This and destruction of pre-paid relief for starving countries and rotting and/or unsellable crops due to loss of workers. Hell, the waste list is LONG from Trump's actions.
KRUGMAN: āGrowth is slowing, inflation accelerating, urban crime plunging ā Trumpās response has been to attack the data and the people who report it. People donāt FEEL crime is up, theyāve HEARD itās up - which isnāt the same thing.ā open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...
We watched this deceptive cover-up planned and executed right in front of us. The process/outcome tainted. This BS was predictable. Criminal minds are very adept at manipulating the process to protect themselves. One of the criminals being Trump.
George Will rips Trumpās 'tirelessly big government' www.msn.com/en-us/news/o... Excerpt: "Even if you have no interest in football, pay attention and see how tirelessly big government defends the strong."

Powell: "GDP growth has slowed notably in the first half of this year, to a pace of 1.2%, roughly half the 2.5% pace in 2024. The declining growth has largely reflected a slowdown in consumer spending ... higher tariffs have begun to push up prices in some categories of goods."

Donald Trump is going to try to rig the outcome of the 2026 election because he is an authoritarian and that is what authoritarians do. I don't know if I should say it louder or softer, but people need to pay attention and take action. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2bc...
The ICE-holes are bounty hunters, proud boys, oath keepers, facist militias, kkk, nazi hate groups, Jan 6th insurrectionists They are being paid $1000 per arrest An ICE supervisory role = $132-$185k yearly Concentration camp mgrs = $306k yearly $50k hiring bonuses This BULLSHIT has to end NOW!
šØšØšØHow to address ICE ā by a patriot in D.C.
The Santa Rosa case is horrifying, but it should be a wake-up call. A SR security guard poses as police officer to rape women. If Trumpās immigration enforcement practices make it easier for criminals to masquerade as āICEā or āpolice,āthen this administrationās policies are not just failingā
Proud to join Denmark Foreign Affairs Minister @lars-loekke.bsky.social and Ambassador SĆørensen to sign a new partnership between California and Denmark. Our message to the rest of the world is clear: California is a stable, reliable partner ā no matter who's in the White House.
Jon asks why the GOP's "one is too many" logic applies only to immigrants and not mass shootings
This administration keeps recklessly crossing lines.
You're being generous in regard to early Trump. Anyone else having Trump's visible unsavory history, numerous claims of assaults, and said the words that came straight from his lips would have been political toast and/or possibly jailed depending on trials. You're tough now. Keep THAT up.
Again I didnāt start out thinking Trump was hiding something truly horrific vis a vis Epstein, but literally every single thing heās doneā¦
Not happy with who has control over redactions... "Republicans and DOJ."
ICE just showed up in my Dad's rural MI town and *stuck a gun in the chest* of one of his good friends, a roofer, as they checked his workers' papers. The guy said he's never feared for his life as he did that day.
Masked raids are tools of fear, not freedom. Despite what this administration wants you to believe, they are not about āsafety.ā They are about letting ICE agents hide from accountability while carrying out inhumane acts.
Shaggy was alone and scared on the streets of Thailand. To see him now in America will make your heart melt...
May this portion of the dissent by Ketanji Brown Jackson haunt John Roberts forever and be the final word on his tenure as Chief Justice.
Itās all about sending a message. The raid is the message. Itās all about retribution. He is the retribution president. As with troops on our streets, itās all about normalizing fascism. This is fascism. Fascism is here. Too many Americans are too ābusyā to care. But itās here.
Tesla paid $0 in taxes in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2024 despite reporting $6.7B in profit. SpaceX has likely paid little to no federal income taxes since 2002. Elon Muskās net worth is $364B. Our tax laws are written to benefit billionaires. www.muskwatch.com/p/how-spacex...

The president of the United States is trying to steal congressional seats so I donāt give a fuck about the Cracker Barrel logo discussion. Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow.
90% of US immigration detention is done by private corporations that have multiāmillion dollar contracts with ICE. With a clear reliance on these companies, the Trump admin allocated $45 billion to carry out its mass deportation of immigrants.
ICE agents in Lynwood, CA tried to break into a barbershop without a warrant. When the owner refused to open the door, they threatened him: āIām going to go get your dad and Iām going to get your mom!ā Is this the America we want to live in?
Of course there will be an appeal and possibly a stay, but hopefully this decision sticks www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...
