There is a lot of history in the USA that has been "swept under the rug," in the carefully crafted American story. One of the most powerful stories that you may not know about is the Battle of Blair Mountain in W. Virginia. 10,000 miners took up arms and went to war with the mining companies.

Dear K-A$$-H, Charlie wanted you to release the Epstein Files. You should. In honor of him.

Thank you, Your Honor, and way to go, Utah! The state’s Legislature will now be forced to quickly redraw its congressional districts after a judge ruled Monday that lawmakers had sidestepped voter-approved safeguards designed to prevent partisan gerrymandering.

Why are we letting a bunch of geriatrics ruin the world

Retailers warned that raising wages would "force" them to raise prices and to use automated checkout. Fed min wage remained flat, but they raised prices & used automated checkout anyway. Result: Workers got even poorer as customer service plummeted while prices & profits soared.

From a persuasion perspective, logic < emotion and making it personal every time. Much as I loathe the fact. There's also a difference between "some of my constituents are mad about this" and "this is impacting some of my constituents"

Just saw all your comments from last night’s post and someone shared a pic, Orlando showed up and used chalk to bring the rainbow crosswalk back! We love this so much!!! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

I'd be far more amused by the irony here if I didn't actually want farmers to do well. As it is, this is just...painful. www.rawstory.com/farmers-work...

Walmart prices: Why should the rich pay for the tariffs when they can pass it all off to the people that get screwed every time? #MAGAIsADisease

Beautiful. Of course there are components beyond the boycotts, but people power made a difference.

Good morning with good news: Global EV sales surge 27% in first seven months of 2025, compared to 2024! China: 6.5 million, +29% Europe: 2.3 million, +30% North America: 1.0 million, +2% Rest of World: 0.9 million, +42% World leaves USA behind. rhomotion.com/news/global-... #energysky

Amazing 🤣

This is extremely relevant to discussions of crime rates right now, highly recommend. manhattan.institute/article/red-...

...or at any rate what I would imagine it would feel like.

"'I am surprised by the extent of the removal of information about environmental justice,' says Gretchen Gehrke, co-founder of EDGI. 'That level of total erasure we didn't see with any topic under the first-term administration.'" www.npr.org/2025/08/08/n...

It's past time for DC statehood ("taxation without representation" much?), but in the meantime...

You can spend hours trying to thoroughly fact check a single point, and by the time you're done they've already spouted another dozen points of BS.

So are we just moving on from the fact that just Friday someone shot over 180 rounds into the CDC, killed an Dekalb County Police Officer, and the President has not said a damn thing about it?

Quick note: be extra careful if you're going to share DC crime stats today. I haven't had time to do a thorough dig, but there appear to be several factors that can make it easy to accidentally or deliberately skew the data to favor either side.

Had to actually look up the video clip from Fox on this one b/c I didn't think this could possibly be verbatim. What other countries have single-party systems, Jesse? What do we call those countries, Jesse? Not usually democracies or constitutional republics...

Meanwhile a new coal mine just got fast tracked in Utah. The % of our power from coal has been going down, but that trend may be about to reverse. Yay job security at air filter companies? #utpol

More factual source, though saying much the same thing. We have a long and rich history of supporting dictators with oil reserves or socialist opponents, but given the context of current discussions in the US about term limits this seems worse than usual. apnews.com/article/buke...

Hey @jd-vance-1.bsky.social If you want more people to have kids, maybe go a little deeper on root causes than a one-time baby bonus. Hint: few people *want* to be broke, stressed, and unhappy. Plus risk: our maternal mortality rates are truly embarassing. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Sharing as some good news

💯.

Interesting thing: apparently the tariffs are currently on track to even out the tax cuts-credit where due, that is what they said would happen. Now, the problem is who's paying those tariffs now+long-term, and does that make them just more taxes on people who buy stuff. TBD, will be interesting.

Confirmed per the Hill. Fun fact: MLK Jr was arrested 29 times. If the Texas Democrats end up detained, it'll be for good cause and place them among good company in history. Seriously though, when did this become okay?

Utah leaders would redraw the map to favor Republicans but they already did that

Well, I guess Trump 2.0 improved job security for lawyers, if no one else.

The White House landscape now matches our national political one.

Do the words "Taxation Without Representation" still mean anything to Americans ? One of the reasons that "foreign tariffs" is an Article 1 (Congress) power is to allow "The People" through Congressional approval decide whether they want to pay MORE for imported goods. #TariffsAreATax
