Ukraine has all the cards again
I was considered a moderate Democrat when I registered to vote 50 years ago. My positions haven't changed much and now I'm considered far left. In other words, I care about people. All people.

Ukraine has all the cards again
Wow. How did Ukraine get the Epstein files?

“The Mamdani administration will allocate $20 million per year to ensure that every school can have an Open Street. This money will support additional programming, operational support, and maintenance to ensure each child has access to clean, safe, and fun space—every day.”
Well, well, well
An update on that insane lease term where the landlord owns everything you create during the tenancy:
What I want to know is if this is the first time Homan has accepted a bribe. In a normal Administration, he would be immediately fired and a full forensic investigation conducted. But in this corrupt Administration, they’ll lie and deflect.
“He said things like ‘vaccines had fetal parts,’” Monarez said, “and I had to send a note to our leadership team to correct that misinformation.”

NEW: California was on track to pass a law this year that'd bring a path out of prison for some survivors of domestic violence who've been convicted of harming their abuser. But the bill ended up dying in the state Senate as the session drew to a close this summer. Bolts reviews what happened:
On behalf of the United States of America, I would like to apologize to the world for the moron we’ve sent to address the United Nations!
They're so fucking sleazy.
These are fair surmises.
Everything this administration does they say they're doing because they're Christian. Pay attention.
Donald Trump's Crypto & AI Czar already has HUGE conflicts of interest. Now, he could be overstaying the clear time limit of his role so he can keep influencing crypto policy. We're launching an investigation into yet another example of possible Trump admin corruption.
I'm guessing the makers of Tylenol didn't donate to trump or rfk jr...
I honestly don't believe anything out of this administration either.
The U.S. Secret Service has found and is quietly dismantling a massive network of “SIM farms” across the New York area just as world leaders gather for meetings at the United Nations. https://to.pbs.org/4njwVy8
We're referring to the millions of Christians who stay silent while horrific acts are happening in their name.
Donald Trump is attempting to impose his authoritarian rule across the United States. Sending troops to cities against their will is unconstitutional and un-American. Stand up, speak out, and be loud against it.

Two Comedians NOT In The Epstein Files Chump ! This means The Jokes ON You...... RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES !
LOL, MTG voted yes
So 1,200 men and boys have been disappeared by this administration. And the MSM is saying NOTHING. Shame on you, @abc7.bsky.social @nbcnews.com @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy @cnn.com @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social @theguardian.com @newsmax.com SHAME ON YOU.
Where are these men? As of the end of August, two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July can't be found. They were removed from federal tracking. The gulag shut down and the men vanished. Why isn't Congress demanding answers?
Experts fear that Donald Trump’s anti-painkiller tirade could lead to an increase in risk factors for autism, and don’t trust the administration to assess data as it continues to search for a cause. www.wired.com/story/trumps...
He's obviously trying to hurt the company that makes Tylenol. I'm betting they wouldn't bend the knee or donate to him. He's trying to make them an example to other companies that resist his fascism. Let's all go out and buy a bunch of Tylenol. Boost their sales. Send a big Fuck You to Trump.
I need a Tylenol after listening to him drone on.
🤷🏼
On this we agree wholeheartedly.
Since when is it acceptable for a US President to give a presser on medical quackery presented with the sophistication of a psychotic person.

This story from @jvl.bsky.social is heartbreaking and infuriating www.thebulwark.com/p/autism-mah...
That was definitely NOT a man of God.
Autism does not need to be cured! It's the rest of society that needs to be more accommodating!! Neurodivergence and disabilities cause suffering only because we have so little understanding or support. Treating it as something "broken" or "wrong" only enforces that, please just help people instead.
But they don't speak up. Silence = complicity.
THIS 👆 Become louder than those who have become your religion’s mouthpiece.
When the majority of Christians endorse him and approve of his behavior, it's not unreasonable to judge if the "true" followers remain silent.
Christians. They call themselves Christians. Its ok to say the elephants seditious name. Christians stormed our Capitol and smeared their 💩. Remove the Tax Exempt Status of American Churches and fund public education! End the cults of proud ignorance, gullibility, violence, hate, and tRump!
We HAVE been here before. We were here 2016 through 2020. I will never understand the mass amnesia where people are surprised when he does exactly what he did before. We already lived through this hell and white voters decided they wanted to go back to the gutter.
He stood in front of the world at the UN today, and every other word out of his mouth was a lie. I’ll say it again, we’ve not been here before. An American President who lies as he breathes. It’s a terrible place to be. Shame on the media & everyone who’s normalized his lying and/or doesn’t care.

What a country.
Elon Musk has spent the past year obsessing over Pakistani child-rape gangs in the UK. Meanwhile, allegedly, in his own immediate family:
Fmr. State House Speaker Glen Casada [R-TN] was sentenced to 3 years in prison for creating a fake consulting firm that billed taxpayers over $50k for mail services and for taking bribes from his chief of staff to keep the scheme alive. Three years for stealing taxpayer money is insulting.
The UN had a clown show for the visiting delegates, courtesy of the United States, unfortunately, Jeffrey Epstein's best friend Donald Trump had some technical difficulties when the teleprompter crashed from the insane fascist gibberish it had to display.
He'll blame Biden.
Fact-checkers working hard to keep up…
“It’s worth underlining: Acetaminophen is the only widely recommended pain reliever considered safe in pregnancy. Scaring women away from it on shaky evidence isn’t responsible, it’s cruel.”
Let's be clear: no one should be taking medical advice from the man who told Americans to inject bleach. To moms worried about the Tylenol they took while pregnant: you deserve better than being RFK Jr's scapegoat. And to the autism community: you are loved exactly as you are.
More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
They fought for us. We fight for them. Today we delivered our petition to the VA to protect veterans' workplace rights and care. An attack on their freedom is an attack on ours. #UnionStrongForVets
This should be getting a lot more attention. And no journalist should sign it. "The idea that a member of the Pentagon press corps or a reporter writ large can only write what the government tells them to, that's not how it works in the United States of America." www.rawstory.com/pentagon-267...
Autistic and neurodivergent people deserve far better than a government looking to prevent their existence, let alone one that will invent fictitious ways to do so that puts everyone in danger
Yeah. We all knew that. It was obvious.
Surprise!
If you find yourself on the same side as Donald Trump on literally any topic, you are pitching for the bad guys. It's a pretty easy litmus test.
Dr. Oz doesn't own iHerb. He was their paid global spokesperson and owned a bunch of stock. He said he would divest himself of that stock when he went to work for Trump but who knows if he did?
This administration is based on greed. It's all about the grift.
What I want to know is if this is the first time Homan has accepted a bribe. In a normal Administration, he would be immediately fired and a full forensic investigation conducted. But in this corrupt Administration, they’ll lie and deflect.
Good on you ladies.
Yup. The US is officially OVER. Everything Trump touches dies.
The US govt can go fuck themselves on a very sharp splintery telegraph pole.
So we are officially not intimidating anymore by just barking. Im sure that'll piss off this administration even further.
Meanwhile over the weekend, the US government sent a letter threatening France, Australia, the UK, and Canada if they recognized Palestinian statehood. Despite US warnings of “punitive measures,” they proceeded with recognition.

Did they laugh at him at the UN this time or just look on in horror?
Shortly after Kimmel’s suspension was announced, Disney stock dipped about 3.5 percent and continued to trade lower in subsequent days. That loss in market value has amounted to about $4 billion. That is why Jimmy Kimmel will be back on. Don’t believe any other bullshit reasons. Follow the money.
Canada Prime Minister Mark Carney: "The current Israeli government is working methodically to prevent the prospect of a Palestine state from ever being established... In this context, Canada recognizes the state of Palestine."
once again, if tylenol caused autism, america would have a better rail system
Everyone is riffing on Tom Barrack's comments about submission but they're by far the least interesting part of the interview. He outright says that the US wants to exacerbate sectarian tensions in Lebanon, that US funding for the Lebanese army is to suppress its own people, and that Hezb is right.
Jasmine Crockett just torched Trump “uh-see-tuh-MI-nuh-fuhn (acetaminophen)”🤣
French President Emmanuel #Macron: "All lives are equally valuable. And the duty that we all have is to protect one another – a duty that is indivisible, just like our humanity.." "I declare that, today, France recognizes the State of Palestine."
An assault on the rights of our veterans is a threat to all of us. We're on the front lines today, delivering a petition to safeguard their workplace rights and care. We must protect those who protected us. #UnionStrongForVets
Howard Stern: “We can’t have that,” he added. “Not if we’re going to have a democracy.”
So they faked a sting on Homan and then just forgot to tell us, and then did an Epstein hoax too and forgot to put it out? man Biden really sucked at weaponizing the DOJ
It is sadly clear that the legacy media is unwilling to stand up to Trump and is capitulating. I started Democracy Docket in 2020 to be fearlessly independent and pro-democracy. It will never bow down. It will never give in. It will never compromise Sign up to support its work! hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0
I saw a post that said, School shootings are worse than Tylenol; and in the comments section someone said: yeah but they can’t blame women for that 😩 I hate it here.
Trump Hit With Community Note Over Cuba Autism Claim Trump’s “rumor” falls flat meidasnews.com/news/trump-h...
Donald Trump and Republicans control the House, the Senate and the White House. Trump promised to lower costs on Day 1, but instead Republicans made health care more expensive. Now Republicans are causing more economic chaos by shutting down the government.
It's a tough choice.
This is the stupidest press conference I have ever seen. Robert Kennedy, Jr. is corrupt and criminally stupid. Folate deficiency relation to neurological disorders wasn't recently discovered. We have know that for years and that is why we add folic acid to grain crops.
A question for the crackpot heroin addict with a worm eating his brain in charge of HHS. If Tylenol causes Autism why was Autism first identified in 1912 and formally named in 1943 But Tylenol was not invented until 1955? Nor was Tylenol widely available until the early 1960’s. #ProudBlue
WAS THAT SO HARD??
The lady who was blamed for leaving the door open at Uvalde actually kicked the rock from the door and pulled it closed - video shows it clearly. The asshole police LIED about it and she went through hell. If people thought the door was unlocked, why would there be a rock there in the first place?
Fuck. I just realized I wrote my lede graph 500 words into the piece. Gonna have to restructure the whole thing
I would be thrilled if the rapture happened and it took all the gop away.
This is delusional but you don’t have to read the whole thing. Boils down to: he’s shutting down the government because he thinks he’s a king.
Jimmy Kimmel is a great example of how pushback works and also how completely craven Shari Redstone was canceling Colbert
On Monday the UN General Assembly voted to back two-state solution for Israel and Palestine, recognizing Palestinaian statehood. Led by France and Saudi Arabia.
Dear Jimmy, The rotting moron’s vomit-inducing UN speech is a goldmine for your opening monologue tonight. Make it epic. Sincerely, Embarrassed America
