I am starting to suspect that newspaper is not on the up and up.
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
Ditto.

Trump limits National Guard assignments to 29 days at a time to keep the called up service members from getting healthcare and housing benefits while on duty. And the NG troops are catching on. Stereotypical Trump. Don't give those losers and suckers an extra dime. www.rawstory.com/trump-infuri...

Is Argentina more passionate than we are.
Round up the Jan 6 Insurrections n death penalty for them! #arresttrump
Frey: And don't just say, this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school. They were in a church.
Constituent: You talked about abuses in the medicare and medicaid system and I found interesting that the president pardoned someone that defrauded the medicaid system for $1.3 billion
KILMAR IN BALTIMORE: “Never lose hope. Promise me you’ll continue fight for freedom — not just for me, for everybody.” He was just taken into ICE custody.
Words cannot adequately describe what a colossal disappointment our mainstream media has been during our slow descent into authoritarianism.
Of course…you can’t get bad polls over facts you fail to share with the public!
This…we must not sane wash this 💩
They don’t support life or children only culture war issues they can use to divide people while they steal us blind. Reproductive rights is only about control of women not the life of children!!
If Missouri gerrymanders and waters down their districts I think I might run against that weasel Mark Alford. Congress could use a strong, well educated female teacher. Put an everyday person in the legislature.
I can tell you as a retired English teacher who used a Kindle due to vision issues, it is vital to keep printed books. Skills are only developed when all senses are involved in reading. I do not read for information anything online. Only entertainment reading.
BREAKING: Kilmar Abrego has been RELEASED from prison and is headed home to Maryland to be with his family. Judge Xinis has an order in place requiring a 72 hour notice if ICE decides to detain and deport him to a third country. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

“Putin is a predator, an ogre at our gates,” French President Macron warned. Calling Russia a long-term destabilizing force, he stressed Putin rarely honors commitments and seeks to redraw borders. “This is a threat to Europeans—we must not be naive,” Macron said.

Mango Mussolini is doing. GREAT job (heavy sarcasm there!) Of course he'll blame Biden, Obama or Hillary
That was Teleprompter Trump.
The RepubliKKKaNazis finally got slavery back. A long-time goal realized.
When roving gangs of law enforcement conduct violent arrests, obscuring their faces and refusing to identify themselves, people eat out less. The president's partisan political play is hurting real people, including workers and small business owners in the restaurant industry.
POLICE AND FEDERAL GOONS ARE TARGETING MOSTLY BLACK NEIGHBORHOODS IN D.C.
To those of us living(barely) in red states run by the greedy, selfish, immoral representatives, they're driving our states into poverty, where the wealthy flourish and the elderly, disabled, and lower class suffer and even DIE! THEIR PRESIDENT WANTS to stop you from voting! And THEY AGREE!

Once we fall out of herd immunity, vaccines won’t save us. JR screwed us all…
@jreinermd.bsky.social
Fuck this fucking fucker😤
NEW: McCarthyism returns to immigration law, as @USCIS announces that it will begin screening applicants for immigration benefits for "Anti-America ideologies or activities." The term has no prior precedent in immigration law and its definition is entirely up to the Trump admin.
Thankfully!!
🧪 You know it’s serious when the American Academy of Pediatrics defies government recommendations. We won’t stand for the enshittification of science. Vaccines save lives.
The argument against regulation is always the same: “It stifles growth and jobs.” But just as tax cuts for corporations have not trickled down, regulatory cuts have not benefited most people. Big companies enjoy bigger profits. Working people bear the costs.
As a teacher it took me two separate master’s programs to get the degree because I was a single mother who had to pay tuition as I went. Could only afford 1 class per semester and one summer. 10 years to get 30 hours. I had health issues that took my money then the classes I completed expired.
The lack of conscription got us lots of Hegseths. Not saying I was a fan of the draft, but here we are.
You have no idea. I was harassed by a city police officer in Norman, OK for most of the 90s and OOs. He and wife were next door. They stole all our HOA $$ and he finally got fired after 20 years for abuse of power. Even the school resource officers where I taught were Red leaning.
Just making it up as they go. Me are screwed…
OMG…had completely forgotten about this! Thanks for the great memory lol!!
These absolute fuckers!!

"Part of the reason why I love The Bulwark is that you guys tell it like it is. It's part of why I started Democracy Docket, to tell it like it is. But we need the legacy media to really step up their game here and tell it like it is." @marcelias.bsky.social joins @timmiller.bsky.social
Dumpty should not be allowed around children. FULL. STOP.
“With less they beat slavery. With less they beat Jim Crow… Harriet Tubman didn’t have email, Twitter, Texts, TikTok…”
I think they should leave it up and market it as a feature punching bag!!!
August 18, 1920: Women won the right to vote. August 18, 2025: That right is under attack. From gerrymandering congressional seats to banning mail-in ballots, Trump and Republicans are trying to silence us. We will not go back. Our fight continues. #VotingRights #WePersist
Stephen is Correct about Chump !
His secret weapon is not overflowing his diaper during his Russian orgy.
I mean Native Americans ARE BROWN😩
It Is Never A Joke And He Will Say We Are At War As He Has With Other Illegal Actions
In the 80s I worked for a Gaylord family newspaper. State circulation in OK at the time 350K total Republican drivel. They controlled us this way. We weren’t even allowed to eat lunch together. Daily/Sunday Oklahoman. It is now a small liberal paper.
As an Oklahoman, I’m here for this idea. And if we don’t shape up here we need to be kicked out too!!!
Right? We need more reporting on this.
Me five…
The fuck?? Someone needs to get her out…ACLU!!!
This needs/deserves to be reposted! We ALL need comic relief while getting a dose of reality at the same time! However, if I were Putin, I wouldn’t get that close to anything that disgusting or vile!
Why does no one hold them accountable for what they say????
2015: Marco Rubio says that Putin will try to divide the US from Europe 2025: Putin trying to divide the US from Europe
Crow: "Look at what happened. US military personnel in uniform literally were on hands & knees rolling out a red carpet for the most murderous dictator of the 21st century...we keep on acting like Putin deserves to be brought out in open like any of head of state. This is a historic embarrassment."

Trump: "We have about $17 trillion coming into our country." (The entire GDP of the US is about $30 trillion, so no, no we don't)
Any member of law enforcement that is in tactical gear and gets butthurt from getting hit with a sandwich, should not be in law enforcement. And anyone in law enforcement that hides their identity, is a coward and doesn't deserve to be in law enforcement.
"Electroboy" is my memoir about my battle with bipolar disorder and which is being made into a feature film with Timothee Chalamet. The book is out of print - I have h/c and p/b copies which I inscribe to you and ship overnight to you. The cost is $30 for a h/c and $20 for a p/c - send me a DM!

Word.... Want to save Social Security? Make billionaires pay their fair share. #HandsOffOurSocialSecurity
🚨 TONIGHT: Trump’s feds & National Guard are sweeping D.C., bulldozing encampments & arresting the unhoused. No shelter beds. No mercy. This is the mass criminalization of poverty. Tag your reps. Tag influencers. Share this. Make noise—if they can do it here, they can do it anywhere.
The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?
the day seniors can no longer shop, Wall St will do what the Pentagon won't
Because they are LIKE him.
We need to repeal the Reapportionment Act from 1929 which arbitrarily stopped the House from expanding at 435. Small states not only get over represented in the Senate, they get over represented in the House also
Birds of a feather….. This mother fuc*er is part of a huge flock.
Elections, courts, political opposition parties, etc., have never been able to get rid of fascism. Only overwhelming force has ever worked. So actually, people do need to go to the streets and protest.
Nothing will change... this was in 2021. Before Jan 6
At what point will museums be required to remove all mention of prior presidents and put up displays saying he's the only real president the US has ever had and he alone has made America great? (Sincerely hope there are folks out there who have stockpiled texts of true American history. Publishers?)
🎯🔥🔥🔥
I raised a boy who is 38. He is a good man and father. I and my parents raised him. I was 25 when he was born. I just wanted him to be kind and have social awareness. But, I was a teacher and kept a close items on him too. But, the question has always haunted me…
I’m sure he was running a Bible school air taxi🙄
TRUMP IS SCUM WHERE ARE THE EPSTEIN SEX TAPES????????
