When Laura Ingraham was told that recent polling showed rural voters had soured on Trump she warned her audience that they'd end up eating bugs if they didn't vote for Republicans.

This is the disease for which I research and advocate: #MECFS. Even mild presentation is life-changing, and this is what severe looks like. People are surprised so many of us were athletes. They want to believe this can only happen to people who were already unwell. www.bbc.com/sport/athlet...

idk man you’ve been blowing up a lot of fishermen and school girls for a guy worried about innocent life

Pritzker: I’m not going to spend much time at all talking about Trump because it can ruin a perfectly good meal for all of us. But I do need to get something off of my chest… There are too many women in this country who are living under the yoke of tyranny…

Abandoned, dismissed and gaslighted: there is no excuse for the way ME sufferers have been betrayed | George Monbiot

I have been diagnosed with CFS but idk how real that is despite being very sick. I had a doctors appt yesterday and despite being a good doctor who was trying their best, I am left again with no real diagnosis or interest in treating my symptoms or really figure out what’s going on.

Here's today's column on the astonishing, ongoing mistreatment of people with #ME/CFS. Please spread it far and wide: the only thing which can break the media's wall of indifference is seeing an article about the issue go viral. Thank you. 1/2 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

FBI Warns ICE Agents Not to Trust Any Woman Willing to Date Them

Former Canada Prime Minister Jean Chrétien: "I have message for American friends...never mistake our generosity for weakness. Never mistake our tolerance for lack of determination. And never, never mistake our kindness for softness...We bow to no one."

Again, I gently encourage more women to stand with sex workers. Many SWs are women who have been targeted, surveilled, stalked, abused by the criminal justice system. All things that are rapidly happening to more and more women as AI abuse increases, flock cameras are abused, ICE budgets increase.

#LaborDay reminder: labor rights are immigrant rights. Immigrants are essential to our workforce and our communities. They build our homes, grow our food, care for our families, and keep our economy moving. They deserve the same protections, dignity, and the right to organize.

The amount of our culture and history that they are destroying right now probably goes much deeper than we know because of their access.

town in Newfoundland clothed and fed thousands of Americans after 9/11 when they were stranded there today Trump has pissed them off so much that officials are calling for calm when US ambassador visits for the anniversary

As our president tries to paint Canada as an enemy during the 25th anniversary of 9/11, it might be a good time to see "Come From Away," the story of a small Canadians town embrace of Americans stuck there after the terror attack. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Af77...

Pre-tax earnings in the US have hit the highest level since the aftermath of the second world war, while workers’ slice of the pie has sunk to historic lows, fuelling discontent and a widening political backlash. ft.trib.al/ThPVQhN

HAHAHAHAHAH pays to be a bitch Bovino

Remember if you’ve ever heard a Republican claim they’re actually ok with immigration but just want all the immigrants to do it legally, they were lying

When you appoint reality TV people to the most important positions of the government running massive federal agencies, don’t be surprised when they treat the job like a reality TV show starring themselves while we pay them and the expenses.

The pearls are being clutched so hard they're turning into dust.

Apparently Brandi Kruse figures that since Donald Trump is doing it, it'll work for her: "I will be tireless in my pursuit of retribution" A truly unhinged rant... Note: Video edited, captions added in case you don't want to turn the volume on, and soundtrack added in case you do, 'cause why not?

This is especially insane when you take into account, I think, that the Omani government is known as being good partners who try to intervene for peace. Goodness gracious, I want off this ride.

Do you know what to do if you see ICE in your community? BE READY Aug 16, Aug 20 Free Training. It’s like taking CPR training: you hope you’ll never need it, but it’s good to know what to do in case of an emergency. This 1-hour basic class will show you what to do if you happen to see ICE

Tripulaciones ecuatorianas que trabajan en aguas del Pacífico han sido blanco de un misterioso grupo equipado con drones. Los ataques han sido realizados por personas que hablaban inglés con acento estadounidense. Esto es lo que sabemos.

The excesses of the Woke 1 era mostly amount to cringe public statements, harmless vocabulary updates and loss of prestige for public figures. The backlash to Woke 1, on the other hand, is imprisoning dissidents, dismantling public education and eroding democracy. That's what needs reckoning

As I do keep saying, the solution to what ails men is just feminism

I think people have been taught to interpret "preexisting condition" as "someone who decided not to take care of themselves" rather than three-quarters of the US population

Legal immigration as most Americans conceive of it does not meaningfully exist in the United States. "Just come here the right way" is one of the most pernicious lies in contemporary US politics, accepted across the aisle as the goal of the immigration debate when it's impossible in reality.

Our people’s bravery astounds me every day

Republicans in Tennessee have taken control over the Memphis airport, taken its control over its schools, taken its control over its police, sicced the military on Memphians, taken its representative in Congress, and taken its state lawmakers’ committee seats. This is the result.

@livagar.bsky.social the eugenicist couple were on the guest list for Thiels thing!!

we need more education about how the long-term punishment of Haitians is crucial to the white supremacist project a proof-point for them about why you should never rise up, how you can never be free

got mad and spent a bunch of money at a bookstore about it

Yes, do not become a theologian executed by the regime at a concentration camp after a sham trial

The thing is you gotta be obsessed with the Nazi regime to even reach for a Bonhoeffer reference here and you gotta be an incredibly twisted soul to think Bonhoeffer’s nonviolent heroism is the tragedy we can’t repeat in that story.

its another great day to eat food, urinate, breathe with mouth and nose, and strut around on this planet

Forcing immigrant detainees to work for their captors isn’t just exploitative It’s unconstitutional Trump's policies are dramatically expanding both the immigration detention population and the nation’s Thirteenth Amendment crisis ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...
