“Well, I was being a little bit sarcastic when I said that," Trump said in an interview on the Full Measure television program, where he was asked about his campaign trail promises. This is sarcasm? You be the judge- watch them all! (Is he a liar or a moron? Yes.)
A must share
A friend called your posts “the next best thing to eating.”
Just by pointing out that the directive “Vote Blue No Matter Who” is only demanded by centrists of leftists, never applying it to themselves, Mehdi says all we need to know. They don’t want to win. Terrified of actual leadership, they love being a ruling minority of a minority - their comfort zone.
shortened this (grim, awful) headline for you

So Trump got new cheekbone injections of dermal filler last week and had to wait until the swelling looked a bit less like marbles under the skin to appear in public?
Honestly, disqualifying decisions by Rep Craig. If being all in on Crypto isn't enough but then going and opening for Eric Trump? No way. I'm all in for Peggy.
He can’t keep track of his own lies even from the beginning of a sentence to the end
DEAR GOP: Would you take up arms if a Democratic President sent troops to American cities? If the answer is yes, then you know what is likely to happen next and you are asking for it because you are maybe super dumb or maybe suicidal.

Okay. I just came back to this and you aren’t calling these efforts resegregation yet, you absolutely should be

Keep trying to get people to read this - I know he’s a difficult read and some of his ideas are fairly retrograde. But I believe his central theory is on the money. It’s not a given that people want - or can handle - democracy…
Okay I concede different events- But there are hundreds of clips of him walking to his vehicle to go golfing over all the years… easy as pie to retrofit one for purpose. Who is to blame for the total lack of faith in the integrity of the reportage? & the proliferation of conspiracy theories?
It looks extremely doctored to me - zoom in on his hat
Still true

Jones: I want to bring theology into this because you have all these people that want to give thoughts and prayers. But I was a minister, and that is a form of theological malpractice—when you pray for something you have the power to change.

I am ashamed to admit when these daily links weren’t showing up in my “feed” I forgot to look for them, but no more. These are the sermons we need right now. Please read and share widely. Oh, and buy a copy of Enshittification while you are at it: www.kickstarter.com/projects/doc...
Thank you for your moral clarity @erinmayequade.bsky.social. EVERYONE should be calling for a special session. For the sake of our kids.
If our children being killed doesn’t galvanize elected officials to take extraordinary action then I’m not sure what else ever will. Thank you for your leadership
He got vaccinated secretly in Jan 2021 before leaving the WH, ambivalently encouraged vaccination for everyone in Mar 2021 (then his own vax status was reported by journalists) He admitted getting a booster at a TX rally in Dec 2021 and the crowd - by that time - actually booed him…
We live in a country that is ok with going door to door rounding up brown skinned people but would lose their shit if we went door to door rounding up the instruments that fuel their worst realities of violent crime in the US.
Why are you riding too fast, that’s rude, dude
I’d like a life-size cut out version of Mort to bring to protests of ICE raids, please
Sad I stopped watching CNN pandering in 2016 so I can’t stop watching them pandering now now - never thought they’d stoop quite as low as this however
Thanks! Donated to both! Let’s go!!

May I suggest a chant to the tune of "it's all over" that goes "we all hate you, [clap clap clapclapclap]."

The tone of this video is completely wild. It's filmed like a high school media class project. It looks like it too; the presentation and graphics are amateurish. And yet it's chilling, because she's a real government spokesperson dismissing reports of abuses in detention with finger quotes.
Epstein’s smug smile says it all - I’ve got my hand on Melania’s ass and she’s loving it
Ok thanks - I remember one last summer… It’s MUCH better than it was when I moved here with 3 lanes of traffic and a higher speed limit - like a rushing river of cars. But still unsafe with frequent accidents and ungodly speeders…
Yikes - been out of town for a week and a half and missed these! I live a block away!!
Oh good — he feels the grim reaper’s bony fingers reaching out to him…
Well they are both ostensibly Democrats, but Frey and his ilk are essentially what moderate Republicans used to be before the GOP became the Fascist Party… don’t blame this on one who actually wants government to promote the general welfare of the the people. All the people.

Um… when were you planning to stand up, cuz this attempt to undermine democracy has been going on now for quite a while and all I see you doing is “bipartisanship” aka complicity… Feel free to stand up any time…
Then and Now: Before I-94 plowed through the middle of the Minneapolis in 1968, the city once had gracious avenues with a lively mix of business and residential buildings, tied together by the nation's finest streetcar system.

As federal authorities crack down on homeless encampments in D.C., revisit our reporting on the possessions people lose in sweeps — and how these losses can traumatize them, exacerbate health issues and undermine efforts to find housing.
@schiff.senate.gov @amyklobuchar.com @raskin.house.gov Your photos are being used for this grift— ok with you? As I see it, these Dem PAC jerks have siphoned off a fortune in contributions over a decade or so, and a good deal of faith in the party along with it…
Who does this???? @mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social that’s who…
Just reading in a Hockney biography all about this piece!!! Darling
Oh thanks - I was just saying “wait, what?”
Thank you These are beautiful
This is the beginning of the message —- And there is no way to respond @ActBlueorg.bsky.social should stop hosting them — and all similarly structured PACs — or at the very least include some form of “community notes” warning donors that their money isn’t going where they think it’s going…
Another disgraceful shaming & duplicitous text from yet another disguised offshoot of End Citizens United sent me back to this HuffPost article from 2016 - All the money these ghouls have siphoned off with their underhanded tactics & their greed! Grr #donatesmart www.huffpost.com/entry/end-ci...
ICYMI, the eye-popper in today's PPI: a 39% rise in wholesale fresh vegetable prices. It's the largest month-on-month increase ever recorded in the summer (data to 1947), and one of the ten largest ever, regardless of season. With the estimable @alexjamesfitz.com www.axios.com/2025/08/14/i...

Remember how StarTribune reported that when the Dept of Ed was going to stop payments to Feeding Our Future they used their connections to Frey, then got a meeting with The mayor, after which payments started again? Oh, and then after the meeting they all donated the maximum to Frey.

#ACAB #ReimaginePolice O’Hara drank the kool-aid (autocorrect helpfully made it read “kill-aid” —- yeah, more like it)
O’Hara came in talking big reform and became a textbook example of why the MPD is unreformable! The culture imposes its own standards, its own codes, its own pro-violence “truth” #ACAB #unreformable #dismantleMPD
Wait O’Hara wants us to believe he’s sincere about reform but heaven forfend if anyone references the scandalously awful & criminal behavior necessitating reform! He wants us to believe they’ve always been heroes! Please Please Read every word of this article www.startribune.com/metro-gang-s...

Another day, another fence going up in Minneapolis. How about instead of spending public money on yet more fencing, we spent it on actually housing our neighbors?

#NoMorePACs Just got a fundraising spam from RiseUpPac Looks like a brand new grift machine, headed by Jeremy Begun. No stats yet- not even qualified yet Basically, just don’t give money to PACs!!! Give to candidates directly Or via app.OATH.vote or something like blue26.org
Name and shame
Please please can an actual journalist read on mic to Trump the part about her grabbing Virginia Giuffre from Mar-a-Lago and then ask him why he’s waiving her sex offender status and if he still wishes her well…
