That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.
If we’re going to do this, I guess it’s good to do it early while he’s weak, but it’s surreal. It’s surreal that we were a stable and incredibly wealthy country and we’re going to tear ourselves apart so conservatives don’t have to admit they went insane and elected a criminal madman. Never forgive
Read about how Francis J. Allman, Chief Judge of Florida’s Second Judicial District, is an un-American censorial fascist thug worthy of contempt.
how are you even supposed to take spy movies seriously when laura loomer is making intelligence decisions oh, there’s an elaborate plot to steal the nation’s secrets? the ones being emailed to the lady who handcuffed herself to the twitter building? how dare they ruin one of the best genres
Reid: Bondi is not a real AG. She just works for Trump. All these U.S. attorneys — what’s her name from Fox (who I hope is sober) — she’s not a real U.S. attorney. She works for Trump. They’ve gutted the DOJ. The DOJ doesn’t exist. The FBI doesn’t exist. It’s all just Trump’s employees.
This should wake up the West. If we don’t act together, authoritarian rule will ensue within our borders.
Laura Loomer has more power over your government than US Senators.
Donald Trump, et. al., are actively whipping Republican House members to *vote against* the bipartisan effort to release the Epstein files. And we all know why.
BREAKING: The Pentagon has authorized up to 600 military lawyers to serve as temporary immigration judges. This is a blatant expansion of military power into a civilian judicial process, a dangerous erosion of the separation between the two. Every day, we inch closer to fascism.
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
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 SHUT IT DOWN unless DC is funded, the troops are withdrawn from our cities, elections are protected, the Epstein files are released in full...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.
When red states deploy their military into blue states, isn't that called something?
the tech right is cool because they'll say "we must build the future and make the US the most innovative country in the world" and also "women should stop getting educated some time in high school so they fuck more"
Pritzker: When did we become a country where it's okay for the 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?
"The GOP is signing on to mass murder of children based on the novel theories of a man who has no party ties except a single Trump endorsement. It is a measure of the party’s utter hollowness, brokenness, and evil that even in this case, it can barely find the resources to demur."
Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?"
“Rather than defending civil liberties and civil protections, you’re turned inward to potentially hinder [them].” In June, we sat down with a veteran and military law expert to discuss “being used against your neighbor” as a soldier.
If we had Democrats with any backbone, we could fucking prosecute Hegseth
It shouldn’t take a liberal activist to be against this. Everyone should be against this.
One problem with being on Twitter is that Elon Musk constantly rejigs the site to push his views. He cannot be sidelined when he owns the underlying system. His manipulation of the Twitter AI to match his views illustrates this point. Via @kateconger.com www.nytimes.com/2025/09/02/t...
important to realize that Greenwald explicitly wants to kill any site that isn't controlled by oligarchs and tyrants because his project requires trapping people in a propaganda-supported alternate reality
🚨BREAKING: A federal judge ruled Tuesday that President Donald Trump’s use of National Guard troops and Marines in Los Angeles earlier this year violated a federal law that prohibits using the military as a domestic police force. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
I'm just going to keep noting that the owner and operator of Twitter -- the social media that too many politicians and pundits use to determine what's "normal" -- keeps on pushing the white supremacist Great Replacement Theory that has been the motivation for multiple mass shootings in this country.
I will say though that military personnel can be prosecuted at the state level for detaining people if doing so is in violation of federal law. They can be prosecuted for kidnapping, false imprisonment, assault, etc.
Violating the posse comitatus act is a felony by the way. Hegseth has criminal liability here. Trump doesn't thanks to the Supreme Court. Not like anyone will actually prosecute them anyways.
This Day in Labor History: September 2, 1885. White miners in Rock Springs, Wyoming decided to exterminate the town’s entire Chinese community. Whites killed at least 28 Chinese miners in the Rock Springs Massacre. Let's talk about one of our great problems--the racism of the white working class!
100% proof of life announcement lmao
I have no real take on the bluesky/twitter vaguely leftish beef other than I don't think I should be in the business of any actions that provide financial support to someone who thinks the dilution of the white race is the greatest threat civilization currently faces.
The next Democratic president should declare that the National Emergencies Act and Article II of the Constitution allow him to: •admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states •abolish ICE •grant citizenship to any immigrant •disband the 5th Circuit •expand the Supreme Court Seriously: Why the hell not?
Agreed
Omg
Shame on the courts for going along with the pernicious fiction that American national security required stripping employees of union protections
Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.

Happy Labor Day! For over a century, Illinois has been the epicenter of the fight for workers’ rights. Working families are the bulwark that has made our state the 5th largest economy in the nation. Today, we celebrate workers and their leadership of Illinois’ success.
My frustration with discussions about immigration has always been that so few politicians stand up and just say “actually immigration is good, and giving safe secure routes for asylum seekers is good” and now things just seem to be devolving even further by the day.
Thread: this is Russ Vought giving himself permission to ignore Congress and the constitution
During Jim Crow, many states mandated that anyone seeking to register to vote or apply to a state university had to have multiple voters/alumni “vouch” for their character. It was an easy if unsubtle way to maintain all-white (or mostly-white) institutions
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
really cannot overstate how much this man looks like shit manifesting…
“I’ve never met anyone else remotely like him…He is and was profoundly stupid, completely lacking in intellectual curiosity.” www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
My favorite part of all this is that Trump‘s policies are micro targeted to fuck over his voting base and I’m here for it. I derive great joy in these dark times from it.
Tulsi Gabbard is *very obviously* a foreign intelligence asset and I hope we all live long enough to see her tried and convicted for it.
Yeah, the real thing here is education polarization that’s what’s gonna move the suburbs and Republicans absolutely hate expertise, professionalism, and education
White people ultimately want legislation that harms others, but not them. That’s why they are currently willing to wager their safety and security. White voters intentionally mean to do you harm if you are not white
1912 - it’s there in black & white! But 110 YEARS LATER governments subsidised the fossil fuel industry to the tune of $7 TRILLION! Billions of people will die not because climate collapse is unavoidable, but because elites decided our lives are less important than fossil fuel profits.
Nice… I am close to that I didn’t start till 50 and bench press was one of the later things we added to my routine because of some issues I had around tennis elbow and my tendons But I hit four sets 10 at 135 recently and I was pretty stoked about it… making good progress Keep at it!
Serious Credit Card Delinquencies (unpaid balances for at least 90 days) hit their highest level in 14 years 🚨🚨🚨
I keep thinking about this from the National Guard to CIA, DEA, FBI etc Literally tens of thousands of specially drained violence doers that you’ve totally pissed off
Once more for those in back: They were never going to be able to implement a mass deportation program without prioritizing people like this. Criminals and gang members are too hard to find and apprehend. Regular folks who show up to work, church, and their scheduled immigration appointments are not.
There’s no world in which you can explain this based on merit. There just isn’t.
That’s so embarrassing
Not just yearn for it, but feel entitled to it. These men believe they are owed a seamless transition from babying by their mom to babying by their wife. The fact that they are not in fact guaranteed that free domestic and emotional labor (delivered by women, of course) is experienced as robbery
They want what I have heard called a bang maid
Speaking as someone who used to spend time in their chats, SO much of US contemporary fascism is a function of men assuming that the way adulthood worked was, you got a job and in exchange you got a woman to be your mom plus your sex toy. They are ENRAGED that they have a job but no sex mommy.
Listen, Freud would for sure have a field day with the men who bought into fascism because they wanted sex mommies, but what I am offering is a LABOR critique, not psychoanalysis. These men want a return to receipt of unpaid feminine domestic/emotional labor PAIRED with sexual labor.
“.. with the exception of the pandemic, Black women have never seen such staggering losses in employment.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/u...
It's irritating to see media reports saying, "There are unconfirmed reports that Trump intends to stay on for a third term." There is no third term. No plans can be made for what is illegal. Conspiracy. Only an illegal coup can help him stay on beyond two terms. One likely assisted by the SCOTUS.
Yeah, I’m never gonna hit those 300 pound marks I started late and old so my goals are currently bodyweight for reps on dead lift, squats, and bench press Getting close, but not there yet
new episode of ill concieved about christian dads who want to date their daughters
Those willing, by contrast, to trade away the rights and dignity of transgender people or the poor cannot be considered friends of democracy any more than those who were willing to countenance second-class status for blacks and Jews.
FYI www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
does Drew Ensign go home to his wife every night and say “hi honey, I had a great day lying to the court so that the US government could murder children”? I mean how exactly do you even begin to live with yourself
I do that all the time and it’s like subconscious and completely changes the meaning of the sentence every single time
This is worth sharing far and wide. Federal Employees and contractors oral history project. Im not involved in this. Just got the link, idea seems to be to create a record of the assault on the American Repuvlic after Jan 2025. www.fecohp.org
It’s such a joy when constituents get what they voted for
This is every MAGA everywhere… family friend coworkers Trash values of trash humans and dumb as a box of rocks
Banning books instead of guns is exactly what radicalized me.
This is correct. I’ve been trying to tell people for a decade now. Trump didn’t change conservatives. They’ve always been trash humans. He merely stripped the veneer of respectability from them.
Trump's contribution to our politics was exposing that conservatives don't care about any of the principles they've said are sacrosanct for 100 years, and all they wanted was to be openly evil instead of circuitously evil. The Democrats who win will be the ones who understand this and act like it
There’s not much we can do until theid terms, it’s his subordinates that are causing the damage not him Let him linger and suffer and cause problems for them in their public relations
She’s the best South Dakota has to offer. What an absolute fucking trash human.
If you say 'heteronormative' or 'unhoused person' or 'food insecurity' you're basically talking gibberish and nobody can understand you but if you say you can see inflammation in children at the airport and that vaccines lower IQ or that germs are a myth you get to fire all the scientists.
God, I hope he lingers and suffers I hope it’s painful physically and existentially, and I hope his inner circle knifes the fuck out of each other in the process
People who might be comfortable with their neighbors quietly disappearing aren't always comfortable when the grotesque human rights abuses involved are made public. They don't like to imagine themselves as the bad people you make them seem like when you point out what's happening. So keep doing it.
I’ve been screaming this for a decade In particular white conservative Christians imagine themselves as such good people they cannot bear even a small touch of the reality that they empower with their voting. It’s hilarious to watch them fidget and collapse. Name names and confront them
They’re doing all this to prevent people from MEMORIALIZING A MASS SHOOTING
This Administration doesn't care about the laws. They don't care about due process. All they care about is power and exerting control over cities they don't like. Los Angeles will not stand for it.
This fucking guy thinks he can look in kids’ faces and diagnose illnesses. Has the MF looked in a mirror recently? I’ve seen beaten up leather bags with better chances.
People should probably prepare for the fact that ACIP is likely to recommend against the MMR vaccine in the midst of the largest measles outbreak in who knows how long. If you want to know just how death culty things are about to be.
Farmers are fucked
You and I both know there’s been no more reliable Republican voter than Farmers. They are absolutely getting what they voted for. I mean we’re all gonna get fucked, but they at least asked for it.
Bwwwaaaaahhhhaaaaa
I think it goes to the way fascist movements welcome and elevate criminals, liars, and cranks, because those people find it easy to participate in the basic fascist bargain of surrendering their morals and principles in exchange for unthinking fealty to the leader
this is an excellent move.
After Rep Ty Burns pleaded guilty to domestic abuse, injuring his wife & assaulting his teenage daughter, it's unclear whether OK GOP & House Speaker Kyle Hilbert will take action. They even kept the case against Burns secret until Thursday, Aug. 28. THIS IS WHAT THEY DO & THIS IS WHO THEY ARE!

What are we even doing?
It really is a trash ideology for trash people, and they so desperately want to be accepted rather than learning to be better humans
In a national poll, 9 out of 10 American flags prefer Governor Gavin Christopher Newsom.
There is a lot of both siding us into Fascism bro's Also fuck the both siders.
We should grow and look back and watch that and see it for the trash it was and grow past it not revel in it like a teenage in a 50 year old body what a bunch of trash
Yeah a lot of my peers have shown themselves as reactionary calcified fools incapable of growing or changing Just fucking trash
This is every time a conservative icon dies. They really are just fucking trash. adherents to garbage fascist ideology.
I'm in. Where do we sign up to help?
Today 😂☺️☺️
I love this photo... I sincerely and genuinely hope he is suffering physically and existentially I hope he lingers, it is not fast and his inner circle knives each other in the process
As states start setting their own Vaccination Policies if supplies run short do not allow any Republicans to have access Let them live their preferred shortened painful diseased lives
