When Rockies skated
They know they’re breaking the law. They also know the courts will be slow to call them out on it. Meanwhile they get to do their damage and get the military used to domestic incursions. This ruling should halt any plans they have to invade Chicago. It won’t.
This Day in Labor History: September 2, 1885. White miners in Rock Springs, Wyoming decided to exterminate the town’s entire Chinese community. Whites killed at least 28 Chinese miners in the Rock Springs Massacre. Let's talk about one of our great problems--the racism of the white working class!
Pussies settled rather than telling the truth in open court. Apparently $787 mill covers a lot of sins

REP. @yassaminansari.bsky.social on the bipartisan demand for the Epstein files: “This is the most corrupt administration in 🇺🇸 history, and this story shows it more than anything.”
This was when news reporting lost all sense of humanity&pride.No honesty,no apologies if something reported was incorrect.No shame, whatsoever,for who they hurt,who they sided with.They spoke like it was the gospel truth.Always biased with whoever,paid them the most bucks!They ALL worshipped money!

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

54 years ago today, the Pirates started an all minority lineup, the first in MLB history. Tomorrow, a PA historic marker will be dedicated near the site where the event happened, close to where Three Rivers Stadium once was.
Walk On. Thanks for your work and your diligence Mitakuye Oyasin
Lotta shit going on the daze but it’s time to getting back to marching forward with a smile on our face and defiance in our heart
Not
Rock on
Closer to reality than not
Didn’t Tony Hillerman once say you got to kill the book to make the movie. Yup I’d go nuts on a massive overhaul

We’re headed back to the Golden Age when America was great. Adds a whole new meaning to Labor Day don’t it
Mark Knoller knew everything. He was a one-of-a-kind White House correspondent and human encyclopedia. May his memory be an inspiration. www.cbsnews.com/news/mark-kn...
Today is the day in 1990 that we lost Stevie Ray Vaughan.
'Highway 61 Revisited' is the kind of music that plants a seed in your mind and then you have to hear it several times. And as you go over it you start to hear more and more things. He's done something that's left the whole field ridiculously in the back of him... -Phil Ochs)

Could pay for it with his golf money
They were putting their lives on the line, battling a 9,000 acre forest fire And then ICE arrested them We’re long past “getting the bad ones out” Now we’re at the “I don’t care if they’re keeping us safe, because our racist president says they’ve gotta go” stage of immigration enforcement

Until someone shoots up the Hamptons or a senators kid this has become irrelevant
Break out the Koolaide
America is the problem
A reminder for future generations….please don’t let this kind of music die out.

Ain’t that the truth

Back when America had journalists
One more time 👏👏👏
Bruce Springsteen released his third studio album, “Born to Run” on this day in 1975. It would become his breakthrough album. What are your thoughts on this album? What are your favourite tracks? #BruceSpringsteen
And yet 90 million decided not to vote. Voter suppression
Jim Richardson brought it all to life
John Shin, a well known and respected violinist from South Korea, who received Bachelor's and Master's degrees at the University of Utah for violin performance, was detained by ICE. John Shin has been a violinist and teaches students in Utah. He is being detained in Colorado.
People are going to shoot back, then what
People in West Baltimore and other gun toting communities got guns too. Somebody is bound to shoot back, then what
And leave them alone
It would unarm the massea
America was never great
He never was (is) anything but the puppet with someone else’s hand up his ass. But hell has a special place waiting
I’m shocked Trump didn’t block this. It’s exactly the kind of history he wants to whitewash. Thousands of pages dropped on how the DOJ, FBI, and Civil Rights Commission handled Emmett Till’s murder. REMINDER: It all began with a lie from a white woman that became a death sentence for a Black kid.

A reminder to do right because it’s the right thing to do
Shipping another prisoner to maximum security hell for criticizing her
End NFL collusion
Trusting anything Ghislaine Maxwell says is like trusting Jeffrey Dahmer to bring food to a potluck.
Here’s a news flash: Ghislaine Maxwell spoke with top DOJ officials over the course of two days in late July. Asked about President Trump, she said she had never witnessed him "in any inappropriate setting in any way."
It just goes right along with this shit: Ghislaine Maxwell spoke with top DOJ officials over the course of two days in late July. Asked about President Trump, she said she had never witnessed him "in any inappropriate setting in any way."
Gawd I hate this country: Ghislaine Maxwell spoke with top DOJ officials over the course of two days in late July. Asked about President Trump, she said she had never witnessed him "in any inappropriate setting in any way."
Yup
Marching into the weekend
You only try changing the rules if you think you're losing — and that's exactly what Texas Republicans are attempting to do. We want to give Californians the power this November to counter redistricting power grabs and stand for independently drawn maps in every state.
Texas Republicans are redistricting early at the behest of Donald Trump. The response by Democrats in California to counter-balance is being triggered by a blatant GOP plot to steal the 2026 midterms. This isn’t a race to the bottom. It’s a means of avoiding the bottom.
BREAKING: We're filing a petition for the immediate release of Mario Guevara, a journalist who is being detained by ICE because of his reporting on law enforcement activity. The First Amendment is clear: Journalists cannot be detained for doing their jobs.
Not to mention his 34 felony convictions with numerous rape allegations who’s not in prison only because Musk rigged the election and the Russians interfered in 2016
There’s a guy in the oval office with 34 felony convictions and no remorse yet real people get this even though she hasn’t been to trial Tennessee guard Ruby Whitehorn suspended for aggravated burglary and assault for kicking down a door to retrieve a stolen phone and passport.
I think Country Joe and The Fish ought to fire up the Super Bird for another flight: “….. Look up in the sky it’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s a man insane my president DJT ….”

I wish he would tell that last lie before crossing into hell
I think I’m going to vomit: Fox31 Owner Buying 9NEWS Parent Company, CEO Credits Trump. The Trump initiatives that CEO Perry Sook lauds resulted in the merger of Paramount Global with Skydance, which South Park creators called "a shitshow," and resulted in Stephen Colbert getting kicked off the air.
