In the last 2 weeks MAGA aligned people have done 2 attempted mass shootings of a gay bar and pride center in Arizona and Texas, murdered 2 teenage girls for mocking Charlie Kirk, and torched a judge's home. Meanwhile, the government mobilized the military to go after the left.

The Democratic establishment waffles about Trump’s police state while the NFL is happy to book the most anti-ICE superstar

Just your daily reminder that the military buildup in the Caribbean is 100% about distracting people from the Epstein files, and because Donald Trump thinks they're less scary than Russia and China

Unemployment is up in 95% of NC counties according to state data #ncpol

Anyone else now wondering whether Tony Blair is in the #epsteinfiles ?

Military people: please don't quit. Make them fire you. Be there and be good. Protect us. #military #usarmedforces

About 25% of women in the military & 6% of men experienced sexual harassment in the past year. 7% of women experienced "unwanted sexual contact" Fewer than a third reported it. Of those who did, 60% say they experienced retaliation.* It's tragic that this situation will almost certainly worsen.

George Hardy, a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel who was one of the last surviving combat veterans of the Tuskegee Airmen, the all-Black squadron in the segregated U.S. military during World War II, and who subsequently flew 45 missions in the Korean War and 70 in the Vietnam War, died at 100.

#WWSBD. While in most facets of life, I don't recommend following his suggestions anytime your political party is faced with a government shutdown. This is the question you must ask yourself, then do what he would do. Steve Bannon, my friends.

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

I was lucky enough to attend a Planned Parenthood event last night and folks, it is *critically* important we keep the organization afloat. Federal money *never* went towards abortions, it helped fund cancer screenings, STI detection, reproductive health, and so much more. PP is a vital resource.

This is absolutely horrifying. Every Republican should condemn this immediately. newrepublic.com/post/201016/...

NEW: Jeffries praises Eric Adams in a statement, saying he has "served courageously and authentically for decades" and that "meaningful progress has been made" during his mayoralty. Says he will "publicly weigh in" on the mayoral race "well before the start of early voting.”

Wait angels, you can prosecute people for lying to Congress?!?!

When will there be seriousness re not taking shooter messaging seriously or literally? part of how they end up shooters is bc of an immersion in manipulative dark humor and trolling culture. We are not their audience. In these cases of videogame obsessed young men, they are talking to each other.

I don't know if #latinousa has always been on @wunc.org at this time on Sunday morning and I was missing it, but I'm here for it. Usually listen as a podcast but really want everyone to hear it.

NOTUS: Dem House Rep Steven Horsford: “They called the local sheriff; they showed up and were going to arrest me. These are the same people that I’m supposed to call to coordinate security or to do support when I have a town hall.” www.notus.org/democrats/me...

The tech freak out has begun

I'm confused. Does #antifa even still exist? This is the first mention I've heard of it in like a decade. 🤣🤣🤣

2 hangings ... Trey Reed, Corey Zukatis - & they say no FOUL Play? WTH? Why isn't this being covered nationally?

@wunc.org and @npr.org need to be covering the death of Trey Reed. Now. Yesterday. With urgency. I believe there were two lynchings in Mississippi yesterday. #treyreed

Ukraine war briefing: Pro-Russian observers ‘call out exaggeration of territorial gains’

In Democratic areas. They cut the polling places only in Democratic areas. It is my goal to do the same to them. I'm not asking for Republicans to be decent any longer. I am demanding we treat them no better than they treat us. Call your blue state governor and demand reciprocity.

We celebrate Labor Day in September rather than May 1st in the United States because the Grover Cleveland administration worried that celebrating it in May like other countries would strengthen left-wing movements around the world. Enjoy your day!

Telling my financial advisor to invest in wheelbarrows immediately

20 Aug 25-- Hillary Clinton advises gay couples to get married now, tells Fox News she predicts Supreme Court will eventually overturn gay marriage 1 decade after its landmark 2015 Obergefell v Hodges ruling. Jim Obergefell agrees with her: tinyurl.com/58naceff @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

When does the American socialist movement start trolling by thanking Trump for finally implementing government ownership of the means of production? @demsocialists.bsky.social maybe holler at the commie social media peeps! #intel #niponsteel also hosting the Russians in their #ussr gear!

Why is the New Zealand government cutting Māori words from some school books?

The Flight Attendants have won this battle. Unpaid work at Air Canada is no more. We don’t know the details yet but this is a huge win. #SlayTheGiants 🇨🇦

Again: this is not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

“It can’t all be on the Texas Reps. We’ve got to do our part.” @ezralevin.bsky.social talks about Saturday’s nationwide protests to fight back against Trump’s effort to rig congressional maps and steal the 2026 election. Find an event near you: www.fightthetrumptakeover.com?SQF_source=i...

Good for the PANTHERS!

If there isn't a Deep State Sandwich Shop food truck operating on the National Mall by the end of the weekend, I'll be very disappointed in the city.

All we have is each other. (Art by @nobonzo.bsky.social)

Managed to enjoy a whole 4 minutes of @npr.org this morning before Netanyahu came on and I had to go back to dystopian epic fantasy audiobooks.

You sure about this, Google?

Seems Mike Johnson has been using campaign funds to pay his rent in DC, which is a major legal no no. www.rawstory.com/mike-johnson...

"What I can say to the people [...] and to everyone watching... is, let's be more empathetic, let's be more humane," shared Andry. Watch his exclusive interview with @TimMiller.bsky.social on @Thebulwark.com and hear firsthand his powerful message for all of us. 🔗 youtu.be/-ySsBj3OOg0?...

The Department of Homeland Security is holding up more than $100 million preapproved dollars intended to help hurricane-battered North Carolina clean up storm damage and fix infrastructure, according to documents obtained by The Post.

We have concentration camps in America and it still has not truly hit public consciousness or the level of discussion we see around other subjects. This is how these things become normalized. We simply cannot let ourselves become desensitized, we *have* to keep pushing the discussion.

A critique of the Democratic Party is not an inherent critique of their voters, nor is it a judgement on anyone's own morality. Point being, there is no need to take it personally when these critiques come up. It's our job to hold the powerful accountable, no matter who.

Noticing a pattern here.

UPDATE: I have the attention of Russ Vought's spokesperson at OMB. Check out the exchange below. I guess now I *am* curious what his dog's name is?? @propublica.org

The cruelty aimed at trans military members who have bled for this country is heinous and disgusting. Even worse is the fact that this is all at the behest of a rapist defense secretary and a draft-dodging, pedophile, rapist president. www.military.com/daily-news/i...

ICE just announced a no-bid contract with BI2 Technologies for iris and facial recognition tech that ICE agents can have on their iPhones. The software scans all databases nationally to identify people.

I'm not a big corporate fan girl, but #hyatt has always been my favorite chain because it has the best food.

Lemme just say if President Bernie Sanders had unilaterally imposed, by executive fiat, hundreds of billions of new taxes, personally browbeat executives about job cuts and investments and then fired the head of BLS, the Chamber of Commerce and the business orgs would not be sitting idly by.
