I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

The Peshtigo Fire occurred on October 8, 1871, killing an estimated 1500 people when a rampaging forest fire incinerated the entire Wisconsin town. ... If only they'd had rakes. SMH.

First they came for the journalists: Nineteen years ago Anna Politkovskaya, a Russian journalist, author, and advocate for human rights, was killed by gunshot in the elevator of her residential building in the heart of Moscow. That wasn't the beginning but it seems to have been the tipping point.

Better late than never.

The US is all hepped up on the idea guns protect us from authoritarian governments. We've seen how that turned out.

Oh the Repub party does have donors “The billionaires who donated more than Griffin for the 2024 US election were Mellon banking heir Timothy Mellon ($197M), Duck and E Uihlein of the shipping supplies company Uline Inc. ($133.8M), Elon Musk ($132.7M),& Vegas Sands owner Miriam Adelson ($132.4 M).”

Illinois Staatspolizei have been documented aiding ICE at the Broadview, Illinois facility. While state law (the Illinois TRUST Act) bars troopers from directly enforcing immigration law, they have joined ICE. ...Fixed it.

Does anyone remember this? I certainly do. Hold Trump accountable for a shutdown. Those are his words😉 #TrumpsHealthCareShutdown

The biggest difference: the generals on our side were thinking "The only items in the Plus column are 1. his capacity for evil is limited by his low intellect, monumental ignorance, and indifferent grasp of reality 2. he's probably going to stroke out before he reaches his full potential for damage"

Trump Audibly Counting Non-White Generals I would not have guessed "Onion headline" in the quiz. It is that bad.

Sure. Left wing terrorism is at an all time high, going from 3% of domestic terror fatalities to 4%. Right wing terrorism on the other hand has dipped to an all time low of 95% So technically, yeah.

This is why you need to install that Bluesky bookmark tool.

Anything goes when it comes to His Flatulence's need to distract from the Epstein files. Somewhere a dog is about to be wagged.

It’s all going to come out.

Thomas: Corrupt, manifestly corrupt. PS: Release the Epstein files.

WOW. This entire story is HORRIFIC. This is FOIA of a body cam from the raid in upstate New York the same day as the Hyundai plant. It catches a Border Patrol agent on camera only bragging about denying medical care to migrants detained at the border under Biden — who he says are all "animals." 1/3

One-percenters rule, 99-ers drool Thus after 30yrs of stagnant wages despite tremendous growth in productivity & profits, one can only conclude: Union busting pays.

Bobby Brainworm's incompetence is becoming inescapable even to the KoolAid addicts.

So somebody explain it to me -- His Maganificence's approval is 37% but 90% want the Epstein files released, so there's at least 27% that are yes to both. Why do they think #MiracleEar is burying the files? What do they think is in the files?

Chris Murphy: "Trump's Ukraine policy is just who was in the room last. What he said here in New York was helpful and positive for Ukraine, but next week he'll be attacking Zelenskyy as a corrupt dictator. The real bottom line is that he hasn't actually done anything to help Ukraine."

AI is a beautiful thing.. Fact checking Trump's UN statements today: To give you a factual barometer on President Trump's speech at the UN General Assembly today, here is a summary of some of his key statements and how they align with available facts, based on reporting and analysis. 🧵

"This generation of Americans has a rendezvous with destiny." - FDR, 1936 Well, THIS generation has reached our rendezvous with destiny. Clearly, we are destined to serve as a warning to others.

The most important thing to know about Trump’s acetaminophen announcement is that the GOP is still hiding the Epstein files

‪Steve Rattner‬: The Fed’s outlook for GDP growth isn’t very optimistic — below 2% for the next 3 years.

Truth.

Lo-tech, cheap & effective.

PLEASE SHARE THIS EVERYWHERE YOU CAN! WE MUST MAKE THIS UNDERSTOOD! THANKS! 💙

Of every election cycle from 2012 to 2024, the 2018 election cycle had the highest number of U.S. House retirements at 50, and the 2020 election cycle had the fewest at 37. Thus far, 27 House incumbents have announced they're not seeking reelection in 2026.

Some people are waking up like Mia Farrow in Rosemary's Baby and realizing, "OMG this isn't a nightmare, THIS IS REAL!"

PS: Release the Epstein files.

Why can’t everybody get on this case about releasing the Epstein files again get on this case about releasing the Epstein files again

Yes, release the Epstein files!!!

SOCIAL SECURITY CHICKENS Ten Years Out... By acting now, lawmakers could return Social Security’s trust funds to 75 years of solvency if they increase payroll taxes by 3.65 percentage points, reduce total benefits by 22% or lower benefits for new beneficiaries by 27%. Tick,tick,tick... --Kiplinger

Now, let's get back on track.

The GQP is all about #WeaponizedHypocrisy

Charlie said it was impossible to avoid gun deaths in a society with an armed citizenry, but the benefits of gun rights outweigh the costs. “It’s worth, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights,” he said.

I don't support what happened to Charlie but Charlie did support what happened to Charlie. And how convenient that breaking Epstein news isn't getting MSM attention. Would you put it past #DonPedo to order a false flag hit? Anyone else picking up the odor of a Rattus rattus?

Now we know how bright and shiny an object has to be to chase Epstein off MSM's Hot Topic du Jour.
