Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Phil Knight is almost single handedly funding the OR GOP, one of the more extreme state GOPs in the country. Keep that in mind next time you’re in the market for sportswear or sneakers. www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

Beautiful country …

That they have lived with this trauma & pain for so long is truly heartbreaking. How anyone can support protecting the perpetrators any longer is hard to believe & a complete disgrace! #Justice4TheEPSTEIN_SurvivorsNOW ✊

Nice job, MAGA!

Don’t fall for it! Ever since his relationship with “Livvy” fell through he’s been trying this approach…

Is she watching the MBS road show at the WH this morning? Chew on that for a while.

Every single news story about Trump hosting MBS at the WH today should include the tremendously lucrative business deals the Saudis have done this year with Trump Org to enrich Trump and his family personally, which is the primary reason why this is happening.

🤮 what gave we become? This is just appalling.

This is a complete and utter disgrace.

How is this possible??? How was he elected??? What has our country become and how have we fallen so far so quickly???

“The fuck kind of country we living in”, indeed?

This is such an important read. www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...

Great post.

NEW: Gregory Bovino is exactly who E.B. White — author of 'Charlotte's Web' — warned us about. DHS named its North Carolina anti-immigrant effort "Operation Charlotte's Web." In 1940, White wrote of the "smell" that "rises" from those who "adjust to fascism" over freedom. Tonight, at Law Dork:

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Horrendous. Release the entirety of the files. Name names. Demand Justice. Stop the denial and protection rackets.

share.google/ppQ9EqUodvZI... This “plan” is so chocked full of potential unintended consequences … The potential for a collapse of major transportation networks seems like a real possibility. But maybe it’ll all work out just fine.🤷🏼

The most dangerous form of racism is the one that believes it has already ended.

I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.” It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”

Our president is crazy.

Fred Willard talking about a dog show in Best of Show (2000) is Donald Trump or any of his surrogates talking about any subject of public importance in 2025. (Autism and Tylenol, war ravaged Portland, tariffs, Trump’s Nobel Prize, etc etc) youtu.be/-GaJPgI3jh4

The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts is hosting the largest solo exhibition to date by Cree artist Kent Monkman. It brings together more than 40 paintings that challenge colonial perspectives.

This current American presidential administration is run by people who are quite obviously mentally ill, and we need to start talking about that.

Your regular reminder that Republicans in Congress could stop this at literally any moment they choose.

If we're calibrating current events according to the Niemöller poem scale, how late in the poem does "and then they came for the former head of the national police force who was a member of the ruler's party who helped him get elected" come?

The man who was rage tweeting at 3:30am about how unfairly he is being treated was born a millionaire, spent his life receiving handouts & free passes and will sleep tonight in Windsor Castle after being feted by the King of England. Life’s a bitch.

I know I’m naive but it is pretty wild that the president of the United States just publicly declares he and the military killed some guys on a boat, multiple times, and the entirety of Congress doesn’t immediately hit a giant red IMPEACH button

Pro Tip: when your FBI Director is a little cosplay bitch who says things like ‘see you in Valhalla’ your country is in trouble. This ain’t a f*cking episode of ‘Son’s of Anarchy’.

Perfect.

Totally insane and wildly dangerous. Children will die, and Florida will export communicable diseases to the rest of the country and the world.

The guy that ordered 8 fighter jets to perform a low altitude fly-over in an effort to drown out Epstein survivors is the same guy who wants you to believe he's innocent.

A thread of obvious truths that weirdos on Bluesky seem to have a hard time understanding.

“Conservative” does not begin to describe the radicalism embodied in the Roberts court. A fundamental remaking of American constitutional jurisprudence is being advanced by this court. Must read article.

Maybe I’m weird, but I feel like the federal government shouldn’t be run like a racist protection racket. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/08/u...

I grew up in central Pennsylvania coal country in the 1970s and 80s and I remember how my small town had more than one oxygen supply store because so many of my schoolmates’ grandpas were slowly dying in their living rooms from black lung.
