Today we got access to a smoking gun document from ICE that shows how it is weaponized against progressive groups registering voters while building a voter suppression database.

@npr.org wow listening to all things considered ask a *woman* how *sororities* and the parents of *girls* might protect college women from predation like the Cornell 57. What a massive fail on your part.

I lived thru the end of public smoking. Early in my career I presented to city councils who were smoking, in front of audiences who were smoking. Smoking in restaurants, airplanes, hospitals… All of that seems insane now, but it was very controversial when we DID change it. We CAN change things.

It’s crazy that people used to be able to just smoke cigarettes wherever they wanted

Asked Claude: what’s the best defense against a false flag operation to shore up a corrupt Administration? Answer: The goal is stalling irreversible action. 1. Demand multiple independent sources before accepting the story. 2….

4. Keep the burden of proof on the claim, especially if it conveniently justifies what the administration already wanted. 5. Check whether you believe it because of evidence or tribal loyalty.

2. Be suspicious if legislation or war powers are ready within days — that suggests the outcome was pre-decided. 3. Preserve evidence and records now, before they can be altered. …

It is clear that Democrats are set to sweep control of Congress in free and fair elections. It is also clear that Trump and the GOP are working to make sure the elections are not free and fair. I founded Democracy Docket to help you stay informed to fight back. demdock.com/4w6emld

I thank him for his service

Trump's hand-picked Fed Chair has announced he will raise interest rates in an effort to counter high inflation amid Trump's tariffs and war in Iran. This is the first rate hike since 2023.

This is how it’s gonna get done

The video of this is genuinely unsettling. He literally appears to have no idea what the journalist is talking about when she mentions January 6—even when she clarifies that she is talking about 2021 and about the rioters at the Capitol that day. He looks at her blankly. Scary.

STOP SCROLLING Why I’m sounding the alarm: VoteSafe. org is run by Elon Musk’s America PAC, the same political operation working to turn out Republican voters in the midterms. The site collects voter and political info, and allows your information to be shared or sold to business partners.

Thousands of immigrants did the hard, dirty work of clearing rubble and toxic dust and debris from Ground Zero. Many were undocumented laborers sent to work every day with no special PPE, and got cancer as a result. Now some of those same people are living in fear of ICE. www.npr.org/2026/09/11/n...

npr.orgThey cleaned up ground zero. Now many are hiding from ICEAfter 9/11, thousands of rescue and cleanup crews went to work at ground zero. They were exposed to toxic debris and experienced psychological trauma. Today, many say they live in fear of deportation.

I wonder how that’s gonna play out for Directors and Officers 2 years from now?

It’s corruption on steroids in plain sight. He doesn’t even try to hide that he’s looting US and cashing in on insider trading. He’s the most corrupt president in American history.

What Dolly taught us is that it is in fact possible to be wealthy beyond your wildest dreams of avarice but still be a fundamentally good person with a strong moral compass, and the only reason more rich people aren't like that is because they don't want to be.

This had never occurred to me because all my life I believed most people given the same circumstances would do what their worst enemy does today. That everybody deserves opportunity and not everybody is born into it. That the greatest achievement possible is to make a world where everyone succeeds.

For some reason it never occurred to me til today that maybe the mindset of people who support this is: Life is a competitive ladder among groups and you’re either on top or bottom. Whoever’s group is on top social- and financial outcomes-wise figured out how to win. Eff those who didn’t. Gross.

Spot on. They may try to fiddle with things in close races like under 2% margin of victory. But if the margin of victory is big enough they can’t fiddle with it enough to steal the election.
