www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6GvjPcr/ How in the HELL does any government lawfully deport 600 unaccompanied minors? Who does that? Who the fuck are we? What are we? What have we become?

My nation's politics, I've always assumed has been irrelevant to most people in the world. I rarely ever find any purpose in talking about it because I find it hard to believe that anyone but ourselves would care, but Indonesian police brutality is truly incredible.
Raddatz asks how anyone could object to the National Guard in DC because carjackings are down 87%. Brilliant. If they hermetically sealed all DC residents inside their homes, they could get that stat down to nothing at all. Should we do that, Martha?

I love the humor of this post, but seriously if anyone else gets a Nobel Peace Prize before José Andrés or Greta Thunberg does, I will riot in the streets.

Clean energy isn’t “woke.” It’s an essential part of our energy future and saves us all on power bills. This administration’s war on offshore wind and solar is just going to raise Americans’ utilities.
We need a campaign of mass civil disobedience to Trump’s gangster junta. Gandhi's civil disobedience campaign involved peaceful resistance to unjust colonial policies, aiming to disrupt the system & force the British to concede to their demands. We need creative thinking around these goals.
Programs designed to help low income residence pay their energy bills are being eliminated. How many elderly, disabled, and working poor are going to freeze to death this winter?
Boom! More states need to step up! #arrestice
🚨BREAKING: Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe (R) reinforced GOP power grabs sweeping the country, calling a special legislative session Friday to redraw congressional districts and weaken the ability of voters to pass laws through ballot initiatives. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Some Maine residents could see health care premiums rise by as much as $900 a month next year, thanks to Republicans letting the ACA subsidies end. Think about that. $900...PER MONTH. But don't worry, Maine. I'm sure Susan Collins is very 'concerned'. www.newscentermaine.com/article/news...
RFK's idea that disease is good, actually, is not just eugenicist - it's literally on the extreme bad edge of eugenics. Many original eugenicists understood that preventable disease killed "fit" and "unfit" alike. They wanted to prevent disease and practice public health. /1
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.
CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @mluckovichajc)
someone should put together a "kennedy death count" for everyone who dies of a preventable disease and just plaster it everywhere www.statnews.com/2025/08/28/c...
Comparing a $200M ballroom addition to a basketball court is delusionally wild.
Daskalakis: I very specifically use the term pregnant people, and very specifically added my pronouns at the end of my resignation letter to make the point that I am defying this terrible strategy of trying to erase people
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.

He's an investment executive with no medical or scientific background. He probably isn't even CPR certified. And... he's in charge of the CDC, which is in control of BSL-4 labs... that's Ebola, Marburg, etc... This is like putting a cub scout in charge of nukes. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Thousands of DC residents chanting “fuck Jeff Bezos” outside of the P Street Whole Foods
In his resignation letter, the former Director, National Center for Immunization & Respiratory Diseases at CDC wrote, "…only the strong will survive, and many, if not all, will suffer." Yes, they want most of us dead.
🚨Now in D.C. 🚨 “Hey hey, ho ho, millionaires have got to go!”
If they take away antidepressants and anti-anxiety medication we will see murder and suicide rates spike. It's almost like that's what they want.
What people need this fall is a strong CDC, access to vaccines and medicine, common sense gun reforms, affordable groceries, lower energy costs, job creation, community, mutual aid, empathy, courage in the face of tyranny, and to not spend one more damn cent enriching corporations and billionaires.
Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.
Corporate media is all Trump, All the Time. That is by design. Their goal is to help Trump suck up all the oxygen. That is why need independent media now more than ever. My new article on what corporate media ignored this week that was great for Dems deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/great-news...
He also said, “I can do anything I want, I’m the president of the United States.” The man wants to be king, but we became our own country to never again be ruled by one.
Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadn’t happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.
That is the absolute gruesome truth.
If we aren't willing to endure some hardship right now and shut this shit down, then we deserve everything that's coming to us. We all see it, yet few are willing to do without comfort or conveniences today, to avoid the horrors coming tomorrow. Blue states stop funding! GENERAL STRIKE NOW.

She was brought to the US as an 8yo, worked hard, studied, earned a scholarship, planned to become a nurse. ICE kidnapped her. Held her for 6 MONTHS in a detention facility with conditions so miserable that she finally agreed to voluntarily move to Honduras, which her family left at gunpoint.
The Trump regime is blatantly and purposefully endangering all of us--you, your kids, nieces and nephews, neighbors' kids, grandkids, friends, entire families--by decimating systems built over decades 2 ensure we all benefit from more than a century of research on preventing the spread of diseases.
It's time to remove Robert F. Kennedy Jr from government before he kills us all
I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees. No refugee underfunded a school. No refugee closed a hospital. No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled. We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!
Trump fired Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, marking the first time in U.S. history that a president has tried to fire a sitting member of the Federal Reserve Board. The move raises questions about the limits of executive power over the central bank.

An initiative aimed at boosting Democrats online offers influencers up to $8,000 a month to push the party line. All they have to do is keep it secret—and agree to restrictions on their content. www.wired.com/story/dark-m...
It was one gunman, but two political parties are complicit. This won't end until we elect legislators who are more beholden to the people than they are to special interests like the NRA. The vast majority of Americans want to end this madness. So why don't we?
Let them know in Massachusetts we put a wealth tax (a Minuscule one btw) and our millionaire population grew by 35%. They love to fear monger. If the wealthy leave, let em…
Does anyone know what happened between May and August this year?
Attempting to rig elections on his behalf. Turning the military on citizens. Toying with the idea of declaring martial law. Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out against his regime. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

One day your children will feel shame over what you are doing today. They'll be embarrassed to talk about your service.
@governor.ca.gov we love the Trump mockery, but you still need to address the serious issues at home. What's up with LAPD?
The National Weather Service is hiring. Here is part of the application.
Remember your oath to the Constitution.
Bishop James Conley of Lincoln, Nebraska, expressed concern Aug. 22 about "safeguarding human dignity" of detainees after the state's governor announced plans for a migrant detention center dubbed "Cornhusker Clink."
I just listened to some of Nigel Fs speech on planned mass deportations. Mark this date. It’s a big step onto fascism. Look at ICE kidnappings in the US zero due process. That’s what’s being sold here.

Florida banned The Diary of Anne Frank. Whoever signed off on that should have to eat every page of that book — one by one — and choke on the lesson they’re trying to erase. 📚🔥 #BannedBooks #AnneFrank
The prolonged public torturing of a single man because the state cannot admit to its errors is not something that occurs in a free country
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
USA just bought 10% of Intel. Can’t afford universal healthcare, but at least Washington owns your CPU now.
Hey if people who love cracker barrel like it because of the mom and pop feel how about checking out real mom and pop places in their state that serve actual home cooked meals. help small businesses not a giant corporation

TikTok released new community guidelines, which go into effect September 13, that will effectively halt any and all content that the Trump administration finds displeasing or problematic. The app is going full authoritarian crackdown.
As DC was taken over by Trump’s secret police, where were congressional Democrats? They weren’t in DC and some weren’t even in the US. Instead of fighting back against the authoritarian takeover here at home, 22 House “Democrats” were being spoon-fed lies about Gaza on a trip paid for by AIPAC.
ICE got their unmarked vehicle towed while two masked men pinned a woman face down on the ground. She later needed medical attention.
D.C. TODAY…
There's never any viral videos from the perspective of the claims denier who works for a health insurance company. The videos are always from the POV of a physician exposing how corrupt the US healthcare system is. That's because the "healthcare system" is organized crime with a couple extra steps.
Are those the Epstein files?

We need to tax the rich! They’ve rigged the system for too long. Repost if you agree.
This is ABC News reporter Rachel Scott. She is the one who asked Putin when he would stop killing civilians in Ukraine. She’s also the one who stood up to Trump several times. Kudos to Rachel Scott, one of the few brave reporters out there…
