They envisioned Trump. They never envisioned Republicans.
WTF!?!? Maybe she's TWELVE?! @indivisible.org @moveon.org @50501movement.bsky.social in Seattle, PLEASE help shut down Avelo Airlines! THIS IS A KID! IT'S OUTRAGEGOUS!
And it's just a prop they put together, no less.
Young Frankenstein, hands down.
Yesssssss!
America is the bald eagle and America has had more than enough!
Someone needs to explain the Budapest memorandum to this stupid motherfucker. Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons at our urging. We gave them our word we would be there for them if it ever backfired. Now we’re throwing them under the bus. We are the villains in this story.
He's too foolish to even know what a sucker he is. Double whammy.
I understand why people believe Trump’s invasion of Washington DC is The Event but I think it’s more helpful to understand it as dialing up the heat on the boiling frog. Trump did this in LA. He’ll do it in D.C. with more boldness. And then he’ll do it again. Fascist takeover is never one event.
These stories are totally insane. CPS investigated a small-town Virginia mom *four* times for..letting her kids play outside unsupervised. That used to be called a "normal childhood." Absurd that we now require helicopter parenting by law. reason.com/2025/08/09/c...
Everyone bested Trump in every debate. Debates count for nothing.
An entire news crew working for Al Jazeera was killed by Israel as they sought to bring the world firsthand reporting from #Gaza. Among them was prominent journalist Anas Al-Sharif, who had been previously smeared and threatened by the IDF. #NotATarget Full statement: cpj.org/2025/08/isra...
The phrase "en route to golf course" adds so much to the headline. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
While President Trump has said issues related to abortion should be left to the states, the nominees, with lifetime appointments, would be in position to roll back abortion rights long after Trump leaves the White House. apnews.com/article/abor...
That kid is being traumatized for life, right there.
Someone forgot to take down this webpage: www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/v...
📢 PSA: 🧬 We all have mRNA — it’s how cells make the proteins we need to live. 💉 COVID-19 vaccine mRNA is lab-made 🏭, teaches your immune system 🛡️ to fight the virus, never enters the nucleus, and is gone in days ⏳.
🚨 Sources close to the DC mayor and police say, Trump will deploy 1,000 National Guard troops into D.C. tomorrow/Monday. • For context, Los Angeles is 502.7 square miles, and he deployed 4,000 troops there. • Washington, D.C. is only 68.3 square miles. This is what cities under siege look like.
A red meat allergy from tick bites is spreading – and the lone star tick isn’t the only alpha-gal carrier to worry about. theconversation.com/a-red-meat-a...
Missouri Democratic lawmakers are in such a superminority that they don’t even need to show up for laws to be passed in this state. An even sadder statement? A piece of legislation can go from the House to the Senate to becoming a law on the Governor’s desk while never being signed by a woman.
📌It's amazing how little attention this is getting, when it's crystal clear these anti-American, fascist Republicans would prefer nobody ever voted again. Pretend what the unrelenting backlash would have been had ANYBODY in the Biden administration posted this.
The Trump team is out there trying to normalize an utterly immoral sellout of UKR
House Democrats are probing the FBI's efforts to locate Texas Dems who left the state to block the GOP's gerrymandered congressional map — saying the effort's an "abuse of federal public safety resources for completely political purposes and without a law enforcement rationale." tinyurl.com/munkty6m
The press freedom crisis in America isn't only billionaires bowing down at big outlets like CBS, the Post. In L.A., elsewhere, indie journalists at protests are getting beat up or arrested by cops, a chilling sign of an authoritarian U.S. police state My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/los-...
Emiliano’s restaurant posted that federal agents "stormed our restaurant…tore through our spaces, & left behind a trail of fear, confusion & destruction. Our kitchens were flipped. Our walk-ins emptied. Food trashed. Doors broken. Lives shattered." www.wtae.com/article/emil...
OK, a few things on this absurdity: 1. The 2020 Census was conducted by the Trump administration. 2. The only systematic results of undercounts that the Census has acknowledged were undercounting communities of color in almost all states.
Trump is normalizing authoritarian behavior. He will unleash all law enforcement to ensure he stays in power. People still aren't paying attention. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
I just paid $3.38 for a small cup of diner coffee. Not Starbucks. Not Dunkin. A “cheap” cup of *diner* coffee. That’s what tariffs do. They are a giant sales tax. No one is talking about it as such.
Reposted w/correct numbers! Whatever you’ve been doing, STOP & LISTEN (read). This is happening on our soil in our name paid for with our tax dollars. Every one of us should call our House members & Senators. 202-224-3121 And flood the call lines to Gov. DeSantis’ office: 850-717-9337
This is like the insurrectionists seizing our capital. Something approaching martial law in Washington. He wants to turn D.C. into an armed fortress because he wants Democratic politicians to feel like they're in his house, he wants to subjugate Black citizens, and he's preparing for martial law.
South Park clapped back at Kristi Noem’s “sexist” claim by changing their profile photo. 👀
This shouldn't be happening anywhere, but it's maddening to know women who fought for our country could be left to die if they have an ectopic pregnancy. This is not about babies. It's only about harming women if you'd leave them to die from pregnancies that aren't even viable.
Headline writer finally gets it right: ‘Extortion’: Newsom Threatens to Sue After Trump Fines UCLA $1 Billion www.kqed.org/news/1205152...
The CDC thing has me really fucked up. I can’t tell you how much stochastic terrorism driven by Covid disinformation has been a concern in every workplace I’ve been in since 2020. And seeing this play out, I’m realizing it just blends into “another day in the insanity!” for all of you. Fuck me, man.
More on the Worst People: FBI Director Kash Patel fired the acclaimed veteran FBI agent Walter Giardina, a Marine combat veteran whose wife died of cancer last month at age 49.
If the federal government can simply seize privately held patents then that is the end of the U.S. patent system, the legal basis for American innovation.
An executive order signed by President Trump aims to give political appointees power over the billions of dollars in grants awarded by federal agencies. Scientists say it undermines the process that made the U.S. the world leader in research and development. apnews.com/article/trum...
I think a lot of Americans believe their country is the one they learned about in school. They haven’t grasped the fact that it’s well on the way to becoming a Christofascist dictatorship.
Four CDC buildings shot up. Employees under lockdown and in fear for hours. Public health is physically under attack, and the silence from the administration is deafening.
Well, this is, indeed, really fucking bad
JUST IN: Texas Democrats fired their first legal volley against Gov. Abbott's bid to remove them from office. Rep. Gene Wu said the TX constitution permits only the legislature to remove its own members — and that Abbot's bid was full of other holes too. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/26...
Trumpers don't want to forget the proud legacy of those who fought to the death for the "right" to own others. They would, however, prefer to forget the painful legacy of slavery.
Yes. We need to view this through the lens of mental illness. There is nothing normal about any of this.
I'm still waiting for California, NY, Illinois and other blue states to gerrymander their states. What the hell are they waiting for? Support for Democrats has slipped because people feel they never do anything. They want fighters not negotiators.
Remember when Trump’s CEA chair, Stephen Miran, assured us that his policies would cause the dollar to rise, thereby softening the extent to which tariff-fuelled higher prices boost inflation and undermine purchasing power?
What's really in the Japan trade deal?
But not all of it. www.washingtonpost.com/entertainmen...
"Beattie, Elez, Hochman, and all other D.C. staffers of their ilk should be met with a constant barrage of interview and FOIA requests intended to track every aspect of their malignant influence." www.liberalcurrents.com/nobody-cares...
In the same days Israel's genocide has reached even darker levels, a Palestinian-American politician (whose family has been displaced by Israeli colonialism) dared to criticize Zionism. And now national Democratic-aligned figures are attacking him for it. @zeteo.com
I think that one reason very-online people are more freaked out by Trump Administration appointees is that they are familiar to us as reply guys — just sheer bullshit spewers, ignorant know-it-alls.
Friendly reminder that school administrators tend to take complaints from parents much more seriously than the same complaints from teachers. So if your kids’ school district is using PragerU stuff, please speak up.
NEW: Rep. Gene Wu has filed his response to Gov. Greg Abbott's suit to remove him from office on grounds that he “abandoned” his office by leaving the state for the purpose of breaking quorum to block Republican's redistricting effort. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...
LOL bananas! Sounds about right.
These House Dems are having an AIPAC-funded smiling vacation in a country currently bombing and starving millions of people with weapons they voted to send to that country. Truly sickening. Stomach-churning. Ghouls.
FBI significantly increasing size of terrorist watch list, including addition of supposed gang members, family members, and associates, as revealed in new intel docs we obtained and shared w/ @reuters.com. #FOIA
These two clowns are seriously damaging global science. Neither RFK Jr, once afflicted w/ brain worms, nor his boss, who smears orange goo all over his face daily, have a clue regarding the destruction they've created. Even Einstein questioned facts—but there’s a method to it👇
Thank you @timmiller.bsky.social for staying on this! Can’t wait to listen!
Per Trump’s request: Judge to consider dissolving a policy that limits how long CBP can hold immigrant children and requires them to be kept in safe, sanitary conditions. This policy also allows third-party inspections of these CBP facilities to ensure compliance. apnews.com/article/trum...
A federal appeals court has shut down a district judge’s effort to determine whether Trump administration officials committed criminal contempt by flying Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador in defiance of a court order.
Critics worry that steering veterans to private care facilities drains federal money from the VA health system. But supporters say veterans shouldn't be forced to travel long distances or wait months for the treatment they could obtain at local hospitals and clinics. www.npr.org/sections/sho...
Please remember: you will never have enough time with the people you love. You will always want more. Make the time you do have together count. Your last interaction could be the final one. Treasure one another.
Hey VA Secretary Doug Collins, this you? Were you telling the truth during your hearing or do you just not care about the rights of workers at the VA? America’s unions will fight this disgusting union busting—we’re not going anywhere.
They’re not arresting criminals. They’re arresting resistance. And if that doesn’t shake you, read this twice.👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com
Fox News hosts are furious that Big Balls and Holly got beat up and people just filmed it instead of intervening. “Who stands there and watches as someone gets attacked?” These same people are perfectly fine with ICE kidnappings.
MVM, the contractor under Trump 1.0 caught holding unaccompanied children in an office building and making them bathe in the sink, is at it again; this time they held a woman and her son at a hotel for days, incommunicado, despite the ICE locator claiming she was detained multiple states away.
Maybe we should have the FBI and DHS on this instead of rounding up construction workers and food cart vendors
You can see some of this demolition work in action in another aerial vid, shared at the start of August by one of the contractors involved. (This one starts around here: 31.534503, 34.536026)
A new executive order declares that the government will only buy AI models that are neutral and nonpartisan, but in reality, the policy would require technology companies to conform to the administration’s ideology. bit.ly/4lYZkbR
Brutal episode of South Park!
I can't think of a better illustration of the argument that law enforcement in America is not about enforcing the law but enforcing the will of those with the most power.

Unions are what gave the United States a middle class. He is undoing everything that has made America a great country.
The US government DOE report repeats lies about sea-level rise not accelerating. But the data show acceleration: locally and globally. Reason: ice melts faster the warmer it gets. You can check this with ice cubes from your freezer. Do media ask for corrections? tamino.wordpress.com/2025/08/05/u...
The highest levels of the Trump administration are collaborating with the FBI and DOJ to cover-up evidence the President committed sexual crimes against children. Unspeakably corrupt, and not a single Republican in Congress can be expected to speak out against it.
Literally millions will die because of the shuttering of USAID (for all of its faults). Millions more will die (versus the policy status quo) if we undermine progress in creating new mRNA vaccines, which could save us during the next pandemic and much more.
Putting the probability of a sizable international boycott of the Los Angeles games at about one in three.

Thanks for the belly laugh, I didn't see that coming! 🤣
Berman: Was the President right about the polling? Enten: No. If we are comparing him to other presidents at this point in their presidencies, he is the second lowest on record compared only to himself.
A woman who graduated from my high school was detained by ICE after a visa renewal hearing. She was transferred to Louisiana and now, according to this report, to parts unknown. Outrageous. abc7ny.com/post/scarsda...
Experts say a lack of data is making it harder to track COVID-19 in real time, but the available information indicates the expected seasonal wave is happening. thehill.com/policy/healt...
Using a FLIR thermal camera, AccuWeather tested a local playground and found temperatures as high as 164 degtees F on a plastic slide, on a late-July day in Penn. This is far above the temperature threshold of 122 degrees for a third-degree burn. www.upi.com/Top_News/US/...
No reading of 10th amendment jurisprudence is consistent with this: 1. Condition does not relate at all to FEMA's mission 2. The degree of financial pressure here is consistent with coercion 3. States do not have a genuine choice to refuse the condition + aid. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...
Finally, a united nation.
Wait, WHAT???
“Groceries.”
BREAKING LEGAL NEWS: A federal district court has ruled that an Arkansas law requiring the Ten Commandments to be posted in every public-school classroom and library is "plainly unconstitutional."
Wow, those are sentences I never wanted to read.
Patriots: "Its services will be free to those looking to push back on Trump’s use of executive power... Zelinsky told CNN in a phone call that their group stand[s] out because of the number of people who have come out of retirement to work for the firm."
Meta fired its fact-checkers, citing concerns of liberal bias, and replaced them with a version of X's "Community Notes." How's that going? Well, my coworker @geoffreyfowler.bsky.social proposed 65 fact-checks debunking false posts... and only 3 got approved. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...
Entertainment at Trump’s New Jersey golf club this weekend
Technically, that is "limited government" I guess.
I have been the subject of many spurious accusations and politically motivated attacks, but this one is in a class by itself. According to Tulsi Gabbard — the nation’s top intelligence official — my refusal to post on Twitter is being reviewed by the Department of Justice as evidence of wrongdoing.
As a reminder, juries are composed of real people who are asked to put their real lives on hold to handle this civic duty. Making them pony to this nonsense is violating their rights. www.cnn.com/2025/08/04/p...
The Trump administration's decision to abandon lawsuits challenging civil rights violations in carceral facilities leaves incarcerated people vulnerable to more abuse. The Department of Justice has a responsibility to defend the rights of incarcerated people.
