Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:
Let's give a shout out to the men & women who labor in the fields to put food on our tables. #WeFeedYou #LaborDay. Mandemosle un saludo a los hombres y mujeres que trabajan en el campo para poner comida en nuestras mesas. Thank you Ignacio Gomez for letting us use this art
This “explicit” is a weird editorial choice. The constitution gives the president no power over this at all. It’s not ambiguous.
They're releasing the Epstein files?
remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature
Stephen Manning, this guy’s lawyer, is one of the best in the country. It’s very good news that he’s taken this case.
ATLANTA: “The city is opening a grocery store to clear up a downtown food desert… City leaders say the market will help those in the area who have not previously had easy access to healthy food.” (cc: everyone acting like @ZohranKMamdani is crazy🤔) www.wsbtv.com/news/local/a...
After watching and reading comments about the horrific Minnesota shooting, it appears most Americans people missed our stories about the secret roots to the madness. I pray this repost helps. www.propublica.org/article/gunm...
Why?
If those pumpkin spice lattes didn't make me gag before, this would surely do it.
Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says frozen Russian assets shouldn’t be immediately confiscated, calling them a negotiation tool with Putin. The question remains: who gave Bessent the authority to bargain with assets meant for Ukraine’s recovery?
Pretending not to hear the whole room chanting “shame” at her is the most Susan Collins things ever
How did a functional, if flawed, democratic machinery hand absolute power over to Hitler, someone whom the conservative political class regarded as a chaotic clown with a violent following?
It’s official. September 6th. From all across this nation. We march in D.C. Join us.
Antifa is everywhere.
A big trouble with navigating this political moment is that, on the one hand, the Trump administration has clearly overthrown the constitutional order and we are no longer anything like a free republic, but on the other, it feels like the wheels are already coming off the administration.
Trump’s America is starting to look a lot like Mao’s China.

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1970: As many as 20,000 women protest in the Women’s Strike for Equality in New York City, with more throughout the U.S. The event was held on the 50th anniversary of the certification of the 19th Amendment, giving women the constitutional right to vote. /1
A woman’s right to vote, inviolable for 105 years, right? Reminder, 2016 Republican Convention Speaker Abby Johnson, supported Household Voting w/the one household vote belonging to men. The same Christian Nationalist agenda is supported by Hegseth. But hey, like Roe, that won’t ever change, right?
Open dictator talk. No kings.
It goes without saying, but this is against everything this country was founded on

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...
If the Democrats fuck this up, it's over.
It's high time for us to consider that we Americans owe our Constitution and democratic heritage far more than our fortunes and sacred honor.
New Executive Order (Aug. 25, 2025) - despite its name - reaches far beyond DC in potential use of the U.S. military inside and across the United States. Link: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential... Highlight of some key provisions⬇️

And he has all that uncontrollable rage about nearly everything, on top of it.
TRUMP: “A lot of people are saying maybe we’d like a dictator.” He’s saying it. Are you listening? 🇺🇸
When is the GOP going to admit the fact Trump is out of control, has lost all sense of decency for the office, with dementia in full swing, and is unable to function as POTUS? It is mindboggling what they have allowed. Hey, GOP, like Dorothy YOU HAVE HAD THE POWER ALL ALONG. USE IT!
@gtconway.bsky.social liked two of my reposts! Am I famous now? (Inquiring Minds Want to Know.)
Garcia: What we got was complete bullshit. We demanded the full Epstein files, and that’s not what was sent over. The White House cover-up clearly continues. What they sent us was 33,000 pages of documents that have already been in the public domain.
ICE detains husband of Democratic congressional candidate—who is also a disabled U.S. Army veteran. He is wheelchair bound—after suffering severe injury during training for deployment in Iraq. Agents arrested him at his naturalization hearing—he is already a green card holder.
ICYMI: Trump says his administration won't approve any wind or solar power projects. Reminder that Big Oil spent nearly $100M to get Trump elected in 2024. It's a huge payoff for his corporate donors at the expense of a livable planet.
Trump makes stupid and easily explained and illustrated unforced error by going after the de minimis tariff exemption, affecting tens of millions of “ordinary Americans.” Democrats (so far as I can tell): 🦗🦗🦗. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...
My first reaction seeing Lavrov on US TV is why are they platforming his propaganda? But actually it turned out to be pretty useful because Americans get to hear their real position - all the despicably & intransigence - while Trump & Vance are claiming they are being reasonable.
My name is Captain Dylan Blaha, and this message is for members of the National Guard across the USA. I've served in the Illinois Army National Guard for over 12 years, including a deployment to Afghanistan and three years on active duty in Europe. What's going on right now is not normal.
This is great: a National Guardsman standing up to say every member of the National Guard and military "is legally obliged to disobey an illegal order."
Did she not correct him at some point?!
Everyone who was wrong about Trump — please say so openly to those who trust you and follow you. You have influence and thus bear responsibility.
Bolton’s home raided, Gen. Kruse fired, Epstein coverup proceeds, seizure of 10% of Intel another step towards state capitalism. Just one day in the somewhat chaotic but directionally purposeful march towards…despotism. Does anyone think they’re doing all this so they can hand over power in 2028?

No one would be confused about what's happening if you saw it in another country. No one.
You know what's crazy? There have been no op-eds or editorial statements in major newspapers this year calling on Trump to resign. None calling for his impeachment. None asking if he's medically fit to be in office. Not one in any major newspaper all year.
... said the 10-year-old currently running the US.
Just thinking about the round-the-clock outrage that Fox News and other MAGA media have devoted to Mamdani's proposal to open a handful of city-run grocery stores. Meanwhile, the president literally just nationalized Intel.
From "highly CONFLICTED" to "Highly Respected" in just weeks — and all it took was for him to give away 10% of his company
BREAKING: BlueSky is blocking access to Mississippi. This is the No. 1 platform for @mississippifreepress.org. We ditched X for BlueSky early this year. And now, at 3 pm on a Friday, poof. I don't know what we'll do next. Keep up with us using our newsletter at mfp.ms/subscribe.
Masked raids are tools of fear, not freedom. Despite what this administration wants you to believe, they are not about “safety.” They are about letting ICE agents hide from accountability while carrying out inhumane acts.

Yes. Collapsing all fed law enforcement into one undifferentiated, untrained, masked force. "Agents said they worried the changes would transform the FBI from an investigative agency focused on national security into something more akin to a federal police force..." www.nytimes.com/2025/08/21/u...

Jesus H. As someone who has bipolar 2 disorder, I find this horrifying. (And I'm someone who a) isn't homeless, and b) has access to mental health services.) It's absolutely horrifying to read something like this.
Interior Secretary Doug Burgum with Trump and police in DC: “You have always during your entire life supported law enforcement.” Capitol Police would like a word.

Well, he also insults European leaders and lectures them on free speech, so I guess that's something?

Here, fixed it.
All that electricity going to that. Some day someone will add it up and realize we used half a rainforest for political meme videos.
No, Mr. Vance, they are un-housed people thanks to our government spending $$ on troops and walls rather than investing in our own population.
There’s probably no connection between Trump’s post suggesting slavery wasn’t that bad, his restoration of monuments honoring Confederates, and renaming of military bases to honor traitors who believed that it was simply a property right being taken from them without just cause.
Good luck explaining to your grandchildren why we crossed known climate tipping points. “Oh, we wanted to let big companies pollute for free,” won’t have much appeal.

"If you don't stand for the invocation, I'll have you removed" was what Lt Gov of TX Patrick said as he threatened to have Texans removed from the gallery if they didn't stand to participate in a prayer. We are not a Christian Nation & no one should have to participate in prayer. #Pinks
I am a bit of a broken record on this, but are local DAs going to let this continue indefinitely? The ICE agents didn't have any kind of warrant, didn't identify themselves, and then recklessly started firing. Let them argue federal immunity.
Are you nobody too?
43 cities in the states sending troops to Washington, D.C., have higher rates of violent crime than the capital does.
I don't know why we act like the Constitution is an actor in politics, as if it's going to step in on its own to reestablish order. It is a tool of politics that can and must be used by political actors in defense of the Constitution and its values.
As Ukrainian and European leaders travel to Washington for discussions in the White House this Monday about ending Russia’s illegal war of aggression, Americans would do well to remember ten principles of negotiation. snyder.substack.com/p/common-sen...
This is how everyone should treat this masked thugs!! ‘This is cowboy country and we don’t get down with that bullshit!…You got two options you can get the fuck off my property or we can get down.’ Bravo, sir‼️💥🔥💥
It is insane to me that the government can find money to pay ICE agents increasingly larger sums of money, yet teachers have to buy their own pencils.
