A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot. "They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets." "They had the professional demeanor of criminals." ht: @paulgraham.bsky.social

Don't worry about Trump cancelling elections. Authoritarians love elections. They get 90% of the vote. They decide who votes and how and how the votes are counted and if the count will be certified..

Psyching myself up to go to a protest today and it’s not fun. It’s not trivial. I have to worry about my safety and my wife’s safety in a state with more guns than people and an active ICE presence where they shot two people this week. This shit sucks.

🇺🇸 MINNEAPOLIS VETERAN: "They are terrorizing the population, in Afghanistan we never wore masks.” (From @statuscoupnews.bsky.social )

Lotta people get mad at me when I criticize Democratic messaging but THIS IS HOW DEMOCRATS SHOULD BE TALKING. Like normal people using normal language to communicate normal human emotions about the fucked up situation. THIS.

America's richest 10% now hold 60% of the nation's wealth. The bottom half of America? It holds just 6%. Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Terrific

Dammit. The Sarah McLachlan music got me right in the feels 😭

I don’t have unlimited toilet paper in my own house. Must be nice.

Free and fair elections are good for business. Having a stable rule of law is important to the economy. Not having people afraid to go to work because they might be beaten up or disappeared is essential to a productive workforce. Democracy is essential for a strong economy.

“I’m sure you’re aware of our connections with the Trump Administration,” the North Carolina Republican Party's communications director wrote in an email response to us. “I would strongly suggest dropping this story.” We didn't. Read the story that he wanted dropped:

Pro Tip: Canada is not your enemy but the greasy, drug addicted money-laundering bald mfker who made his own daughter give him lap dances and just spent the week tearing down something that didn’t belong to him is, also he knows nothing about economics. Tariffs will wreck USA.

Y’all are acting like you’ve never seen a 79 year-old drug addict post AI vids wearing a crown flying a fighter jet dropping sh*t on US citizens at a rally the same week he bitched out the world for not getting Nobel Peace prize & blew up boats so he could joke about it before.

🚨The truth about the Republican Health Care Crisis

Sorry we had to cancel your cancer treatment, but the Secretary of Defense had to fly all the generals in so he could call them fat.

Americans: My family needs healthcare GOP: No Americans: It is VERY important GOP: NO healthcare but here’s coal Americans: I don’t need coal GOP: It’s all we have. Wait, here’s measles. Americans: But my kid is sick GOP: The gold in the White House is 24 karat. #RemoveTrump

Democratic cities are the economic engine of the US. Trumps partisan attacks and attempt to use the military to disrupt them will destroy the economy even further than his tariff taxes.

If you listened closely to Hegseth and Trump, they were saying that the US military should be more like the Russian military--unaccountable for its actions, using lethality in favor of intelligence, and where training can be used to abuse recruits.

We are fast becoming a banana republic, with two standards of justice. If you oppose the leader, you go to jail just for speech. If you're a loyalist, you get immunity for your crimes. That's what happens in Iran - not the United States. This is a decision moment for America.

Imagine this — a 90-year-old man named Arnold Abbott in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, was arrested twice just for feeding the homeless. All he wanted was to give people dignity, but the city made it a crime. That shows you how broken the system really is.

Moskowitz: Do you think the Epstein list should come out? Farage: I have no opinion on it. Raskin: It’s been reported that he’s called for it to be released Moskowitz: I have it here. Do you agree with yourself?

The USA has screwed up so badly by decimating the US relationship with India because of Trump’s childish, destructive ego, that the state department is now in the process of grovelling. In the end the US will probably cave, as it has with China.

AP: “When Trump awarded a contract for $1.2 billion for 🇺🇸’s largest immigration detention complex, it handed it to Acquisition Logistics LLC, a small biz with no experience… its address a modest home in suburban Virginia.”🤔 Golden Age of Corruption. apnews.com/article/trum...

For all the dog lovers. This is a classic. Worth seeing again.

A man, near the White House, who describes himself as a "retired disabled combat veteran," after burning an American flag tells bystanders "I am being detained because I expressed my First Amendment rights."

One of Trump's many dipshits left behind sensitive documents about the Anchorage summit on a hotel copy machine -- including: names and numbers of U.S. and Russian state leaders, schedule and room locations. Yet another major national security breach. www.npr.org/2025/08/16/n...

@jamestalarico.bsky.social: "They've talked about these fines, they've talked about trying to expel us from office... We're not too concerned about the personal or political costs. This is a lot bigger than us. This is about whether or not we will have free and fair elections in 2026."

COLBERT: You warned everyone…he would prosecute political enemies, cut Medicaid, alienate our allies, give tax cuts to the rich. I know you're not here to say 'I told you so' but would you like to? HARRIS: You're correct. I did predict a lot of that. But what I did not predict was the capitulation.

"They have solid access, they get big party invites, they're primed for book deals and speaking gigs, network slots and promotions, etc. And they don't wanna mess that up. They don't want this whole fascism thing to derail their timeline or deplete their capital."

Apparently, inflation is bad, but we must impose tariffs to raise the cost of cheap imports so people buy expensive American goods. We can re-shore manufacturing, but to be cost competitive, we have to fully automate factories, replacing American workers with robots.

So upsetting just to read this. Don't look away. www.advocate.com/news/andry-h...

Ossoff: Did anyone really think the sexual predator president who used to party with Jeffrey Epstein was going to release the Epstein files?
