The Trump Effect
Is he dead yet? Concerned citizens want to know.
Burn! š„š„š„
Still true.
NEW: Nadler will not seek re-election, citing the need for a new generation of leaders. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/n...
āUnder no circumstance will we accept interventions, interference, or any other act from abroad that is detrimental to the integrity, independence, and sovereignty of the country,ā Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said. https://to.pbs.org/46ipUHu
š„Happy Labor Day, Resisters! Tom Arnold just served a Labor Day roast of Trump, Epstein, RFK Jr, Mark Burnett and fake cancel culture. šŗA must-watch episode: youtu.be/-wwqiLAXBCY?...
BREAKING: Chicago just showed Trump what resistance looks like ā tens of thousands taking the streets, shoulder-to-shoulder, loud as hell. He thought he could bully this city? Nah. Wrong fucking move.
Fraud. Waste. Abuse. Our National Guardspeople are being treated disrespectfully in DC.
The moderation system here at Bluesky @safety.bsky.app is really amazing. An impersonator account scamming people was taken down within five minutes of reporting. The block function is nuclear. I can hide offensive replies, and even replies to replies. I truly feel safe here. Thank you @bsky.app
Rudy in an accident, trump in failing health. Satan is trying to call his children home!
Gosh I bet Jake Tapper is hard at work investigating the felonās health just like he did with Biden. Right Jake?
The presidentās military occupation of the capital has escalated in recent days into something not seen since British troops marched the streets of colonial Boston.
Portland, Maine crowd as Democratic US Senate candidate Graham Platner takes the stage today.
Woody Allen married his stepdaughter. He fits right into the pedo gang!
Gavin Newsom makes me laugh!
So I haven't broken 1K yet, i'm up to 31 kits/kids Please help if you can or share if you can't Remember every bit helps and Haitian kids really have nothing. #TheBoy and #ThePoet
This is the least transparent administration in history. That's human history. ALL of human history. Going back to the Mayans and Mesopotamians.
Two views of the White House.
Itās still early, but pretty good turnout so far for Bernie Sanders and Graham Platnerās (running against Susan Collins) rally here in Maine today.
LIVE footage of Austin, Texas āWorkers Over Billionairesā Trump protest today
Denver! Power to the People! Workerās Rights!
Albuquerque, NM turned out hard for Labor Day while Trump is hiding to play golf on the taxpayer dime.
CHICAGO is ready to meet its moment! Happy protest day! www.threads.com/@hollybsoren...
Protesters have started marching in downtown Atlanta.
Protesters have taken over the front of Trump Tower, chanting āDonald Trump has got to go!ā The message is clear: the public is done with corruption, lies, and MAGAās toxic grip on America.
Oliver knows his stuff!
That about covers it.
In addition to all the strangenesses, incongruities, and mystery, most majors on the Right - Elon, Loomer, Coulter, even his kids - are silent. None are addressing the seriously ill elephant in the room. These people wake up noisily defiant and go to sleep noisily contrary. Not a peep.
With a little bit of luck... they'll both be dead before it happens.
Sometimes it's best for some people to shut up!
Did you know that if you google for a list of social media sites, Bluesky is not on any list.

I don't like Bill Maher! Is he new? Many people have already said that already!
11-year-old boy fatally shot in Houston after 'ding dong ditch' doorbell-ringing prank, police say.
I have to say some people in the USA are so wicked. Who the hell would look at a 11 year old child and kill him over a prank?
Trump: I FEEL GREAT NOTHING IS WRONG HERE LOOK A PHOTO OF ME GOLFING FROM A WEEK AGO Giuliani: I WAS HELPING SOMEONE DONT SPREAD CONSPIRACY THEORIES ABOUT MY CAR WRECK Trump: EPSTEIN IS OVER HE DIED A LONG TIME AGO GET OVER IT Sure, guys.
Because nothing screams āqualified diplomatā like a guy whose entire foreign policy experience is yelling at women from his car. johnfugelsang.substack.com/p/trump-pick...
White supremacist troll with a Mel Gibson Avi. Lol.
The thing about Donald Trumpās health is heās still not off the hook for not releasing the Epstein Files
āI heard the same message from Pope Leo that I heard from Pope Francis, which is the desire to welcome all people, including LGBTQ people,ā the Rev. James Martin, S.J., told the AP. āIt was wonderful. It was very consoling and very encouraging and, frankly, a lot of fun.ā https://to.pbs.org/46hrN7l

Trump and Republicans attack unions because they know organized workers are powerful. But letās be clear: workers built this countryānot billionaires. (1/2)
On #LaborDay, I stand with every worker demanding fair pay, safe conditions, and respect on the job. The fight for dignity is far from over. (2/2)
I'm just gonna flip on some corporate media really quick... ABC: ads CNN: ads Back to CNN: Trump's Chicago "immigration enforcement" MSNBC: Protests in Chicago Back to ABC: A "federal judge getting in the way of Trump's immigration crackdown" Back to CNN: Weekend travel Nothing about Trump MIA
As RFK Jr. pushes to defund the CDC, the threat to public health grows. Steve Schmidt & Dr. Angela Rasmussen break down the CDCās role in defeating diseases like polio and explains the danger of anti-vaccine misinformation. Watch: youtu.be/ecSHbw3uFX8
A 1941 WPA road gang of migrant workers in New Mexico, many of whom were simultaneously working as farm laborers. Trump would have deported all of them.
It doesn't look like him. Could it be a fake Trump?

Harry Enten: Itās not just the base, itās the over all American public, and they have turned on tariffs. 60% of Americans now apposing new tariffs. 77% of Americans now agree they increase prices in the short term. Whatās the top reason Trump is doing a bad job? The economy and tariffs.

On this Labor Day, let us remember that it wasnāt the CEOs and billionaires who saved us during COVID-19. It was the janitors, nurses, cleaning crews, grocery and food workers with their hard, often invisible labor.
Happy Labor Day! California is proud to be ranked the #1 state for workers. Weāre leading the nation with strong wage standards, worker protections, and labor rights that make our communities, businesses, and families stronger.

I didnāt really need more evidence that RFK Jr is nuts and delusional.
āControl is the goalā
Words to remember. ššŗšø
Did he forget his dentures?
Sick and tired of him. Wherever he is... I hope they keep him there!
Over the last 5 days there have been more sightings of Bigfoot than Donald Trump.

Pam Bondi has destroyed the credibility of the DOJ. Really wish lawyers, would have the integrity and guts to say it out loud.
This is how they beat up on a minority they already despise to distract from guns being the #1 killer of US children. Pls read, comment, subscribe... johnfugelsang.substack.com/p/straight-w...
More than 1,000 protests are scheduled today all across America. Large crowds will be standing up to the Trump regime, and joining major unions for āWorkers Over Billionairesā events. More here:
This Labor Day, the WH released an exceptionally hyperbolic falsity, even for them. They said the US has generated $8T in tariff revenue (yes, that's $8,000,000,000,000) - AND hundreds of thousands new jobs (see last jobs report), accompanied by a stock photo of the current (possibly dead) president
'morning popeye!
September of 2023, President Joe Biden made history when he visited a picket line in Michigan as a show of loyalty to autoworkers who were striking for higher wages and cost-of-living increases. Biden was the first sitting president to appear on a picket line. Happy Labor Day!

www.politico.com/interactives... Refunds anyone? Trump had to do it by himself to demonstrate his power when he could have easily ordered his puppets in Congress to authorize it so it would be legal.
at the barest of minimums, we can all admit that something is fucking weird, right?

Visits to his properties in 2025: 99 days Days Spent Golfing 2025: 62 days But, please do go on @cnn.com about how he hasnāt taken a vacation yet.
The reason some people don't trust science has nothing to do with scientists. It has everything to do with listening to people like this worm-infested dysentery splat, who has no science background and makes money pushing anti-VAX misinformation.
The White House posts that the US has now taken in $8 Trillion in tariff revenue so far. Preposterous insane lies on an hourly basis.

September where we live and detail slight chill air summer's gone rain closed backdrops watch my fingers race creativity into print a quantity unseen in fair weather bookshelves recent gatherings not left unread city galleries recognize our searching treads again #poetry
Thank you, @theguardian.com for publishing a headline that tells the actual story, while all the other MSM outlets suggest this crazy nonsense is just a fait accompli for the dictator.
86 Candles š today for the wonderful LILY TOMLIN
Mike Johnson refuses to put up a plaque honoring Capitol Policeās sacrifice on Jan. 6. Yet, Ashley Babbitās family gets a $5M settlement & a full military honors funeral for her being part of a riotous mob trying to break into the House chamber. This countryās so fuct thanks to GOP enablers.
How did Rudy Guiliani fracture vertebrate when heās a spineless piece of shit?
Newsom is calling out Trump's BS every day - and we are so here for it! #ResistTrump
Yes, Trump is exhausting. Times are ugly/scary. He's pushing the limits. But don't let him beat you mentally. He's losing on immigration, tariffs, economy, Epstein, crime, his approval's cratering & part of MAGA's defected. He's flailing. He's not a 'dictator' who's 'winning'. DEMOCRACY is winning
Well, isn't this an idiotic headline... But... He doesn't need a vacation this summer BECAUSE he has golfed almost every weekend since January 20th!
