Modi and Xi forge strong new ties as Trump shreds America's relations with India over Nobel Prize lies. Yet again, China reaps huge gains through Trump's inept and corrupt conduct. www.ft.com/content/890c...

What a POS

Absurd and outrageous map would lead to a 7-1 GOP margin in a state that is often split about 60-40 GOP by creating an absurd district 5 that spans about two thirds of the way across the state, 200 miles from West to East Oppose this.

This is an unconstitutional and authoritarian power grab. The constitution grants power over federal elections to the states and Congress - not the president.

Why do you appreciate unions? I’ll start: Weekends off Paid vacations Work breaks Sick leave Paid holidays No child labor Safer working conditions Health care and retirement benefits

The Trump plan for Gaza includes the relocation of the entire population - 2 million people - a US “trusteeship” and the creation of a tourism and tech hub. Landowners get digital tokens worth $5,000 and rent subsidies. Investors are promised 4x return on $100 billion.

This is a great time to remind everyone that EOs aren’t laws, the federal government doesn’t manage voting in this way, and it’s all a scare tactic and any reporting that doesn’t provide that context is enabling potentially lawless activity.

“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.

CEOs are a curse on humanity.... Polish CEO Piotr Szczerek, literally stealing treats from a child.

The Trump administration is undertaking an unprecedented strategy to try to undermine our elections. They are doing so by rewriting election rules, targeting election officials, supporting election deniers, and retreating from protecting voting rights. bit.ly/4l1lUPP

CHICAGO…

Saddened to hear of the passing of Dr. Rossiter, who told the stories of the many forgotten and underappreciated women of science. Like many women of her generation, she survived academia by developing a tough exterior, but her support for jr women, myself included, was unwavering. RIP, Margaret.

Most people dream of him in an early grave. I'd prefer to see him hale and hearty, and enjoying the inside a prison cell after being removed from office.

Trump has not made any public appearances in the last several days. His public schedule shows no public events or appearances scheduled on August 29 and 30. Makes you wonder…

The Guardian is finally saying it: It’s all about the racism. No “both sides.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This would certainly fail me... I find it very hard to do eye contact in conversations (and incidentally, this is just digitizing a common prejudice that has been used as a bogus indicator of "truthfulness" by police and recruiters alike, for years). #AI #biometrics

Alan Dershowitz has become a querulous, lawless buffoon and serial abuser of the legal system. This lawsuit was indefensible and a contemptible example of the sentiment “I am famous and important, you can’t disrespect me.”

Joni Ernst, who cast key vote on Hegseth, vandalizes U.S. military and walks away.

I’m so grateful that I have tenure and the academic freedom to call it like I see it. “Dr. Kathleen Bachynski, a professor of public health at Muhlenberg College, described Kennedy’s comments as “absolute gibberish” and slammed the HHS secretary as a “dangerous buffoon” who is “threatening us all.”

He rose to power through crying about censorship from the medical establishment. And now Vinay Prasad is spending his time as an FDA official censoring his critics.

Our client, Mohsen Mahdawi, just finished his citizenship interview when ICE arrested him in retaliation for his pro-Palestinian activism. Now, the government is asking an appeals court to re-detain him for no other reason than his speech. We won’t back down from protecting our right to dissent.

Something blue states will need to explore: how to create cross-state compacts dedicated to a functioning government as the Trump administration walks away from it's responsibilities.

Idk about Hathaway but both Swift and Gomez are extremely/intelligently litigious. This could be good.

Prolly pocketed some of that after he lied about the costs.

Every sick, evil, thing Republicans claim Democrats will do to citizens becomes a horrible reality under Republicans. Guns, health care, the economy or our environment... the GOP has proven time and time again that they are a Death Cult.

Reason 4857 why health care should never be for profit: AI DEATH PANELS. This is the same kind of program used to deny claims at United Health, and they want to use this for VA claims, too.

He's a union buster, Trump megadonor, noted friend to multiple sex criminals, and an incompetent, paranoid dope who let MSG be used for a Nazi rally before the election. But yeah, keep posting these cute lil vids.

Offshore wind is the most promising ocean-based climate solution. The Trump administration is destroying a livable future for everyone.

Now Trump's just showing off his depravity... www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

🎶 Boom! Here comes the boom! 🎶 🎶 Ready or not, here comes the boys from the South 🎶 🎶 Boom! Here comes the boom! 🎶 🎶 Ready or not, how you like me now? I say... 🎶

this is one of the president's' closest advisors. the mainstream media refuses to reckon with this so substitutes in a fictional sanewashed trump and fictional west wing in which loomer doesn't participate in their stories. telling the truth would not help trump so they don't do it

What a cursed sentence (gift link) “The A.I. companies selected to oversee the program would have a strong financial incentive to deny claims. Medicare plans to pay them a share of the savings generated from rejections.”

This guy has zero regard for the rule of law, and he's a judge now.

Because good Baptists like Mike believe strongly in covering up the sexual depredations of their leadership, and in lying resolutely all about it.

I still can’t believe voters chose the guy whose solution to inflation was even higher inflation

Have faith. Democracy prevails, no matter how long it takes.

Welcome news. For blue states must hang together or will hang separately.

Firefighters in Washington State putting out a 9,000 acre wildfire were stopped by ICE. It turns out some of the firefighters are tribal members. Those tribal members are putting out the fires on their beloved ancestral lands. Colonizers continue to oppress and they have not stopped!

A couple of months ago, the Navy dishonored civil rights hero Harvey Milk by removing his name from a ship. Now, the Air Force is dishonoring itself by celebrating a domestic terrorist called Ashli Babbitt.

Missouri; Sickest State of the Union... "Mandatory paid sick leave will officially end in Missouri on Thursday, putting an end to the voter-approved policy just months after it went into effect. Gov. Mike Kehoe signed House Bill 567 into law earlier this year... "

I am lightly horrified by how many people have now looked up their books and found out their publishers (who often were required contractually!!!!) just... didn't register the copyrights on books. Not all of them! Just sporadically! This is not just one publisher, I've seen all the big ones now.

A South Carolina School school district included a letter in their graduation packet to seniors from Rep. Magnuson that included evangelistic statements. We have confirmed that the school district will ensure this doesn't happen again. ffrf.us/4m90pNT

It's important to know what we're dealing with. Though some in the media still try to horse-race, both sides this, we're faced with psychopaths at the helm of our nation's public health, scientific and healthcare efforts. They want to inflict pain and suffering. It's a goal, not a by-product. 6/

Trump does not have the type of paramilitary mass organization that characterized interwar European fascism. But he is rapidly and systematically building a machinery that serves a similar purpose and functions to impose martial law in the streets.
