The stage of deterioration where gangs of large (mostly) white men just publicly assault people who seem to be brown because they're brown in the hopes of doing far more harm to them in the name of the state. Glad this one escaped.

The end of FY 2025 is coming, and #OMB appears perfectly content to use us as targets. We are not their chess pieces. We serve our PIs. We are here in our personal capacities. Follow the #NIH.

Adelita Grijalva, won the special election filling her late father’s seat and becoming the first Latina to represent Arizona in Congress. In the 2024 general election for that same district, Raúl Grijalva (Democrat) won ~63.4% of the vote vs. ~36.6% for the Republican.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Universal childcare wouldn't just relieve working families of a massive cost burden. It improves the whole economy. "There are a lot of reasons building a child care system that works for everyone is important to our children, to parents, to employers and to economic growth."

This should be getting a lot more attention. And no journalist should sign it. "The idea that a member of the Pentagon press corps or a reporter writ large can only write what the government tells them to, that's not how it works in the United States of America." www.rawstory.com/pentagon-267...

Let's be clear: no one should be taking medical advice from the man who told Americans to inject bleach. To moms worried about the Tylenol they took while pregnant: you deserve better than being RFK Jr's scapegoat. And to the autism community: you are loved exactly as you are.

Embarrassing. Sad. WTF

A senior diplomat reacted with shock as President Donald Trump was delivering his speech to the United Nations.

BREAKING: Secret Service dismantles massive threat ahead of United Nations General Assembly, World Health agencies tell people not to listen to Trump, Sinclair Broadcasting refuses to air Kimmel's show, and more. I've got all the latest: open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

The President of the United States of America just called climate change a “con job” while rambling incoherently at the United Nations General Assembly in NYC

“We are the hottest country in the world” is a thing Trump just said. To the United Nations.

Donald Trump addresses the United Nations General Assembly today. Those in attendance will be thinking, “What the fuck?”

The United Nations emerged from World War II’s rubble on the premise that nations would work together to tackle political, social and financial issues. https://to.pbs.org/46PaB9x

I'm so embarrassed to be an American right now. Donald Trump is a senile old codger, standing before the United Nations, reading a speech clearly written by an alt right lunatic and a bunch of oil and gas lobbyists. Well done, U.S. voters. You really fucked this one up.

Trump embarrasses the United States as he tells world leaders at the United Nations “Trump was right about everything.” This was the most ignorant, racist, divisive, unhinged, and self-promoting speech I’ve ever heard from an American president at the United Nations.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — UN chief warns world leaders that humanity has entered 'an age of reckless disruption and relentless human suffering.'

No evidence. No science. No solutions.   Just Trump peddling another dangerous lie — this time about Tylenol and autism — that sows chaos, scares parents, and puts our health at risk.

New in PN: Trump posts his Watergate tapes "People! The man literally used his social media platform to tweet out a demand that his attorney general prosecute his opponents, ones he’s already characterized as 'guilty as hell.' This isn’t 'venting.' It’s criminal."

What do you think might be going on at the WH??

Kash Patel wants you to believe the Bureau of Prisons’ decision to move Epstein’s co-conspirator to a minimum security prison after her interview was… a coincidence. His false testimony is an insult to the intelligence of the America people.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

The Oversight Committee is launching an investigation into ABC, Sinclair, and the FCC. We will not be intimidated and we will defend the First Amendment.

EXCLUSIVE: Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.

@raskin.house.gov @sanders.senate.gov @robertgarcia.bsky.social

Do not worry Herr Homan, I will arrange for a UBoat to pick you up and whisk you to Greenland as soon as we annex it. -S Miller

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

In case anyone doesn’t remember how we got here 89,278,948 eligible voters DID NOT VOTE! Less than the number of people Trump claims died from drug overdoses, more than the number of people who voted for him SHOW UP FOR EVERY ELECTION FROM NOW UNTIL NOVEMBER 2028 NO MORE IFS, BUTS OR COCONUTS!

People need to start, now, to emotionally prepare themselves for mass graves, almost certainly in Florida already and probably already in Texas. english.elpais.com/usa/2025-09-...

We as the #BLUECREW Need to come together to support 🙏each other and to find our way back to our democracy that we love and cherish,& our ancestors have died for in the past 💙

Over 500 federal workers, from agencies like DHS and ICE, signed a protest letter urging Congress to confront Trump—even if it risks a government shutdown—demanding reversals of cuts and protections against political retaliation. www.axios.com/2025/09/18/t...

Despite fear of retaliation, hundreds of federal workers urge Congress to protect medicine and science www.statnews.com/2025/09/18/f... via @statnews.com

Hundreds of federal workers are urging Congress to rein in the White House even if it means shutting down the government, in a letter sent this afternoon.

Federal Workers across the federal govt have organized this summer to send letters of dissent to their agency leadership. In retaliation, some have been placed on administrative leave, some have been fired & others have filed for whistleblower protections. #ShutTrumpDown
