Republicans own the Presidency, and both the House & Senate. So how is the shutdown Democrats fault exactly? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Strong resisters to follow 💙

Despicable.

Suffice to say all eyes will be on the United States military as Trump declares war on American cities. The military has sworn to defend the Constitution, and not to obey illegal orders. Military leadership has a life or death choice-either obey a tyrant or do its duty.

Trump is deliberately crashing the economy: here’s the proof.

Must-watch interview: Te-Nehasi Coates on the Ezra Klein Show. Major head bump on Charlie Kirk. Both side-ism cannot apply in the CK case arguesTe-Nehasi. 💯 % agreed.

Trump’s wants a shutdown so he can bury facts:economic statistics reported by the Bureau of Labour~This includes jobs numbers, inflation, rising prices on everything, housing statistics-any information that the average person needs. All to conceal his failed economic policies-particularly tariffs.

Patel says the Epstein “black book” is under direct control of the FBI Director. Raskin asks why he won’t release it-Patel answers “because of whom is on the list”. Sounds like an admission of the coverup. Raskin refuses to give Patel quarter in this contentious confrontation.

The Rule of Law? Doesn’t exist in a dictatorship. A warrant requirement? Forget about it. Your Constitutional rights are dead af under the Reich.

Good information from Michael Popak, attorney, co-founder of MediasTouch.

Trump instructed the military to use “full force” in Portland, Oregon. He’s said he hates us and now he’s ordering the troops to commit murder for him.

A message from Robert Reich.

MeidasTouchNetwork: “Based on what we know now, the people who were killed were detainees-not ICE. Maybe wait a beat before trying to capitalize on every tragedy? You’re the Vice President of the United States.Not a random sh-t poster.”

DJT babbled for an hour at the UN.He told the countries they were all going to hell,climate change didn’t exist& that he deserved a Nobel Peace Prize even though ending the war in Ukraine was hard.He made a fool of himself and embarrassed the U.S. beyond belief.In other words, he went full Shitler.

Grindr crashed at Charlie Kirk’s funeral—proof the GOP’s war on gay rights ends where their closet begins.

Kimmel’s coming back tomorrow. As Patti Smith said “the people have the power”. We can control all the ongoing crap if only we unite. 💙

What better way to wake up the U.S. than mass TV cancellations? Interference with the country’s television addiction is pissing off millions, but essentially, people are aware free speech is being infringed—and they’re fighting back.

DJT had this study deleted because the truth of it is undeniable.

Is it a memorial service for CK or the opening act of an ongoing grift? They didn’t even bother to put his picture on the program.

In April 2024,lHumanistsUK reported that the Alliance DefendingFreedom was investing hundreds of millions of dollars in Europe,particularly the UK,to further the political agenda it pursued in the United States,which has seen the overturn of Roe v Wade&constitutional protections for abortion rights.

We need to be very clear about this. Rising Christian nationalism is a threat to us all. humanists.uk/2025/09/17/r...

Jamie Raskin effectively eviscerated FBI Director Kash Patel during the House meetings…he nailed Patel to his alter-ego, ‘Cash the Knight’, a character Patel invented to star in Patel’s trilogy of children’s books. A knight who cleans up messes for Donald Trump, believe it or not. 👀

Regarding Jimmy Kimmel’s cancellation—

DJT is re-writing the history of slavery in the U.S. Removing information and photos at national parks and museums…but he’s determined to preserve those Confederate monuments. Of course.

Requiescat in Pace, Robert Redford🕊️

Absolutely brilliant. Someone is projecting bigly images of the pedophiles Epstein and Trump on Windsor Castle and authorities can’t get it down. Good on ya’s, proud of you, UK. 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 🇬🇧👊🏼😼💙

DOJ is scrubbing reports that document the surge in white supremacist violence and redirecting resources away from counterterrorism investigations&this morning, while all of this is happening, a manhunt has been launched in Pittsburgh arising out of what may be a terror attack at the FBI building.

The kids march to the Tennessee Capitol Building for help…because they’re afraid they’ll be shot at school. Spoiler alert: Republicans have a super majority in the Tennessee legislature…

London. September 17.

This is a gift, according to Ben. Canks is suing the NYT for defamation. He has to enter a deposition. MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas reports on how Donald Trump just waived his immunity and executive. Meiselas urges The NY Times to take Trump’s deposition and demand discovery immediately.

Be careful what you ask to receive. CK wanted public executions, but never thought he’d star in one. It’s weird to me—he claimed to be a Christian: after the Crucifixion, doesn’t it seem logical that Christians would be anti-execution?

Everything you probably didn’t want to know about Nick Fuentes, the far right white nationalist podcaster and head Groyper, who survives C.K. as leader of organised hate in the United States. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/09/

His apology was unconvincing and obviously made to save his job. At the very least Kilmeade deserves to be fired-Don Lemon was let go for a much smaller infraction. From now on, he should always be introduced with the sobriquet Brian “Kill them all” Kilmeade.

Despite enmity, false accusations and threats of violence, we remain steadfast. ‘Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for the truth’. ~Benjamin Disraeli

UK radio presenter clearly condemned Charlie Kirk’s murder but listeners got mad because he played recordings of Charlie Kirk stating his opinions youtu.be/D7XyhHLv6cI?...

Pointing out Charlie Kirk's hate speech is not hate speech. It's objective reporting. Apologize to Matthew Dowd and rehire him. A full-throated embrace of genocide is hate speech – beyond all measure. Fire Brian Kilmeade. Immediately.

chuffed.org/project/1476... THE LONG MARCH FOR GAZA is happening on 13th September, Malin Head to Buncrana 💚❤🤍🖤 This distance is 25 miles, the length of Gaza (something to think about!)

Who needs a psychiatric degree to diagnose Nancy Mace as mentally ill?

FBI says the suspect in the Kirk shooting is in custody after he confessed to his father who turned him in.

Supposedly someone close to the shooter turned him in.

Justice prevails in Brazil. Meanwhile, the United States…well, you know.

The thing is, as much as they want to immortalize Charlie Kirk to justify and escalate their platform of hate, they’ll forget about him in a month and move onto something else. Hate is a fire. It has no memory. It doesn’t need a reason. It just needs to burn.

What happened in Northern Ireland teaches us that state oppression follows a predictable pattern.First the rhetoric that dehumanizes the target population.Then the laws that strip away rights. Thenl violence,official & unofficial, against resisters. Finally,the oppressed have to step up or submit.

michaelpopok.substack.com/p/epstein-le... Bloomberg has gotten its hands on thousands of emails belonging to Jeffrey Epstein and released them. They prove Maxwell lied in her interview with the DOJ & that Trump exercised “willful blindness” in claims of not knowing about Epstein being a pedophile.
