The things I want to say about student protests in Serbia and student protests here...I'd be downvoted into oblivion.

Why is @cnn.com covering every Trump rally but not every Democratic rally? Oh, never mind. We know.

El-Sayed: "We had a little debate. Or I had a debate and he just pointed at me and said, 'He's Muslim.'"

⚠️ An investigator left the Effingham County, Georgia sheriff's office in 2021. Nobody turned off his access to Flock. Five years later, he used it 60 times to track his wife. This mass surveillance system isn't only unconstitutional, it also has terribly slack security. Fuck Flock.

I'm sure all those who blamed Biden for the Palestine Ohio train derailment and accident will be blaming Trump for this chemical accident in Ohio today. Right? Right?

Bobby Jindal’s ‘America Next’ PAC offered College Republicans $200 each to travel to El-Sayed’s town hall in Flint to boo him & ask inflammatory questions. Tommy’s father, Timmy Teepell, received $250K for influencer marketing opposing El-Sayed. Paid protesters www.michigandaily.com/news/governm...

I saw a video and heard someone yell cuidado. What are the odds it was a MAGA Karen upset that brown people were on the field. Her field. Her Kansas.

Watching The Diplomat and seeing a major character get shot and it makes me so sad because I like the character and the person who plays the character. Sad that I wouldn't feel that way in real life. It's come to that.

The most corrupt and unethical president in US history by far.

REMINDER: Rep. Ilhan Omar came to US in 1995 when she was 12 with family as part of asylum program. She became a US Citizen in 2000 at 17. She got married 9 years LATER on Feb. 12, 2009 at 26 years old. She did NOT marry her brother or anyone to become a citizen. She ALREADY was a citizen!

All those people who bought all those WWJD bracelets all those years ago, I'm begging you to please look at your wrist and think for a second. Because it's......not this

Saw a great quote online. Ok, then I guess Luigi gets to write an essay. We wouldn't want to ruin his promising life. He has a lot of potential.

Why is the President even going to a Tennessee - Texas football game? What is the purpose. What am I missing?

From 16,000 to 185 to Zero. The Trump admin claimed as many as 16,000 noncitizens had been registered to vote in Nevada. Then DHS came back and said the number was actually 185. This week, Nevada told the admin every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.

Cattlemen and ranchers voting for the party who support ICE are now deeply concerned that they have lost their employees. Boo hoo.

Watching the 1953 adaptation of Julius Caesar and all I can think is now THAT's a Senate.

Watching these interest rates go up, I'm so glad I didn't get an ARM when we bought our house. That being said, when I was a kid, mortgage rates were 16%, so even though houses were way cheaper, you ended up paying a lot for them.

So apparently MBS is mad at 🍊 for not doing enough about the Houthis. Hmm. I have an idea for MBS. And he has experience with it.

All 29% of them need to be raptured. Now.

Funny how CNN is banned from the White House, yet it is perfectly content to have representatives from this administration come on air and lie through to their teeth in defense of White House policies. Here's a tip: talk shit about them but don't allow them to spread their lies.

You do understand that everything he's doing to Washington DC is about fortifying the city when he decides he's not leaving office

Where's the investigative journalism around the #KennedyCenter. All I've seen is "there's a fence up" or "there's a Hands around the Center on Friday" Thanks transcription. Not journalism. Where are the interviews with current employees who can state that the Center is not in disrepair?

Someone close to him needs to make the sacrifice and save the country. They will be a national hero.

Totally forgot about this but when you look at it from this perspective, it's really effed up.

It's not a real political party, folks It just isn't

But i thought they didn't have any missiles? No army. No navy. No air force. Huh. www.defensenews.com/flashpoints/...

It's never gonna happen, but what does $5,000 to "every adult American" mean? Green card holders? Welfare recipients? 18 year olds? The disabled? That 5k will violate the whole "you can only have 2,000 in your bank account at any given moment" Seniors who don't make enough to file taxes?

I swear to God, if they serve Flavor Aid at the end of this convention it will all be worth it

Get ready with me 🤗

Someone just do it

Football season has started which means Americans will forget about "football" until next year when the Women's World Cup happens. So much for that bump hosting the men's World Cup was supposed to give. It was a nice distraction, but was never gonna change things.

Trying to cut the cord but impossible to find decent news coverage. Usually NBC and ABC have decent streaming. But not on weekends. CNN is playing breaking news from the Lindsay Clancy trial that has been declared a mistrial. BBC news is good but half the episodes are Spotlight on Tech

Watching a documentary about the passage of the ADA (mostly the work put in by activists to get it passed) and it's absolutely sickening to know that it would never get passed today. Not by Trump. Not by Vance. Not with Cruz, Hawley, Paul, and Tuberville in office. Expect repeal efforts in fact.

I generally despise NBC Nightly News with Tom Llamas (tonight with Jose Diaz Balart) but you have to love the juxtaposition of a story about high gas prices for Labor Day followed by a story about the US accidentally bombing an Iranian oil tanker. Yeah, that'll help!

Today I had the unfortunate thought of wondering "is Andrew Sullivan still alive? I haven't heard about him in years? If he's alive, he's irrelevant. If he's dead, I don't remember him passing and it didn't register" Anyway, he's alive. Irrelevant but still a dick apparently. Damn libertarianism

US Open: we want you influencers to make some viral content Influencers: does what influencers do US Open: oh no, not like that!

All these people discovering MapQuest. They did the same with the Gulf of Mexico brouhaha. And you're just NOW downloading MapQuest? You've been using Google maps and Apple maps since then? Knowing they capitulated?

The PoS from Celebrity Traitors US somehow showed up in my FB posting, as one would guess, a shitty post. I'm like how did you end up in my feed. I KNOW I am not looking for this type of content. Reported the content for being a scam and blocked.

Not Trump being so dumb that he doesn't realize that the three things that could hurt his base most are increased prices on potash, lumber, and new cars.
