Reading Parable of the Talents now by Octavia E Butler. Found this passage relevant to our times. Actually this entire book is relevant to our dystopian reality. #booksky #booktok

"The Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion." --The Treaty of Tripoli, unanimously ratified by Congress on June 7, 1797

Insane. Actually insane. Let’s make his money this year a waste, shall we?

Mike Rogers is a corporate sellout who moves back to Michigan every few years to run for office to take another swing at the revolving door of corporate politics.

texans, you are going to see this clip once a week and twice on sundays until the election

Save the date! No Kings is October 17th. And don’t forget to vote early! 🗳️

“Remember, the Constitution doesn’t begin with, ‘I, the president.’ It begins with, ‘We, the people.’ ” Gloria Steinem

“The general strike…is of itself the weapon of revolution, all the more dangerous because quiet. To succeed, it must suspend everything; stop the entire stream of a community… it puts the government out of operation. And that is all there is of revolt, no matter how achieved.” #generalstrike

Seems like this should be a bigger deal. 🤷🏼 www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

As if I couldn’t hate the orange felon more than I already do, over 60 trees which include historic Cherry Blossom trees were quietly cut down recently in Washington DC without court approval. I’ll never forgive anyone who supports this monstrous hateful destructive criminal.

In a country so deeply divided, isn't it nice to have something we can ALL agree on? #ReleaseTheFiles-BeginTheTrials ⚖️

Hey Jared Polis, who paid you? What was their kompromat?

“A single-payer universal health care system could cover every American, save more than 100,000 lives a year, and still cost $1 trillion less than the system it would replace, according to a new preprint study led by researchers at the Yale School of Public Health.” ysph.yale.edu/news-article...

CAUGHT ON CAMERA: Vivek Ramaswamy claims he “never once” said he was pro-data center expansion. We have the receipts.

Lynching of Black people in the south has increased since racism took the escalator in 2016 to announce his bid for dictatorship

Sickening

Bill Nye breaks down the Science of Skin Color and shows why Racism is Ridiculous.

"I can't wait to sit across from RFKjr & actually, grill him. Dude uses big words he does not understand. I happen to have gone to medical school, so I kind of understand them. I'm a guy w/ an MD and degree in public health. He's a guy who takes his kids swimming in Schitt's Creek." Abdul- El-Sayed

I’ll never be able to accept that my country, after watching the live streamed genocide and mass destruction of Gaza, not only sided with the oppressors, but were ever allies or trading partners with fascist Israel. One day if I ever meet Palestinians, I’d be embarrassed explaining Canada’s role.

When they conclude she committed suicide, understand she most certainly did not.

Israeli occupiers on Sunday cut electricity to a Palestinian town in the occupied West Bank by attacking power infrastructure, while the Israeli army arrested five Palestinians during raids across several areas. Read: www.middleeastmonitor.com/20260802-isr...

Don’t let this clip get memory-holed

Hating Netanyahu and hating genocide is not one bit anti-semitic.

A mother gave the government her fingerprints, tax records, and DNA to get her 6-year-old daughter back. She did everything officials asked. ICE used that information to find and arrest her. A child welfare system became a deportation tool. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Do you know what China's been doing while we've been dropping bombs and allocating more money for new weapons? Beating us on alternative energy, manufacturing, high speed rail, technology, microchips, and infrastructure.

🚨 NEW: A $121,617 home renovation invoice used by Ken Paxton’s defense during his impeachment trial was dated September 1, 2020. But the file’s metadata shows it was actually created a month later, on a VERY significant date. We obtained the invoice. Here’s what we found:

U.S. activist facing ‘entirely unprecedented’ charges after phone wiped during airport search. Canadians are advised not to bring their primary phone to the United States. #cdnpoli www.ctvnews.ca/sci-tech/art...

Should be a bigger story— “Alexandra Bravo, prosecutor investigating 🇺🇸 strikes on 3 Ecuadorian boats and survivor accounts of torture/kidnapping, shot dead… hitman on a black motorcycle opened fire… Bravo’s sister jumped to protect her, also killed…” www.dropsitenews.com/p/prosecutor...

Dead or alive, Mitch McConnell is on extended medical leave — on your dime. This is the same Mitch McConnell who voted against: paid family and medical leave for everyone else.

As Measles cases hit a 35 year high, as a senseless war rages on with no exit plan, as gas climbs to record highs, and the Epstein files remain secret, the U.S. Senate is holding a hearing today to yell at Dr. Fauci and again push horse dewormer on the American public.

The LA Dodgers gifted a personalized jersey & commemorative World Series ring to a five-time draft dodger and two-time fake president who just happens to be withholding $34 billion in California fire relief funds and $2.16 billion in California Medicaid funding. The Dodgers can go fuck themselves.

Time for Dems to play hardball and replace McConnell. He certainly would have done so

THREAD: The boy is called a liar. He’s told not to defend himself. Then the private school owner encourages all of his peers to attack him, one by one. She hits him, repeatedly, with a plastic pipe-like object. How does this school still exist — and receive state funds? 🧵

Quote of the day: “I am his lawyer.” ~ Todd Blanche, Attorney General nominee

This is Susan Collins giving the most feckless response to ICE killings possible. She mastered the art of saying almost nothing while people are dying. The only proper response to the killing of Joan Sebastian Guerrero is outrage. VOTE HER OUT

...and the award for most impressive celebrity at The World Cup goes to Javier Bardem.

Rachel Maddow’s description of Juan Sebastian Guerrero killed by ICE in Maine is a must see. She explains what happened w/out being graphic, and somehow that makes it even more powerful. Remember Alex, Pretti, and Renée? There have been no prosecutions. Still no justice. We know how this goes.

This week is going to be stupid. Next week will be worse, and the week after that even worse..., and then we will have elections. The days after that, it'll be so bad that we will miss these days.

The reason why ICE agents continue to shoot people is because nothing ever happens to them when they do. They essentially have been granted full immunity for whatever they choose to do to people by a lawless regime of thugs.
