Science is real
I like the rebrand.
"The lunatics are running the asylum."
Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.
Exactly. It doesn't give him implicit authority, either.
The Constitution provides Congress the power to override a Presidential veto. They aren’t co equal on law passing. Congress is the superlative body.
@nealkatyal.bsky.social: “You’ve got the president who's imposed the largest tax increase on American consumers since 1993 … and he did it without Congress saying one word. That is not our constitutional structure.”
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
Ha. Haha. Haaa. I get it.
No matter what @MarshaBlackburn keeps saying, it’s not criminals they’re targeting. www.cnn.com/2025/08/30/u...
He may be alive, but he’s definitely not well.

RFK Jr. likes to claim that thimerosal in childhood vaccines causes autism spectrum disorder (ASD). So I wonder if he’d like to explain how the rates of ASD diagnoses in the U.S. have kept going up when thimerosal was removed from all childhood vaccines in 2001?
Why do you appreciate unions? I’ll start: Weekends off Paid vacations Work breaks Sick leave Paid holidays No child labor Safer working conditions Health care and retirement benefits
At least SOME countries recognize the value of NATURE and all its offerings.
WAKE UP!
“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.
I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.
Good.
The judges held that the plaintiffs lacked standing — meaning they failed to show any concrete injury from the state’s signature-verification process. Their complaint, the court said, amounted to a generalized partisan disagreement rather than a real harm.
The sad truth. #BlueCrew #Resist #ResistTrump #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #trumpLiesMatter #ImpeachTrumpNOW
there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
You tell him.
Foremost what now?
ENOUGH!! Where are ALL congressional dems demanding that he is fired?? #nokings #nohypocrites #nopedophiles #nonazis #defenddemocracy
😡🤬😡
🙈🙈
But it is the guns. Metal detectors and perimeter controls aren’t going to stop an armed maniac from shooting kids. Just like common sense won’t stop a Fox maniac from shooting his mouth.
I do not understand why government officials resign when asked to do something bad. The resignations will no longer be treated by the public like a scandal. It’ll be out of the news within 24 hours. People should stay and force the White House to fire them. Do not make it easy.
NEW: Kilmar Abrego Garcia is asking a federal judge for a gag order against Kristi Noem, Pam Bondi and their subordinates. w/ @joshgerstein.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2025/08...
Seldom, if ever, have I seen a political cartoon more accurate than this one. I feel like I live on Bizarro World.
Thou shalt not listen to a damn thing that RFK Jr. says.
It's less than 1 year til 250th anniversary of 1776. If we want to celebrate as a real democracy- there has to be a volcanic upheaval of change. Because as it stands now, we'll be in full Third Reich mode. Dems, courts, won't save us. But something big has to happen, and soon, before it's too late.
This week, a federal judge ruled that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service broke the law when it decided not to protect gray wolves in the Northern Rocky Mountains under the federal Endangered Species Act. www.humaneworld.org/en/blog/laws...
Pay attention. Your family’s safety is on the line.
"Ashli Babbitt was a grown ass adult who made a series of conscious, ill-advised decisions to engage in treasonous behavior, and she got exactly what she deserved. She was a traitor. She was a threat to national security. There is no nuance needed here."

As long as guns are easily available to crazy people, mass killings directed at so-called soft targets will continue. This is a fact. Countries where it's more difficult for crazy people to obtain guns have less shootings. This is also a fact. Do with these facts as you will.
Between RFK decimating the CDC, normalizing Ashli Babbitt & the umpteenth school shooting... I'm losing the will to post. #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files
Guns may also be contributing to gun violence.
Oh ffs
PSA to our elected officials: If you refuse to raise taxes on millionaires and you refuse to raise the minimum wage, you are refusing to solve the problems facing our economy today.
This is Thanos. He has figured out how to rest and babysit at the same time. Very impressive, very Montessori. 13/10 (TT: thanosthesaint)
The military leaders need to take a stand. They take an oath to protect this country from tyranny, FOREIGN OR DOMESTIC ENEMIES and preserve the CONSTITUTION OF THE U.S.A, NOT A PRESIDENT? Having military pick up garbage in a park was a new slap in the face to this country and what we stand for.
New rule. A parent may only propose removing a book from the school library only after reading it in its entirety and delivering a book report to the librarian. Until then no discussion shall be entered into.
Vaccines are safe and effective. RFK Jr. isn’t.

The ruling party is giving it up for a white nationalist child rapist dictator because they can’t play in the sandbox with women and people with more melanin. That 21 point swing in Iowa is a good sign that America isn’t buying their bullshit. #GuardingOverPedophiles #RemoveTrump

Only in America do we repeatedly and angrily insist, over the bodies of our dead gunshot children, that guns have nothing to do with gun violence.

DHS is spending half a billion dollars on black paint to make the border wall "harder to climb." A reporter went out with a thermometer and found that the painted sections were either cooler or the same temp as the unpainted sections.🤣 Waste. Fraud. Abuse. www.themirror.com/news/us-news...
Religion is harmful in many ways. We need to keep educating & informing people of the harm it does. Biblical texts have been the backbone of Patriarchy. We need to break it once & for all! #Discover #Atheism #AtheistSky #EduSky🍎 Religion Harm Studies List: pisoproject.wordpress.com/religion-har...
“An extraordinary man is just an average woman.” This phrase flips the hierarchy and makes the point about double standards in how we value achievement. The bar for men is set so low that when they clear it, they’re celebrated. Women do the same, and more, every single day without applause.

It’s outrageous that Sec. Kennedy is trying to fire the CDC Director — after only a few weeks on the job — for her commitment to public health & vaccines. The Sen. HELP Committee must hold a hearing with Kennedy & the CDC Director as soon as possible. Vaccines save lives. Period.

Masked immigration raids don’t protect us. They hide abuse and strip away our dignity. Stand with me in demanding transparency and accountability by adding your name to this petition.

Straight up facts. It's the only answer that makes sense.
Krasner: So, if what you have is a group of ICE agents, or even the military, coming into Philadelphia and committing crimes—assaults that are illegal, kidnapping, unlawful restraint, obstruction of the administration of justice—they can be prosecuted.
I was worried they were starting to get it. It doesn’t appear that will happen anytime soon though.
BREAKING: Trump’s administration just sent letters to 5,000+ banks across America ordering an END to “debanking” practices against U.S. citizens. Supporters call it protecting freedom. Critics warn it’s government overreach. www.dobblog.com/2025/08/trum... #BREAKING #Trump #Banks #America
Jesus Christ. If your credit isn’t frozen at all three bureaus, I would strongly consider doing that now
The Iowa Senate seat that Democratic candidate Catelin Drey flipped tonight has been in GOP hands for 13 years. Not anymore.
Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her. Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.
MSNBC Of the 300 gigabytes of data on the Epstein files that Bondi's DOJ has, they only released 1% to the bipartisan Congressional Oversight Committee, of which only 3% contained new information. 97% was already publicly known.
Never forget that the reason we're all here is because roughly a third were 'cool' with the idea, and roughly a third were too 'cool' to bother participating.

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
On this day in 1916, President Woodrow Wilson signed the Organic Act, officially creating the National Park Service to protect and preserve America’s natural wonders and historic treasures “for the enjoyment of this and future generations.”
