You were born to work, worker! Work and die.

We live in the richest country in the history of the world. Yet, a small handful of billionaires own as much wealth as the bottom 50 percent of the globe. That is a crisis.

The president of the United States is so brain-dead that he doesn't remember which country he's threatening to destroy the world's greatest military alliance over.

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia. Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.” Really listen to it.

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

This was once Park Avenue. Bring it back:

The Democratic party would win elections repeatedly if they competently challenged corporate power.

To be clear, this should be one of the biggest scandals to ever reach the presidency. DOJ - after illegally scrubbing Trump from the Epstein files - is retroactively removing files they missed that would be embarrassing to the President. It’s a complete affront to Justice.

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

If anyone needs a quick guide:

None of what Trump is doing is popular and voters are telling us that

Yes, this is a bipartisan tragedy and long-time coverup. No matter. Release the Epstein files. Stop protecting wealthy pedophiles and rapists. Expose them all; then put them in prison.

Jeffries: "The Trump administration and Mike Johnson are running a pedophile protection program. That's the reason they refuse to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva."

This dystopian video is previewing a violent takeover, not a targeted law enforcement action. It's insane. Trump is militarizing our cities to STOKE violence. Not to reduce it. These are the tried and true tactics of authoritarians - plain and simple.

NYC: ICE is unwelcome in the city. Citizens have surrounded them and forced them to leave.

the truth is that this isn't a theocracy and jesus isn't my fucking king

Here are the details and our methodology. Judge for yourself: www.propublica.org/article/immi...

Mike Johnson is covering up for pedophiles. I won't stop saying it.

JORDAN: Comey is where weaponization all started. 9 years ago he took the dossier-- BASH: But that's not what he's being prosecuted for JORDAN: I'm just saying, you want to talk about weaponization, that's where it started BASH: So this is retribution then

Absurd. Peaceful opposition is not insurrection.

The situation in America is not great. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

I really wish media covering Trump's invasion of US cities would step away from this "Trump wants to fight crime, but how bad is it really?" framing. They obviously don't give a shit about local crime, but this manufactured narrative dominates all the coverage. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

JUST IN: A U.S. citizen from Alabama who has been detained twice by ICE while working at a construction site, has filed a class action suit claiming ICE's broad warrantless arrest powers violate the constitution. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

It’s gone so quickly from ‘boat people’ to all immigrants. So quickly from ‘I don’t mind if they come here legally and pay taxes’ to ‘actually it’s anyone foreign’. We are living in the ‘first they came for’ poem. All to give the population a scapegoat so the super rich can hoard yet more wealth.

This is simply untenable. There is no way forward with media and political classes captured by the right. Every time someone commits a crime you have to pray it's not an undesirable or it's purge time, then when it turns out to be themselves again they just shrug and wait for the next one.

My quote of the day It isn't enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn't enough to believe in it. One must work at it. Eleanor Roosevelt

It just occured to me that the people with money and power are freaking out because they know there's going to be a third Luigi

Crockett: There were lots of modeling agencies that were doing things and the modeling agency was basically a farce. And there's a lot of people that we want to talk to. And a lot of these models came from foreign countries. I'm going to just leave it there.

NEW: JPMorgan, the largest US bank, enabled the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein. The bank lent him money, created accounts for his victims, disregarded suspicious transactions and overruled employees who raised concerns. @mattgoldstein26.bsky.social @jsgatnyt.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/09/08/m...

Trump: “Invest in 🇺🇸!” Also Trump:

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

Your neighbor is not your enemy. The billionaires are lying. Because it’s easier to pick our pockets when we’re fighting each other.

This is the second day in a row he’s said this. This is an intentional normalization effort.

Didn't both Elon Musk and Melania Trump violate the terms of their U.S. visas?

Contrary to what they want you to think, billionaires don’t create wealth. Workers do.

THEY'VE LITERALLY PURGED WEBSITES OF HISTORY THEY DON'T LIKE

Exclusive: The Justice Department told President Trump in May that his name is among many in the Epstein files.

This is definitely what you would do if there were nothing to see there

Reporter: Yesterday you said you weren't sure who ordered the munitions halted to Ukraine—have you since been able to figure that out? Trump: I have not thought about it. Reporter: What does it say that such a big decision could be made inside your government without you knowing?

It’s costing taxpayers $450/M annually & Alligator Alcatraz concentration camp is already flooding. Imagine a hurricane. People are going to die. There’s always enough money to hurt folks, but when it comes to public transit, low-income housing, schools, or public healthcare, “Sorry, we’re broke.”

I know these guys love racism but I have to believe that they’re this laser focused on a massive, militarized, executive branch police force because that’s just the start.

The louder and more psychotic the billionaire-funded anti-Mamdani propaganda gets, the more I like the guy. If all the most evil bastards in America are this terrified of you, you must be exactly the right kind of person we need to change all this awfulness those evil bastards have foisted onto us.

The secret that explains everything is that they all want war. They think it’s exciting. The Republicans, the media, too many Democrats. If there’s a deal that prevents war they’ll break it. If there’s no reason for war they’ll invent one. It’s not a last resort; it’s the goal.
