This is gorgeous, thank you so much for sharing it. Who is the artist?
Good morning and happy Tuesday to everyone. Many people are saying that Grab-Ass Grandpa’s announcement from the Oval Office at 2 p.m. today is a distraction from Wednesday’s press conference with 10 of Epstein’s victims. Well, duh. Thank you for your inattention on this matter.
Wonderful banner, too 💗Thank you for the good vibes
Looking for something to do this Labor Day weekend? It's a great time to head out to a #NationalPark and #SaveOurSigns! www.datarescueproject.org/save-our-sig...
LOL the writing in blue..his handlers must have shown up at the hospital PISSED OFF there were possibly altercations with the staff
2/ The thread led to a whole series of books that are both written and voiced by AI, published this summer, and with not just dubious but alarming content. Check out what the google search string for the publisher Alfson Pubber has in the ebook utility Overdrive
As a bizarre corollary to this, there is a proliferation of very low quality, AI generated books finding its way into digital libraries. I saw this when I searched for "Team of Rivals" by Doris Kearns Goodwin and found a second book OF THE EXACT TITLE by "Henry Montgomery", like a knock off 1/
Maybe Red state governors are sending their national guard to DC because they’d be safer there picking up trash than patrolling their own murder capitals.
Thank you!
😂
Exactly! I can't imagine his boss is going to be happy about this. Might make his blood pressure go up
Hope you feel better soon. This is one of our goofballs. Polka aka Derpnado aka Clowncar
Yes, it should. However, that would require an effective mainstream media in America — which we don’t currently have.
It's possible ... hear me out, here …. It may well be that these people lie their asses off whenever they exhale
Pfiz/Moderna/Novavx got billions of US taxpayers' dollars in grants to develop vaccines. They did and now they are selling them to foreign countries and their citizens are getting vaccinated for free. But, we, the people whose taxes paid for the development of the vaccines, can't get them here!
@npr.org She is not out yet PLEASE stop being a bullhorn for the governing by wishful edict "Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor received notification from the White House that she has been fired, and as a person of integrity and devoted to science, she will not resign," -- her lawyers
Trump Appointed Judge Reminds Him That He Is Not The King www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...
Gupta: Here’s why this matters: 1. Because the FDA indications have changed, if I prescribe it to you, I’m opening myself up to a lawsuit. He directly signals that… 2. A pharmacist is no longer able to prescribe and administer a COVID-19 booster that doesn’t meet indications.
RFK Jr is lying when he says everyone wants the COVID vaccine can still get it because of “shared clinical decision making.” He is threatening doctors legally if they prescribe the COVID vaccine off label.
This is really rough on the eyes. It perfectly conveys the rage i feel when I look at this tragic waste, and think about the legacy left to these assholes' children
"A corollary mistake was the very high level of generality at which major substantive issues were discussed". In other words, they were too stupid to say anything meaningful. This administration in a nutshell
CDC is no longer surveilling outbreaks caused by campylobacter, cyclospora, listeria, shigella, vibrio and Yersinia. What could go wrong?
I feel like a lot of us could use this reminder right about now.
Because who needs FEMA?
Deport them and ban them from travel in the EU. Ban their families and their businesses. Ban the financial sponsors of their businesses. Protect yourselves from the mafia state cancer our kakistocracy has imported from Putin
This is an attempt to create a personal army. It is indeed scary, but also reflects his own fear. Leaders governing with the will of the people do not need a coercive paramilitary force
Inside the federal courthouse in Washington, D.C., on Monday, tensions over the potential for federal overreach broke into open court.
Today we approach the 20th anniversary of Katrina, FEMA workers across the nation sound the alarm on unqualified leadership, interference w/ ability to execute, our mission,staff cuts & more. Join us in signing The Katrina Declaration. #katrinadeclaration www.standupforscience.net/fema-katrina...
DJT feels hot shame every single time Lisa Cook, Letitia James, Jasmine Crockett, or Ilhan Omar speaks. They use cogent sentences. They support their arguments with erudition and passion. They remind him how empty and profoundly ignorant he is. Such thin thin racist skin.
Between Kilmar Abrego Garcia and the DOJ official who tried to extort a plea out of him with threats of trafficking him to Uganda, there is someone who committed a crime. But that someone isn't Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
I'm with Sweeney. I think she should be free to fleece any Maggats with money left over from Trump's golden hams or Alex Jones' amway viagra
Wow, check out the body language of his bootlickers: (slaps knee)"Gosh Peepaw, you're so dang funny! Do you want another drink?"
That's O.K. We need to reclaim the flag for democracy anyway. We should burn MAGA hats
Trump wants to punish people for flag burning, alleging that burning the American flag “incites riots." Yet Peter Stager, the Jan. 6 rioter who got sentenced to 4 years in prison for assaulting a police officer with a flagpole, got pardoned by Trump on his first day in office.
Oppositional Defiance Syndrome is a silly way to run anything. If you know that burning a flag sends a powerful message, don’t blow that on “I’m angry at Trump for saying I can’t do it”. Use it on “the National Guard isn’t your private militia” or something else important.
The Republican response to scientific expertise in government is horrifying. This warning starkly reminds me of what Masha Gessen said about Trump's handling of Covid: "We could have imagined, but we could not have predicted, that (it) would render his arrogant ignorance lethal".

Our own Department of State has travel warnings in place for Uganda. This is willfully cruel and UnAmerican
If the fossil fuel industry didn’t have our president and corporate America by the throat, we could have nice things like this too.
apologies. should be two words
Genderqueer the fact that it's hidden speaks volumes
Thank you for your patriotic service to our nation. This is what it means to be an American
Republicans cannot win a fair and free election
A federal judge ordered that Alligator Alcatraz must be shut down in 60 days. Time to find out if the Supreme Court approves of concentration camps.
my poster in Christ, if you’re telling trans people to shut up about people who want them dead then WHO IS THE “WE” IN YOUR FIRST SENTENCE? in the kindest way possible delete this one and take a lap
A message from the Democrats: Our road to taking back the Senate…. 🗳️Vote All Republicans Out!🗳️

wondering what serious health warning is making him suddenly aware of mortality (and being covered up)
So psyched watching my mailbox this week!!!
Now the White House looks like "какаться". Oh, and tRump is a pedophile #EpsteinFiles #PedoPresident
what a tragic waste
my first reply was anger about the gold enshittification of the White House, but really the egregious racism of his decisions about the portraits makes me even madder
I know the weak/strong thing is core to fascism but it's so exhausting to experience in real time. Like these guys run on platforms of being manly men and then once elected all they do is talk about how they're afraid to walk through Kroger and we need machine gun robots in every 7/11.

Here outside the House chamber with folks chanting “LET HER OUT!”
YASSSS! More of this ✊🏼 #dc #arresttrump #notofascism
Brava! Collier is refusing to go quietly. The Texas Speaker required members to have permission slips to leave and to be accompanied by a parole officer if/when they left. So not only are the Texas Republicans violating these leaders' rights, they are criminalizing their exercise of process.
Please someone do this

Video of President Zelenskyy's meeting with European leaders in Washington.
Will definitely now occupy a part in my brain's cast of "wise but sardonic animal characters". Those ears!!
gorgeous photograph, thank you so much for sharing it 🌍💚
seriously, 👏 now more than ever💗
This is such an excellent breakdown of the costs of AI thanks for this post @bookshopghost.bsky.social
We are outraged and deeply distressed that armed federal agents came onto our campus—making arrests on the very ground where, in 1942, Japanese American families were forced to board buses bound for concentration camps. It was a deliberate act of provocation and intimidation.
Yeah, the entourage with Zelenskyy makes sense from a caution standpoint because 47's now desperate to please Putin. But I also wonder if it isn't Europe's version of the dementia assessment board, like behind the scenes Z is saying "you have to see this sh*t for yourself".
Meanwhile news providers who once didn't have paywalls are now off limits to many people, and huge conglomerates have decimated home-town newspapers. If Members of Congress really believe that a free press is essential to democracy it must be free from suppression by cost as well as by censorship.
Firing and demoralizing feminized jobs as enemies of the state while brazenly bribing men with violent jobs that almost instantly puts them into the middle of middle class is very basic gendered warfare. Fulfilling the manosphere’s promise.
The White House's memes about imprisonment, deportation, and death by alligator are designed to radicalize and desensitize. “What you have is this desire to get people to buy into the fun of sadism,” says Jason Stanley, an author who’s leaving the US because of “concerns over fascism.”
I remember a bunch of people losing their shit over companies getting ESG ratings that told investors if the company was having an environmentally negative impact or if the board wasn’t being transparent about its practices but I guess the allegiance to Trump meter is fine

The insult is to white Americans too. To all of us who love the country and who understand that Black history has powerful, sobering and inspiring lessons for every citizen of the USA. White folks you have to start claiming connection to the diversity of this nation. & wanting it/US to survive.
Stephen Miller tried to claim only real "Americans" built the Empire State Building, but he left out the true stories of the Indigenous ironworkers who actually did. The Mohawk Skywalkers helped shape America's skylines—and shatter the lie behind Miller’s whitewashed nostalgia.
No one is above the Law, not even our Supreme Court Justices! We need an enforceable Code of Ethics Now We need an enforceable Code of Ethics Now We need an enforceable Code of Ethics Now

Masked kidnappers from the Terminal Island staging area violently detain and illegally arrest Unión del Barrio member Amanda Trebach August 8, 2025
pretty sure "homeless" will encompass any people in the city for a protest who aren't checked into hotels. Which may also become throttled. This is yet another place where individual rights are rubbing up against weaponized and scapegoated cliches
This article made me tear up. It's very good, and it reaffirms my desire to be part of this legacy. Pain, yes, but riches too. We do this for ourselves and for those who come after. Go read.

A dozen or more transgender members of the U.S. Air Force who had sought early retirement to avoid being discharged for their gender identity have had those retirements canceled. Each has served between 15 and 18 years.
