They're weirdly pressing two kinds of white supremacist lies at once -- some non-white immigrants are poverty-wracked criminals who are eating our dogs and cats, but other non-white immigrants are rich elites who are buying up mansions and flying first class. Pick a fucking lane, you clowns.

📌NEWS: Pete Hegseth said that the Pentagon is eliminating 1 in 5 generals and admirals. 📌NOTE: Authoritarian regimes eliminate military leaders who they believe aren't loyal to the regime. 📌UPSHOT: This is a very concerning development in the GOP's ongoing attack on America and her Democracy.

Well, that didn't last long: "Toni Schneider, the new Bluesky CEO who bought Jay out, connection to Trump and right-wing" elk.zone/mastodon.soc...

Tweed is such a beautiful fabric to wear this time of year because it produces, in Dolly Parton's phrasing, a coat of many colors. Even a solid-colored brown is not just brown, but bits of red, blue, and yellow to produce something that looks lifted off the Scottish landscape.

BREAKING: Gov. Gavin Newsom just signed a sweeping California package cracking down on public corruption, crypto fraud, ticket scams, privacy abuses and more, including a new law barring public officials from launching meme coins.

Norway produces more oil than Venezuela. And yet, between January and August 2026, electric vehicles made up 97.8 percent of all new cars sold in that country. Moving to EVs is often based on intelligence, not need. Which is why it lags in the notoriously short-sighted and stupid United States.

This is true. In 2016, I got into an argument with a gay man on a menswear forum. I've since made it my mission to make every man dress gay, thereby destroying his ability to tell who is actually gay and, ultimately, his chances of finding love. I built my social media following to achieve that goal

Isn't it nice when there's something we can ALL agree on? #ReleaseTheUnredactedEPSTEIN-Files

‼️ FACT: Federal law bans armed civil or military officers from voting locations. However, Trump administration officials have repeatedly threatened to send armed federal agents to the polls to intimidate voters at the polls.s. Here’s how Democrats are fighting back ⬇️

Juvenile crime is on the decline in Tennessee, but officials plan to spend millions on two new youth prisons. “The argument that’s made is that [juvenile crime is] worse than ever,” said one advocate, but “the data doesn’t back that up.” with @wpln.bsky.social

“Muscular Christianity” means that when when you’re glazing the serial predator president who deports refugee children, executes fishermen, and builds idols to himself, you TYPE REALLY HARD.

Q: China is one of the most repressive countries for journalists in the world-- TRUMP: Well, I don't know about that. I think we're repressive also

Shapiro: When he sits behind the desk in the Oval Office, making $2.2 billion off his corruption for him and his kids, it costs you money. When he sits behind that desk, he’s not thinking about how to put money in your pocket. He’s thinking about how to put money in his own pocket.

You’ve got to see this. Angie Nixon’s Café Resistance is so much more than a bookstore. It’s a community hub offering FREE tutoring, a food pantry, Black history classes, mentorship, mental health workshops, music lessons, healthcare resources and more.

After 343 FDNY members made the ultimate sacrifice on 9/11, thousands more began the search for survivors. They spent months at Ground Zero searching, caring for their fellow New Yorkers and helping our city recover from this unspeakable tragedy.

For the last seven months straight, the U.S. government has refused to process immigrant visas for nationals of 75 countries around the world; including visas for spouses of U.S. citizens. Today, a federal judge ruled the policy flagrantly illegal.

Wage theft is theft. Tenant harassment is illegal. Those who defraud vulnerable New Yorkers will be held accountable. We are working with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg to share real-time information and crack down on crimes that target workers and consumers.

Considering how they lost their mind over a suit - no doubt right-wingers would be doing strict scrutiny of those words if Obama referenced the word "military" wrt to "intervention" in the Wall St.

Trump appears to be so mentally incoherent that he looks to be mixing up a Q re Wall Street w/ Iran bc he heard the word "intervention" (& this is the charitable interpretation bc the other one is he is suggesting bombing Wall St). Imagine if a Dem Prez sounded this senile (even Biden never did).

To all the people whining about any commentary on Natalie Harp: We’re paying her $150,000 salary. Trump isn’t. Perfectly legitimate to ask what job serving the public she’s doing.

The GOP took >100 days to pass a budget, but 2 days to weaken your voting rights. They’re scared of their own voters—but we aren’t. Gov. Stein vetoed HB 958, and Dems will vote to uphold that veto, because we will protect every eligible voter’s right to cast a ballot that counts.

Outside the two federal races, the Freedom Caucus far-right wing is going down in flames in Wyoming tonight. There's been a big backlash against them since they took the state house majority last cycle. Tried to defund the university, got caught taking checks literally on the floor during session.

It's scary that no one is starting Impeachment procedures when the President of the USA says he stands with North Korea. Wake up USA he will kill us all.

We are projected to spend $268 BILLION on deportations — costing the average American taxpayer about $2,358 (according to @epi.org). But somehow we “can’t afford” to make sure hungry children can eat or ensure everyone, no matter their income, can access healthcare. Priorities.

NEW: A judge has ordered the Justice Department to produce grand jury materials for review in camera (behind closed doors) in the case against Don Lemon et al to see whether there are grounds to dismiss based on alleged prosecutor misconduct. DoJ has until 8/25 s3.documentcloud.org/documents/28...

Siding with the enemy over one of our longtime allies. AGAIN. He is unquestionably an existential threat to our Democracy. #Impeach-Convict-REMOVE

Here’s a little extra crazy to go with your crazy. Trump plans to nominate Dr. Heidi Overton, a White House domestic policy official and MAHA proponent, as the next FDA commissioner. Gift link. 👇 www.nytimes.com/2026/08/18/h...

A 29-year-old mother of four was found dead hanging from a tree in Mississippi. Now her family is demanding answers. And her case is far from the only one raising alarm. Suri Crowe examines the disturbing deaths of Black Americans fueling demands for investigations, transparency, and justice.

Remember when Pam Bondi lined up 16 alleged cop assailants for trophy pictures in January? Virtually all those cases fell apart, but DOJ used those imaginary assaults to excuse spying on MN's anti-ICE community. They were fake assaults to justify spying. emptywheel.net/2026/08/18/d...

NEW: Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA) used the following words to describe data center developers today; "Predators" "Bullies" "Secretive" Shapiro signed a new state exec order tightening restrictions on data centers, requiring they get local approvals & provide their own power

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

NEWS: Angie Nixon will win the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate in Florida, defeating Alexander Vindman

Susan Collins has spent years cultivating her image as a “moderate.” Her fundraising tells a different story. A new Meidas News report reveals Collins recently attended a fundraiser hosted by MAGA mega-donors and right-wing power players.

Ken Paxton sat on the hospital board. Then he started pulling six-figure income from a cell tower on that same hospital’s grounds. Just another “coincidence.” It’s just one source of his wealth—helps explain how he could afford to buy 11 real estate properties. He’s corrupt as hell. 🤬

I'm old enough to remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.

The chances are quite good that the "number three" at DOJ who ordered Jim Comey to be illegally surveilled was Third Circuit judge Emil Bove. (He was nominated days later.) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Stop reinventing the memory of Covid. Remember the refrigerated trucks stuffed with dead bodies sitting outside overflowing hospital morgues. Remember the 1.2 million Americans who died from Covid. And remember the fools who insisted on spreading the virus without giving a damn about others.
