It’s September! The leaves are falling, the air is chilled and Congress is back. Ok, let’s see the Epstein files, Mr Speaker.

People are melting down at a Tribune article about CHSD 230 considering adding Arabic to its language learning electives. I wasted time in the comments, which I normally avoid doing since it's useless and awful, but it led to possibly the funniest thing anybody's ever said to me about France.
this is very good but trust me when I tell you you need to stick through this all the way to the end www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlR8...
I remember early November 2023. I think I was the first person on US mainstream media, while at MSNBC/Peacock, to say the G-word on TV. On my show. It was seen as hugely controversial then. It's controversial no longer. It's undeniable, irrefutable, the consensus view.
Remember when the MAGA crowd said it should be your choice whether to get the (very necessary and lifesaving) COVID vaccine? Guess what? They lied. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/w...
A comfortable life used to be the American Dream. Not being a financial mogul. Not fighting for the top spot on the food chain. Working to get your share of the pie with the whip cream on top. Grabbing enough food to fill your plate, but leaving plenty on the table for others. Let’s do that again.
A Florida court detained a US Citizen for being an "illegal immigrant." He showed the court proof of citizenship. The court agreed—& held him anyway. I criticized the ruling online & a Florida judge responded by trying to strip me of my law license. I fought back www.qasimrashid.com/p/a-florida-...

Way to rise up San Diego Labor Day ✊

Put on some Kiki’s delivery service for this cat stat
Literally just watched this episode
As Trump attacks unions and occupies our city, we’re called to remember how we got here. Labor Day would not exist without the workers who fought and died at the Haymarket Massacre and the Pullman Strike in Chicago. It’s not a coincidence he’s targeting Chicago:
Ghislaine Maxwell's deposition was not under oath. She was not video taped, which is very unusual for a deposition. And there are many cuts where they stopped the audio tapes so lawyers could confer with her off-the-record. None of that stuff is the way you do a deposition.
“I’m so not dead I’m sharing quotes from stuff that happened to me last millennium”
Portland, Maine crowd as Democratic US Senate candidate Graham Platner takes the stage today.
This was spotted on a protest sign today and is too good not to share. It is spot-on.
The lifetime return to college remains enormous: four years of study adds more than a million dollars to expected earnings. And that yields a funny conclusion that I like to remind my students about: It may not feel like it, but these might be the highest earning years of your career.
8 cops making over $100k each to arrest one man. But your food, water & air are killing you. Your daughter is carrying her rapist’s baby to term & will probably die when it becomes complicated & your veteran son in jail for being unhoused. But at least that Brown guy sitting on a bench is gone.🙄
Russian-occupied Luhansk. Due to a severe gasoline shortage in the city, widespread fuel theft from vehicle tanks has started. Fuel is being siphoned from parked cars.
Some new street art spotted in DC 🤣
Chicago strong! Resist! This is what democracy looks like.

Honestly, the hour-long run and march of people shouting “Free DC” up 14th Street today is the energy I needed this morning. I love you, DC.
They Tried to Sneak Out 600 Kids on a Holiday Weekend The government was loading Guatemalan minors, unaccompanied, some as young as 6-7.
So, is the president still MIA or what
The last time Donald Trump showed his face live in front of the press was Tuesday, August 26th, during a marathon three-hour cabinet meeting. Maybe all that staged roundtable praise from his sycophants was too much for him.
MASSIVE ICE SURGE COMING STARTING TOMORROW
my dad has taken up baking in retirement and, realizing he didn’t know his neighbors, started going door to door with fresh bread. he’s made tons of friends. a music producer who now invites him over to listen to old records. a guy in the final stages of a terminal illness who isn’t alone anymore.
More of this from the @libdems.org.uk Gloves off with Farage and Reform
We won't stop until they stop ✊🏽 East LA
Trying to give our taxpayer money to maniacs like these
Awfully young boy getting a chain wrapped around his waist here. These kids *appear* to have been deported with their mothers. So not the unaccompanied minors from the court case, though ICE may have intended to have unaccompanied minors on this flight before the judge stopped them.
Yeah, he's dead.
Anyway, I’m glad to know the president is still technically alive so he can watch this tomorrow www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
very direct evidence that video game piracy is important in the preservation of video games
Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them. Via @usa.streetsblog.org @nyc.streetsblog.org
I'm going on record. You don't cover up dead. He's not dead. However, he's sick as shit. That you can cover up for a bit. But just a bit. Mostly I hope he feels like absolute shit and is very scared of death. That I can work with.
U.S citizen temporarily detained by ICE says he regrets voting for Trump "We were brainwashed!"
If you’ve ever worried whether art matters. It does.
WHITE HOUSE AIDE: we need a distraction from the president being dead OTHER WHITE HOUSE AIDE: let’s kill Rudy
"The lunatics are running the asylum."
This was entertaining; however, it concerns me that these actions could lead to consequences for those inside.
I think it's time to discuss the 25th Amendment.
They are gonna have him signing executive orders like he's Stan Lee at his last show.
Where is the mainsteam media? Anyone out there? Can you hear me???
Yesterday, after enjoining DOJ/DHS from removing dozens of unaccompanied Guatemalan minors, Judge Sooknanan ordered DOJ to file 4 status reports *later that same day*—with a 5th still due this morning—to prove it complied. (“Presumption of regularity” is gone for this DOJ.) ... 1/2
Feel FREE to Re-post. ;)
We're pretty much at the point where I share everything @vermontgmg.bsky.social writes in his newsletter. Today's is no exception. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/it-s-time-...
Has any news outlet taken note of the question sweeping the internet about a narcissistic President's absence from the cameras?
And tonight's main feature for Samurai Sunday Cinema is.....Rashomon. Mifune and Kurosawa. #Filmsky
Just sayin’.
A Labor Day reminder: today there isn't a single city, metro area, or state in the U.S. where a full-time minimum-wage worker can afford a modest 2-bedroom apartment. Millions of people with jobs—even multiple jobs—aren't safe from homelessness in this country.
A mom who is a legal US citizen gets separated from her family by ICE GOONS after getting back home from a family vacation.
#HappyLaborDay , folks ! Your job is something you do – it isn't who you are. Whatever profession you have, you have all the rights of any other American. I believe that and I dream of a future in which we all believe that.
This is the kind of thing you post at 6:54 if you might be dead.
there’s just a lot of horrible stuff about America tied up in our relationships with our employers and this is a great example
This is the way. Mark abductions like graves.
Much like "crab", industrial music is constantly re-evolving from first principles basically anywhere where there's a bunch of metal and plastic laying about
It's curious how Rupert Murdoch and son's repeated secretive meetings with JD Vance, like this one in Montana, get huge coverage in London tabloids, but aren't reported or talked about at all in US media. Why is that? www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
IT’S ALL NATIVE LAND!
If this is the “strong leader” they keep selling us, why are they hiding him like Weekend at Bernie’s? 👀
Good use of scare quotes tbh
It’s all pretext. Sometimes they put effort into finding realistic pretext and sometimes they don’t bother
He jumped that gate like he was a crossing guard, terrible execution. White boy can't jump 😂
Woulda been nice if we had some contempt proceedings underway by now
This whole scenario feels like it's straight outta the government's Alien Enemies Act/J.G.G. playbook. In J.G.G., Boasberg entered TRO barring removal of named plaintiffs and set weekend emergency hearing on certification of class. But DHS started removing people just before/during hearing...
ICE procurement activity since August 22, totaling ~$19M. Companies highlighted in yellow are new to the "Who's Profiting from ICE?" map, available here: bit.ly/3TgUZEq Source: USAspending.gov
Wise advice to cities targeted or shall I say invaded by ICE Small towns are also seeing these unlawful kidnappings too Spread the word! All it takes to stop them is a few arrests Show the video to your local DA
President motorcade spotted with ambulance?
What a — excusez mon français, s’il te plait — a government shitshow of unfathomable proportions
He put chalk on his shoes then walked on the Pulse Memorial crosswalk. Police arrested him. But the court said they had no cause and he was released. The man arrested is now considering suing the state of Florida citing first amendment right violations.
I'm still waiting for the relentless onslaught of media demands for a press conference and calls to resign.
Maybe they reserved the real celebration for the other Putin decoy
If he were a Black woman on the Federal Reserve Board, this might be a serious matter
Once more for those in back: They were never going to be able to implement a mass deportation program without prioritizing people like this. Criminals and gang members are too hard to find and apprehend. Regular folks who show up to work, church, and their scheduled immigration appointments are not.
I thought this was an Onion headline but no. Please, please, please don't put the jedis in Andor.
Sure, bud. Those painkillers are making you feel good but its time to face reality. The sands of time are trickling down.....

I walked down Milwaukee from Damen to Ashland and back and ran into 15 people I know. I don't even live in this neighborhood!!! Chicagoans YEARN for open streets.
The new warrior class has new enemies: people who write funny slogan in chalk on sidewalks and little in the national parks. Not to mention the local landscapers and water boys.
giuliani is gonna sue the hell out of whoever painted a tunnel on that brick wall
Post a video of yourself with today’s newspaper saying this
JUST IN: Judge Sooknanan ordered the government to file a status report by 4 pm to address whether the children have been deplaned. DOJ blew the deadline. Now she orders them to show cause why they didn’t file the report in time — and sets new 6:30 pm deadline.
China isn’t the reason to build solar—it’s the reason we can’t afford to wait. While US nuclear flatlines, China’s solar has already rocketed past it. The lesson isn’t to copy them—it’s that the transition is happening at breakneck speed. Delay now means falling behind forever. ⚡☀️ #EnergyTransition
Creating false charges to arrest individuals from minority communities.
The United States is slipping from its place as a world leader. You can thank Trump for that.
