It’s midnight, which means Trump’s government just ran out of money. Our entire government is shut down because Republicans in power refuse to lower health care costs.

Yes!

Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets. • Joy Reid • Don Lemon • Melissa Harris-Perry • Tiffany Cross • Jemele Hill • Marc Lamont Hill • Karen Attiah • Amber Ruffin

If you think that adults taking Tylenol hurt kids, just wait until you read what the adults in the Epstein Files were doing to them.

UCLA’s funds reinstated after yesterday’s court order! Thanks to the brave researchers and their amazing counsel, including Dean Chemerinsky, who brought suit. This is just another turn in the ongoing fight, but a great result for now.

Even #AI knows that you it's wrong to stall #union negotiations.

Bob Iger has a real chance to be a hero here and say “Fuck you. Make me.” to the FCC by reinstating Kimmel. I’ll sign back up for Disney+ if he does. Until then, keep canceling your subscriptions!

Death be not proud. Or dignified.

Thank you for coming to my Teddy talk.

Incredible image. Also incredible that the vast majority of white Christians in this country align with the men in camo.

Respectfully disagree: 1) in fact it is unusual for a democracy w/ this level of GDP to turn authoritarian & so quickly; 2) the weakness of both institutions (congress & courts) and individuals (Schumer etc) is shocking. Would take less than 10 people in congress or 2 SC justices to stop all this.

Something the popularists still, somehow, don’t understand is that you need to run on issues that are popular WITH THE PEOPLE WHO ARE OPEN TO VOTING FOR YOU. If they are defintely not voting for you, sure, make an argument, try to convince them. But their opinions really don’t matter electorally!

Dutch late night TV has its take

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

We Should Have Finished Reconstruction: A Brief History Of American Politics, 1865-2025

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

Rest In Peace Melissa Hortman.

NEW: No, Charlie Kirk was not practicing politics the right way. That's what Ezra Klein said. We can condemn this heinous assassination but also recognize that with his 2020 election denialism and extremist rhetoric, Kirk built his movement with falsehoods and in a wrong and divisive manner.

The assassination of Charlie Kirk makes we worry we can no longer have peaceful discussions of whether gays should be stoned to death or civil and collegial debates about whether black people are inherently inferior. Our culture will suffer. New York Times tomorrow

Because they have always been at war with open, diverse, coastal cities… since the 5th century BCE.

These are all people who wanted to kill their enemies before Charlie Kirk was shot, are more vocal about it now, and will keep lusting for it long after Charlie Kirk has been buried. Today’s biggest event could have been a dog farting and they would have reacted by wanting you dead.

Losing my goddamned mind. We can condemn political violence without valorizing a destructive, hateful bigot.

Faculty must mobilize and organize. Mobilization and organization was the origin of the university, and it is its future.

So happy and proud to see so many @mcgillarts.bsky.social colleagues, including many from the @mcgillpolisci.bsky.social department, attending the #AMPFA Welcome Back Week and even getting involved in the faculty association's governance!

Newsom: Perhaps the president could deploy the National Guard in every corner of Mississippi. Murder rate is out of control there. And the governor may want to make that phone call.

Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadn’t happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.

Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.

Translation: "For the first time in my life, I, Stephen 'Guns' Miller, can walk into the locker room without having to worry about getting a wedgie."

One year ago today, my union, AMPL-AMPD began the last phase of its 2024 strike, which would end with the unprecedented recognition of three #McGill University faculty unions on October 1st. 1/6

also like, "neither left or right parties" are almost ALWAYS right-wing

May his days be few; may another seize his position… For he did not remember to show kindness, but pursued the poor and needy and the brokenhearted to their death. (Psalm 109:8 and 16)

It has always been a war against the urban civilization. Since the time of Pericles. "We throw open our city to the world, and never by alien acts exclude foreigners from any opportunity of learning or observing, 1/4

Cities aren’t scary. You are scared. There’s a difference

ICE, America's first interior police, are not being built up, at the cost of billions, just to monitor immigration www.nytimes.com/2025/08/14/u...

Parents, be vigilant against PragerU instructional materials in your kids classrooms! It’s an extremist outfit masquerading as an educational nonprofit. It’s a far right wing response to PBS kid’s programming, it is propaganda designed to appeal to children and careless or bigoted educators. Beware!

(Looks to my right) Mike pence: FREE TRADE WITH FREE NATIONS (Looks to my left) Bill Kristol: ABOLISH DHS chat it’s getting weird in here

Odd, how South Park is covering Kristi Noem and her ICE hooligans more accurately than The New York Times.

Ken Paxton is the most corrupt Attorney General in Texas history. This malignant clown was impeached by his own party. He has ZERO credibility on issues of law and order. Pipe down.

Kennedy Curse Sure Taking Its Sweet Time With RFK Jr.

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.
