These 2 Orwellian flyers going to voters trying to persuade Californians not to legally vote on temporary redistricting are stupidly using that maga FIRST word from the Right Path. Right Path? Wrong approach, idiots, stop poking the Bear. CA will stand up for America, and disarm Trump & MAGA.
In my opinion, there is no parallel to Olga's excellent, accurate reporting, in addition to her being intelligent, humorous, compassionate...
Thanks for putting a smile on my face 2x, always appreciated.
Very scary objectives.
Seems Russian jamming widespread, hybrid jamming campaign against NATO states bordering Russia⬇️
Also, I figure Putin just hardened the resolve of the EU and allies to commit more military strength to Ukraine and to protect UA countries.
I wonder how many other times Russia has brought down planes through jamming? Seems there's been a few convenient ones for Putin to benefit from.
Propaganda soup of nothingness, great metaphor🙂
Taxpayers from states send money to the feds, my posts implied state governments paid the money
I stand corrected
Point is, if states don't send money from taxes collected statewide to the federal government, the federal government would be hard pressed to redistribute this money across the nation, especially if blue states withheld money.
Yes, I wasn't clear While states do not collect federal taxes, they play a crucial role in contributing to federal revenue, through collecting state taxes, which is then redistributed to support various programs and services across the nation.
I agree he's not dead and I am remembering how Stalin covered up Lenin's death for 6 months to consolidate his power, pretending Lenin would only communicate with him. Could something like this happen today? Maybe? Those golf/limo photos earlier today certainly were an attempt to fool us...
States collect various taxes, including individual income taxes, sales taxes, corporate income taxes, and property taxes, which they then contribute to the federal government.

Everything you didn't know you needed to know about Chuck Schumer. Sadly amusing, yet so is Chuck.
Great video. Explains why Chuck is so out of touch very well, and needs to go back to Long Island yesterday. He is a delusional liar, I've had enough!
Trump said February 4, 2025, he wanted to turn Gaza into the "Riviera of the Middle East". Someone made this AI video T proudly posted on his Lying Truth account Here it is with CNN's analysis. youtube.com/shorts/N9a0U...
As wonderful as it is to think all would be removed if the President was impeached, this meme is misleading... Article II, Section 4 is interpreted to read the Pres/VP/civil officers can be impeached and removed simultaneously if all are found guilty in their respective impeachment trials.
I'd bet he will be on board, and I'm also of the mind his strengths outweigh any unknown as yet weaknesses.
AI will embody God. Included in this article are quotes from Thiel and Zuckerberg. "From predicting the potential destruction of humanity to a transhumanist apocalypse where people merge with AI, here’s what some of the key players are saying." apnews.com/article/arti...

Please issue a public health order removing federal restrictions on Covid Vaccines in California as New Mexico has. @governor.ca.gov @dawnaddis.bsky.social @sd11.senate.ca.gov
Strange fruit, indeed.
Thank you for all you've done and continue to do. FYI: I reposted the article on my Bluesky site.
Graham Platner is an exemplary person. He the type of person we need to represent us in local, state and federal governments. I enjoyed and appreciated learning more about him in this article.
Unless the not supreme ct rules his EO's are "legal". Then Congress has to act to both impeach the 6 "justices",+ pass appropriate legislation to fix the constitutional laws which have been stomped on. I hold hope this will happen sooner than 2026 elections(while hoping there are 2026 elections)
100%
Additionally - Be Aware: The current Covid vaccine eligibility requirement list has sneaky ways to mine information to find people eligible for eugenic type programs.

She is a Sycophantic Liar.
The Democratic Party has badly lost its way.
LCG_CT, will my above response be adequate to get to the Governor's page here? (I'm still learning how to properly use this app.🙂)
If you live in a Blue State in America, look at this and contact your governor! open.substack.com/pub/jodygorr...
Governor, you're probably aware of these sound tactics, going to pass this article on to you anyway. Governor Gavin Newsom @governor.ca.gov jodygorran.substack.com?utm_campaign...
Okay!
The Dragon's fire can roast the Elephant.
I appreciate this Substack. In reference to leaving our country, I'm not going anywhere unless the circumstances closely reflect Germany in 1940.
Interesting thoughts and I don't think or believe T would ever resign, for many reasons worthy of a longer response than right now. He also has more mega donors, oligarchs supporting his deregulations and Project 2025 agendas, and is the MAGA Cult's godhead. T is too useful alive to them.
Isabel, I'd strongly consider deleting this post.
I thought so... I read your feed, I like what you post.
This posts about the BLS, your comment seems out of context, perhaps you were responding to a different post. Regarding your response, I will point out- Now is Not the time to change or increase federal justices, not with this majority in the house and senate, not with this "administration".
The ribbon cutting ceremony 3 days ago...
Olga Nesterova @onestpress.onestnetwork.com is a fair and balanced, insightful journalist. I am thankful for her reporting, she has both a Substack and YouTube channel with summations of US and World news I read/watch daily. Her explanation of the reason T has gone silent makes perfect sense.

I stand with Chicago. I stand with Mayor Johnson. 🚨 NEW: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson just signed an executive order to resist Trump’s federal invasion and occupation of the city. Details in 🧵
European Union's charter needs to change immediately. A majority vote of the members of the EU should approve policies, etc Passing policies with 100% approval isn't practical/realistic for large institutions, "Black balling" is ineffective/inefficient, unless you are a small, private entity.

Must be comforting for him to be with an adolescent female relative.
"Enhanced Authority" Unless nations agree to relinquish some sovereignty to the UN, it will continue to act as an advisory council, a place to air grievances with no major recourse, and international aid provider.

RFK Jr (lesser), believes conspiracy theories are factual. With others of this ilk getting validation for unproven theories and scientific non facts, in turn revalidating RFK Lesser... He will not resign.
Yippee! One fine example of Soft Succession!
International Emergency Economic Powers Act gives president the power to address "unusual and extraordinary" threats during national emergencies, historically used for imposing sanctions, freezing assets. Trump declared a national emergency,only president to use IEEPA to impose tariffs. Ridiculous

20 years ago, Katrina hit LA & MS gulf coast. The levees in NOLA broke killing 1400 people. I escaped with my young children on 2nd to last plane. The clinic I worked at took 9 feet of water. I returned a week later to care for the 1000s of 9th ward survivors rescued by the Coast Guard. Young Dr Me:
Bye Bye Temu!

Should vaccines still be available, in spite of RFK Junior, I believe he is culling his herd of vaccine deniers, and followers of his other deadly views (drink raw milk, etc).
Thank Heavens!

I wasn't sure! 🙂
Since you asked, a town hall is a public meeting where government officials meet with constituents to discuss issues, answer questions, and gather feedback. Example: Our school board recently had a town hall with the community to gather ideas about capital improvements, it was very helpful.
Just before reading this, I ordered a Hass avocado tree!
Gov, you are being extremely effective pointing out, with facts and humor, the, to put simply, awfulness going on right now in our country. Listening to you, I hear the exhaustion in your voice and speech. Please take care of yourself, as well as you are taking care of us
You are doing well in helping me be informed. We often need input from others to be aware of problems and find solutions. Remember Oedipus's fatal flaw: "I solved the riddle by my wit alone"
Good idea. Additionally, I'd like to see the Democrats doing another shadow congress, like the one they did months ago.
Thank you for your attention in this matter, Olga.
On other YouTube channels I can get a notification on upcoming videos, not yet on ONEST, so I set my alarm.
Good information to have available. Maybe come election time, the "republican" members of both houses might give lip service to these rising costs and I don't think they will care right now, they certainly didn't care when passing the bills, nor do they push back on EO's and illegal tariffs.
Google mines and sells my information, plus I noticed Google disappears articles. I use DuckDuckGo now.
May the surgery be successful and the cancer go in and stay in remission.
This is concerning! open.substack.com/pub/treason/...
Thank you. There's so much information rapidly needing dissemination right now, it's easy to not see everything. I hadn't thought about Doge using AI to spy on the country, now it seems obvious they would and I'm glad you posted this. Keep spreading awareness, please!
Great information. I'd also like to remind everyone, we also need to establish a form of compulsory voting. "We have compulsory jury duty, draft registration, and taxes. Voting is part of being a citizen, the price we pay for living in a democracy." -Thom Hartmann
I had to follow you after reading your write up about yourself and glancing through your posts/replies. I may now live in CA, and will forever be a NYM fan... Let's Go Mets!!!
I'm glad this is getting much coverage, at least on Bluesky... Even without knowing what Ostapenko said, the finger pointing/wagging in Townsend's face by Ostapenko, with Ostapenko leaning in towards her like a scolding bully, says as much as her words.
EU still purchases Russian oil.
Goody!
In the above recording, Mayor Bowser states DC eliminated cashless bail in 2023.
Thanks, I went to his account on Bluesky, he didn't post his lying, racist Flushing Meadows report here. Weewee sports guy sure takes after another Queen's born racist... I don't even need to mention his name, do I?
I think they might be, the dark path is the goal A Soft Succession is the answer, followed by a strict reconstruction with a reset of truth-or minimally,returning to fair and balanced reporting,impeach "supreme" court 5+then reversing unconstitutional type decisions,trials for T's cabinet-and more
No, but thanks for taking the time to find and post this. I should look through my "likes" to see if I could find what I thought I read, maybe I misread or was incorrectly informed RFK idiot was planning to cancel all covid vaccines in 6 months -That I thought it was true, though, goes to show...
Additionally, I've been responding to the personalized feed people (like you) finding my interactions and responses to my posts vastly increased, due to exposure and, perhaps, algorithms. Feel free to DM me for a further discussion, your posts here are valuable...
Maybe this will help, sure helped me. ⬇️ Bluesky added, next to the Follower button in the top right part of a profile, a "Notify me of this Posts" activity button". Now I am notified when people post, creating a personalized feed. I also added the "Popular With Friends" feed to my feed page.
Yesterday, I read the FDA is considering cancelling the Covid vaccine programs, have you read anything about this, yet? (I wish I had the article I read to share and you do a great job here reporting information, many thanks)
Good response and, since you are running for Mayor of NYC (👍🏻), I'd like to know what your intentions are for NYC gun control, or if you are satisfied with the current laws.
True, and exposing the bully trying to both control and extort the media and corporations seems important to me. I don't see the need to blather on about it, though.
Either does that lunitic smile lutnik
The map is discriminatory and the R Texas legislators also created a map putting 10 republican districts at strong risk of becoming democratic due to diluting the republican base My math says possible net increase of 5 federal congress democratic seats Not well thought out in rush to please T
Yes.
It's widely reported T has invested over 100 million in bonds since taking office in January. Coincidence? Nope.
This meme is pushback to T wanting the Nobel prize, not an actual recommendation.
The CEO of Cracker Whip Barrel didn't care about the MAGA backlash, this is another example of the bully in chief scaring companies and boards into submission.
The retailers know there is no federal agency anymore to hold them accountable for gouging. Consumers have to either shop around to find lower prices,Farmer's markets, build greenhouses/gardens Community gardens/greenhouses, and scheduling local "Shares" is a solution. www.thebigsurbigshare.com

On September 1, Putin is putting dog type collars on all people not born in Russia proper. When scanned, green light-okay, red light-go to jail. Figure Putin's orange acolyte will sign an EO soon copying him before the December holiday season.
