www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025.... Hey--some good news!

@bsky.app So the Drumpf #DOJ is investigating #Venezuela. They believe "...electronic voting in the US was secretly controlled by the impoverished regime, both by President Nicolás Maduro and his deceased predecessor Hugo Chavez." WTH? 🤡 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

"Some people didn't like him... and things happen." The #OrangePOS on the murder of journalist #JamalKhashoggi.

Make these in blaze orange and I'm in. #Minnesota #DeerSeason.

So @minnesotawill.bsky.social's new book Black Dirt, Bright Stars is very, very, very good. Readers who liked Power & Light will love being reunited with the Haugen family.

I honestly don’t know what to say anymore. It is overwhelmingly clear at this point that the Republican Party has sold its soul to protect a child rapist, led by wealthy ghouls who will never have enough. There is only one war, now and forever, and it is the class war. There must be consequences.

Now here's good sports color. If I do say so myself.

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre.... THIS! Robert Reich lays out the ominous development of the ultra-rich buying up news and social media outlets. It's a MUST READ (thank you).

May I harp again on geezer #Demcrats? Here's #MichelleGoldberg in today's #NYTimes "There are more than 50 House Democrats who are 70 or older (including Pelosi, who is 85), compared to just over 30 Republicans. Since the beginning of the year, three Democratic members have died in office...."

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre.... TRUE! Let's get behind generational change for #Democratics. @davidhogg.bsky.social and #LeadersWeDeserve

Minnesotans, especially up north, be hyper-aware of #datacenter development. They start in secret by compromising local boards. They proceed in silence. They press for quick votes without citizen input. #Datacenters are coming because we have the space and the #water.

"Capitalism is shoving AI down our throats because it can’t give us what we actually want. People are dumber, sicker, lonelier and more miserable. Profit-driven systems we live under have no answers, besides throwing [fancy new] tech at us so we can distract ourselves." #CaitlinJohnstone #bigpicture

@bsky.app www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025.... WTH are we doing? When are we going to be free of this cancer on America?

#PeriodicSentence alert. "And then, just a year and a half after Russia invaded Ukraine, Hamas attacked Israel, and Israel responded with force that quickly began to look extreme, then excessive, then indiscriminate, then like a possible war crime and finally like the ultimate crime: genocide." #NYT

Trump speaking in #Israel: "This is not only the end of a war. This is the end of the age of terror and death and the beginning of the age of faith and hope and of God..." 1/

My new #novel has dropped. Yahoo! It's the sequel to the award-winning POWER & LIGHT (2023). Check with your local bookstore first, then online. Thank you for attention to this matter! 😆

www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int.... Let's add #domicide to #genocide.

@bsky.app @bsky.app "The world’s eyes are open to Israel, and they are never going to close again. You can’t take off the Mickey Mouse mask, show kids the snarling Freddy Krueger face underneath, then put the mask on and hope they start calling you Mickey again."

@bsky.app From today's #NYTimes: "Israel has been the largest recipient of U.S. foreign aid since its founding in 1948, receiving hundreds of billions of dollars in support. But nearly seven in 10 voters under 30 said they opposed additional economic or military aid to #Israel." #FreeUsNow

Not paranoid, just practical. #UpNorth #Minnesota

@repangiecraig.bsky.social Hey why did you vote against recognizing #Palestine as a state? Don't they have a right to exist?

This. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025.... So in order to start school you have to agree not to criticize Israel. WTH!

What have we here???? In the article we find that "... Treasury Secretary Bessent owns thousands of acres of North Dakota farmland, worth up to $25 million... with rental income of over $1M."

"Trump is a lazy and capricious emperor, sitting on the heap of a nation roiled by violence and crisis." Strong sentence by #NesrineMalik in #TheGuardian

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025.... Keep your eye on CBS News, which soon will be increasingly conservative and pro-Israel. #WalterCronkiteWeeps

@bsky.app #GlenGreenwald "Countries at the UN just voted by 142-10 (12 abstentions) to end the war in Gaza and recognize Palestine as a state. The US voted NO. The US's only allies were Micronesia, Nauru, Palau, Tonga, Argentina, Hungary, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, Tonga and Israel." #Shame

@bsky.app Time to, ahem, take back our country?

www.theguardian.com/film/2025/se.... You have better things to do than read a long article on #SpinalTap. But it's quite clever. Afterward I had no idea of what I'd read.

@bsky.app #HeatherCoxRichardson. "Trump and his ilk have spent years carping about how poorly the government is working and how much better it would be if they were in charge. Voters gave them what they asked for. Now they appear to be unwilling or unable to do the actual work of governing."

Here's a free, must-read article from The New York Times. No paywall. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/30/o...

From #TheGuardian: "The US provides a complete package of support to Israel’s war in Gaza. Weapons via sales and arms transfers. Intelligence to help Israel aim the weapons. And political support to shield Israel from growing global backlash against its conduct in Gaza." #Shame on us.

It goes without saying, but this is against everything this country was founded on

Some sunny day #balloonhead will be gone.

They want us fighting so we never notice who is stealing from us all. Don’t get lost in the circus.
