Free speech hating Republicans. Donald Trump is a weak, weak man.

Nothing says “land of the free” like armed agents of the state saying “show me your papers if you want your daughter back” bsky.app/profile/nbcb...

As People Mag Points out, a treatment for autism Dr. Oz just announced Trump’s FDA is approving is sold by a supplement company owned by… Dr. Oz. people.com/what-is-leuc...

What the???

Seattle Children’s is laying off over 150 staff and slashing hundreds of open positions. Why? Because of Trump and the Republicans' health care cuts. Republicans chose tax breaks for billionaires over care for our kids. This is Trump’s America.

Trump and his cronies are using blatant government coercion to suppress speech they don’t like — a gross violation of the 1st Amendment. Shame on ABC for caving to political blackmail. We must stand with those who resist the bullies and call out those who appease them. NO KINGS.

Kristi Noem personally joined ICE in Chicago for a raid—but detain U.S. citizen by mistake. He was woken up by an explosion—that literally blew the doors off his house. Agents handcuffed him and featured him in a propaganda video—which they released even after arrest was proven to be a mistake.

American Gestapo

The Trump sells out your security, America.

Guy who hasn't conceived a successful product in 20+ years thinks you're really gonna regret it if you don't buy this pile of bullshit

“build factories in our country or else, and if you do build them here we will arrest, torture and humiliate your workers” incoherent cruelty for the sake of incoherent cruelty

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. The system is broken.

Do we expect any better from Kash Patel?

The Dept. of Education has pulled funding for programs in 8 states that support students with both hearing and vision loss. A staffer at one program says he was told the Trump admin. took issue with 2 words on the grant application: “transition" and “privilege": www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Huh an awful lot of rhetoric shifted from Old Testament to New Testament over the past few hours

Charlie Kirk’s shooter was a 22 year old white cis man & 4chan groyper. Charlie Kirk’s last words were “gang violence”. he was claiming Black people were inherently violent right before his life was ended by another white man. Here is a description of Kirk’s terrorism by one of his many victims:

Last night, the right was blaming Charlie Kirk’s murder on the left. This morning, they were blaming Israel. Now they’re trying to blame “trans antifa.” Their hatreds are so plentiful and convoluted they can’t even agree a scapegoat. The blame comes before the evidence—by design

Those reading this as approval of Kirk’s killing are reading words that aren’t there. I don’t want to live in a world of normalized violence. Charlie Kirk spent his life ensuring we all have to live in such a world. We do everything a disservice to elide the reality of that.

Well, I guess we'll see if he still thinks this after it's happened to him.

Kids and the elderly are going hungry and we can’t fund pediatric brain cancer research, but we can afford all this…

the real glory of world war two was that it involved a warrior cult being ground down and beaten to a pulp by people who would rather have been doing something else.

They want to be pundits with an opinion on everything but responsibility for nothing.

Awful jobs numbers. Only 22,000 jobs added in August per Trump’s new BLS. Unemployment rate highest since 2021. Wage growth lowest since 2021. The Trump Economy.

In 1900, nearly 1 in 5 children in America died before age five. Vaccines changed that. But Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s lies are fueling a public health catastrophe. People will get sick. People will die. Science saves lives—misinformation kills.

They want us all to be non-union factory workers.

Whether or not these people are actual foreign agents is almost irrelevant. Their actions are observationally equivalent to & indistinguishable from the actions actual foreign agents would be taking. The consequences of our total Article I constitutional crisis, right here:

Get used to “just doing the job I was told to do” being the new “just following orders”.

YES

The problem: Mortgages signed by the Paxtons contained inaccurate statements declaring that each of those three houses was their primary residence, enabling the now-estranged couple to improperly lock in low interest rates, according to an Associated Press review of public records.

incredible. 10/10 no notes. Emil Bove continued to work at DOJ - for the administration- after he was confirmed as a judge. Almost as if he doesn’t think his role, defending stuff Trump did, changed once he became a judge! (sure he wasn’t sworn in but AYFKM???) www.nytimes.com/2025/08/29/u...

ICE took 2 firefighters OFF THE FUCKING FIRE LINE!?

It's amusing to observe Curtis Yarvin in this setting. He seems quite in love with the sound of his own voice. And most of his utterances are the sort of banalities you'd expect of a recent autodidact—wowed by the most superficial connections, and lacking deeper contextual knowledge.

In 2015, Alex Jones spent a year spinning paranoid stories of US troops planning to enact martial law, assist a Chinese invasion, and execute dissenters in "death domes." In 2025, troops are in the streets, and Alex Jones couldn't be happier. themikerothschild.com/2025/08/27/j...

This guy is insane

State-owned businesses? So Trump is a communist now?

These fascist goons are mobilizing the whole power of the US government to persecute this one man and ruin his life, because he embarrassed them.

Remember how the Trump administration claimed that Kilmar Abrego Garcia had to be brought back to the United States to "face justice"? That it wasn't about the deportation case, they just HAD to prosecute him? They lied! The whole thing was a lie! And they don't care at all that you know that.

The Times saw the mayor's people handing out bribes in public last month and refused to write about it till after somebody else broke a related story www.nytimes.com/2025/08/21/n...

And people claiming that the US was going to be under martial law for decades, like Alex Jones, are cheering this on.

Eric Adams and his crew are working hard to stand out among a city with a history of corruption.

Sam Altman thinks we’ll build a Dyson sphere. @nome.bsky.social brought the math.

@wired.com keeps doing great work.

this is where Stubb was sitting when Trump couldn't see him btw

Police state

There is a reason why they use the ability to walk a straight line as a DUI test — because it’s a good measure of overall cognitive (dys)function. Neurologists also use it in their office to measure cognitive functioning and he would not pass the test based on this. Seriously.
