I beg everyone to share this post, read the article & send it to everyone you know! Don't let the anti-science propagandists be louder than those who deal in facts & reality.
Uhhh…ohhhh 👀👀👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼😂
"The risks of militarizing society were real to them, as were their concerns about politicizing the military." "Them" being early Americans who understood why civilian and military affairs are rigidly separated in our Constitution.
Pritzker on Trump's plan for Chicago: "Unidentifiable agents in unmarked vehicles with masks are planning to raid Latino communities and say they're targeting violent criminals."

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable
🚨 An Exposé on Trump Breaking the Law Trump has been blocked, paused, or ruled illegal 24 times since taking office — from troop deployments to immigration, tariffs, and voting rights. Courts keep slapping him back but he keeps trying to push through anyway. Full breakdown 👇
“Fire RFK Jr. now.” From @motherjones.com ⬇️ www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
I'm guessing this means it's illegal for Turnip to send troops to DC or Chicago as well. A California judge rules that Trump's deployment of the guard to LA was illegal. www.npr.org/2025/09/02/n...
Background from @lawfaremedia.org on the limits of Title 32, Section 502(f): "If a ... president were to ... ask governors to send unfederalized Guard personnel into a nonconsenting state—as opposed to a non-state jurisdiction like D.C.—that deployment would violate the Constitution."
The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.
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.
the DOJ atty (& 2x Harvard grad) who suggested Harvard showed "wanton indifference to antisemitism" once wrote a paper from the perspective of Hitler & expressed admiration for Mein Kampf stunning reporting from @hilaryburns.bsky.social @talkopan.bsky.social www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/02/m...
“A respected network of hospitals and cancer centers is halting enrollment in clinical trials for children with brain cancer after the federal government said it would no longer provide funding to the group”
Whoever made the joke “they pulled the IV out to go to golf course” wasnt lying
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"
“I refuse to accept this is normal.” - JB Pritzker. Amen, governor. Amen.
It's being reported that the Pentagon is authorizing military lawyers to serve as immigration judges. This is a threat to the Constitution. Don't say we didn't warn you. From the archives:
Pritzker: "We've gathered information from unauthorized, patriotic officials inside the government and from-sourced reporters about Donald Trump's plan, which is to deploy armed military personnel to the streets of Chicago."
Pritzker: "It breaks my heart to report that we have been told ICE will try to disrupt community picnics and peaceful parades. Let's be clear -- the terror and cruelty is the point, not the safety of anybody living here."
Senate Democrats: DO NOT FUND the government when the current continuing resolution expires at the end of the month. SHUT IT DOWN unless DC is funded, the troops are withdrawn from our cities, elections are protected, the Epstein files are released in full... SHUT IT DOWN.
Things feel uncertain right now, Illinois. I want you all to know we’re doing everything we can to protect your rights. Make sure you know how to stand up for yourself and others at illinoisimmigrationinfo.org.
This is why I am an angry feminist killjoy.
KASIE HUNT: Over the summer you said, “There’s no vaccine that’s safe and effective”. Do you still believe that? RFK JR: “I never said that.” KASIE HUNT: “Play the clip.” RFK JR (clip): “There’s no vaccine that is safe and effective.” (March 2024) ht: @cwebbonline.com
And then they came for the Holocaust museums.
Release the Epstein files.
It's time for the National Guard leadership to stand up for their troops! How dare he not only humiliate them with a fake emergency mission making them deploy to D.C. to pick up trash but also do everything he can to ensure they don't get fully compensated for their deployment?
RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.
www.cbsnews.com/news/joni-er... Because she KNOWS she’s going to LOSE. 🤣😂 This dumbass broad actually MOCKED her own Constituents for their fears of losing Healthcare under the trump regime. Then she doubled down in a video insulting them further. Ms We’re-All-Going-To-Die Ernst. 😂🤣😂
Post of the week. Couldn't say it simpler or better.
😆😆😆😆 (Read the thread.) 👍
Ditto.
Here in the US, “two weeks” actually means never.
There are 79 working days left in 2025. If you write 1 1/2 pages a day, every working day, you can finish a script before New Years. If you write 3 pages a day, you could complete a novel. 1000 words a day, roughly 4 pages, and you could write three scripts. A page at a time comes together quickly
nate silver is legitimately a one hit wonder who has exactly 0 juice left outside of old white liberals who still think him averaging polls and saying Obama would win means he's a genius he is washed and desperate to remain relevant - a twitter creature, he is nothing without it
He put chalk on his shoes then walked on the Pulse Memorial crosswalk. Police arrested him. But the court said they had no cause and he was released. The man arrested is now considering suing the state of Florida citing first amendment right violations.
Nine former CDC chiefs say RFK Jr. is endangering Americans. Amid a measles surge he fired Susan Monarez, installed unqualified advisers, and cut vaccine support. They urge Congress, medical groups, and philanthropy to defend science and public health.
What an awesome idea!
How will these workers be replaced?

Netflix co-founder drops $2 million into Gavin Newsom’s redistricting campaign - POLITICO
Jeļena Ostepanko is one of those “The Vikings wore Braids!” racists. Because this is what we are talking about. You will copy the hair styles and techniques developed by Black women yet be quick to call a Black woman “uneducated” and “classless” to her face.
Kressly: I expect in the next couple of weeks, this is going to get worse. You’re going to hear from the same administrative people who have gutted the expertise needed to promote child health — pushing false narratives like, “we need to look at the link between vaccines and autism.” That is a lie.
Who's got "blueskyism?" I think that means we just don't tolerate fascist bullshit much.
Music to my ears. How about you? #ProudBlue #Pinks
Just so you know, everything that is being pushed out from the Whitehouse is just a ploy to distract us from the Epstein victims testifying on Capitol Hill on Wednesday. Thank you Rep Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Rep Thomas Massie (R-KY) for making this happen. The victims deserve justice! 💥🔥💥
Once "adults thought young kids should use iPads because it would give them a competitive advantage in a screen-based workplace. So embarrassing. We shit the bed and kids are paying the price. It feels like we’re on the verge of doing it again. What if we didn’t?" ht: @hypervisible.blacksky.app
If you enjoy… Weekends Safe working conditions Retirement benefits Paid vacations Breaks at work Sick leave Paid holidays … then you’re part of the labor movement. Happy Labor Day.
As soon as I read that part of the story

NEWS FLASH: Unethical doings at Nestle! *collective yawn*
That's what this makes me think of. It's like he tried to do his hair and botched it. Either that, or he has cancer and they're pumping chemo in him and that's why his hands are bruised, and his hair is falling out and they think a wig on him would spark more rumors than a hat.
Anybody remember the episode of "Leave It to Beaver" where Beaver lost his haircut money and was afraid to tell his parents so he tried to cut it himself disastrously, so Wally tried to make it look better and made it worse? And then they went around wearing hats so their parents wouldn't know?
This isn't even a good photoshop. How do we know the only way he's leaving again isn't feet first?
Someone please kill me right now.

California stepping up.
Pope Leo gets it. Pope Francis made SURE his successor would get it!
Donald Trump would hate for this to happen in the US.

I kind of hope we never learn what actually happened to Rudy because there’s no way it could be funnier than what he made up
Not sure why everyone is doubting Giuliani’s spokesman’s story it sounds totally plausible and not suspicious at all
DAMN
But Wharton probably has no idea what his IQ is. Colleges and universities don't, as a rule, administer IQ tests.
He's the only one who could have authorized that. He didn't.
MRIs of @KristiNoem's head showed nothing
It has now been SIX DAYS since Donald Trump has delivered any public remarks. His last public remarks were on August 25th, during a ceremony in the Oval Office. THIS IS NOT NORMAL.
RELEASE THE EPSTEIN
Sentimental Sunday… Back to 2021 when Baby Zeke was four months old and Princess Zoey was three years old. ❤️

Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:
IT’S ALL NATIVE LAND!
If this is the “strong leader” they keep selling us, why are they hiding him like Weekend at Bernie’s? 👀
