one thing that receives almost no attention is that the only reason he ran for president again is because he had to to avoid prosecution for a litany of crimes, the whole plan was: 1). Take shelter in SCOTUS-granted immunity. 2). Loot.

They used AI to design Trump’s new wing & it had staircases leading up to walls. AI’s gon turn these houses into M.C. Escher nightmares.

Darkly funny that they’re trying to throw Bradley under the bus and *also* going on the record saying that they agree with and celebrate the war crime.

"No ceiling" results in what we have: a couple dozen psychopaths control several trillion dollars and the power has made them go stark raving mad. They are obsessed with using their concentrated wealth to punish the population and remake the country into a failed state and international pariah.

Among the reasons I see AI as a bubble is the GOP's ideological hostility to rational electricity policy. As a matter of physics, economics, and politics, you can't sustain a data center boom while going backwards on solar & wind. The Earth-killing energy sources they love are just too expensive.

In 2025, the Trump administration and GOP officials in key states have viciously targeted the voting rights of naturalized citizens with new access barriers, selective surveillance and intimidatory rhetoric — signaling that the full promises of citizenship, for many, remain unattainable.

“In days after Alaska, a European intel agency distributed a hard-copy report in an envelope to some of the continent’s most senior national security officials, who were shocked by the contents: Inside were details of the commercial and economic plans the Trump admin had been pursuing with Russia.”

This guy deserves all the pain. I hope his pardon request is denied with extreme prejudice

Only just getting started. A friend from out of town said yesterday that bringing ICE into the nation’s largest, most multiracial/multiethnic city is the dumbest idea the regime has ever had.

Goddamnit Josh Brolin

Seems bad

The Trump administration has reacted to a small scale lone wolf attack by in DC announcing a sweeping collective punishment, using the organs of government to heap blame on partisan rivals, and potentially dissuading anyone from collaborating with US forces abroad for a generation.

This so much!

Just sent out my free weekend update. Though the reporting this week made it crystal clear that the Trump administration is with Putin, that was not a bad thing for Ukraine. Accepting the truth is the first step to recovery-and the truth cannot now be denied. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

You can tell this is disingenuous by Prasad because he’s using 10 supposed covid vaccine deaths (I don’t trust him) to dunk on multiple vaccines. It’s ideology to please his boss and keep his job.

this is just gutter racism

Holy shit! Trump has no decency or compassion. A reporter asked if he planned to attend the funeral of Sarah Beckstrom, the National Guard member who just died. Instead of offering condolences, he said he would “consider it” and pivoted to bragging about his margin of victory in West Virginia.

SCOOP: For the Trump admin's Sept. 2 strike targeting 11 men on a boat suspected of ferrying drugs, SecDef Hegseth gave an order, officials say, to kill them all. When two men were still alive, orders were given to strike again, finishing them off. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Sarah Beckstrom's ex-boyfriend told NBC News she dreamed of becoming an FBI special agent. She didn't want to deploy to D.C. "She hated it. She cried about it." But she started visiting monuments and museums and started enjoying it. May she rest in peace. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

🧵 Lowe's CEO, one of 8 Black Fortune 500 CEOs, stands firm on DEI. "Championing Diversity Through Action: Ellison’s approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is rooted in practical change rather than public statements" Home Depot, meanwhile, allows ICE agents to raid its parking lots.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing. And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

The House and Senate are both investigating Pete’s war crimes

If y’all really are going to investigate Hegseth and trumps’s Venezuelan murders PLEASE GO FASTER! Trump has declared Venezuelan airspace closed which means they are getting ready to murder a lot more people. We are not at war with Venezuela! www.mississippifreepress.org/wicker-direc...

Would love to ask the folks who lined up before dawn at Target for a swag bag “filled” with goodies and walked out with a reusable grocery bag and a pack of Uno cards, “how does it feel to get played?” I honestly do not know why anyone is still loyal to that store. This is hilarious though 😂

I hope it will be a “vigorous” investigation. share.google/n6p8fbW0W7uJ...
