“We’re grateful to RFK Jr.—otherwise we might put something unnatural into our bodies, like vaccines.”

After backlash from the FCC, ABC suspended @jimmykimmel.com's show over his comments about the killing of Charlie Kirk. Listen to @freedom.press Advocacy Director @seth-stern.bsky.social explain on DW News why Trump's censorship of rhetoric he doesn’t like is “un-American and unconstitutional.”

It’s insane how many Charlie Kirk conspiracy theories are circulating on the right. I’ve seen about 8 different people pinpointed as “for sure the shooter” in the last few days. You guys realize that if it wasn’t Tyler Robinson, that destroys your whole trans narrative, right?

Heghlu'meH QaQ jajvam!

A president using the power of the state to punish critics — or to condition basic government services on political fealty — is not merely rough politics. It is aimed at crushing dissent and free and fair elections. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

BREAKING: The DOJ has SUED Maine and Oregon for refusing to hand over their full, unredacted voter registration lists. As more states push back against federal overreach in their elections, the DOJ is now suing to force access to sensitive voter data.

Awful as things are under Trump 2.0, they’d be far worse still without the courage of a handful of federal judges willing to rule against him. Paula Xinis of Maryland has been a key leader in defending the law from the administration's abuses. trib.al/OAhL2CT

They’re having a hard time coping because the killer was white and Christian, but statistically that’s the profile for political violence. And that profile gets the benefit of the doubt. If he were Black, she’d be foaming at the mouth. “What happened to him?” -Megyn Kelly Nick Fuentes happened!

Mother fuckers have been calling us "Communist", "Baby killers", "Satanists", "Groomers" and more for decades while they spread non-stop lies about everything but if one of us even calls them an "idiot" they will want to round us all up and throw us in concentration camps for "inciting violence".

Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian export oil pipelines and the doubling of US tariffs on India are hitting Moscow's crude flows. Weekly crude shipments from Russian ports fell by 320,000 barrels a day in the week to August 24, according to tanker-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg.

Using dedicated state funding and new laws for fighting organized retail theft, local officials just took down a MAJOR crime ring in Southern California.  Proud of the progress being made on public safety by our local partners across the state, including the Ventura County Sheriff.

The killing of journalist Anas al-Sharif in Gaza may be a war crime. Could Israel be prosecuted? Yes, legal experts tell @joelsimonsays.bsky.social in @columjournreview.bsky.social.

This is very bad news. Louisiana won't even defend its own map in SCOTUS. It abandoned its own Black voters. Those of us committed to defending the VRA are now entirely on our own. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

🔥🇮🇳🇬🇧EMPIRE OF THIEVES: HOW BRITAIN BLEW ITS COLONIES DRY The British Empire wasn’t just a global power — it was history’s biggest robbery. They stole trillions from India, stripped Africa of gold & diamonds, and built their empire on famine, slavery, debt.

OK so I promised I would revisit how to protect your personal information in light of the news today that the DOGEbags uploaded a ton of people’s information to a cloud server that could be hacked, thanks to an SSA whistleblower. Here’s my original thread from like February, but I have some updates.

Trump is the wrong guy in the wrong place as POTUS. His unfairness, hatred, greed, bias, vengeance, lack of ability to think or even talk coherently, is appalling. It is time for him to go....but how?

Being a republican means you don’t have to believe any truth you don’t like or that makes you uncomfortable. Emotional cowards with zero integrity

Just when you thought you couldn’t be surprised anymore by MAGA, along comes THIS guy.

Look another R pedo! Are we surprised?

Sounds like these red state governors should get their own houses in order before sending their National Guard troops to DC.

Here’s the student paper’s story. They had to delay until one, the principal lifted an illegal censorship order, and two, a judge reminded the school it can’t fire an adviser for letting students report news. Help these young journalists make up for lost time — spread the story far and wide.

The amusing thing about this clip is the infrastructure bill was literally the first and only thing Nancy Mace brought up in terms of her accomplishments in Congress. Her biggest win for her district was legislation she voted against.

In lasted attempt at distracting from the Jeffrey Epstein cover up, Trump is now attacking US museums and inciting discourse about the 1861 US civil war, and attempting to provoke a reaction by downplaying Slavery. Trump has previous been reported to have enslaved young models. #opdeatheaters

When Eric Adams won the 2021 NYC Democratic primary, Speaker Pelosi was “honored” to host him and was seated near Biden at a White House session. Four years later, Zohran Mamdani has won by a larger margin than Adams—but the party’s establishment is dissing him. trib.al/qlVjX5t

Tariffs.

Republicans are going to spin this, but the truth of the so called Fair Tax Act is that the working class will get screwed yet again. Being a 1099 employee RAISES your taxes, eliminated union protections, ends pensions & benefits, and actually LOWERS your income! Call your rep! #ProudBlue #Pinks

We shouldn’t lose sight of the fact that the Epstein files is a Republican issue. For a decade they’ve sold conspiracy theories about a world run by pedophile sex traffickers & that 47 expose it all. Maybe they don’t want to release the files because they show how FOS they are?
