BAD jobs numbers today. Barely any new jobs. Highest unemployment rate in almost 4 years. Economic uncertainty. Anyone who’s looked for a job recently knows the job market sucks. Republican policies are failing the American people.

A CoreCivic detention facility quietly opened in CA’s Mojave Desert even though it failed a fire department inspection and lacks required permits. It can house 3,500 people www.kqed.org/news/1205454...
I bet when the FBI runs informants on high profile suspects they keep records of that sort of thing. One might even call them ‘files’ which, if released, would prove who the relevant informants were
Senator Rand Paul directly and forthrightly takes on JD Vance: "What a despicable and thoughtless sentiment it is to glorify killing someone without a trial."
Well that’s dangerous
ICE GOONS terrorizing the community on the third day of elementary school in Mount Pleasant, Washington D.C.
NIGHTS OF BLUE SKIES (sound up) DAY 6 SEPTEMBER 2025 THESE HORRENDOUS TIMES TODAY Trump "I love the smell of deportations in the morning " "Chicago about to find out why it's called the Department of WAR" CHICAGO LISTEN TO SANITY PLEASE STAY SAFE PLEASE USE CAUTION KNOW YOUR RIGHTS
Everything that has happened with CGI will happen with generative AI.
White House officials when asked about Mike Johnson claiming Trump was an FBI informant.
Crews with @calfire.bsky.social and our partners are making significant progress containing the TCU September Lightning Complex fire. Targeting the blaze from the air and on the ground, responders continue to limit hot spots caused by the dry lightning strikes in the area.
SB 79 will come up for a vote next week in the Assembly and then again in the State Senate. Please give your legislators a call in support of SB 79! (Yep, you can even call and leave a message over the weekend, they'll listen and count it too.)
The San Francisco Chronicle makes the case for SB 79: "The bill would make it easier to boost California’s population in areas with the best infrastructure to support new residents, reinvigorate struggling public transit systems and help workers avoid soul-crushing commutes in gas-guzzling cars."
"Thousands take to the streets of the nation's capital as regime declares war on third largest city" should be a bigger deal all around tbh.
Happening now: smelled a chemical smell wafting from the parking lot, went to check it out. It's Chicago ICE agents unwrapping and assembling a stack of fresh riot shields.
ICE Opens New Supermax Detention Center For Most Hardened Toddlers
Just spoke with my CDC sources. They said RFK Jr. has ordered officials to hide tuberculosis cases, even as three active TB cases were just reported in Maine. He’s also suppressing bird flu reports. Pandemics don’t start with viruses they start with secrecy. RFK Jr. must resign now!
Many new ideas for small reactors will fail and be quietly buried. But for one firm, burial would be just the start
ICE raided a battery plant run by Hyundai & LG Energy that was under construction and arrested hundreds of people including 30 Koreans on business trips. The U.S. government is actively sabotaging the economy and MAGA are too drunk on mass deportations and owning the libs to care.
This is why republicans are so powerful: the more you hate on main stream media commenters the more they will beg for affection, so keep up the hate people. Maybe expand it
He’s just a hooman he needs to be liked by strangers
The federal government has long promised immigration protections to military families. Now, Donald Trump is breaking that promise and sending ICE after them. He's betraying the people who served our country bravely and their loved ones. I won't let that stand.
What Epstein records have not been made public?
I am once again asking you to stop sending us money. But we do need your time. ⏰ zohranfornyc.com/events
The United States Department of Defense is a massive organization, with millions of personnel and thousands of facilities. Do you realize how expensive it is to rebrand something that big? It means new signs, IDs, stationary, etc. On top of everything else, it’d be unprecedentedly huge govt waste.
Or as I shared with my students last class.
Gov. Pritzker enlists the public's help: "What we've asked is that people pull out their iPhone or their Android phone and film what they're seeing. Take a video of everything so see so that we can know if, in fact, laws are being broken by these federal officials coming into our state."
This is all fun and games, but now think of all that code that isn’t on webpages but is in auth for missiles
Nice schadenfreude here, Reuters dug up Bill Pulte's father & stepmother claiming two houses as their primary residence, and when Reuters asked Michigan about it, Michigan yanked their homestead exemption.
Woman w no criminal history detained by ICE after a routine check-in discovered she was pregnant and had a miscarriage while in custody. Judge ordered her released yesterday, citing apparent due process violations. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
‘What sci-fi atrocities would have been stoped by shareholders and which would have been enabled if the firm was public?’ is a fun thing to think about. Umbrella BOWs: probably stopped, no road to profitability UAC hell portals: probably enabled
Reminder: At the start of his legal career, RFK Jr. failed the bar, was forced out as a D.A., and got arrested for heroin. Without the Kennedy name, that story ends there.
I would guess that somebody or several somebodies took significant personal risks to get that North Korea clusterfuck story published
“I wasn’t sure what number you wanted me to go with.” — Zuck, 100% pathetically bitch-made by a man who said he should be thrown in jail for life, appeasing an administration who says his wife’s family isn’t American, loving how RFK is dismantling every public health advancement that CZI ever made.
Well did you get him his sugar water?

Ossoff: He never should have been confirmed by the senate and he needs to resign. It is one thing to be a skeptic or a reformer. It is quite another to be a fool…
As I wrote back in 2019, Ron Johnson has been a traitor for over seven years now...ever since he got back from his Fourth of July trip to Moscow in 2018. No surprise he's been out there spreading Kremlin propaganda about vaccines.
Bought! They are all bought! 😡
you cannot hate Tesla enough
UN Captains: France 🇫🇷 #marvelcomics #captainamerica
Everyone knew this was coming but it’s hilarious that they got themselves caught by James O’Keefe of all people.
The insane amount of actual no-shit gilded age corruption going on makes the revolving door project’s bizarre obsession with bloggers they don’t like look so absurd.
Should say “Regulation” and “movement”
In retrospect of course conservatives would take over the movement by trying to destroy regulation
There goes the neighborhood
The brother of far-right extremist Nate Hochman is a speaker at the Abundance conference 👍
AOC: Millionaires are very overrepresented in congress… If we want a congress that reflects the actual country we seek to represent and fight for, we need to have working class people who work here
LA City Attorney: Businesses are empty and shuttered. The city’s law enforcement personnel have received countless 911 calls about what, for all intents and purposes, looks like a kidnapping. That’s what it looks like — individuals who will not identify themselves.
The last 100 years of US politics
For the first time since the pandemic there are more unemployed people than job openings. Everything is going according to plan, Project 2025.
When Trump says voting to release the files is a “hostile act” we need someone to ask him against who exactly.
Trump: buys teen beauty pageant, employs Giuffre, visits Epstein's house, writes Epstein birthday letter Epstein: Has picture of Trump in his house Survivors: "We can't accuse Trump because he'd sue for defamation..." FBI: Spends 300k hours redacting docs Media: "We'll never know what happened"
For any university folks who work with students seeking internships, my experience suggests that The Disney College Program is effectively a massive scam that allows Disney to undermine their workers' unions by having college students do menial labor for them under the pretenses of an internship.
Rand Paul: "The reason we have trials & we don't automatically assume guilt is what if we make a mistake and they happen to be people fleeing the Venezuelan dictator? ... off our coast it isn't our policy just to blow people up ... even the worst people in our country, they still get a trial."
The US does not have the right to outright murder people in international waters. The US under this regime is a terrorist state.
when you can recruit a nepo baby with no political experience that invited ghislaine maxwell to her wedding to run for a safe blue seat, you simply gotta do it!
Pritzker: Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: Once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next
In 2001 Peruvian forces, acting on US-provided intelligence, shot down a planeload of US missionaries over the Amazon. Bad things happen, often, when forces kill civilians aboard vessels or aircraft without a clear self-defense justification. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001_Pe...
Operation reciprocity
I feel like in the 1980’s/90’s this would be a major plot point in a Tom Clancy novel, and the operation would be carried out as an off-book, illegal black op, with various characters trying to cover it up lest they face congressional hearings. Now the President just announces it.
I want a republican to explain it to me... like I am five years old.. why?
Well it’s not over and it’s still horrific.
No notes
she knows...
A nationwide ban on partisan gerrymandering would be a high-leverage priority for the Democrats in 2026 and esp 2028. It is incredibly popular, more popular with anti-system “disaffected” voters (who were disproportionately likely to switch to Trump in 2024) www.gelliottmorris.com/p/democrats-...
It's really quite a thing to have a Secretary of Energy who does not understand, ummm... energy.
It’s like a slow motion civil war.
Definitely a lost battle under this admin, but if we do eventually return to normalcy, would really appreciate a hard requirement that every announced use of force by the state be accompanied by stating the authority under which it occured
We are filing a request for a preliminary injunction to block the extension of soldiers’ deployment in Los Angeles through Election Day. There was never a need — and there is certainly no need now — for troops to be deployed against their own communities.
Its a fucking single digit passenger boat. They could've tracked them to the border and saved millions in ordinance.
In case anyone was wondering this is how the USCG professionally disables narco smuggling vessels without loss of life. Or at least used to. That was just a wholesale murder in international waters.
Did they really just shoot a missile at a fucking speed boat?
This! I work on computer vision neural networks and I can’t tell you the number of smart people that have pitched ai upscalers to improve our detect capabilities.
everyone on this website to the right of me is a bot. everyone to the left is in an echo chamber. this place is dying.
The US far left hates the Democratic Party, especially centrist figures such as Joe Biden. The US far right is in control of the Republican Party and US govt, enacting far right policies right now. The party most pundits chastise for indulging extremism is the Democrats. What a massive symmetry.
Remember all, Matt Yglesias’ business model is to alternately troll left and right on social media, to drive engagement and drive traffic/subscriptions to his writing. Also, his overall agenda is status quo centrism. 1/
the 26.2 sticker on my car is for how many la croix i drink per day
The fact that we Angelenos don’t take pride in the fact that the Hass avocado is from L.A. County (La Habra Heights) is one of those inconsequential things I regularly get angry about. Why does this place have so little pride in or even awareness of itself?!? So many L.A. things like that.
Smart person word salad
He also undermined all our alliances and friendships with endless stupid tarrifs
Trump did this. Trump embraced a murderous dictator, helping him return to the world stage. We are all less safe as a result. 3 years ago: "the Russian president seemed isolated and on the ropes" Now: "Mr. Putin’s fortunes have changed" www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/w...
Finally watched K-Pop Demon Hunters today. Not my favourite style of music but the animation and performances were fun. Loved the facial expressions.
Telling Jews to “go back to Poland,” when 90% of Poland’s Jews were murdered in the Holocaust—and those who returned after faced endless violence—has nothing to do with Gaza and everything to do with wanting Jews to be killed.
