Headline correction: domestic terrorists kidnapped a 5 year old girl & held her hostage in order to kidnap her father. #Pinks

"They don't need the money, but we're giving it to them" is quite the defense. Basically, they want to help the right-wing party running the country into the ground win upcoming elections. apnews.com/article/trum...

Long Covid has now overtaken Asthma in the US, as a cause of chronic health disease in children. There is currently no cure. Yet no action is being taken and Violet Affleck is very much on point.

Why is the U.S. cutting jobs and eliminating federal programs, but going to bailout the right wing government in Argentina? Does MAGA=Make Argentina Great Again?

Odd, how we can’t afford to give Americans healthcare, but we can afford to drop $200,000,000,000 on Argentina with a moment’s notice.

🚨NEW REPORT: The U.S. incarcerates women at a higher rate than almost any other country in the world So much for the “land of the free” 🧵

Same day that Spain and Italy announced they'll be launching warships to accompany the Flotilla, Israel is now asking if they could kindly just drop off the baby formula at the nearest port

Over on Threads, Meta is identifying random people as “possible antifa”.

Ken CHESEBRO, an architect of Trump's bid to remain in power despite losing the 2020 election, has been suspended from practicing law in D.C. (he'd already been disbarred/suspended in several states) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

DHS subpoenaed Meta for information about an account that posts names and images of the ICE agents raiding our communities, but @aclu-norcal.bsky.social and advocates are pushing back. Recording federal agents while on duty in public — and sharing that information — is our First Amendment right.

In case you needed ANOTHER reason to cancel Paramount Plus (you know, besides making racist transphobe Bari Weiss head of @cbsnews.com or saying they won't work with actors who support Palestine), they're just broadcasting unedited Israeli pro-genocide propaganda now. www.jpost.com/israel-news/...

tbh, a DC think tank dude getting cash from oligarchs and then blaming a movie - not the fossil fuel industry - for creating the political crisis around climate change is actually like something out of...Don't Look Up.

The former John Fetterman aide who runs a new billionaire-funded think tank is now blaming our movie Don't Look Up for not singularly solving the climate crisis. I'm sorry, everyone. My bad.

FBI: "There was anti-ICE writing on the bullet." *flash over to the scene of the crime* *bullet has "anti-ICE" written on it* This is not real. This is a Family Guy bit.

Texas Gov. Abbott Signs Trans Bathroom Bill Into Law With $125,000 Fines The legislation covers government-owned buildings, public schools, prisons, and domestic violence shelters.

Florida sheriff's department used ICE to round up sex workers under pretense of fighting human trafficking and child exploitation. Instead, they arrested 111 sex workers, none of whom was underage and none of which led to a human trafficking arrest.

Wow — Italy and Spain have now both officially announced they're sending military ships to support the Gaza aid flotilla

That is the type of comment that a Loss Prevention person recognizes as a red flag for embezzlement and/or taking bribes.

What a weird-ass Rapture. Only the Constitution disappeared.

ABC News alert revises the number of dead down in today’s shooting in Dallas: “DHS previously said two detainees were killed and one was injured; the agency later issued a correction saying one died and two were shot but survived.”

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Ah yes CLEARLY an attack on ICE agents where only the detainees were shot

🚨🚨🚨 All three people shot were detainees at the facility, and no ICE agents were shot or hurt. 2 dead after shooting at ICE facility, ICE spokesperson said www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

🤦‍♀️

As @timmiller.bsky.social says: “irresponsible & sick”

Israel: We are not starving Palestinians, Hamas are Flotilla: Ok, we will sail to Palestine and directly feed Palestinians Israel: That makes you Hamas Flotilla: But you just said Hamas are starving Palestinians? Israel: 💥 💥 💥

Another empty suit democrat doing nothing but serving his corporate masters

We are at a NOUN in our NOUN where we must VERB the NOUN to VERB our NOUN and VERB our ADJECTIVE NOUN. We cannot VERB the NOUN of NOUN and NOUN

Even when we tell them what we want these dudes: liar!

Dysfunctional, lonely, depressed, raging white men need someone to shoot. ICE detainees are an easy target. Waiting patiently in a line to enter the Gestapo building

BREAKING A federal judge found it "appears ... that multiple employees of the Department of Justice may have violated" local rules in SDNY guaranteeing Luigi Mangione's right to a fair trial. Full order here storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Facts!

At least 13 explosions were reported on and around several boats of the Global Sumud Flotilla last night, as the mission continues across the Mediterranean to break the Israeli blockade on Gaza. #GlobalSumudFlotilla #GlobalMovementToGaza #SailToGaza

Hiring has now slowed to its lowest pace in a decade, excluding the dip at the beginning of the pandemic.

So they stole it

A statue of Trump and Epstein was removed from the National Mall by U.S. Park Police, despite a permit allowing it to remain until Sept. 28

Cernovich is a rapist and the only reason he isn’t a convicted rapist is the judge let him plead down.

While double-checking that (factcheck true), I learned that Cernovich proudly tried to silence Epstein victim Virginia Giufre.

Activists on board the Global Sumud Flotilla said they heard explosions and saw drone attacks late on Tuesday.

Update from the flotilla

Footage has captured the moment of two boats from the Global Sumud Flotilla being attacked with stun grenades, resulting in explosions. Organisers of the flotilla have reported at least nine attacks on their vessels (Middle East Eye)

9. If these anti-LGBTQ+ provisions make it through, they would lock some of the harshest restrictions on trans people into federal law and hand Trump a stronger platform to target trans rights nationwide. Only if Dems stand firm for their trans and queer constituents will this outcome be stopped.

8. Last year, Dems passed an anti-trans provision in the NDAA with full control of the Senate, refusing Tammy Baldwin's vote to strip the anti-trans provisions. www.erininthemorning.com/p/37-democra...

7. The NDAA is one of the biggest fights this month - it includes a total ban on tricare coverage for gender affirming care at any age, and saw several Democrats cross party lines to pass it. www.erininthemorning.com/p/anti-trans...

5. The Commerce, Justice, and Science bill carries its own slate of riders: a ban on funding transgender surgeries in any federally owned, leased, or used facility, and a prison placement ban that would force transgender women into men’s jails. docs.house.gov/meetings/AP/...

1. Trump has dug in on anti-trans provisions in the shutdown fight this morning, cancelling a meeting with Dems unless they cave on trans people. His post to Truth Social is a clear indication that Republicans are making targeting trans people a priority. Subscribe to support our journalism.
