I'm snarky. Deal with it. I'm old enough to remember when "social media" was a party line. "Boomer" is the N-word for senior citizens. If you use it, you can expect me to block you. Matthew 25:40

It is wild that the Washington Post -- which claims "Democracy Dies in Darkness" -- has remained completely silent for more than a day about Trump's latest attack on free and fair elections. Support pro-democracy independent media. Subscribe to Democracy Docket today. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

Americans once assumed their kids would be better off than they were. But business professor Scott Galloway says today's economic policies work to enrich Boomers and steal from younger generations.

Robert Kennedy Jr. is a fucking lunatic. Period.
As we resist Trump’s tyranny, America gains solidarity. As we gain solidarity, we feel more courageous. As we feel courageous and stand up to Trump, we weaken him and his regime. As we weaken Trump and his regime, we have less to fear.
#USDemocracy "The first Black mayor of a tiny Alabama town overwhelmingly won election this week, four years after he says White residents locked him out of the town hall and refused to let him serve. [...] Patrick Braxton was elected as the mayor of Newbern, winning 66 votes to his opponent's 26"

Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Louie Gohmert, Mo Brooks, Andy Biggs, Scott Perry, Josh Hawley, Peter Navarro, Mike Johnson, Bannon, Stone, Flynn etc. - the most severe consequences for any of them were the disbarments of Giuliani in NY and DC. That's all.

MAGAts never understood why people were upset about Cultural Appropriation. Then Gavin came along and every single MAGA understands it with scientific precision and is howling mad about it.
Trump has the best interest of Trump at heart‼️ How the fu*k can they still defend him?
American federalism goes to work. As RFK Jr. heads down the road of more measles, more COVID-19 and more flu, public health states must develop our own strategies to stay safe.
It is exhausting how those of us on the left are constantly told to be careful and mindful and sensitive with the language and rhetoric we use, while the right just say whatever shit they want. Being on the right is playing politics on easy mode.
This is the shit you say while passing the bong and then giggle at later for how dumb you are when you’re high.
"It’s not merely rule by the worst but an active assault on virtue wherever it exists. Trump and MAGA have turned the country over to the cruelest, most rapacious, and least honorable among us and directed the force of the state against firefighters, aid workers, civil servants, and children."
Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”

Question: Why did US put big tariffs on India despite major national interest in cultivating a strategic counterweight to China and trying to isolate Russia? Answer: Because the US president lied that he fixed India-Pakistan and India wouldn’t go along with the lie. (Seriously, that’s the answer)

A good weekend to remember that unions were the thing that gave us this holiday. The forty hour workweek, work place safety regulations and laws, and ensure pay increases despite federal stagnation. This is the worker's holiday.
The Trump administration announced that it plans to dismiss nearly all remaining employees at Voice of America, escalating tensions with a federal judge who had previously blocked efforts to overhaul the government-funded broadcaster.
Powerful piece by @markhertling.bsky.social. “I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it.” www.thebulwark.com/p/honoring-a...
I can see why the headlines are that the appellate court held the tariffs unlawful. But I feel like the striking down of the nationwide injunction against the tariffs may really matter more. This lawless administration will keep doing what the court says is unlawful as long as there’s no remedy.
I wholeheartedly agree with this!
Countries are telling the Trump regime to fuck off. They aren't taking calls. They aren't returning calls. They are cancelling scheduled meetings. No one respects Trump and the clowns he employs. www.cnbc.com/2025/08/28/j...

Their freedom of religion allows them to believe what they want, including twisting customary understandings of Christianity into something unrecognizable. My freedom of (and from) religion allows me to call out behavior no benevolent deity would ever endorse...and oppose intellectual monkey shit.

Trump has been president for 8 months. There is no need for any emergency tariff to last longer than 3, because if the country really needs that particular tax congress will pass it. All emergency tariffs should be moot after 90 days.

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, that's pretty weird, right? I wonder how many days he'll go without being in public until an intrepid journalist asks why. Might even be a book in it. Do you know anyone?

D is tempting, but it would take too long. Let's go with A, but only after a lengthy pre-mortem period of inability to control bowel, bladder, and facial functions. Drooling down his shirt and making unintelligible noises with his pie-hole would be a good look on him.
And for those who call wind turbines and solar panels “ugly”… here’s what dirty energy really looks like.
Months before igniting Texas’ redistricting fight, the Trump administration began testing a strategy of using the courts to force favorable political outcomes. The new voting map, signed into law today by Gov. Greg Abbott, is its latest win. With @texastribune.org

A Democratic candidate for prosecutor in Virginia wants lawmakers to ban ICE agents from operating while masked or while concealing their identities; she says she’d then prosecute those who don’t comply.
So what? I don't care if a bunch of soldiers are standing around at the polls.
This was a power grab. Pure and simple. Normally, Congress would step in and complain. But now the Republicans are a cult, not a political party. This is an important front in the fight against authoritarianism.
Loved you as Doug in ST: Strange New Worlds! ♥️🖖
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
