New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

What’s his deal? Is he completely divorced from reality and actually believes he’s doing something good or does he hate us all and wish us all dead??
All I’m thinking is - I hope Gavin Newsom’s press office is working this weekend!
First I dumped NYT. Next I dumped WaPo. Now, it’s Democracy Docket and … various independent journos.
Just heard about an acquaintance of a friend who is an Army ER Doc in Italy. He just got word that he is being deployed to... wait for it... Florida. wtf?
I think the characterization of Miller as one Grongott's goblins is most accurate.
I can
Pediatric Brain Cancer Group to Lose Federal Funding. A respected network of hospitals and cancer centers is halting enrollment in clinical trials for children with brain cancer after the federal government said it would no longer provide funding to the group. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/w...
JD Vance on Donald Trump: “I’m a Never Trump guy. I never liked him. I don’t think he’s the person. I don’t think he cares about folks. I think that he’s noxious and is leading the white working class to a very dark place.” { ht: @marcofoster.bsky.social }
I mean… why did you think Elon was really there? He snagged ALL of our most sensitive data and handed it off to Peter Thiel.
DR. MUSTAFA: “So we’re not allowed to film what’s going on, but 🇮🇱 is allowed to kill these children? That’s the rules we’re playing by? — Yes, I felt my life was in danger, but I’m not going to center myself on this. We have to center those kids in Gaza.”
CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @mluckovichajc)
Johnson just looks like a guy who's basement has a bunch of buried bones in it.
It's like giving the Nobel Peace Prize to the crazy guy who ate bath salts, ran around naked and chewed someone's face off.
I get it. They will quietly receive all the vaccines while the rest of us die of one damn plague or another.
So, that's a notch up from being "concerned".
Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.
#Pinks #ProudBlue If you live in GA., you better make sure you’re still registered to vote. Hundreds of thousands have been taken off the voter rolls, especially young black people. GOTV. ✊💙 georgiarecorder.com/briefs/georg...
Oh FFS. That's so dumb it hurts.
More and more I'm thinking CA should keep it's 80 billion that it gives to the Feds and do our own CA CDC.
Jess Piper wrote a great article a few weeks back about how Missouri is a test case of Project 2025. It was hard to read. Over the past two decades, the population has been dumbed down (terrible education), sick (health care isn't readily available), and poor. Check her out on Substack.

Don't tell the folks in my contemplative study group that I said this... but I hope he has crawled back under the rock that he slithered out from. It's where he rightfully belongs.
Sen Patty Murray (D-WA): “If there are any adults left in the White House, it’s well past time they face reality… We cannot let RFK Jr. burn what’s left of the CDC and our other critical health agencies to the ground—he must be fired.”
Can we save the critique/shredding of Newsom until later? Right now, he's the only one who is loudly and somewhat effectively fighting back. I have my own criticisms of the guy but they are back burner until we get through the immediate crisis.
1st - Stop Trump from consolidating power and permanently dismantling our democracy - so there is a real election in 2028 2nd - Run the most viable candidate in that election and WIN.
You don’t have to like Gavin Newsom And you don’t have to support him as the Democratic nominee in 2028 But-right now-with Trump threatening to become a dictator as our democracy precariously teeters on the edge of a precipice He’s one of the few Democrats who have offered a viable battle plan
RULE ABOUT AMERICAN FLAGS: If you burn the fabric part, you're looking at jail. But it you use the pole part to assault a police officer, you get a presidential pardon, praise, and some cash.
So, Project 2025, the abridged version, is we are all supposed to die - one way or another.
Those who have the power to stop mass shootings can go to hell with their "thoughts and prayers." Do something about it, you evil bastards.
same.
This is very bad news. Louisiana won't even defend its own map in SCOTUS. It abandoned its own Black voters. Those of us committed to defending the VRA are now entirely on our own. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
What's unhinged is to deny the tsunami of facts about Trump being a racist (oh oops) also a RAPIST.
How do we make this happen?
Jones responds to Ogles…
and they have abandoned any notion of personal dignity
🚨BREAKING: Third Circuit STRIKES DOWN Pennsylvania requirement that mail-in ballots that arrive in undated or misdated return envelopes be discarded. Court holds that Constitution requires they be counted. A big victory for our clients DSCC and DCCC and PA voters!
This seems insidious.
Meiselas: Stop both-sidesing it, media. Stop trying to sow division within the Democratic Party when we literally have military invasions into American cities, aided and abetted by red state governors, who, again, are the takers who wouldn't exist without the blue states
What a nitwit.
Constituent: You talked about abuses in the medicare and medicaid system and I found interesting that the president pardoned someone that defrauded the medicaid system for $1.3 billion
Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago: "If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."
She is the worst combination of stupidity and cruelty.
In addition to creating a joyous event, Zohran Mamdani just showed the stupidity of Fox News's "Crime is so bad in New York City, people are afraid to go out in the street or take the subway!!!"
MAGA is all about providing a safe haven for men who have failed at being men.
10 incels against one peacegul bermuda shorts wearing guy. These guys are both gross and pathetic.
Whoopsy
and their determination to protect powerful people who are also child rapists.
The fact that this administration is hell bent on punishing Kilmar Abrego Garcia while rewarding Ghislane Maxwell tells you all you need to know about their violent racism and misogyny.
There is clearly an avalanche of twisted sexual underpinnings to the whole MAGA movement.
The precise moment when and where in recent weeks America crossed that invisible line from democracy into authoritarianism can and will be debated by future historians, but it’s clear that the line itself has been crossed. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/america-ti...
Despite all the flag burning bs, Supreme Court bs, and Kilmar Abrego Garcia cruelty, do not forget ---👇👇
Donald Trump’s cruelty knows no bounds. Kilmar Abrego Garcia has a fundamental right to defend himself—a right guaranteed by our Constitution. But this administration is hellbent on stripping him of that right. It’s authoritarian and sick to the core.
Today I spoke with Kilmar Abrego Garcia. The courts & public outcry forced Trump to return him to MD, but Trump’s cronies keep lying about his case & are engaged in a malicious abuse of power to try to deport him to Uganda. As I told Kilmar, I won’t stop fighting for justice & due process for all:
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.
Some notes, from an airport, on this dumb performative decision, which is calculated to appeal to vapid totalitarian twats. /1 www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...
Oh... Ok. As a former Color Guard kid, I thought people were just completely ignorant about how to respect the flag. Now, I see, MAGA just makes up rules as they go along. This makes perfect sense.
Let’s be clear: deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda makes no sense—it’s not his home country. Nothing about this process has been fair. ICE is targeting him with cruelty. This is the weaponization of government, not justice.
This made me shudder.
I know this is not a unique observation but public health was basically created to deal with the Spanish flu, and then a century later COVID hit and killed twice as many people and our response was to destroy public health
KILMAR IN BALTIMORE: “Never lose hope. Promise me you’ll continue fight for freedom — not just for me, for everybody.” He was just taken into ICE custody.
I used to be a pie eyed patriot. I was proud to be an American. Now, it's nothing but shame as I watch decent people having their lives destroyed by overgrown schoolyard bully incels with license to hurt people. ICE: You. Are. Gross. and you are a case study in failed masculinity.
God forbid, anyone show any imagination or creativity...
“I was r*ped sometimes 3 times a day on that island… and I was not the only girl on that island… Ghislaine must die in prison, because I’ve been in hell and back for the last 17 years.” Listen to the survivors.
Our country has been captured by malignant forces.
Virginia Giuffre’s lawyer Sigrid McCawley reacts to the Maxwell transcripts, saying Maxwell “repeatedly and brazenly lied” to the government and is trying to “recreate history.” Full statement
Avelo Airlines deports people. Boycott them.
I can't help but think that the plan is to kill us all. One way or another.
Here’s what was NOT released today: - the proffer agreement between Maxwell and the DoJ - the agreement transferring Maxwell to club fed - communications showing who waived Maxwell’s sex offender status allowing her transfer and possible work assignments outside prison - the Epstein files
Stand with your neighbor!
If you find yourself repeating fascist threats and lies and bluster, you are only helping them. “They’re going to deport Kilmar to Uganda on Monday.” Shut the fuck up. No they’re not. They want you to think they’re invincible monsters. They’re not. They’re decaying pedophiles.
I really love the rubber mat for the crawl. Those old knees aren't very super anymore!
North Carolina Congressman Brad Knott (R), now serving his first term in office, has just made a killing on stock trading in office. Here's what happened.
🚨BREAKING: Hours after Texas passed its new map, my law firm has challenged it in federal court. In addition to violating the VRA, HB 4 violates the 14th Amendment because it unjustifiably considers race and partisanship as part of a voluntary, mid-cycle redistricting. @redistrictfdn.bsky.social
This is so important… Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles. In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected. REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency. @governor.ca.gov 🧵
@schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov @usrepjimmypanetta.bsky.social How do we rein this brutality in? This is NOT ACCEPTABLE for a so called "civilized" country.
I'm curious what you'd prefer to see happening? As for me, never a big Newsom fan, I'm really happy that he is shining a light on the madness. It moves the needle (a little) on my opinion of him because what he's doing is risky and I've never seen him as anything other than a politick kind of guy.
Exactly! “If you’ve got issues with what I’m putting out you sure as hell should have concerns with what he’s putting out as president “. #Pinks #Newsom youtube.com/shorts/t15da...
@usrepjimmypanetta.bsky.social @schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov @governor.ca.gov What can California do to help relieve the famine in Gaza?
@wck.org What can people do to help get food into Gaza?
What do we need to do to get some famine relief to Gaza? The world can't just sit back while this genocide is allowed to proceed.
@governor.ca.gov Please direct your comms team to talk about the Epstein files.
all the more reason to vote for him! Fox belongs in FL or maybe Alabama or Arkansas.
The craziest thing about this Cracker Barrel story is that Donald Trump was best friends with Jeffrey Epstein for decades and publicly admitted to trafficking young women to him out of Maralago.
We’ve posted about this before, but now it’s official a federal judge has made it clear: Alina Habba has been serving as New Jersey’s U.S. attorney without legal authority for over a month.
In normal times at least 4 would be subject to impeachment. The Trump 3 for perjuring themselves on Roe to win Senate confirmation, and Thomas for accepting millions in gifts.
Stay strong, Good People in the fight in TX!
The Farrah Fawcett hair is an interesting choice for a White House spokesperson. 😵💫
@netflix.com
The San Diego Food Bank does remarkable work, providing food to over 400,000 people each month. But this crucial work is now at risk because the GOP's Big Ugly Bill makes massive cuts to food assistance for the hungry.
It looks like a spirit halloween store display...
Help me understand what's happening with her right hand.
seriously, f that guyliner guy.
NEWS: DNC Chair Ken Martin says TX State Rep. Nicole Collier was threatened with a FELONY charge for speaking on a press call with him, Cory Booker, and Gavin Newsom.
