Today's a good day to learn Colbert found a new job. Hope it's a good one for everybody! #HappyLaborDay
Y'all are worried about bra straps showing, meanwhile in real life parents are waiting for the MICRO MINI SKIRT trend to DIE...😭
And all of these people should be arrested for helping in the human trafficking of children (which includes teens).
The Epstein Files: She was 17. A ballerina. Her mom was battling a brain tumor. Danielle Bensky was recruited into Jeffrey Epstein’s network, where she says there were eyewitnesses everywhere — housekeepers, security, friends, even a maid who walked her upstairs. #EpsteinTrump
Fake University. Wikipedia: "PragerU, is an American 501(c)(3) nonprofit advocacy group and media organization that creates content promoting conservative and capitalist viewpoints...Despite the name including the word "university", it is not an academic institution and does not confer degrees."
According to @epi.org, Black women are OVERREPRESENTED in the federal workforce. Black women makeup 9.2% to be exact. That's not an issue until you realize where the massive cuts are taking place and who tends to get cut from the workplace first. This is #TheDoubleTax. 🤷🏿♀️
The issue of Missing and Murdered Indigenous people, especially women, is one that continues to get less action than it demands. Both here, from Alaska to other states, and in Canada. And feckess Murkowski is again, feckless. If these were white women... www.propublica.org/article/alas...

Su: The BLS collects statistical information — things like the nation’s inflation rate, the unemployment rate, the number of jobs created, which industries are growing, and which are contracting. And on every one of those fronts, Trump is failing.
On this week’s episode of you should have listened to Black women….
Daily Reminder: Social Security is OUR money!
Why are you all talking about 2028 when everyone should be focused on the 2026 midterms? We have much more pressing work to be done in the next couple of months. Most people aren't political junkies or pay attention to politics except for what makes local news. Folks need to be educated about 2026😭
And yes, I also agree that this is another Project 2025 Trojan horse to push discriminatory policy against LGBTQ. I honestly believe that most of them are closeted, and the restriction is to stop their own addictions, but that's neither here nor there.😂
Thanks for sharing this link. Most parents are gonna be fine with banning online pornography of all kinds bc porn addiction in kids is real. Someone's gonna have to argue that adult content should be allowed, but out of the hands of children, and that it can be done successfully. Filters don't work.
I don't think porn should be freely accessible on the internet, but the industry has not done a good job keeping it away from kids and teens or keeping non-consent vids off of it. A better option would be if all ADULT content went behind paywalls again.
😂
Unless it's for something important, why are we using our real birthdates on any site? It's 2025...Just pick a birthday in 2000...
Why Isn't Donald Trump's Declining Health Being Covered by Corporate Media? Where are the op-eds & news programs calling for Trump's resignation due to his declining health, impaired abilities, & march towards fascism? Oh, yeah, "both sides" corporate journalism. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...
@LePapillonBlu2 Maya We are living in the dumbest timeline in human history. 😳

This is what a lot of men think marriage is, too. They assume that all holes are open all the time. And it's one of the reasons marriages end. Marriage is NOT sex on demand whenever ONE person wants it. She NEEDS TO GET HER OWN PLACE. NOW.
CHICAGO…
Where ARE all the voters and celebrities that said they were the same?🤔 If you protested against Harris or couldn't tell which candidate supported Fascism, you should be putting that same energy into protesting this administration because everything that has happened since Jan 20 is on them...
They have...who are you following? Are you following Dems in your state? Not just the folks that go viral on social media, but your local officials? Are you subscribed to their newsletters? Most politicians update their constituents if you join their mailing lists.
This part. Everyone should be taking notes from @ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social’s @mizzwelch.bsky.social
The Senate Minority Leader is elected by Democrats in Congress. Voters need to vote for Democrats who want a different type of leadership. Also, you have to be a registered Democrat in some states so if folks keep saying I'm "independent," then they can't help change the party🤷♀️
Unless you live in NY, what Jeffries or Schumer does really makes little difference. The people we need to hold accountable are the Senators and representatives from our own states. They will be the people who vote on whether Schumer or Jeffries stays in power bc we elect them.

I vaguely remember tweeting something like the country that effectively captures this free energy source at scale will rule the 21st century. whelp.
Them: “Cities are all rotting hellscapes!” Cities:
He has filled the most powerful vaccine advisory board at CDC with sycophants. He has placed a man who is opposed to COVID19 vaccines in charge of their approvals at FDA Their hands are tied, and they correctly refuse to “just follow orders”.
He is manipulating data and making absolutely horrific decisions without consulting some of the best experts in the world. They have no recourse. If you wish to rage at someone, may I suggest any Republican Senator. 2/3
Dear people who are saying that the CDC directors who quit yesterday should have “stayed and fought”, With all due respect, you do not grasp the magnitude of the problem of RFK Jr. He is asking them to do unethical and immoral things that will actively harm the people of the United States. 1/3
This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.
He wants all poor people to die. Vaccines won't go away. They will be reserved for those who can pay.

Angus: I’m saying we need to start building progressive media that people actually listen to. I’ll give you an example: MeidasTouch. Wherever I go in Canada, working-class people listen to MeidasTouch because they talk about what’s happening in a practical way. They give facts.
Newsom: Perhaps the president could deploy the National Guard in every corner of Mississippi. Murder rate is out of control there. And the governor may want to make that phone call.
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.
Remember how long it took to get the Aunt Jemima logo changed? Some people enjoy images that reinforce white supremacy and negative stereotypes of minorities.
Agreed, but that means accepting that some people do have more intersections than others. It's okay to be reminded that maybe you dont have it as bad as others do. It means using empathy for those who deal with more than you.
Well, the public has never cared about genocide before, so why would they start now? Gazans aren't more important than the Sudanese or Ethiopians. If you've been ignoring all that suffering and only care now, it just looks like a political game to shame Dems rather than the current dancing on graves
They had multiple town meetings to address the issue. Quiet as its kept, black people are law abiding, so no, they didn't just go and destroy someone else's property. They went straight to the company and local officials, and their concerns were ignored.
lol the liberal white women who argue that sexism is worse than racism have no idea how bad racism is. 🤷🏿♀️
"We've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas!"
😂 yeah it's time for buddy to log off...
How many times do the Exit polls from the last election need to be posted? At 70% of the US population, white people share the wealth of voter power, and over 50% of both white men and women who voted chose a Fascist. Some say that almost 50% of the 90 million that didn't vote were also white voters
Respectfully, but what do you think black people, black voter organizations, black politicians have been sounding the alarm about for the last 60 years? We've been waiting on the rest of America, and NOW everyone else is "concerned" about Fascism? White supremacy is the CALLING CARD of Fascism🙄
I would rather all porn/OF/etc just be behind paywalls and require a credit card.

There are still too many women supporting those flawed men. And they do so because they know that their men will bend the rules to ensure that they still have access to abortions and birth control. They think they will be the exception. I loathe that particular group with the heat of a 1000 suns😒
"but the Democratic candidate isn't promising to do everything I want and said Utopia isn't a realistic goal so I'm going to vote for Jill Stein or maybe the communist candidate if there is one" - Bluesky
A man, near the White House, who describes himself as a "retired disabled combat veteran," after burning an American flag tells bystanders "I am being detained because I expressed my First Amendment rights."
Walz: "It boggles my damn mind that in the midst of a military takeover of our cities, the flaunting of the rule of law, that the press finds the need to talk about, 'Oh, there's a division in the Dem Party.' There's a division in my damn house & we're still married and things are good. That's life"
But certain demographics of women keep voting for Republicans that have been clear the plan is to take away all women's rights. 🙄
So we're going with big words are hard? This is akin to "if we dont say covid, then covid doesn't exist." Let's not call it rape then...lets call it "boys will be boys." We have to call a thing a thing. Next, someone will say get rid of the word racism bc that hurts white peoples feelings.
In case anyone is still wondering why Bolton was raided
I don't know how anyone can tell who are real and who aren't, anymore. ICE agents, for example, don't have warrants, badges or ID. How are people supposed to know they're not fake?

🚨 California’s Democracy on the Line A new LA Times Berkeley IGS poll shows 48% of voters back Prop 50, 32% oppose, and 20% are undecided. Among regular voters, support rises to 55%. VC @jcfrias.bsky.social
They want us fighting so we never notice who is stealing from us all. Don’t get lost in the circus.
Neil deGrass Tyson: "How sad it must be believing that scientists, historians, scholars, economists, journalists devoted their entire lives to deceiving you, but a reality-TV star proven in court to be a lying felon is your beacon of truth & honesty"
But somehow Abbot got elected. That means enough Dems and Independents didn't bother or care enough to ensure that Gov. Hotwheels wouldn't win...

These far-left radical Jew hating activists disrupt Rep Wesley Bell TownHall. As I've said many times before about this white privilege anti-black terrorist who continuously attack Democrats members while giving the Trump regime a pass, THIS IS A DISTRACTION. to ignore the war on Black America.
THIS...losing a Walmart is not a bad thing...most people always end up overspending on things they don't need precisely bc it's a grocery store and department store combined. I prefer grocery stores so I can track my food costs. Walmart and Target muddy the waters.

Well, according to Republican CNN pundit Scott (running for office) Jennings, the streets are now safer for the TOURISTS who no longer want to visit and help sustain the local economy, and (according to Jennings) are MORE important than the tranquility and peace of the actual citizens of DC.
These fauxgressives have to earn Dem positions & endorsements. Reminder: every elex cycle that same group tell the world how much Dems suck/depress votes & have to inspire them & their votes. You created a one-way street with a dead end. No one wants to deal with bad faith actors anymore.

I think often about how Murdoch changed America forever. It's deep in the ecosystem now. And it might be trite but it's a line from Rocky that highlights it all. "He doesn't think it's a damn show. He thinks it's a damn fight." The He is the audience.
Correction: Full Beard
I remember when that male anchor was struggling with hair loss, and it was painfully obvious he was insecure about it bc of how he tried to hide it. Even though I don't watch CNN anymore, but happy to see that he embraced a bald head and goatee. It looks really good on him🤔
"I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was 12. Jesus, does anyone?" Today in 1986, Stand by Me was released in theaters.
Happy Anniversary my Dougie. You fill my heart with love and laughter — thank you for being the best partner in this adventure called life.
Anyone wanna place a bet that he has a history of violence towards women/girls in his life? If men commit violence against women and girls, along with language that expresses their hatred and violence toward women, then why can't they be charged with a HATE CRIME? FEMICIDE IS A HATE CRIME. 😒
Hope it closes👍 1. Cracker Barrel has the DRIEST biscuits next to Popeyes 2. Cracker Barrel has WATERY grits.🤮 3. And the most important: They should train their servers to be nicer to non white patrons and not blatantly ignore BLACK patrons. 🙅🏽♀️
