This is because Intuit, Inc. gave Donald Trump $1,000,000 for his "inauguration." Intuit owns Turbo Tax, which makes money off charging taxpayers to file their returns. The corruption is rampant and in plain sight.

Just saw the short: “The Traveler and the Troll” at the @anomalyfilmfest.com - it was the perfect start to what is sure to be a great festival! @erikaishii.bsky.social was perfect casting!

Apparently all you needed to do to predict the NYC election results was read that one N.K. Jemisin novel.

wow, this sure sounds like a bombshell that should have been reported in a timely fashion so that--i'm sorry, i'm being told that it was destined for something far more important than the fate of democracy: a journalist's *book*

Running gag goes meta as Johnson says he knows nothing about Trump knowing nothing

This is brilliant

JB Pritzker: “President Trump and his bootlickers have torn down the US Department of Education from the inside. Books are being banned. History is being erased. I’m sorry to be vulgar, but Donald Trump and his cronies can fuck all the way off” 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper www.irishexaminer.com/sport-column...

Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

Pritzer gets the mechanics of authoritarianism – systemic intimidation, seizing control of elections, etc. – in a way others in national democratic leadership don't or won't say out loud.

WIRED asked security and privacy experts for their advice for hardening personal privacy protections and resisting surveillance. Here are their recommendations.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

You almost certainly aren’t going to get out of the war crimes tribunal by producing a letter that you solicited because you were aware that the legality of your orders was questionable.

I wonder if the statute of limitations are passed to sue all the stations that only showed the bad side of Osama bin Laden

ah so I see we’re back to the never-ending disinformation stress test for the entire healthcare community Everything is 2020 again.

Hmmm...I wonder what it means when 97% of the stories are bad about a person. Who was convicted of 34 felonies and has fully embraced fascism to intimidate protection of the rest of his corruption like his partners Netanyahu and Putin.

I like this. Since under RFK Jr, Covid shots are now for people with underlying conditions that put them at risk, Michigan’s chief medical executive Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian states that not having the most recent Covid shot constitutes such an underlying condition. www.michigan.gov/mdhhs/inside...

“Government officials cannot attempt to coerce private parties in order to punish or suppress views that the government disfavors."This doesn't just constrain Democrats. It applies to all officeholders, including you. You took an oath to the Constitution not to Donald Trump.

School cell phone ban creates surge in JCPS library visits (KY) 📚 www.wave3.com/2025/09/02/s...

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly. sbgi.net/tv-stations/

Don’t you dare call us fascists, they say, as they force people off the airwaves for criticizing them while vowing to crush and criminalize their opposition.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

First Colbert, now Kimmel. Last-minute settlements, secret side deals, multi-billion dollar mergers pending Donald Trump's approval. Trump silencing free speech stifles our democracy. It sure looks like giant media companies are enabling his authoritarianism.

Q: Do you think it would've been fitting to lower the flags to half staff when Melissa Hortman, the Minnesota House Speaker, was gunned down by an assassin? TRUMP: I'm not familiar. The who?

One of the reasons the right is convinced that violence is only directed at them is their ability to ignore and forget all the acts of violence committed against the other side of the aisle. Ask Trump about the firebombing of Shapiro's home or the plot to kidnap Whitmer and I guarantee he'd whiff.

Recognizing that many of us are in different information environments is important. Additionally, there are a ton of deliberate misinformation outlets from other countries trying to sow discord.

This story is WILD. Trump sent Seal Team 6 into North Korea to plant a listening device. The entire thing went sideways within minutes of landing when they noticed a fishing boat near the beach. They killed everyone on board, sunk the bodies to cover their tracks, and fled. Congress was never told.

Duke cut librarians. It never told the faculty they worked with 📚 dukechronicle.com/article/duke...

If the Trump White House wants to ban all transgender people from owning guns because a handful were responsible for mass shootings, wait until they hear how many shootings straight cis white guys have done.

RFK JR: We're not going to recommend a product for which there's no clinical data for that indication—is that what I should be doing? Warren: What you should be doing is honoring your promise that you made when you were looking to get confirmed in this job.

Unbelievably bad. “The CDC you knew is over. Unless someone takes radical action, there is nothing there that can be salvaged.” www.advocate.com/politics/dem...

Scheduled to get last year’s Covid vaccine from my neighborhood Wegmans-they canceled the appointment yesterday due to the new vaccine schedule. I hope RFK never has a moment of peace or comfort for the rest of his life.

Rochester, NY: garbage plate, with extra raw onions and chili sauce.

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back

Fixed it for him: "Last night in New York City, a single mother and her children slept at a homeless shelter because I, as governor, showered luxury developers with tax breaks, cut NYCHA funding, gutted rent laws, blocked tenant protections, and oversaw the loss of 150k+ affordable units."

It's been headed here the whole GD time and if the churches they go to get a say we aren't even gonna be allowed to wear pants anymore
