Apparently some, but not all, good people were raptured. Because so many didn't make the first cut, there will be another opportunity in a few years. Please pay more attention to welcoming ALL the strangers, caring for ALL the poor and ill, and feeding ALL the hungry. All means all. #heaven #rapture

The Dominican Republic says they have recovered hundreds of pounds of cocaine from one of the boats we recently blew up in international waters. Has anyone seen Don Jr. since then?

Oh my god. This musical number by a famous #Disney character is savage. Thank you @colbertlateshow.bsky.social. #Disney #ABC #DonaldTrump and #BrendanCarr won't be happy if you widely circulate this. So shut your trap. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMGD...

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

The thing about informed consent and vaccines is that informed people consent.

Kimmel didn't say anything negative about Kirk's life and he was clearly appalled by Kirk being shot. Kimmel did mildly criticize Trump's lack of empathy and humanity BY SHOWING TRUMP'S OWN WORDS, and got his audience to laugh at Trump in the process.

This regime and its enablers desperately want to silence everyone who dares to say, write, or think anything they don't like. They know how weak they are. They can only hold power if we give up ours.

My son was 1 when leaders gathered in Paris & pledged to keep warming BELOW 1.5C. He’s now 11, & we’re spending our second year ABOVE 1.5C. They’ve doomed all our children because preserving a suicidal economy is more important. We. Should. Be. Furious.

I oppose lynchings. Lynchings are wrong. What decade am I living in?

This is a whole lot of rehearsal for what they will so loudly demand when it finally happens.

🚨 US citizens: There's a bill that's going to be marked up by the House Foreign Affairs Committee giving the Secretary of State the right to refuse to issue or renew a passport to a US citizen implicated in terrorism offenses. Not worried? Here's why you should be. (1)

#Novavax arranged to have #Sanofi distribute its COVID vaccine (now called Nuvavoxid), but Sanofi is letting the vaccine doses sit in a warehouse instead of shipping them out. Sanofi told one reporter they will start shipping next week, but has said nothing publicly. We want info and action, Sanofi.

This is a Melissa Hortman appreciation account for the next 24 hours.

Abolish the 2nd Amendment. I do not want anyone shot, not even the people who tirelessly advocate for people to be shot. uk.news.yahoo.com/fact-check-c...

A brilliant bit of microfiction (read the dozen or so posts in the thread)

The Supreme Court is rubber-stamping white supremacy, Christian supremacy, unlimited autocratic power, and the complete upending of our Constitution. We must reject these decisions and remove this Supreme Court. Anything less is appeasement and will not work.

Attn all ICE agents! Here’s an announcement from our front window: Chicago hates you, and you are not welcome here!

My Electroalchemical Romance

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

It's great that states are forming regional public health alliances to ensure people still have access to vaccines. They should take it one step further & include distributing free masks & tests, installing clean air infrastructure etc. The best way to prevent outbreaks is with layered protections!

If we can simply tell our military to blow up anyone anywhere without any justification, there are no rules and we are a rogue and monstrous nation. If a small boat in international waters is an immediate threat to the US, how much more so are people in the US? Will ICE switch to hand grenades?

I did MY OWN RESEARCH on vaccines and here's what I found: doctors and scientists go to a whole lot of school and learn a whole lot of stuff about all this & the experts on vaccines know a LOT more than me & they've written up their key conclusions & what a blessing that I can listen to them.

I never thought the Republicans would get on board with the Occupy LA and Occupy DC movements. Will they start snapping fingers instead of clapping at the next bill signing?

Proof of life would include two things in the photo: today's newspaper and the Epstein files.

Between flesh-eating-bacteria-infested oysters and an increasing number of radioactive shrimp, I am feeling really good about my shellfish allergy today.

I'm just going to stay awake and wish real hard for nothing in particular.

How do you think you'll find out that it happened? Vague social media posts? Text from a friend? Cars honking everywhere? Actually hearing a heavenly choir? Or a news anchor breaking into your Netflix binge and pretending to be sad? Do you have a playlist ready? A bottle of something in reserve?

We qualify for the new FDA-approved COVID vaccine, but we cannot get it at the pharmacy in my state because RFK, Jr. fired the entire advisory panel at the CDC and replaced it with lunatics. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/w...

imagine being so maniacally racist that you side with the fire over the firefighter

A lot of whales, really respected whales, have come up to me with tears in their eyes and said "Sir, Sir, you're doing an amazing job, the oceans have never been this great, but you have to stop the windmills, they're the worst for us, just killing our views. Please, sir." And so I want to help them

You can indict a ham sandwich (legal truism), but not its thrower (today's good news). Need to revisit my proximate cause notes to see if we covered that.

The messaging from this administration has the same vibe as a cross set ablaze in someone’s front yard. It’s about communicating menace and instilling terror, the opposite of what the government of a free and democratic society should be doing.

The Trump admin. is demanding that if they want to receive security funding, Jewish institutions cooperate with ICE and ban DEI initiatives. Jewish safety is clearly not a priority for Trump’s White House. Tell Congress: We must keep Jewish spaces safe, but we won’t be coerced into complicity.

This is the drug that is a 100% effective treatment for HIV. this is the one you've been seeing in the news. I would LOVE to see an in-depth discussion of exactly what "clinical, financial, and regulatory factors" are keeping them from essentially carrying a cure to a deadly disease.

Alligator Alcatraz is cruel and destructive to immigrants, their families, our communities, and our national soul. It is also destructive to the land and water, plants, animals, fish, and birds near it. The courts recognize that second group as worth saving, but not the first group.

Something very very weird happened during the Hugos award ceremony... It's been on my mind for days, and so I wrote this blog: "When People Giggle at Your Name, or the 2025 Hugo Awards Incident" grigorylukin.com/2025/08/21/w... #Worldcon

Democrats: Don't tread on anyone. Republicans: Tread on everyone else. Or stomp. We aren't picky. Lower courts: Hold off on some of the worst stomping. Here is why. Supreme Court: Resume stomping immediately! Stomp faster! Why? That's a secret. News: Check out these new fall jackboot colors.

The tell was always there in Don't Tread On Me. It was never Don't Tread On Any Of Us. Republicans see freedom as something that only they deserve, while they want the rest of us to get jackboots on our necks. That's not ok. That's not freedom. We cannot keep repeating the worst of our history.

Psalm 109:8. biblehub.com/psalms/109-8...

As long as I take my license plate in with me to vote, they can't ticket me while I'm voting. If i have two license plates, can I vote twice?

YES PLEASE

He threw out homeless people's tents with his bare hands. I'm not exaggerating, he did it on camera, on purpose

I knew he ordered the destruction, I did not know he personally participated in it. Even the worst villains usually delegate dirty work to their subordinates. This is despicable.

The thing about indicting a ham sandwich is that you're not supposed to literally try to indict a ham sandwich (or its thrower).

As a DC resident I'm firmly in favor of a jury strike during this occupation. If you're on grand jury duty, refuse to indict. If you're on trial jury, refuse to convict.

Plenty of people vote Republican knowing that it will make their own lives worse, because their top priority is watching Republicans be more awful to the people they hate. They don't want to improve everyone's lives. They want to cling to a higher position on the ladder by kicking downwards.
