Canadian. Paying attention. "...when feeling decreases.. apathy increases, when one cannot affect or even genuinely touch another person, violence flares up as a daimonic necessity for contact, a mad drive forcing touch in the most direct way possible."

NYT reports TRUMP & MODI had a falling out because Modi wouldn’t back Trump’s lie that he brokered the India-Pakistan ceasefire — a lie 🇺🇸 media has let him get away with with even as India’s media has openly mocked him for it. Video: x.com/thetnholler/...
Netflix is putting its money where its mouth is: 💰 $2M to back Newsom in the redistricting fight 📺 A deal for Sesame Street — new episodes and the full archive free to watch. That’s how you pick a side.
VACCINES SAVES LIVES!!!!👍🇺🇸🥳
Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.
It’s ugly, but it needs to be made clear, that Elon Musk is a white supremacist and he will continue to use his ridiculously over-compensated wealth to bankroll any political party in predominantly white countries that promote white primacy. He is the living ghost of apartheids past.

Trump continues to pursue an imperial presidency. Here's what you need to know to be ready to follow events in court this week: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
Fifty-one of the 85 Federalist papers were written by a guy born in Nevis.
Trump limits National Guard assignments to 29 days at a time to keep the called up service members from getting healthcare and housing benefits while on duty. And the NG troops are catching on. Stereotypical Trump. Don't give those losers and suckers an extra dime. www.rawstory.com/trump-infuri...
Judge: I got a call at 2:36 a.m. because the govt chose this time on a holiday weekend to execute this plan. I have been up since then. I haven't been able to reach anyone from govt until this morning at 9:30 a.m. So absent this intervention, all children would already have been sent to Guatemala!
Yes, this is art! McQ is a budding artist.
Guy who wrote a book saying his mom is a junkie slag and his people are lazy trash thinks that everyone else should be more grateful
Promise tariffs ⟶ faff around ⟶ announce tariffs ⟶ pause tariffs ⟶ promise deals ⟶ court rules tariffs illegal ⟶ appeal ⟶ court order stayed ⟶ make no deals ⟶ 90 days expires ⟶ delay tariffs again ⟶ announce tariffs again ⟶ appeals court rules tariffs illegal again ⟶ you are here
@nealkatyal.bsky.social: “You’ve got the president who's imposed the largest tax increase on American consumers since 1993 … and he did it without Congress saying one word. That is not our constitutional structure.”
PLEASE SHARE THIS EVERYWHERE YOU CAN! WE MUST MAKE THIS UNDERSTOOD! THANKS! 💙
There is no party platform anymore. Just the whims of a madman and the agenda of his handlers.
regardless of what happens to the tariffs, they're doomed from the start because the average conservative holds all three of these positions at once: — virtue signals about supporting US manufacturing — against increasing the minimum wage — buys foreign imports because they're cheap
One day we will all relish in Stephen Miller's demise.
Hope SCOTUS enjoys being treated like Trump’s lapdog
BOOM. The federal appeals court rules Trump's tariffs illegal, because they are. There's no national emergency, and so the power to tariff a country rests with Congress. Trump admin has lost at every stage of the process, but stay tuned for the Supremes to chime in.
You know, if businesses raise wages or pay more tax they'll have to fire people! Ahem. (AAPL): $99.28 B profit margin 24.66% Tim Cook Salary 74M, 672x employee median pay (META): $71.507B profit margin 37.38% Zuckerberg 27.2M, 65x (AMZN): $70.623B profit margin 9.07%. CEO Jassy 40M, 43x

In 1988, Tom Waits won $2 million in a lawsuit against Frito Lay for using a sound-alike of his voice in a radio ad, thus creating a strong precedent for these future owners of Meta

CDC leaders on why the left: “I resigned because I could not be part of the weaponization of public health and CDC… we should always be questioning - but you shouldn’t have a preconceived idea before you have the data.”
We've launched a new D.C. campaign demanding that federal agents take off their masks — because public servants should face the public. Our posters and mobile billboard will be blanketing the District, demanding accountability.
An analysis of new campaign finance filings found that multiple billionaires and companies such as Airbnb and DoorDash have funneled more than $19 million into PACs with names such as 'Fix the City, Inc.' and 'Affordable New York' that support Cuomo or oppose Mamdani.
this "passion tax" appears all over the place & should be talked about more. you see it in book stores and game stores all the time excitement for particular work is constantly weaponized to depress wages & pit workers against each other
"It was not immediately clear if the order applies to all Palestinian officials."
AI’s primary function is to vacuum wealth up from below and move it to the top.
The state put up signs by the crosswalk in front of the Pulse Nightclub memorial saying defacing the roadway is illegal. At least Atlanta is doing the right thing and are refusing to heed to the idiocy calling for them to paint over their pride crosswalks. #USDemocracy
What's the odds that the shooter being someone who was groomed into detransitioning by the far right will make as many front pages? Will it even be reported or will they just stick with "tRAnS ShoOTeR" (yeah, I'm not holding out any hope that this will get a mention)
Unquestionably a war crime. I know we all have fatigue about this, but we have to keep saying it where we can until enough people get it.
Tell me this is a joke, please? Orwell, Huxley, Attwood. What about Snyder, On Tyranny - or do they just have a problem with "novels"?

There is no possible legitimate reason to do this. It’s what despots do. It’s petty. It’s dangerous. It’s unAmerican. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08...
LOL! that's us alright
They're now saying it out loud: The Administration's goal is to undo the political independence that Congress granted the Fed, so that the President can directly set rates.
Is that one hanging in an atrium anywhere yet? Momb's a wiz (feels like near time for new wtf is w all this sheet face of the week, i mean cmon what w all these sheeeet)
Brooke Rollins, head of the U.S. Department of Agriculture formally announced the proposed termination of a 2001 Forest Service rule known as the “Roadless Rule” in a news release Wednesday, setting off a 21-day public comment period that opens Friday and runs through Sept. 19. You can comment.
This doesn't MAGA or MAHA. The Roadless Rule prohibits road construction on 30% of Forest Service lands, protecting wildlife, animal migration corridors, watersheds and old-growth from human development and the environmental degradation that often follows. oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2025/08/28/t...
“And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men…” Jesus knew a performative motherfucker when he saw one.
You’ve only got a job in AI because they haven’t worked out how to replace you yet.
This is a real photograph of Washington, DC this week, where the United States president has ordered military occupation in peacetime, and ordered the display of colossal portraits of himself. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
a huge point that decorum-obsessed Democrats are missing is that everyone I know is literally boiling with rage 24/7 watching their country fall to fascism and desperately want to hear a politician acknowledge that and say "I am also angry"
All crimbs of love!
I love you too, you guys.
Amazing people using their earned experience for good. 💪🏼❤️✌🏼
“As well as sharing conspiracy theories, the account bearing [Trump nominee for BLS Commissioner, EJ] Antoni’s name repeatedly used violent rhetoric to declare how far it was willing to go to ensure Trump secured a second term in office.”

Six months ago. I meant it. Do it now if you haven’t.
Not American... thought they were bad cheese.
I'm just thinking of how hard Carney would laugh if anyone tried that with him. Hell, the whole country would laugh!
Making them wear high-visibility vests over camo is such a good joke you couldn’t write it

I've been listening to this insane cabinet meeting (going on 3 hours). After fawning, twisted Tulsi discussed how she would go after folks like this 👇 This is a dangerous group of people. They must all go. #WeAreDemocracy #UsDemocracy #Voices4Victory
So that’s just everyone then

Trump Has Forced Out Nearly 10% Of The Federal Workforce “We’re seeing the arson of our government,” warned Max Stier of Partnership for Public Service, which has been tracking people's lost jobs since January.
In case you were asking what all the bullshit about the logo was really about.
Imagine how this makes them feel.
I was worried they were starting to get it. It doesn’t appear that will happen anytime soon though.
Not tired of winning!🥳
The Supreme Court told him this with that terrible stupid immunity decision
I spoke to a tech activist attorney representing the parents of a teen who died by suicide, allegedly after receiving instructions on hanging himself from ChatGPT, in the first wrongful death suit against OpenAI. She believes we’re seeing a shift in public opinion on AI and can expect more suits.
The military occupied our domestic streets. ICE is grabbing people without due process. Democrats are labeled terrorists. The President says people want a dictator. Colleges, companies & law firms are forced to pay fealty money. Everything we thought would happen, happened.
“not a true Nazi” but “a snake of the lowest sort” hmm.
The daughters of Hermann Göring's aide - who refused for years to talk with art-theft investigators - put their home in Argentina up for sale, and GUESS WHAT.
i have done the math and this would be like oakland A's fans eating 9.2 hot dogs each
Following other divestments earlier in August (above), this week NBIM🇳🇴 announced it has excluded Caterpillar + 5 Israeli banking groups on ethics grounds. NBIM concluded that Israel is using CAT bulldozers to destroy Palestinian property in Gaza + West Bank. The fund’s Council on Ethics said there…
🚨 MAJOR BREAKING Democrat Catelin Drey FLIPS Iowa SD-1 — a district Trump won by 11.5 points in 2024 — defeating Republican Christopher Prosch in a landslide special election and breaking the GOP supermajority.
this stuff is such a disgrace. a free citizen of a free country should be ashamed to engage in it.
17 democratic senators voted to confirm this woman as labor secretary
The Fed fights back.
Howard Lutnick on CNBC indicates that the Trump administration will try to partially nationalize defense companies like Lockheed Martin
A careful study of every populist episode since 1900 finds catastrophic consequences, which play out slowly. On average, incomes fall behind by nearly 15% over 15 years. For the U.S., this is a cost of about $13k per person per year. Over a lifetime, that's million bucks.
Read my newsletter, Civil Discourse. No sugarcoating. We have work to do to keep the republic. joycevance.substack.com/p/only-monday
"f you look at the short list of people being considered for the Fed chair job, at least half of them are totally credible, serious economists. They're not necessarily the folks I'd choose, but they're very serious people. The bad news is that half of the group are charlatans."
A lot happened for a Monday. But there’s a common theme: Trump’s increasing openness about his power grab. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
"Europe relies on freely provided environmental and health-monitoring data from the US in planning for extreme weather events and long-term investment, but the Trump administration has proposed wide-ranging cuts in key science agencies, and NASA has signaled a step back from climate science."
What's grampa shooting for today... maybe minerals?
No-one knows how this ends. And so the narrative shifts from pointless tariff uncertainty to pointless monetary uncertainty, and none of this helps the American people.

Well, is that ever the best lolygagging / putterabowt music
Oh, good to hear that you were lucky too! I really thought they'd just be a regular thing for all of us. Was dreading them. They used to give me migraines. I've beaten the migraines since, but not sure if smoke would still trigger one.
If Trump were operating in the best interests of America's businesses, his move to fire Lisa Cook would cause stocks to shrug, or maybe rise. But they're saying: This is dangerous. This move serves Trump, but not America. Our economy is at risk when the President undermines the Fed.
Yes, the stakes here are large. Very large.
Trump fires Lisa Cook in an unprecedented move, and immediately the US dollar sinks against the Yen (in red), the Euro (teal), and the British Pound (purple). Stocks are also sorting it out, but down around a quarter point. Point is: Markets don't think this is move helps American business.
Reading an article titled "Why didn't Brazilian democracy die?" and a key part of the story is a Supreme Court that actually did its job
J.B. Pritzker smashing through the fascism wall like he's the Kool Aid Man
Agreed, which is why the lack of reporting on this has been frustrating. We need reporters to directly ask Trump who owns the 10% of Intel, where proceeds from that stake will be going, etc.
