Yep, he has to instigate because he didn't get the reaction he thought he'd get earlier. So now he's going to make sure it happens. That mis-step doesn't necessarily have to be from a legitimate leftist protester -- anyone with a mask injuring a member of the Guard will do.
In case there was any doubt…
It's pretty much just a white supremacy free for all over there with Elon reposting much of it and peppering it with the emergency level need for white people to have babies or all the whites are going to die at the hands of violent black people. End
Just saw one guy explaining with video people are like animals (using beavers and dam building as an example) with their genes determine their "innate" behavior. He gets lots of support for the theory, lots of folks chiming in on that's why black people shouldn't be allowed to live in the US. 4/n
This is baiting black people so they can attack them with the National Guard. Given that black people didn't take the bait, they're now pushing for the National Guard in black neighborhoods in US cities. X is full of videos of black people committing crimes to justify this. 3/n
They're also REALLY disappointed black people haven't protested to give them a reason to arrest American born black people. Several are posting there are no black people at leftist protests so must be paid white protesters instead of authentic pushback by whites. 2/n
Went over there a bunch this past week. And oh, wow, it's pretty much wall to wall anti Muslim posts with lots of videos showing black people hurting white people. Looks like the push is on both here and abroad to racially and ethnically cleanse the west of people of color. 1/n
The right says teachers are commies and pedophiles. Then they say, let's arm them too.
At least Vance gets to show of his acting chops, pretending he's not as disappointed as the rest of us.
Vance: "die, die, die, die."
LOL, Vance back there like "just dieeeeee."
I guess the bigots among them will have to keep themselves warm and fed with their hatred of others. And the fools among them can just pretend its not real.
Doctors? He's going to get care from experts? Why doesn't he just ask RFK, Jr. for the cure? Or better yet, the surgery.
The More We Know
30 years ago, I lived in a small town. Bank robbers called in a robbery at Walmart, which was a 15 minute drive from the center of town. ALL of the town's cops went there. Then the bank robbers robbed the town's downtown bank and got away with it. Cops are just as predictable today.
Just a thought. They're guarding the green crosswalk with 7 police officers. It would be trivially easy for a chalk-equipped group of civic-minded citizens to drop by each of the red-circled crosswalks in turn.
Mayor Brandon Johnson signed a wide-ranging executive order Saturday that includes banning law enforcement from wearing masks in Chicago and requiring them at all times to display what agency they work for.
"Conservative" households are often the most hypocritical households and children see right through that shit. I know my childhood household was and I was pretty much disgusted with it by age 10.
Once again: “trust the experts” doesn’t mean that *no one* questions scientific consensus, it means that *experts* build and debate and question consensus. People without the domain expertise (and society more broadly) are best served by aligning with that consensus if the process isn’t undermined.
Yep, there isn't one member of the Republican party leadership that's going to go to RFK, Jr. for medical advice let alone hand him a scalpel. Insanity.
I find it amusing that they're all about the amateur epidemiologists but not amateur surgeons.. "what do you mean you don't want this guy to take out your appendix, he's done his own research, and he's been on a lot of podcasts"
I agree. At Putin's bidding so far, Trump has: Destroyed international relationships. Dismantled education. Set up conditions for economic collapse. Weakened agriculture industry. Destroyed public health/research. Pitted states/citizens against each other. Set up possibility of violent civil war.
In response to a suit by @maketheroadny.bsky.social a federal judge has blocked Trump’s expanded use of “expedited removal.” The courthouse abductions w/o due process that we’ve been protesting are illegal—and must stop. We’ll be back next week to make sure they do. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/29/u...
They know they're lying but are so pissed black and brown people have out-accomplished them that they are willing to kill everyone to avenge the exposed "supremacy" myth. If any one of them get sick, they won't be running to RFK, Jr. for treatment advice. Fucking weak, pathetic losers, all of them.
Is this in line with the "conservative values" I've been hearing about for decades? Seems off.
Curious, what is a "conservative" anyway? What are their core values and beliefs?
BREAKING: Social Security Administration chief data officer and whistle-blower Charles Borges has resigned after bombshell report that SSA put highly-sensitive data at risk. He sent out an email to colleagues moments ago. Here is the text of his email shared with me:
He thinks other countries respect us now? Wow.
I was raised by Republicans, one who was very religious. I have never been religious or a conservative. Conservatives' offspring may reject their parents' world view. And children can change the world view of their parents. The religious Republican parent I grew up with is now a Democrat.
It's the guns AND it's the culture, a culture that invokes/celebrates violence, a sickness evident in the cutesy naming of a concentration camp by grinning "save 'our' culture warriors" celebrating the concept of human beings be eaten alive by animals. Frankly, that's a culture not worth saving.
These hacks running HHS don't give two shits about health. Mums the word on rolling back clean water and air protections. Not a peep about gun control. Removing additives from food is useless if the ground, air and water are toxic and a trip to the grocery store gets you fucking shot by an AR15.
Because they're the ONLY ones exempted if males are labeled. Black males get demonized. Hispanic males get demonized. Muslim males get demonized. But not white males. I didn't say any group SHOULD be labeled (in fact specifically said they should not). Just pointing out the hypocrisy.
I really can't understand why he's struggling with the concept. No idea why he's taking it personally. Anyhoo, if he doesn't get it after this last round, I'm going to have to move on. I have the same observation when it comes to religion -- Christians seem to be exempted from the labeling too.
No, I don't. The fact is most violence is committed by males and they don't get labeled as a group, but if one Trans person commits a crime, or Muslim (male or female), or an immigrant (male or female), the whole group gets demonized. Somehow males as a group are exempted from that labeling.
Yes, males period. If you look at who commits the most violence, it's males. Period. But we never say males as a GROUP should be called terrorists, do we? Violence committed by males presently and historically is on a scale that is literally insane (including wars and genocides).
No one's coming for your sons. CLEARLY pointing out the hypocrisy of labeling groups for actions of some of its members when we don't do the same thing to white hetero males. No one is saying we SHOULD, but it's interesting that we don't when we're so keen on doing it to all the other groups.
We don't label white males AS A GROUP as terrorists or thugs, et cetera. Yet, white males are responsible for A LOT OF violence. A LOT. But 1 trans person, or an immigrant, or an unhoused person, a Muslim, or a black kid, et cetera -- the whole group gets the label. Get it?
Yes, it was just to make a point. One group is exempted from labeling while all others are immediately singled out. I'm not suggesting anyone be singled out. Just noting the hypocrisy in favor of patriarchy, particularly white heterosexual patriarchy, when it comes to outrage over violent offenses.
IMO (and that of bsky.app/profile/jeff... in recent posts) we are presently in a soft civil war. Republicans have publicly called it "war" -- (war on Blue City crime, redistricting war, culture war). This time around, the federal government is leading the charge to undermine the Union, not save it.
No salutes or folded flags will ever change the fact she was shot trying to climb through a broken window in the US capitol to interfere with the peaceful transfer of power. She just joins a long list of traitors honored by the snowflakes who hate the US Constitution.
Yes, I'm curious to know the identities of the underlings spewing the toxic Nazi content. But as far as who is responsible, their actions are condoned by their superiors, who micromanage everything, so we know who is responsible: See www.dhs.gov/leadership
I have an unsubstantiated theory that they closed it in a hurry because of rampant disease and used the court order as an excuse (because when have these folks folded so quickly because of a court order?) I think disease was spreading to guards and staff and to keep it under wraps they closed shop.
To include those under 18.
I wasn't including trans women in my description of males. Sorry if it seemed otherwise.
Or just males, period. Males commit that vast majority of all violent crime. Yet you never hear calls to group them under the terrorist or thug labels bandied about for everyone else. And no, I don't support doing that, but it is interesting how they're exempted from being labeled given the facts.
ICE is chock full of these monsters, who, unlike many dictators' armed soldiers, aren't forced under threat of death to act this way -- they are actually choosing to act this way. If given permission to be worse, they gladly will be worse.
This is kind of an aside, but interested in legal opinion that a "white's only" community could be barred from access to any infrastructure paid for by the tax dollars of the surrounding multiracial citizenry. So no access to roads, power, water, sewage, that connect to their property line.
NEW: In March, the Trump administration announced a massive purge of workers at the nation's health agencies. We asked them how many workers were laid off, pushed out or left. They refused to give us numbers. So we conducted our own analysis... 🧵 projects.propublica.org/federal-heal...
Feeding them meat from a box with the lid open in a populated environment at room temperature. LOL.
I rarely comment on people's looks, but . . . Stephen Miller looks like a shit taken by someone with fatty liver disease stuffed in a suit while still wet.
When I asked her why she made a point of telling people that after telling people not to vote for her during the campaign and calling her a genocide supporter (even now), she told me to "eat shit." IMO, she now has the government SHE actively campaigned for.
She encouraged people NOT to vote for Harris and is going to lecture us now about the fallout? Fuck that. Hard pass.
Texas Rep, Nicole Collier, files a Habeas Corpus petition claiming that her detention at the Capitol is illegal because she is not currently absent of her duties. She writes: "The government does not have the power to compel any Texas citizen or elected official into preemptive custody." /1
I guess where I’m at is that if, given everything that is happening right now, you are spending your time inventing scenarios where you won’t vote for a Democrat over the literal fascist who is currently doing fascism, I am just assuming you’re not actually serious about this stuff
Inaccurate interpretation.
Seems bad.
DC Friends 👇
What doesn't affect "them?" The loss of right to protest and change things affects all of us.
Again, that's not what I said.
Again.
Here it is:
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "Democrats have voted for national independent redistricting. Republicans have not. So spare me the crocodile tears on Fox and everyone else saying, 'Oh, everybody does this. Oh, these guys have been gerrymandering for years and years and years.' Not like these folks have."
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social slams Trump for deploying federal agents to his press conference: "It was an act of intimidation. It was an act, however, of weakness. Why else would you send them out? How pathetic. How small."
This part. After Batya spent 3 minutes shouting everyone down, @terrymoranabc.bsky.social told her the truth.
They're deliberately trying to incite black people.
People who want to protect "The Sanctity of Marriage" are always people who voted for a man who raped his first wife, deserted his family of three young children to run off with one of his mistresses, deserted her and their child for another mistress, and then cheated on her with a porn actress. 🤔
Didn't say that. Point was we won't be able to fight for ANY rights or ANY people if we don't stop this administration. Is that more clear?
Wow— Republican Rep. Carl DeMaio hung a curveball over the fat part of the plate and Newsom’s crew was waiting on it and hit it into the Pacific Ocean 👀 They are not playing. Goodnight Carl.
Thanks for the block recommendation, and even more in the replies. Fuck these idiots.
LISTEN.
He is on it. He gets it. And he tells it like every one of the Dem leadership should be telling it. Disagree on policy later. If our leaders don't stand up the way Newsom is, disagreeing publicly won't be legal any longer. And that's just a fact. The evidence is overwhelming.

“A five alarm fire for democracy” 🇺🇸 👇🏽Here’s the video @gavinnewsom.bsky.social just released asking Californians to “Vote YES November 4” to counter Trump’s election theft attempt in Texas.
If there was soooo much criming going on in D.C., they wouldn't be able to spare 100 officers to arrest one nonviolent guy not criming. They look pathetic.
Well, at least they'll be easy to spot. Dumbasses.
You know Trump watched this and heard every last word. He's got to be seething right now.
“.. California Governor Gavin Newsom speaks as he announces the redrawing of California's congressional maps, calling on voters to approve a ballot measure, in response to a similar move in Texas being supported by U.S. President Trump, in Los Angeles.” @reuters.com
And the gloves are OFF. Well done, Newsom.
Newsom: "Right outside, at this exact moment, are dozens and dozens of ICE agents. Do you think it's coincidental? ... people are scared ... you have a US Senator thrown on the ground. JD Vance -- his name is Alex Padilla, not Jose Padilla ... wake up, America."
Bylines Network has just got a blue tick! As has Full Fact and Declassified UK. Please make sure you’re following this full set of for-public-good alternative journalism. The MSM is failing us badly (esp on Gaza). So make sure you help build up the grassroots alternatives! 👇👇👇

Right take on this by Newsom.
Say it louder Newsom!!!!!
Over 100 ICE agents are outside Governor Newsom’s press conference in LA. Not an immigrant in sight. So you can mark your calendars for the exact day ICE became a militarized intimidation force.
Like him or not, he's one of the few who shows fearlessness to getting right in Trump's face and calling him out. Others with power and platform should follow this example.
Good answer.
Reporter: What’s going on with those posts on X that are clearly trolling the president? Newsom: I hope it’s a wake up call for the president. I’m just following his example. If you have issues with what I’m putting out, you sure as hell should have concerns with what he’s putting out
They survive on intimidation. Trump administration is being embarrassed by Newsome publicly insulting them on social media. So this is in part their response to that as well -- trying to reestablish dominance. Makes them look weak and petty. Probably won't help them in court either.
"Stand back and stand by." Trump, 9/29/20. "Now I'm the hunter." Trump, 6/18/25.
Most people don't get SSI without a lawyer, which is why so many disabled people aren't on it. Over 60% denial rate, regardless of eligibility status. Low-income people can't afford lawyers, hence 14% of low-income people with disabilities receiving it.
"Only about 14% of low-income individuals with disabling conditions receive SSI—meaning millions of Medicaid beneficiaries with serious functional limitations are misclassified as “non-disabled.”
The data they are using comes from American Enterprise Institute (biased) and is critiqued in link on next post. The crux is AEI defined disabled as anyone who receives SSI, therefore labeling millions of people as "slackers" if they don't receive SSI. 1/n
Given the amount of fecal matter they're exposed to through shared toileting and overcrowding, I suspect TB has probably started. Typhoid likely as well. Then there's the noncontagious but equally common typhus and malaria from insect bites.

I did look up the comms people from DHS and searched their names for background info. Quite a few are attached to right wing religious orgs and Claremont Institute, places that want the Bible to be foundation for the Constitution. 1/n
Guess what has gone up recently -- the number of children in foster care. But those who insist we create more kids to "save Western civilization" don't seem to want to talk about that.
The US is not/has not been "racing" against China. China is a bogeyman used to rile up the masses. The US government and its wealthy donors have worked with China regularly to maximize donor profits. Trump won't even tariff them now. If China is such the bogeyman, why is that?
No follow up to this post? Seems pretty important. When did they come? What posts were they complaining about? What did they say? Were you given any warning? Did they give you their names? Did you try to find out who they were afterwards?
