Florida lawmakers kill two birds with one stone: they abolish vaccine mandates for children, and they confirm their forthcoming status as a "right to die" state. Sadly, Floridians will soon discover that there is no dignity in death by easily-preventable diseases. #VaccinesWork #FollowTheScience
BREAKING: Fox News confirms that Donald Trump is f*cking Satan. #SouthPark
Chef Jose Andres has endured dangers of war and the deaths of his co-heroes in feeding the masses in times of disasters and war. He has done so much to help ease the ravages of disaster and war endured by the people of the world. He truly deserves a Nobel Peace Prize and the thanks of the world.
The only thing we've learned in 68+ years of battling racial injustice is this: Racism never dies-- when temporarily vanquished by good people, it hides its cowardly face, smoldering in the shadows, waiting for the opportunity to reinvent and reassert itself, causing more heartbreak and suffering.
#BelieveTheSurvivors #ReleaseAllTheEpsteinFilesNow
More frightening, on the subject of health care in general and vaccines in particular, our government has gone from a compassionate "fight to save them all" mentality to a Dickensian "let them die, and decrease the surplus population" point of view. No need to ask if billionaires are responsible.
Trying to drown out heart-breaking rape survivor testimony with low-flying Air Force planes strikes me as more of Stephen Miller's type of sadism than Trump's. Either way, it's a despicable act if done on purpose.
I can't imagine what these Epstein survivors have gone through (and are still going through), but having their testimony publicly derided as a "hoax" by the President of the United States (himself an adjudicated rapist) and his MAGA personality cult must feel like being violated all over again.
DEMOCRATS: Electricity is getting (much) more expensive. What is the majority (Republican) party prepared to do to ease this extraordinary burden on lower and middle class Americans? REPUBLICANS: Let them burn coal, and screw the environment.

READY, FIRE, AIM: Donald Trump has now appointed himself judge, jury and executioner in all matters of international law. This is what lawless tyrants and tinpot dictators do.
Epstein survivors say they’re compiling their own client list. “We know who abused us. We saw who came and went. This list will be survivor-led—for survivors”
Donald Trump has now appointed himself judge, jury and executioner in all matters of international law. This is what tyrants and tinpot dictators do.
Trump has always stiffed contractors, and he always will. He's a niggardly, small-souled miser. What makes on-duty National Guard members and veterans think that they would be treated any differently? Remember, he thinks of you all only as "suckers" and "losers". www.rawstory.com/trump-infuri...
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.
🚨Senior Federal Judge Breyer finds that Trump is attempting to illegally create a "national police force with the President as its chief" to deploy across the country, and is the first to put a stop to it. #PosseComitatusAct
Not me. When the time comes, I expect Trump to be either frog-marched out of the White House by U.S. marshals, or hauled out in a gilded casket. Either scenario works for me.
To anyone hoping for a surprise Trump resignation at tomorrow's 9/2 press conference at 2PM ET, it's highly doubtful this will happen. Expect nothing but more of the same tired Trump lies and braggadocio, related to the various international fiascoes he's gotten himself and the country mired in.
THE GOOD NEWS: Manufacturing is up in the United States. THE BAD NEWS: The only things actually being manufactured are bogus "national emergencies", by an authoritarian president with an unquenchable thirst for absolute power. www.rawstory.com/housing-cris...
I hope this good pup has had all his anti-fascist vaccinations. Biting people with so much hate roiling and boiling inside them can be hazardous to canine health.
What happens when a cowardly bully taunts and beats up smaller and weaker kids in the neighborhood? They get their big brothers involved, and send the bully running home like a whipped dog with his tail between his legs. Because nobody likes to be pushed around, shit on, coerced or threatened.
"Since his inauguration, Trump has exerted unfettered authority over pretty much anything and everything that tickles his fancy, caresses his ego or bloats his wealth. And he has been largely unchecked by Congress, whose Republican majority is his pathetic pep squad." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
#TrumpDidThis #Idiocracy
They promised they wouldn't touch vaccines, then fired every real scientist and replaced them with quacks. Now children are dying of whooping cough and measles is spreading. This isn't policy it's child sacrifice wrapped in the language of 'choice.' They're killing babies to own the libs
Trump may talk like a populist demagogue, but with the increasing, systematic deployment of anti-labor laws and policies in his second term, he's acting more like a Gilded Age robber baron.
Don't listen to anything Trump is saying (it's just lies), pay attention to everything he's doing (it's authoritarianism, without a doubt).
The Trump 2.0 authoritarian regime is actively seeking ways to neutralize all who dare to oppose their brutal police state. Whether "neutralize" is defined as "slander", "litigate", "imprison", "sicken" or "murder", they really couldn't care less. For fascists, the end always justifies the means.
Ron Desantis' Florida Highway Patrol officers have a new and critical patriotic mission: maintaining an eternal vigilance against crosswalks of color.
ANYTHING.
The party of “family values” is attacking our kids.
Never think that women of color being disproportionately affected by Trump 2.0 government "efficiency" efforts is a statistical fluke or a coincidence. There is method to this administration's misogynistic, white nationalist madness.
Greedy and unprincipled opportunists in U.S. politics and around the world keep submitting Trump's name for the Nobel Prize candidate list, hoping to curry favor with him, not heeding the well-known fact that loyalty to Trump is, without exception, a one-way street.
Trump is doing just fine, nothing to worry about.
THEY. WANT. US. TO. DIE.
On a list of people who should be considered for the Nobel Peace Prize, #TrumpIsDead last.
On the plus side, I'm glad that so many DOJ professionals are standing by their principles and defying a corrupt Trump administration by quitting it. On the negative side, the loss of each conscientious objector erodes the guardrails keeping us from the abyss of authoritarianism that much more.
Even if #TrumpIsDead, the American Fascist Party and mainstream media will never tell us. The Felon is too much of a white nationalist superhero and ratings cash cow for them. Expect a bizarre, extended "Weekend at Bernie's" charade as the Powers That Be scramble to stave off the inevitable.
J.D. Vance and the Trump administration are working to Make Americans Slaves Again. www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-make...
Shakespeare would have aptly referred to this Trump 2.0 administration as "a comedy of errors". You could die laughing.
How blinkered is Trump 2.0 in pursuit of their white-nationalist political agenda? They literally don't care if properties burn, as long as they can extrajudicially kidnap the "dangerous immigrants" who are working their asses off, selflessly risking their very lives to try and help other people.
And lo, an #idiocracy was prophesied.
SAW NO EVIL: Heart-breaking tragedies like the Minnesota shooting are bound to happen when an authoritarian regime devotes every iota of their energy and resources to pursuing a white nationalist political agenda, instead of equitably defending the lives, health and safety of all Americans.

Maine Republican senator Susan Collins delivers her usual, tediously predictable kabuki theater performance: full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
Hitler. Mussolini. Hussein. Gaddafi. Noriega. Amin. These were all authoritarian dictators, and not one of their regimes survives today. All had to be conquered by the forces of democracy, many at a horrendous cost to innocent human lives. Do we really want to destroy America this way? Do we???
Europe is opening its arms to U.S. academics being persecuted, censored and disenfranchised by an increasingly fascist, repressive and anti-intellectual Trump 2.0 administration. The mission? To save science, one researcher at a time. www.csmonitor.com/USA/Educatio...
If Trump deserves a single award during what already seems like 100 years of his two presidential terms, it will be for the most misogynistically unforgettable hot-mike quotation by a presidential candidate. #TrumpIsASexualPredator #ReleaseAlltheEpsteinFilesNOW
Millions of Americans who consider themselves principled "Christians" are literally worshiping at the cankles of a demented golden idol.
I've been living on this planet for almost seven decades, and my personal experience is that prayer rarely works unless people are willing to back up their faith and their belief with common-sense action. God helps those who help themselves. #NoMoreThoughtsAndPrayers #GunControlNow
At a cost of over a million dollars a day, these gardeners and groundskeepers working in Washington, DC are the most expensive city employees ever.
When our government lauds and celebrates criminal insurrectionists as war heroes, while threatening, persecuting and jailing actual patriots who are fighting to uphold rule of law, civil/human rights and the Constitution, it's a clear sign that we are no longer living in a free and fair democracy.
She was a criminal and now they are giving her the honors of an American hero at the same time that the Republicans in the House refuse to hang a plaque honoring the hundreds of Capitol Police that defended them. Just disgusting. thehill.com/policy/defen...
It seems it's never the right time to talk about people who molest and murder children-- but it's always the right time for MAGA Republicans to cover for them. #NoMoreThoughtsAndPrayers #GunControlNOW #ReleaseAllTheEpsteinFilesNOW
While Trump sends his deadly toy soldiers to invade blue cities and states, the real crime problem in Republican cities and states goes unaddressed, deflected and dismissed. The First Felon is lying about crime hot spots in America, like he lies about... well, everything.
Nothing is unsafe, risky, dangerous or treasonous if it puts billions of dollars into Trump's coffers. The golden rule for oligarchs and authoritarian dictators is always, "he who has the gold, makes the rules".
Law firms are finding out that Trump doesn't want to make a deal, or compromise-- he's out for total control at any cost, and once you blink, he'll never let you off the hook.
Thread. There is no "crime emergency" in blue cities and states, only the lies of a misogynistic, white nationalist president implacably opposed to women and people of color in positions of power.
Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her. Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.
A felon with 34 indictments for falsifying documents dismisses Fed Reserve governor Lisa Cook over unproven allegations of mortgage fraud. Let's be honest about why she's really being fired: for being an educated black woman who would dare stand up to a fascist dictator. apnews.com/article/fede...
"Mr. President, do not come to Chicago." Or New York. Or Los Angeles. Or any other city or state whose citizens' rights and freedoms you intend to infringe with extrajudicial military might, in your addled, half-baked grab for absolute power.
"The decision to deport Abrego Garcia to Uganda, a country to which he has no ties or history, was blocked, in part because there is nothing to prevent Uganda from simply deporting him back to El Salvador itself, allowing Trump to circumvent previous U.S. rulings." www.rawstory.com/kilmar-abreg...
Some good news Thank you Judge Fuck you TRUMP & ICE www.rawstory.com/kilmar-abreg... #SaveKilmar
Trump can't help showing his dictator boner to anyone unfortunate enough to have to engage with him.
Kamala was right about everything. Why didn't we listen? Because she was black, or because she was a woman, or maybe both? A republic built on a foundation of racism, misogyny and cruelty is doomed to failure. The sooner we acknowledge this, the sooner we'll be able to do something about it.
Making America Offensive Again.
Trump proving yet again that he understands science (and most other complex concepts not directly related to grifting) at the level of a third-grader. (Don't "@" me, third-graders)
If Trump should become severely incapacitated while in office (even more than he is now), expect a "Weekend at Bernie's" cover-up by the American Fascist Party that will put the movie to shame.
If it walks like a brownshirt, talks like a brownshirt, and violates your constitutional rights without cause or provocation... It's a brownshirt. Welcome to the American fascist police state.

When the Mafia does this, it's called a "running a protection racket". When Trump 2.0 does it, they're "building a sovereign wealth fund". Lipstick on a pig.
Fuck the Texas GOP.
Attacks against nuclear plants are potentially catastrophic for both sides. If a reactor is damaged, in the worst case the surrounding region could be poisoned and uninhabitable for millions of years. Regardless of who claims what territory, does either side want to take this risk? #Chernobyl
PUTIN GIFTS TRUMP PHOTOGRAPH OF ALASKA MEETING: It's so comforting to know that we have a U.S. president whose allegiance to murderous foreign dictators can be bought for the bargain price of a photo op and an 8x10 color glossy.

The Felon's face may be orange, but his favorite color is White.
Trump's quixotic tilting against windmills is not promoting any kind of efficiency or cost savings-- just knee-jerk, vindictive, multi-million-dollar wastefulness, from a man who hates wind turbines because he thinks they spoil the view of his golf courses.
Much like RFK Jr., the "experts" Trump 2.0 is appointing to important health care administrative positions are unqualified outliers, naysayers and kooks who choose to approach sickness and disease with thoughts, prayers and conspiracy theories, instead of with rigorous testing and scientific method.
Regardless of whether this is true, or just more Trump 2.0 government propaganda, the buried lede here is that U.S. lower- and middle-class taxpayers will pay every penny of that money out of our own pockets. #TariffsAreTaxes
"Nice multi-billion dollar tech company you've got here. It would be a real shame if anything happened to it."
I'm counting the days until the first innocent protesters get shot in the legs for the "crime" of exercising their First Amendment rights.
As a husband and father of two special-needs teachers who work with IEPs on a daily basis, I feel it's my duty to call out those government bean counters who believe that special needs kids are second-class citizens, undeserving of the extra attention we give them to help them succeed in life.
The MAGA Christian God is a vengeful god.
Criminal who has been charged with 91 felony counts, 34 indictments and 2 impeachments wants to explain the definition of the word "bad" to us.
The relentless, creeping erasure of LGBTQ rights, freedoms and protected status by the Trump 2.0 police state continues.
If Trump actually is the chief law enforcement officer, why doesn't he go after the pedophiles in the Epstein client list? 🤔#ReleaseAllTheEpsteinFilesNOW
I'm not a fan of John Bolton, but no one deserves this kind of baseless, trumped-up, government-abetted persecution simply for disagreeing with the narcissistic sociopath president and would-be dictator of a fascist police state.
A federal judge has given the Trump administration just 60 days to remove the facility’s fencing, lighting, and generators—rendering the facility unusable. trib.al/vey8K80
Most of the people #detained aren't "illegal." They're people with work permits, with #visas, in the #legal #refugee process... They certainly aren't the promised #criminals. But #MAGAs don't care. Apparently, it was never about legality. It's #racism and #hate. #antifascist #FightHate #HumanRights
Maternal health care should be a universal right, not a desperate decision determined by whether or not caregivers will face draconian legal consequences for providing it.
No matter what cutesy names fascists come up with, nothing can hide the fact that these are concentration camps, created explicitly to extrajudicially detain and imprison immigrants, minorities, homeless people, political opponents and other "undesirables" targeted by the Trump 2.0 police state.
"If you don't report it, it didn't happen" didn't work for COVID-19, and it won't work for slavery, the economy, infant mortality or any other incontrovertible facts that Trump 2.0 is trying to hide from the American people. Ignorance is not bliss, as much as fascists may claim otherwise.
The only thing more hilarious than hearing the Commander-in-Thief mangle the names of these warring countries would be asking him to find them on a global map. Every day, Trump finds new ways to embarrass America.
"For those not on the MAGA train, it's easy to see the painting as self-parody — Trump is not taming the chaos, but authoring it, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake as he transforms the republic into an inferno." www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...
