Thiel, posing as the antichrist, was plotting with Epstein to bring about the end times via teenage prostitution rings? If anyone makes this possible scenario into a movie I want a screen credit.

I get the point. Vote for any Democrat, no matter who because theyâre better than a Republican. Accept whatever they do & keep voting for them. Hoping that over time theyâll improve the insufficient policies they put in place. Which is what Dem voters have been doing for decades. Itâs not working.
Or support ranked choice voting and finally be allowed to vote for who you really want to win instead of against the one you really donât.
Thereâs an amorphous blob in the middle of his howling at the moon tie. I assume that is a metaphorical symbol of his unwinding mental state.
We've got more for you on Labor Day. More than 82 percent of civilian federal workers have had their right to collectively bargain stripped in the largest act of union busting in US history. Unions are a voice from below, and their autonomy poses a threat to autocrats, Harold Meyerson writes:
Labor Day in Concord New Hampshire - electrifying atmosphere! Pretty amazing
They arenât sending their best. Criminals, fascists and pedophiles. I assume some of them are good people butâŠ
Luigi I am once again asking you to be angry that US healthcare ranks 69th in the world for overall quality but it is BY FAR the most expensive healthcare in the world.
How many times have we heard this. Democrats are tireless defenders of the people, fighting for their rights, unless the parliamentarian, the filibuster and/or their corporate overlords tell them to stop.
They already are. I know plenty of people paying in the thousand dollar range for family plans on the exchange. And still have co pays and deductibles.
People donât love the ACA. Or the cost. Or the healthcare denials it allows. And they especially donât love the abomination of medical bankruptcy in the richest nation on earth. Itâs all that was offered to them and now itâs being snatched away. Which was inevitable.

Now that scientists are just beginning to understand that hormone therapy has numerous beneficial effects on aging women like lower cholesterol, blood pressure, minimizing bone loss and joint deterioration and probably preventing Alzheimerâs and heart attacks these clowns want to eliminate it.

Rhode Island passed a law banning mandatory anti-union employee meetings. Union-busting law firm Littler Mendelson held a webinar for employers about the law. And they essentially told employers... to break the law! We got the transcript and the PowerPoint: prospect.org/justice/2025...
Unions built this city and keep it running. Theyâve fought against power and greed to make the impossible possible. Now, they need an ally in City Hall. On Labor Day, the presidents of the Hotel Trades Council, 32BJ and SEIU 1199 make the case at @cityandstateny.bsky.social.
Why has the government stopped listening to infectious disease specialists? Thatâs the only question.
Thatâs why they passed higher minimum wages and labor protections when they had the House and Senate under Biden. Nothing gets between Democrat politicians and workers rights except the filibuster!
One of our kind Facebook followers posted this and it pretty much sums up Pete Ricketts right now.
The artwork on these is incredible. Love an old fashioned Halloween vibe.
Jaw? All I see is turkey wattle.
In every situation Democrat politicians water down voter expectations and serve it cold with a shrug, âThis is all youâre getting. Donât complain Republicans are worse.â So David is correct. They set the agenda and tell voters what theyâre going to get.
Except. Voters donât want expanded healthcare. They want universal healthcare. And they donât want abortion rights. They want a Congress capable of codifying citizens rights into law so womenâs health isnât a political football for them. They want assault rifle bans not background checks.
âJobs disappear and the markets cheer.â On Labor Day 30 years ago, I issued a warning the growing divide between workers and the super-rich. Watch. youtu.be/8rW1kkAV-gw
Science is real
The geniuses at the White House: âLetâs put him in golf clothes. Heâll look like heâs going to make it through the weekend.â
Not surprising coming from a party that stopped pretending to support democracy decades ago. It is still a little surprising to me that so many voters are fine with paying six figure salaries, benefits and staff to reps who refuse to work for them though.
This isnât really practical. But, hear me out, an NFT based on the number of veins filled with formaldehyde.
Donât tease us.

In what fetid imagination does chalk deface anything?
Thereâs no way Trump kicks it and we donât know immediately. But I still think the odds of him dying before Biden does are 50/50. He is not a well man. Having said that, be careful what you wish for. A smarter healthier less insane JD Vance could be worse.
If prayer really worked heâd never have been elected. Either it doesnât or the Gods are laughing.
It is amazing! And the best place to observe sea life.
Democrats had the house and senate under Biden and did not pass comprehensive gun control legislation. Despite having claimed for decades that it is both necessary and that they support it. They always find an excuse.
Honestly. What absolute sociopath who clearly has never tried to navigate a grocery store aisle in their life dreamt up this horror and inflicted it on the population?
đđœđŻ
so good from @heycappello.bsky.social
Truthfully itâs starting to look fairly plausible that Dems will take the house and senate in 2026. And they will do exactly none of these things.
Most of President Donald Trumpâs global tariffs were ruled illegal by a US appeals court that found he exceeded his authority in imposing them
âMindâ. I like the way she uses it as a collective. The Fox News outrage hive mind.
Politically and/or otherwise.
Agreed.
Resident doctors are being exploited. Theyâre working 70 or 80 hours a week and trying to pay off student debts with totally inadequate salaries. The good news is that they are forming unions and fighting back. I stand with them.
Can we not anoint Newsom 3 1/2 years before the election? Thanks.
After Sandy Hook, Mark Warner voted against the 2013 Assault Weapons Ban. Because he values guns over kids. Mark Warner is the problem, not the solution. And he's a 70 year old with $300M.
When Democrats had the house and senate under Biden they did nothing. Why will the next time be different?
For me personally itâs anything with Dawn in it. (RIP Michelle Trachtenburg, no offense to the actor. But I loathed that storyline.)
âNo Way To Prevent This,â Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens â theonion.com/no-way-to-pr...
Sounds like a five bark emergency to me. Wasting that cheese would be a crime against canine kind.
We should totally give Democrats the House, the Senate and the Presidency so they can blame the filibuster for not passing gun control legislation! Again! đ
Kind of! We won in that way that we donât actually win but pretend we do.
Remind Democrats that they had two years to ban assault weapons under Biden and as usual did nothing because blah, blah, Senator Meany, blah, blah, filibuster. Stop telling us we donât have to live like this. We do. Because neither party will fix it.
Clearly every frontline Democrat is doing it wrong. And the progressive anti corruption candidates like Mamdani and the guy wiping the floors of Maine with Susan Collins concern at the polls are showing them what to do. But keep defending them if you like losing.
At some point, Gods know when, Democrats will realize this is the way. Candidates who wonât be bribed by corporations or super pacs and who are more concerned with the day to day living conditions of Americans than anything else.
True. Adopted a puppy five years ago and the shelter called my vet and asked for three references and called every one of them.
Absolutely. So sick of Democrats claiming to support assault rifle bans, or anything else really, when every time theyâre in office they use the filibuster as an excuse not to do anything.
Yeah. But theyâd have to offer a plan to fix the shitty economy, which while arguably worse now has been shitty for some time. And all they want to do is yell Trump bad!
Doctors are on the runâŠout of the country. British Columbia is actively recruiting American healthcare professionals and getting thousands of applicants. Coupled with the gutting of the CDC Americans will be living in the healthcare shit hole they keep voting for.

So, why do I feel so hopeless then? Democrats have been claiming they support an assault rifle ban for decades. They had two years to do it with Biden. They know damn well they need to end the filibuster to pass any of this legislation they claim to support. And they never do.
It's possible ... hear me out, here âŠ. It may well be that these people lie their asses off whenever they exhale
Please share widely
I only have one question at this point. Democrats controlled congress for two years and did not pass the assault weapons ban theyâve claimed to support for decades. If they get back into power what is the plan to end the filibuster and force every Dem rep to vote for this?
We all recognize it. Have recognized it. Are prepared to deal with it. Elect Democrats. Give them the House, the Senate, the White House & then listen to two years of âWell Senator Scumbag wonât vote for that. And we invented a rule that we need 60 Senators to pass anything & we canât change that.
Yeah thatâs the universal healthcare part. Fuck off.
Never said that. Not even once.
Trump winning twice and the historic unpopularity of Democrats right now just bears that out. If voters are going to be governed by corruption they prefer it to be by those who are open and honest about it and not by a party that claims itâs different and then always finds excuses not to be better.
I just donât think thatâs true. The corruption is so obvious everyone sees it including Republican voters who then point to Democrats and say, âBut so are Democrats.â And really if the argument is âWell, yeah, but not THAT corrupt. Or, but not corrupt in the same wayâ the left has already lost.
You: I am so cool and intelligent with the obviously superior argument but I canât be bothered because reasons. Me: Yeah, donât bother. Not interested.
Interesting. I think what is probably stupid is asserting that all humans donât need clean air, water, safe healthy food, housing, quality affordable healthcare, education and housing. But idiots will disagree.
If an assault on Big Balls brought out the National Guard Iâm sure the slaughter of innocent children in church will do at least as much. Right? Right.
Dems controlled everything for two years. And literally did nothing. Nothing. You make all the excuses you want for them. Iâm focused on lighting a fire under their asses.
If Republicans werenât openly anti democracy and pro corruption Iâd waste more time crying about them. Democrats claim to be pro democracy and anti corruption so my focus is on holding them to their claims. Itâs not much. Itâs all thatâs left. And Biden could have expanded the court.
Because ultimately there will always be that excuse that Senator Scumbag from Trash State just wonât go along with this. Which is not a problem Republicans ever have in passing their own agendas. And Americans arenât going to be gaslit by that argument anymore.
I mean, okay. If you want to defend the Democrats who refused to dismantle the filibuster in order to pass a single thing they campaigned on, do that. But you canât claim that voting for them will help with school shootings, or medical bankruptcy or stagnant wages or education costs or housingâŠ
Dear gods. Iâve just spent days collecting signatures for a ranked choice ballot initiative. Fuck off.
I agree. There is plenty of good alternative media available but people like their confirmation bias. And too many people just tune out because neither party fixes anything.
Youâll be in your bunker sleeping under a canopy of rifles.
Itâs funny how thereâs always that one spoiler in the Democratic party that manages to block any meaningful legislation.
Yeah. So stop saying getting rid of Republicans fixes these issues. It doesnât. And it wonât. Unless Democrats are prepared to end the filibuster the odds of any actual reform addressing any serious issue actually happening is zero. And the odds of winning 60 senate seats is also near zero.
Right. But they did have two Dem senators who refused to end the filibuster so that they didnât need 60. And a party and a presidency still so comfortable with the status quo that they didnât play hardball with them. So getting rid of Republicans doesnât fix this issue.
We love corporate! Also, send money!
In the meantime little children on their knees in church will. Because America loves its guns more than its children.
Uh-huh. Democrats unable to control their own caucus to pass the simplest most basic legislation they claim to support.
I enjoy your Halloween posts so much!
Biden and Democrats had two years to ban assault weapons.
Iâm sure the National Guard is going to be deployed to schools across America at any time to combat crime and mayhem. Any day nowâŠ
Love it!
If Republicans are required to fix this Americaâs prospects are pretty dim. In fact if Democrats are required to fix this Americaâs prospects are pretty dim. We need ranked choice voting and more independent candidates to shake these parties to their existential core.
Youâre an idiot. And gratuitously offensive. Bye.
đ
Obviously the blame falls on Republicans too. This is a strawman argument. Everyone knows the Republicans are openly corrupt, anti democratic and blind to public opinion. Democrats claim to be the opposite so thatâs where people expect action.
Theyâre the only public goods we have.
đšNEW REPORTđš The "abundance agenda" claims to offer prosperity for all. In reality, it props up corporate power, deregulation, and inequality. Today, we published a comprehensive critique + alternative vision with @openmarkets.bsky.social. READ:
No. You compared criticism of Democratic politics to selling fast food. I pointed out that criticizing fast food is legitimate as is criticizing Democratic politics. Because the goal is to improve. If I were a Republican I wouldnât care if Democrats improved. Their incompetence would delight me.
I feel like 90% of Bluesky is on board with politicians who donât let Trump win two elections. With maybe a smattering of taxpayer dollars should directly improve the lives of taxpayers. And a little less, We love corporations! Please send $10!
The Democratic establishment is incapable of learning.
