In case facts still matter — we have abandoned Ukraine in favor of Putin Russia was never a hoax

Stand with Zelensky and against Putin. Stand with Pope Leo XIV and against ICE. Stand with No Kings and against Meta. Stand with the people and against the oligarchs. Stand with liberal democracy and against Trump.

NEW: The leader of the UK Liberal Democrats, Sir Ed Davey:

Lance Bottoms: “The price of caskets has gone up. Donald Trump is wreaking havoc for the living and the dead.”

Of course Trump scoffs at warnings about AI. The billionaire class feels untouchable - by global warming (keep pumping that oil!), the growing number of homeless (unless they're in the way), the increasing number of hungry. They can't conceive of anything they can't buy their way out of. 1/

They removed CD/DVD drives from PCs. -Made physical media harder to buy and use. -Removed expandable storage from phones. -Pushed us into streaming subscriptions. -Made always-online normal. -Made unlimited internet necessary. -Slowly raised the price of everything. Ownership quietly became renting.

Mmmm so wonderful

We live in a country where some of the best journalists are late night comedians & editorial cartoonists. THANK YOU Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, John Oliver, Jimmy Fallon, Tom Tomorrow, Mike Luckovich & Michael de Adder ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! #LAUGH_DO_NOT_DESPAIR ✊

Not great if you don't want to live with nonstop barking or putbulls on the hall

This dog must have an amazing sense of humor. Original post

Happy John Brown’s Birthday to all who celebrate.

This shitstain refused to vote for Kamala because ... she was the same as trump. It's in his wikipedia folks

Great, were gonna be stuck with Steyer or porter.

Golly gee whillickers, who could have seen this coming? Hint: "Last year, Philz was purchased by private equity firm Freeman Spogli & Co.". www.sfchronicle.com/food/restaur... Loved their coffee. Past tense. Oh well.

Tiny compensation, but I'll take what I can get: if Trump gets us blown off the face of the earth, I'll never have to plow through his words - and dear god, that voice! - to prep an hour of radio again. Never ever. It's something, anyway.

I hope someone publishes a list of every journalist who attends so that they can be publicly humiliated for the rest of their careers. It’s the only way this disgusting little club will ever learn their lesson

Christ preached forgiveness, mercy, and peace. A guy who beats his girlfriends and has four gin-and-tonics before breakfast says we should kill for Jesus in Iran. For busy church-goers, it’s hard to know who to believe.

Journalistic malpractice and democratic betrayal.

How long before Trump blames the entire war on Israel?

“How a Christian college ministry glorified a sex offender and enabled him to keep abusing students *** Daniel Savala urged generations of Chi Alpha members to get naked in his Houston sauna. Why did Assemblies of God pastors keep bringing teenagers to his home?” By Mike Hixenbaugh, 8/4/25

In most democracies Trump’s reckless and wild abuse of power through his tariffs would cause the government to fall or the leader to be removed. The imposition of these harmful tariffs against the will of Congress, the courts, our allies, and our people are clear grounds for his removal.

Think of how bad things must be for a Supreme Court Justice to feel he has to explain why it's a good idea to have laws enacted by legislators instead of decreed by wannabe dictators

How bad is the bruise on his hand today that they had to lower the lighting?

The SAVE Act was never going to pass the Senate, but passage was never the point. This piece lays out the real strategy: throw a barrage of voter suppression moves against the wall—all of which are designed to sow fear, suppress turnout, and muddy the midterms—and see what sticks.

Biden would’ve been instantly impeached in a bipartisan vote if he put his face on the freakin’ Department of Justice building

Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans

MAGA is never going to beat mainstream culture when it comes to music, so they should start counter-programming with things that play to their strengths. A webinar about reducing the amount of child support you have to pay,, something like that.

1. Thomas Massey, Republican from Kentucky, just did an interview where he said, on camera, that the director of the FBI threatened to investigate one of his staffers for fraud if Massey did not stop pushing for the disclosure of the Epstein files.

“The f*ck are we doing?”

"That's just not true, as you well know" -- Sen. Chris Coons is a bit taken aback after CNBC's Joe Kernen pushes the great replacement theory during an interview

From the former Poet Laureate of #Northfield #Minnesota (reportedly).

Yale prof David Gelernter defends his letter urging Epstein to hire "v small goodlooking blonde" student by saying that he was "keep[ing] the potential boss's habits in mind." This creep shouldn't be allowed anywhere near students. yaledailynews.com/articles/gel...

So you won the House, the Senate, and the Presidency. You stacked the courts, the DOJ, HHS, the FBI, and everything else with loyalists. But you think you should be allowed total control of elections to make sure it's not "rigged". "Make America Stupid Again" because smart people dont like you. 🙄

Garcia: I want to remind the American public of Stephen Miller. There's probably no single person in this government that has done more damage and more harm to people across this country than this man right here. It's our job to hold him responsible

If you're rich you get a tax cut, if you're not you have to work longer and harder. Populism! bsky.app/profile/atru...

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

live your life in such a way that you aren’t defending kidnapping a 5-year-old

ICE detained a 2-year-old girl in Minneapolis and put the child on a flight to a detention center in Texas, despite a court ordering her release: www.startribune.com/agents-detai...

We had endless articles and TV clips about Biden's mental capacity but silence about Trump's obvious unfitness when he says he's going to start a war with Denmark over Greenland because he didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize.

My god. There is no bottom. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

“Racy”

UNARMED WOMAN: “Shame on you.” ICE GOON: “Have you not learned from the past few days?” UNARMED WOMAN: “Learned what? What’s our lesson?” ICE GOON: *VIOLENTLY SNATCHES HER PHONE* (H/T @Mollyploofkins)

You can’t import another country’s vaccine policy without first importing their actual healthcare system. Our vaccine recommendations fill structural gaps in our healthcare system, which is widely regarded as fragmented, inaccessible to many, and riven with inequalities.
