Finally some good news

The oligarchs are great at pitting us all against each other while they get their taxes reduced, no-bid government contracts, less rules for: hostile takeovers, worker safety, environmental protection, living wages & benefits. They get freedom. You get poverty. They're building lots of prisons.

Pre-emptive pain compliance. Police in the Bastille confiscate saline solution to flush tear gas from eyes. Reminds me of being asked to hold my left hand behind my back to make sure that when my right hand was stretched out for the strap, I could not defend myself.

That it'll fail because they lack sufficient consolidation and centralized control does not make it trivial that the president of the United States is trying to steal elections and produce an illegitimate sham Congress. It is open rebellion against the Constitution and morally tantamount to treason.

Never forget this.

Mutual aid has its place but I would infinitely rather have proper government welfare programs paid for by everyone's taxes that help people in a way that isn't reliant on how well they act desperate and needy on social media

The problem isn’t this technology or that technology, people, the problem is capitalism. The problem is authoritarianism. The problem is a system of normalised hierarchy and privilege.

Zacharia: "A lot of the misinformation, miscommunication is around the fact that I labeled myself a lawyer. I consulted for a long time many people in the field -- 'Is it ok if I label myself a lawyer?' -- and they said, 'Absolutely. You can call yourself a lawyer. You have a JD'"

If I were a Democrat in Congress I would say fifa paying Trump $4 million for an empty office “raises serious questions” but because I’m a normal American person I can just say FIFA is bribing the president of the United States

Katie Phang: "[Todd Blanche] says the Privacy Act has to be read in conjunction with the Epstein Files Transparency Act and that it's totally proper for him to hide and obfuscate and protect the identities of enablers, rapists, traffickers of children. He thinks that's fine."

I was honored to visit Our Lady Salam, the first Arabic-speaking Lutheran parish on Staten Island. Its congregants hail from as close as Hylan Blvd to as far as Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan, & Egypt — yet have planted roots in our city. Many carry the weight of war and genocide daily.

Hegseth and Trump are planning to fire more top military employees. As they prepare more attacks to destroy America.

Trump says a war is not a war, therefore the War Powers Act doesn’t apply. Trump says political ads are not ads they are “public service announcements,” therefore the laws banning the use of taxpayer $ don’t apply. The gangster govt changes the meaning of words to avoid the law

They’re about two weeks away from telling people they can always eat bugs

Inexplicable

It seems like it should be a much bigger deal that Trump just completely fabricated a “deal” that he supposedly brokered between Putin and Zelenskyy to stop bombing energy infrastructure when both Russia and Ukraine denied it and never stopped bombing.

We need to boldly and relentlessly speak important truths.

Our government has become so corrupt that there's nobody left to investigate the corruption

I used to train law enforcement officers to spot violence before it starts. The reliable tell was never posture or hands. It was grievance… …the instant a man casts himself as the victim. He's not attacking anymore. He's “defending.” That's when it goes bad. Now…look at our president.

It's a scandal that the president of the United States is out of his damn mind. It's also a scandal that major news media aren't telling you that, loudly and often.

BASH: Gas prices Labor Day weekend are the highest on record. Isn't it possible gas prices could go up even more? CHRIS WRIGHT: I don't want to have an opinion on that BASH: As the energy secretary, shouldn't you have an opinion? WRIGHT: If I had to guess, they are more likely to go down than up

Remember that time Mitch McConnell died and they just pretended he didn’t so they could keep collecting checks? Should make for a quirky HBO comedy someday.
