The very botched Comey indictment.. solid takedown from someone who was a competent fed prosecutor (which none of the people in pix below are) open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

More guns than people… Is it freedom or a national death cult that keeps growing?

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance However, they are weaker than they look…

Cartoonist Jesse Duquette honored the guy who escaped ICE on his bike with a new cartoon.

Where have we seen this before?

This photo just about sums it up

This current American presidential administration is run by people who are quite obviously mentally ill, and we need to start talking about that.

I'd be curious to know who much it cost the American taxpayers to flying generals in from all over the world so Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump would have a captive audience to witness their weird and dangerous witlessness live.

Good news, but I hate that it took a judge to do it.

Why can’t we have nice things, too, instead of more spread of preventable diseases?

“To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police.” - Judge William Young, September 30, 2025

Remember this video when your card gets declined at the checkout

Imagine you're a career military general being summoned for a pentagon strategy lecture by a former game show host and a former weekend talk show host.

1 transgender shooter GOP: "We must institutionalize all transgenders!" 47,209 white male shooters GOP: "This is the cost of freedom."

“There will be no federal takeover of Portland, Oregon.” 🔥 👀 Damn — @bynum.house.gov is. Not. Playing. Around.

Mass shootings in the US, per Gun Violence Archive: 2015: 332 2016: 383 2017: 347 2018: 335 2019: 414 2020: 611 2021: 689 2022: 644 2023: 659 2024: 503 So far in 2025...324 mass shootings in just 272 days. We do not have to keep living like this.

Meiselas: One question I have is why do we even have a funding issue? If Trump brought in $17 trillion, why is there even an issue with funding? If we brought in $17 trillion, shouldn’t Trump just be making it rain on everybody and there’s so much money to go—oh, wait a minute.

YouTube will fork over $24.5 million to settle a lawsuit brought by President Donald Trump over his suspension from the platform after the Jan. 6, 2021 riot.

UPDATE — Gov. Pritzker said DHS sent a memo to “the Department of War” seeking to deploy 100 troops to Illinois to protect immigration agents and facilities. Also, local leaders describe Broadview ICE facility as “a black hole” with hundreds detained inside. thetriibe.com/2025/09/live...

Jessica: The guy who drove up to the Mormon church… was a Trump supporter. He had a Trump-Vance flag in his backyard… When the shoe is on the other foot and you can't demonize the left for this one, they say nothing.

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

It’s official: AIPAC is trying to buy my election to keep me out of Congress. Apparently, I’m a “dangerous detractor”... by believing Palestinians (like myself and my family) deserve basic human rights. But we’re not going to let AIPAC win.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

He wants to dictate what the press can say. What a university can teach. Whom a company can employ. And to whom the law shall apply. He who wants all this is not a president, But strives to be a dictator. And all who succumb are not citizens, But subjects.

Heartbroken by news of yet another senseless act of violence this morning at a house of worship. No American should ever fear for their safety - least of all when gathering peacefully to pray - and yet tragedies like this have become frequent.

Stop the scapegoating and start dealing with America’s real gun crisis. HOMEGROWN‼️

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.

The #USPS is holding a vote to choose a stamp to reissue, and one of them is the “Emancipation Proclamation” stamp. Wouldn’t it be great if that one won by a landslide? #Vote online at www.stampsforever.com/vote The deadline is Sept 30th, please act now!

Live from "war ravaged" Portland

George Hardy, last of the Tuskegee Airmen's World War II combat pilots, dies at 100

I'm glad to see House Democrats are pressing to get Rep-Elect Grijalva seated, because the fight over this is just a prelude to what the House Republicans will try in January 2027, when charges of "voter fraud" will lead to "serious questions" that will delay the seating of several new Democrats.

I have assumed this for some time, but we are seeing it play out in real time.

Federal health officials are warning consumers not to eat certain heat-and-eat pasta meals sold at Walmart and Trader Joe’s because they may be contaminated with listeria bacteria previously linked to a deadly outbreak. apnews.com/article/walm...

The same guy telling you Portland is war-ravaged, told you Mexico was going to pay for the wall and people were eating your pets in Ohio.

I feel very strongly that we must use the next three years to build a new opposition movement. I tried to lay out my reasons and what I think we need to do to make it happen. Please watch, comment, and share. youtu.be/_GUgnpAYMCc

This is just the beginning of companies doing this. None of us sane folks voted for this 😒
