“The High Holidays remind us that certainty can be dangerous…Democracy depends not on the absence of disagreement but on our capacity to engage with it.” I am certain that here lies our downfall. Too many Americans do not understand the underpinnings of Democracy. 🎁 wapo.st/4mqh7bq

The early warning signs of Fascism, by Lawrence W Britt

This pathetic factotum is bathing himself in the fetid attention he gets from the media, especially from water-carrying “podcasters.” His flaccid posturing would be sad if it were not quite so obviously venal www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

@timothysnyder.bsky.social: “The overall design of Trump's policy is clear enough: weaken the United States abroad to create an environment friendly to dictators, while using the American armed forces as an intimidation force to make dictatorship possible at home.” open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

Hey Bob, why did you cave to the fuhrer…again?

HB119 affirms that library materials should not be removed based solely on the creator’s background or because of political, religious, or ideological objections. The legislation also protects public & school library workers from retaliation for doing their jobs in accordance with state policy.

It is OK to call fascists fascists.

It's not just the authoritarianism — it's how shameless, how *gleeful* this administration is about it

From Milton Mayer's "They Thought They Were Free" I first read it in November and I'm rereading it now. It crushing feeling the exact same things as this academic did. It's the same process.

But advocate for murdering the homeless and you get to keep your job.

Civics 101.

I think it’s high time we take back the national narrative. For centuries Americans of all races, genders, religions, and abilities have worked to create a more perfect union, and we should shout from the rooftops that WE are America. Not these idiot white supremacist authoritarians.

Here's the monologue that got Jimmy Kimmel canceled. Judge for yourself. youtu.be/-j3YdxNSzTk?...

Exactly.

Cowards. Shameless, morally bankrupt cowards.

Most Jewish Americans disapprove of the Trump administration withholding funds from colleges to address anti-Jewish sentiment, according to a new survey.

This.

The Department of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States. 🔗 www.404media.co/doj-deletes-...

This is what patriotism looks like.

Again, if you want to get a COVID19 vaccine this year, please consider getting it before RFK Jr’s fraudulent Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) meets on September 18-19. There is every reason to believe they will further restrict access. Absolutely shameful.

I get being upset when a friend is killed, but in trying to walk back her initial heinous and hysterical inaccuracies, she doubles down on being wrong about new information to justify her willful ignorance and glaring ineptitude at getting it right. www.thedailybeast.com//megyn-kelly...

Kirk did not deserve to die. But let’s not whitewash him. He was not a Conservative. He was a far-right Christian Nationalist. He was a rabid anti-Semite and a race-baiting bigot.

Sometimes, all you need is a picture.

This was the late Charlie Kirk. 🎁 www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/u...

No words. I mean, what can be said about complicity borne of fear and cowardice? Remember that Trump is here because of this Senator and the others who are equally bereft of courage, character and patriotism.

Anyone missing the experienced FBI agents that were dismissed for investigating the Jan 6 insurrection conspiracy?

I am deeply disturbed by the shooting in Utah. Doug and I send our prayers to Charlie Kirk and his family. Let me be clear: Political violence has no place in America. I condemn this act, and we all must work together to ensure this does not lead to more violence.

WaPo's editorial board is "troubled."

Gonna have to add "Association with Jeffrey Epstein" sections to a few more Wikipedia pages

One day after the Supreme Court lifted the ban on racial profiling, federal agents swarmed a car in Van Nuys. Four masked agents with guns drawn yanked people out, slammed them to the ground, and pointed a weapon at a pregnant woman. There is no justification for this. None.

Justice Sotomayor says that, “people … are the agents of law … they’re the ones that decide the world they live in.”

"We didn’t cross the border — the border crossed us.” The SCOTUS ruling allowing ICE to profile Californians is as much proof as we need of the Republican White Supremacist agenda. It's as true in Florida as it is in other states that were once Spanish territories. #StenchOnTheBench

A clever, smart ad.

Of course they did. … Repeat after me: No one is going to save us. We have to save ourselves.

Important. Here’s a 🎁 link for those who need.

The trajectory from 2001, when Bush (unpopular in NYC) vowed to rebuild Lower Manhattan after the 9//11 attack, to Trump who vowed to retaliate against a city-Chicago- simply because he can’t win their votes, shows you how far America has fallen. 🎁 link share.inquirer.com/sysUFP
