Kamala Harris ~ “We refuse to kneel at the foot of a tyrant…We believe in the Constitution. We believe in the power of the vote. And we are prepared, when necessary, to fight fire with fire.” “And part of what I’m here to say today is other states need to step up too.” #YesOnProp50

Here, fixed it.

On December 14, 2012, a mass shooter murdered 20 children, ages 6 and 7, and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut. Four days later, evangelical author James Dobson claimed the mass shooting was God's retribution for abortion and gay marriage. He died today at 89.

Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals — Illinois Pride Connect. As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.

I wish more politicians understood how the economy is rigged against regular people the way Bill Burr does.

Do you know how insane and infuriating it is to live in a country where one party claims, with media and public support, the mantle of being the ‘tough on crime’ party while its leader openly calls for convicted criminals to be released from prison ‘or else’?

The President cannot commandeer any local law enforcement. The President does not run the Smithsonian. The monthly BLS jobs report is required by law. Release the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

As I reminded a few weeks back, these concentration camps will be continually established around the United States. Concentration camps will be the norm in the United States. It’s important we call these facilities what they are.

The catharsis theory in psychology proposes that expressing anger outwardly provides relief. However, according to hundreds of studies, venting anger or engaging in other arousal-increasing activities are ineffective and may worsen aggression.

What's happening at Tesla is a smaller version of what Trump is doing to America — fleecing it while running it into the ground. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/why-is-musk-getting-a-29-billion

How elections are rigged: UNLIMITED corporate donations UNLIMITED FOREIGN donations There’s a bunch of other shit too but these right here make our “democracy” a JOKE! And that joke has ENDED. No punch line.

More women have nearly bled to death during miscarriage under Texas’ abortion ban. Experts say the trend paints a troubling picture of the harms of unnecessary delays in care. “This is striking,” one doctor said. “The trend is very clear.”

The vast majority of American adults are stressed about the cost of groceries, a new poll finds, as prices continue to rise and concerns about the impact of Trump’s tariffs remain widespread.

You’ve heard of Donald Trump. But have you heard of Russell Vought? He’s the man behind Project 2025—a 900-page roadmap for dismantling democracy and rebuilding it in the image of the far-right. Six months in, Trump is executing this plan step-for-step. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/project-20...

It ain't going away, no it ain't going away....

I originally thought it a good thing when dog-whistling politicians finally allowed their racism to show overtly. I thought they’d be seen for what they were, booted off the media and thrown out of their parties. I was a fool.

Utahns have faced what the state’s Division of Consumer Protection calls a “staggering” amount of losses — $32 million in the past three years — to construction fraud.

VOA director Michael Abramowitz, who is leading the legal effort to protect the agency from Trump cuts, says he's been terminated from his role.

The CBO’s final dynamic score: “.. Because the bill’s red ink is not offset by more spending cuts or new revenue, CBO found, the legislation will drive up interest rates.” @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/08...

@jamestalarico.bsky.social: "As a state rep, I get paid about $600 a month. That's not much to live off of. Many of my colleagues, including myself, we have day jobs that help us pay the bills. And by breaking quorum, we are leaving those day jobs behind... So this decision was not made lightly."

Folks, I assure you the GOP has more than redistricting up their sleeves to control the 2026 election, if they even allow us to have one. It’s time for Gavin Newsom and JB Pritzker to launch investigations into the 2024 election, and get us forensic data on what really happened.

In an alarming move, the Department of Justice has demanded voter and election information from at least 19 states

To do health disparities research you MUST consider social factors. Despite statements suggesting that “health disparities are still acceptable to research” this definition of DEI contradicts that. Russ Vought said last week that an entire institute of the NIH is DEI (referring to NIMHD).

REPORTER: Should Israel be doing more to allow food in Gaza? TRUMP: Say it? R: Should Israel be doing more to allow food? T: What is she saying? SOMEONE: Should Israel be doing more to allow food in Gaza? T: You really at least want to have somebody say thank you. We gave $60m for food for Gaza

@isaiahrmartin.bsky.social Using 50 cent song doesn't fit you as he's a Trump supporter.

Given his performance on @cnn.com, it’s time to tell this story again. Vought’s daughter is alive because of NIH. He’s destroying an institution that saved his daughter’s life. @mrjoncryer.bsky.social @jamellebouie.net @atrupar.com www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

This is a human rights violation. Multiple detainees described a disturbing incident where dozens of men were forced to eat food they had been denied all day while shackled. “We had to bend over and eat off the chairs with our mouths, like dogs,” — from a new Human Rights Watch report.

BREAKING via NYT: The Times found another admiring note Donald Trump wrote to Jeffrey Epstein. “To Jeff — You are the greatest!” reads an inscription in a copy of Mr. Trump’s book “Trump: The Art of the Comeback” that belonged to Mr. Epstein. (link in reply)

The Americans with Disabilities Act is turning 35 this Saturday. This EO impacts people with psychiatric disabilities.

Some people ask us: Why is The Union organizing? The answer: Because New Hampshire deserves better (and so does the rest of the country). When benefits are slashed and costs rise, it’s not personal failure, it’s policy failure. That’s why we show up. That’s why we vote. That’s why we organize.
