Probably not a great month to go out fishing in the Gulf now. The US military might be your judge, jury and executioner.
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) - Verdict and sentencing phase of Bolsonaro's attempted coup trial begins in Brazil. @apnews.com
I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable
I’m old enough to remember when we had 47,000 congressional hearings over Hunter Biden allegedly making money off his father’s name. Meanwhile, Trump’s corruption, in the billions, gets openly celebrated.
Thomas Massie said Mike Johnson is actively blocking the release of the Trump Epstein files and trying to block his discharge petition for their release Of course Johnson is blocking the release. Protecting Trump is Johnsons full time job. Mike Johnson works for Trump not the U.S. #ProudBlue
BREAKING: President Trump says the U.S. military strike on a vessel in the southern Caribbean targeted Venezuela's Tren de Aragua gang and killed 11 people.
In the coming days, we expect to see what's playing out in LA and DC happen in Chicago. These efforts are not about fighting crime or making communities safer. This is about Donald Trump testing his power and producing political drama to cover up his own corruption.

The case filed to protect unaccompanied Guatemalan children appears to have been reassigned from Biden-appointed U.S. District Judge Sooknanan to Trump-appointed Judge Timothy Kelly, for reasons not currently specified on the docket. www.courtlistener.com/docket/71240...
Thank You Louisville!!! Indivisible was honored to take part in the Louisville Labor Day parade!!! It was a big event and we about 200 of us showed up to march. Unions and the workers within them are more powerful than any oligarch. Nothing can tear us down.
Cold Civil War gettin' some real nice opportunities to go Hot
Day 224 REALITY CHECK: The election was highly compromised. There was a coup. The Supreme Court was the primary lever. Everything we have witnessed is TREASON. There’s no way out of this without MASS MOVEMENTS of the people. No one is coming to save us. We must rise up in peaceful revolution NOW.

Gavin Newsom mocking Karoline Leavitt as Effie Trinket from the Hunger Games 👏🏼🤣🏆
BREAKING: The Pentagon has authorized up to 600 military lawyers to serve as temporary immigration judges. This is a blatant expansion of military power into a civilian judicial process, a dangerous erosion of the separation between the two. Every day, we inch closer to fascism.
Things feel uncertain right now, Illinois. I want you all to know we’re doing everything we can to protect your rights. Make sure you know how to stand up for yourself and others at illinoisimmigrationinfo.org.
Trump is in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act. Maybe he needs to rethink his pending announcement.
Susan Collins should actually be *concerned*. I'm not sure if Maine wants this, but I've been waiting to hear someone tell everyone who Collins is for more than a decade.
A Democratic super PAC is launching a $700,000 digital ad blitz slamming Susan Collins for opposing a bipartisan bill that would ban members of Congress from trading stocks. This ad accuses Collins of “the worst kind of greed… using insider information to trade stocks.” Please WATCH and SHARE. 👀
Trump's administration has also curtailed a significant portion of the federal government's election security work and installed officials within the Department of Homeland Security who deny the validity of Trump's 2020 presidential loss.
US foreign policy update: friends alienated, enemies united, armed forces spreading mulch in DC. MAGA
Trump and his greedhead cronies may get a big surprise in spite of their efforts to rig the 2026 election. They could find themselves swamped by a blue wave. Americans are wising up to the fact that Trump is turning the American dream into a nightmare.

Hours after trying to assassinate the EU Commission president, Russia tried to assassinate Germany’s military's inspector general, Carsten Breue, the highest-ranking general in the Bundeswehr. His plane was also jammed once over the Baltic Sea and once over Lithuania.
Lipfilled Loomer has an opinion.
Trump sends ICE after people for the equivalent of a misdemeanor,the penalty for the first time offense for entering the country illegally,and pardoned this!
This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime. A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering. 1/4

Something that has been missing from the Trump administration’s review of the Epstein case: considering the survivors. This week, they speak out, and we should all be listening. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
The National Guardners
At the May Day Strong protest in Silver Spring, MD, approximately over 200 people on two Beltway overpasses across from each other, demanding #WorkersOverBillionaires and “No Kings!” The crowd was fired up to save our country. We must all rise up, protest, and take action!
This story just got even worse: Firefighters question leaders’ role in Washington immigration raid Wildfire veterans believe top officials on the fire sent their crews into an ambush
A scary tale about the fragility of democracy, an eerily timeless look at how fascism could take hold in America. Published in 1935. BEFORE World War 2! So scary to read. It’s the only book in which I found myself making notes in the margins. It reads like Trump’s playbook. And probably Hitler’s.
Just so you know, everything that is being pushed out from the Whitehouse is just a ploy to distract us from the Epstein victims testifying on Capitol Hill on Wednesday. Thank you Rep Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Rep Thomas Massie (R-KY) for making this happen. The victims deserve justice! 💥🔥💥
Rick looks so happy with his Russian honeypot. Don’t tell his wife!

You only have until September 19th, to contact the US Forest Service and object to the rollback of protections of our forests!!! Please Go to: Regulations.gov and voice your objection! Thanks to trump 😡 these lands will be sold, forests being cut down and sold off killing only home to our wildlife
An upcoming news conference with victims of Jeffrey Epstein could be “explosive,” one of the congressmen pushing for full release of the files on Epstein predicts. Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna said the victims’ accounts will force lawmakers to vote on a bill requiring DOJ to release its files.
Will we need more? Yes,the MAGAs are brainwashed and they aren't coming back.
Trump wants us to get used to the sight of armed troops in (blue) cities so that for the mid-terms he can use them to keep people away from polling stations.

NEW: Judge Sooknanan now orders the govt to explain why it has failed to meet her 4 p.m. ET deadline to give a status update on the Guatemalan children who are supposed to be removed from planes and returned to Office of Refugee Resettlement custody.
Trump's allegations against Lisa Cook are not the story. The story is that a Trump loyalist is deeply corrupting agency processes for the express purpose of manufacturing pretexts for referring Trump's leading enemies for DOJ prosecution. Dug into this process here: newrepublic.com/article/1996...
NEWS Robert Mueller Has Parkinson’s Disease. The former special counsel, who led the Russia investigation during President Trump’s first term, has had difficulty speaking in recent months and will not be able to comply with a request that he testify before Congress. Full Story: nyti.ms/4g7ABjM
Vermont Governor, Phil Scott, rejected a request from Trump to deploy the state's National Guard to Washington, D.C., as part of a federal crackdown on crime. This was the second time in recent months that Scott, a Republican, declined a request for the state's Guard.
Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

THIS IS ALL MERRICK GARLAND’S FAULT.
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.
Jill Stein and Cornel West both disgust me — such goddamn, self-serving hypocrites.

Russia kills children from a distance with missiles and drones. Those who fall under its control, it steals — erasing their Ukrainian identity. Russia forges their names, their documents, their entire lives. Children are forced to forget who they are. (Bring Kids Back UA)
It took cops three hours to finally go into the Pulse nightclub the night of the shooting. If you wander near a crosswalk in Florida with a piece of chalk right now you'll have four cops on you in under five seconds.🤷♂️

#EpsteinFiles
Thoughts and prayers are as effective at keeping shooters out of schools as they are at keeping pedophiles out of the White House.
Pritzker on Trump sending troops into cities: "He has other aims other than fighting crime... he would like to stop the elections in 2026 or frankly take control of those elections. He'll just claim there's some problem with an election and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control."
Donald Trump is once again threatening to issue an executive order targeting voting. This is an effort to subvert the Constitution and the 2026 election, which grants states and Congress but not the president power to regulate federal elections. If he does this, we will sue and we will win (again).
The gold metal in mental gymnastics goes to these people. Went did they change their mind about #EpsteinFiles I wonder? Release the files!
