"you can't replace those children". it's egregious that he would hide behind the very children his corruption killed.
Seen on my run in Rock Creek Park today. Parking lot near Beach and Tilden. Paper taped on over a Harris 2024 sign.
The damage this man has done is incalculable.
For decades, Republicans in Washington have told us that tax cuts would trickle down to workers. Instead, wealth and power have accumulated in the hands of the richest 1% at the expense of the rest of us. Trickle-down economics was never supposed to work. It was a hoax.
Love to rebound from an internet fiasco by dating the person the Internet’s most notorious stan base hates most in the world.
this garbage framing really needs to stop. it's not about crime. we know this. asking people how they feel about crime pretends that it is about crime. pretending it's about crime is supporting trump's framing. stop it.
Oil?
Beautiful ridgeback for sure. Maybe it's working hunting dog for "you're mine and I want to eat you?" I mean, they are sight hounds - don't let that donkey start running.
This reminds me of a Martin Luther King quote I came across earlier this year that resonated with me given...everything about both me and the world lol "The American people are infected with racism--that is the peril. Paradoxically, they are also infected with democratic ideals--that is the hope."
Gun control now before many more kids die! Minneapolis: The shooter did not act alone. He was assisted by 219 members of the House, 53 Senators, hundreds of NRA lobbyists, and one President.
Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve on the Minnesota shooting: "The sad thing is we can't sit here and tell them that help is on the way. Because we're not going to do a damn thing about it."
This. It's a machine that is not fit for purpose and dangerous to its users.
AMERICA: “It’s a mental health issue.” REST OF THE WORLD: “We have those. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA: “It’s video games.” WORLD: “We have those too. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA B: “It’s cause they took Jesus out of the classroom.” WORLD: “God, you’re stupid.”

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature
I was just thinking of Ann Landers- the 1969-70's era advice columnist - and her tagline MYOB- mind your own business. I'm going to start using it again. Thanks
We should normalize saying “it's really none of your business” when people ask very personal questions
I don’t need a self driving car. I need a vehicle that runs between major areas and can transport large numbers of people at once to reduce environmental impact…wait it’s a train. I’m describing trains. Build more goddamned TRAINS, America.
I've worked with those impacted by SA since true 1990's. So many impacted by SA in church, and in church going families. You are so right, children have never been safe in churches.
Woodbury County, the Iowa county in which district that flipped tonight is entirely located, split roughly evenly in the 2008 & 2012 presidential races. Then, huge swing: Trump won it by 17% in 2016 & 23% in 2024. The district, about half of county, swung 21% to Dems today compared to last year.
NEW RESULT: Democrats have flipped a state Senate in Iowa. This was a seat Trump carried by 11%, but Democratic nominee Catherine Drey has just won it by 10.4%. This is the second legislative flip by Dems in Iowa this year. It also means the GOP loses its supermajority in Iowa’s senate.
If you've not come across Elephant Graveyard yet then I'd recommend checking this out. He offers a pretty convincing account of what's going on in the Rogan bro world. Sadly this cult has a huge impact on public discourse. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewvR...
Such a great thread.
Going to be wild to have Clarence Thomas and other members of the court write that even the appearance of impropriety is sufficient to allow the President to remove Federal Reserve members from office, and then head off to Harlan Crow’s yacht
It wasn't when I made the reply.
Ask yourself why Trump's DOJ is treating Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted child trafficker, with kid gloves – and yet is seeking to deport (kidnap) Kilmar Abrego Garcia a second time. There's only one answer.
Good to know

It's not an either/or it's a both/and/and.
Gov JB Pritzker (D-IL) “This isn’t a time to pretend there are two sides to this story. This is not a time to fall back into the reflexive crouch that I so often see, where the authoritarian creep by this administration is ignored in favor of some horse race piece on who will be helped politically”
Donald Trump illegally tries to fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook, once again aiming to exceed the powers the Constitution grants the President. lisa Cook refuses to concede to the illegal act and vows to stay put.
that's right reposting w alt text
Epstein trafficked teen girls. Trump ran multiple beauty pageants for teen girls. This was not a coincidence.
In Middleton, NY. This guy probably saved his neighbors from Trump's masked thugs. This is how you firmly assert your rights and stand up for our communities.
Let's not lose sight that Nicole Collier is the OG who drew the spotlight here and does not have a permission slip to tear up for this performative political theater
OPINION: "Demonologists offered no original analysis, no evidence and no witnesses, failing to meet the standards of good scholarship," Julia Walsh writes.
I am sorry people are learning how violent this country is, but a switch was not just flipped this year.
RADDATZ: The president went in to that meeting saying he wanted a ceasefire and there would be consequences if they didn't agree on a ceasefire in that meeting, and they didn't agree to a ceasefire. Where are the consequences? RUBIO: That's not the aim RADDATZ: The president said that was the aim
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."
Being interviewed by Terry Gross ruined all other interviewers for me. "Well prepared" doesn't even begin to cover it, and she is just so generous in the conversation. It's like playing tennis with Serena Williams but she only wants to keep the volley going as long as possible.
Yes, I think he's trying to steal the 2026 election. www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...
never been a better tine to get out of the Guard
164 years later, South Carolina finally occupies Washington.
Firing and demoralizing feminized jobs as enemies of the state while brazenly bribing men with violent jobs that almost instantly puts them into the middle of middle class is very basic gendered warfare. Fulfilling the manosphere’s promise.
The right built an entire separate legal movement (CLS) to ensure they had far right judges, clerks, amicus, schools, etc. The Powell Memo is 1971 Horowitz report 1980 Fed Soc 1982 Bork rejected 1987 And this guy is like: "is it because of Bork?" HOW DOES TIME WORK?

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.
WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE SEND DEATH THREATS TO A VICTIM OF RAPE? HMMM🤔
I asked a retired Oxford historian about the most catastrophic historical event in his lifetime; he said Munich. He then added that the election of Donald Trump in 2024 will be even worse.
You know how people called women hysterical for predicting the right wing would take down Roe v. Wade (which they've done) and then attack access to birth control (which they're doing)? Hear me when I say that women's very right to vote is next. www.npr.org/2025/08/09/n...
Sounds like grounds for impeachment
Things were always going to be bad but they are 100x worse because of how the democrats behaved in the transition period and his first 100 days.
Ain’t that the truth Gawd what were people thinking with these Megalomaniacs🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
The Danes showed that you do not wait for permission to fight fascism. They resisted in small and big ways. They saved almost every Jewish neighbor. Fascism cannot survive without obedience. Ours still does. Refuse to comply. Protect the targeted. Make the collaborators sweat.
Hm. This is nice.
Telling the truth is always the work. Everyone has work to do and it’s actually kind of wild to watch folks believe that focusing on conversations is good to the point they are attacking historians but hey go off

Rep. @aoc.bsky.social making the point that a vote against Zohran is a vote for Trump, and Dem leaders refusing to back him can’t expect to ask for support for other races down the line. @repjeffries @senschumer
Same as it ever was. Why do so many folks who have been sexually attacked refuse to report. Because police and courts protect the perpetrators, not the victims
That's so stupid. This country is fucked up but it's not because of participation trophies . It's because the GOP is lawless. That's it. FFS- blame the correct people if you must throw blame/start another generational war.
We have to realize we are trapped in an abusive relationship with Trump and his GOP sycophants. You do not free yourself from abuse by being nice, rather you fight like your life depends on it. Because,as their agenda progresses, our lives or the lives of someone we love may be at stake.

Christ. “Flood survivors…described losing children, going days without contact from emergency management and discovering human remains still scattered in waterways even after victims…were officially marked as found.” And the TX GOP is focused on gerrymandering. www.texastribune.org/2025/07/31/t...
What a fucking evil, vile, vengeful demon Crusty Gnome is, and now ICE takes this PREGNANT US citizen in an operation? The cruelty never stops
Laura Kelley, D governor of Kansas is saying it.
ATTENTION📢 “For folks watching at home that believe that voters should pick their politicians instead of Donald Trump picking your member of Congress, call your governor. Call your state legislator & tell them to fight back against what’s happening in Texas.”- @repcasar.bsky.social #MessWithTexas
DCCC was, and continues to be, a curse.
Family of Virginia Giuffre re: Ghislaine Maxwell prison transfer "It's w/ horror & outrage that we object to the preferential treatment convicted sex trafficker G. Maxwell has received.. Maxwell is a sexual predator who physically assaulted minor children.. she should never be shown any leniency"
Trump doesn't want you to know what's in the Epstein files – so he's repositioning nuclear subs around Russia. Do you think he's guilty yet?
Dr. Erika McEntarfer has devoted her career to public service. She has conducted herself as BLS Commissioner with great integrity. There is no evidence whatsoever that BLS data are politically biased. #econsky
Donald Trump took away your Medicaid to build himself a gilded party room two acres in size.
"The trainwreck we’re seeing play out in Texas is just the most vivid example of the Supreme Court’s 2019 decision come home to roost. It won’t be easy, but there must be a national fix."
We’ve lost all moral authority on freedom of speech and suppression of political opposition.
Some people's inner dialogue is unconscious. It's easier to work with when you know you have one.
They waited *more than an hour* to enter the Hortman home after watching Mark Hortman get shot in the doorway Unbelievably tragic & heartbreaking And, of course, they publicly congratulated themselves on a great, lifesaving police response when they’d let a lawmaker bleed out. Uvalde is everywhere
Hey DOD, there's your actual pacing threat!👇
This is serious. Very serious.
Packed house in Dayton this afternoon for a town hall with Maxwell Frost & Chris Murphy .. “Electric” .. folks are engaged & ready to act .. GO Dems !
Convicted predators who rape and abuse children shouldn’t qualify for pardon consideration. A president who can’t immediately say “absolutely not” when I asked if he’s considering such a pardon should be hounded out of office.
Never forget that Maxwell sexually assaulted kids. If Trump pardons her to save his own skin, he is letting a sex offender go free so he can lie about being a rapist.
Emmett Till would be 84 today. Not 114. Not 104. 84. He would be my uncle. Not great-great or great uncle. One of my parents' siblings. This is why we remember.
Congressional Dems need to launch a no-knock systemwide ICE detention audit during recess. Multiple members at each site, wearing body cameras, with photo drones; demand access, census, interviews. Livestream everything. Blitz the news and run ads in all red districts. Hit them before the buildup.
As an Australian my choice is the man on the podium with the 2 American athletes who are wearing his gloves. This incident destroyed his career & his life. He was vilified & ostracised at home not allow to compete any more. Smith & Carlos showed great respect they were pallbearers at his funeral
Haven't heard that for a minute!

I am no constitutional scholar, but I can't help but feel that "the President gets to dictate what every university can teach and what every television station should broadcast" is closer to what the founding fathers were worried about when it comes to free speech than trigger warnings on syllabi.
