at their core, trans rights, abortion rights, and vaccine rights are actually all the same issue: they’re all about bodily autonomy, and the willingness to concede any of them puts the others at risk.
this should become a thing, putting up signs like this for every arrest & disappearance in public spaces. it would likely break into lower info, less politically engaged demos and local social media groups
After a visit to Spain, I found some here with a 1.5 mg dose. I think even that strength is hard to get in Europe. Anyway, I experience fewer side effects but still get sleepy on that dosage.
If you visit Prague you can stand in that very room.

NPR: “A whistleblower says a former senior DOGE official now at the Social Security Administration copied the Social Security numbers, names & birthdays of over 300 million Americans to a private section of the agency's cloud lacking adequate security...” www.npr.org/2025/08/26/n...
I’m trying to imagine how angry I’d be if he was telling the truth and knew what causes autism and decided to keep quiet about it until September. Good thing I know he’s lying and I don’t have to waste my energy.
It’s vaccines, isn’t it? It’s gonna be vaccines. 🙄🙄🙄
What I'm looking for in the 2028 primary is someone who will put Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem in jail, and so far, that's Pritzker
I’ve started obsessing over my aging neck. Maybe it’s something in human nature to give us, dare I say it, a distraction?
Today I wrote about a general tendency to accept atrocious premises, and the need to reject fascism's false choices in order to find expansive and imaginative paths forward. Breaking the premise, embracing the obstacles, pursing everything. www.the-reframe.com/there-is-no-...
Participant—not eyewitness—according to survivors.
Blockity block block block!
This also explains the, “slavery wasn’t that bad” narrative currently going around.
Wait, what? They didn’t try outlawing abortion, eliminating health insurance, and removing maternity leave to solve the problem? Whatever can they be thinking?
The kidnappings will continue, and the labor shortages will continue, until people start to think it is reasonable to reinstate slavery to solve the problem.
I briefly lived on the French island of Martinique which (long before I got there) went back and forth between being French and English according to which country was currently banning slavery. Many Caribbean islands did the same. So t
White woman puts Mexican flag on her truck to waste ICE’s time.
That second photo is a banger. Jealous!
I really thought that you, Mr Dreyer, would go after him for saying, “we’ve declined murder”!
I am being overwhelmed by sketchy PAC fundraising requests, some through Act Blue. I get 6-7 a day. I block and delete but they just keep coming. I hate it because I can no longer tell what’s reputable and what’s not.
The license plates are probably fake, so remember that the VIN number is not. Always get a photo of that too.
TT, my favorite.
If you get off substack I would probably subscribe.
But that shit is (probably) real. The shit in the Oval is just stickers.
Trump has done a lot of authoritarian things this year and IMO none of them is as authoritarian as restricting opposition legislators’ right to travel freely.
“Kennedy would be less hazardous if he decided to do cardiac surgery. Then he would kill people only one at a time,” writes former CDC Director William Foege. www.statnews.com/2025/08/18/r...
Best response I’ve ever heard to unexpected pregnancy: a baby is always good news!
Lots of sympathy! I can sometimes solve it with allergy eyedrops (I don’t like to take allergy pills).
Don’t have em if you don’t want em is my motto.
Please don’t insult girls this way
The costs WILL spread to all of us.
thinking about how the CR that Schumer and Democrats let pass in March blew a $1.1 billion hole in DC's municipal budget, but we weren't supposed to worry about that because Republicans definitely agreed to pass a fix (that has not happened) Now Rs will cheer as Trump deploys troops on the streets
Their regular shoes with fur glued/staples/sewn onto the top.
He’s giving Alaska back, isn’t he?
Please ask California politicians to help this man and his family to a safe place. It is urgent. @padilla.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov ntorres35.bsky.social gavinnewsom.bsky.social
Here it is—we knew it was coming.
I disagree.
I don’t think this is the dig we think it is: MAGA voters are also cheaters and don’t think cheating is bad.
this gives the game away: "federal officials may well become suspicious if elite schools do not reduce admissions of Black and Latino students."
Disgusting
Zyrtec has some recently realized permanent (as I recall) side effects and many MDs are recommending that it not be taken anymore. Double check this before taking more.
No, but I remember “Either Kamala or Doug bought her fancy jewelry”.
Are there countries that have come back from that?
It’s the trees voting for the axe all over again.

Mofos like 👇🏾 always say the "DEMs" did nothing... No, the dumbass voters said punch me in the face for the 3x, cause we don't like the blacks leading us. Has nothing to do with DEMs, it's the voters' lack of accountability here. Them eggs, migrants, and pet stealers had them shooketh.
Tonight Trump illegally stripped collective bargaining rights from 400,000 workers without telling the governments lawyers.
The annoying spam texts destroying the Democratic brand: $678M raised through those spam tactics $282M to one consulting firm: Mothership Strategies. $11M to actual campaigns (1.6%) The party isn’t just treating donors like marks—it’s being fleeced itself yet continues to back Mothership.
The man who just fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics because their numbers supposedly weren’t accurate just claimed that he lowered drug prices in America by 1500%.
They’re starting to give the Catholic priesthood some competition!

I guess a stroke…well, I better not say.
The only Dems to *not* have voted to confirm one of Trump's nominees today: Blumenthal (D-CT) Blunt Rochester (D-DE) Booker (D-NJ) Lujan (D-NM) Markey (D-MA) Merkley (D-OR) Murphy (D-CT) Murray (D-WA) Padilla (D-CA) Sanders (I-VT) Van Hollen (D-MD) Warren (D-MA) Wyden (D-OR)
Sounds a lot like New Zealand to me.
🤣
And being racist
Do not let what happens next month (when she yells at you in horror over something trivial and slams a door) dim the glow of your baddie medal! Some moms never even get them. 😉
I propose to you that it’s entirely purposeful.
Also, the idea that they only wore subtle colors back then is false. They also didn’t paint all their houses white.
This is the costume designer’s way of letting us know who the characters are. Those jarring colors reflect Bertha’s personality. Right before the proposal I said to my husband, something’s going on with Marian because her costume was so diff from the norm for her. I stand by my statement.
I worked in a theater’s costume department and love fashion. It is extraordinarily well done.
The costumes should win a Nobel prize.
God you’re good.
So disappointed in my CA senators @padilla.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov
So true
Trump is like please hate these Black people. don’t worry about the Epstein files. you all hate Black people, remember?
The U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services is a direct threat to public health. "Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is planning to remove all the members of an advisory panel that determines what cancer screenings and other preventive health measures insurers must cover."
So he’d have to prove he doesn’t have a small penis?
Ditto
And hysterectomies
we are currently watching an entire political party run cover for the most notorious sex trafficking ring in modern human history
It’s going to be a woman who takes over the smoldering ruins. We always give those impossible jobs to women.
Time for another fundraiser. This weekend, I will donate $0.50 to @boltsmag.org AND @mississippifreepress.org for EACH of: - every new Bluesky follower I get - every new Bluesky follower THEY get - everyone who reposts this post Repost this, follow me, and follow both of them = I donate $4 total.
I am now thinking about the pediatrician who yelled at me that I needed to give Sudafed to my toddler even though I could tell it didn’t work. Turns out I was right!
WGBH building in Boston today
Raising the minimum wage ends the corporate giveaway. And that’s exactly why it hasn’t been raised in so long.
I really thought this was The Onion.
If you don’t live in California, you might be unaware of all the ICE mayhem. Here’s just part of the @latimes.com front page right now
It’s so hard to get Medicaid even as a citizen—the application process in many states is designed to discourage you. And that’s if you’re a U.S. citizen!
Ugh.
Brain injuries are a hell of a thing.
So Mamdani needs to prove what he’s saying because she fell for Trump’s lies? I suppose that’s progress if you look at it sideways and upside down.
Maybe newsprint will come back the way vinyl records have?
*observing a man being choked to death* listen man, I'm with you in your struggle but only if this stays completely peaceful
And yes, older than 30 and this has meaning.
Just popping in to say I appreciate how clear you are.
I’m not supposed to be happy about this, am I? 😁
Which means corporations are going to have a LOT OF LOW COST LABOR.
Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress are planning to write a $15 BILLION check to Meta simply for existing — paid for by cutting health care for millions of Americans. They care more about helping billionaire corporations than helping you.
I understand that desire and you deserve the right to control your life. I still think we will all be worse off without YOU. I understand that you need to do what works for you and I’m sorry if it sounded like I didn’t think you should own that decision, not that terrible man.
I really don’t know what you’re dealing with and I don’t know you but I am SURE the world would be a worse place without you. I wish you all the peace and freedom from fear.
It’s exactly like that!
Love to see it!
May I E agents receive what they deserve, I pray.

I felt so sorry for my UK friends, and now they are worried about my safety. 🤷🏼♀️
And put the student all alone in a room. (Schools have the facilities for this because of in house suspension policies.) Every field trip visits something “offensive” too. See how long this lasts.
