Thank you @marcelias.bsky.social and @eliaslawgroup.bsky.social for your hard work on this and other legal challenges from this bogus administration www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Come on, People!! We can turn the tables on this regime!!

Life was already hard enough before Donald Trump lied us into war, before his tariffs made everything more expensive, and before he doubled your health insurance premiums and slashed Medicaid.

Repeat after me: Russia has no legitimate security concerns; only its neighbours do. Russia has been the only one invading others.

His bigotry is so innate and baked in that he doesn't even see it.

www.bbc.com/news/live/cq... Good on ya, Canada!

"Trump to speak to Putin about plague lab worker's death in Russia" Does anyone have any confidence in a useful outcome after this severely damaged human being speaks to anyone?

TY Goddess!! 💙 @firestormz1.bsky.social @kenzie35.bsky.social @ladybug014.bsky.social @bandroll.bsky.social @skyyblue6.bsky.social @allie-froglegs.bsky.social @annettebeebe.bsky.social @moberzan.bsky.social @chaserbaybe.bsky.social @bluestormcomin1.bsky.social

Rene Good’s brother: “What happened to America. The time is absolutely now for accountability for the deep damage done by ICE and others. We will not be quiet. We will not go away.” BE GOOD!!!!!

bbc.com/news/article... Serious questions: Does our society feel better after all this? Did it help the victim or her family? Does it elevate Tennessee or the U.S. in the eyes of the world?

💔🕯️No Justice No peace.

GOP has run TX for 30Yrs-the Result⁉️ An affordability crisis w/stagnent wages & bottom rankings in healthcare & school funding It’s time for change & put Regular Folks 1st instead of the Rich 🗳️ Gina Hinojosa for TX Gov to fix the system & help working Families Thrive #VoteBlue ⬆️ ⬇️ #DemsUnited

📌I like AP, but my God, WHEN are we going to stop with the “false and misleading claims” crap, and start calling the projectile vomit that comes out of Trump’s dirty mouth: LIES? New Headline: Trump Lied Repeatedly in Front of UN General Assembly

Through the end of August 2026, the House was in session for roughly 383 hours total. That’s an average of about 48 hours per month. Their average monthly floor time is well below the 80-hour monthly threshold the same Congress imposed on Medicaid recipients.

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... How will we ever regain trust in a government that puts power over children's lives and the nation's health in the hands of an egomaniacal quack? How will the world ever trust us again?

New in PN: Retire in peace "McConnell would never be allowed to drive a car, babysit young children, or file his own taxes. Why, then, should a cognitively incapacitated 82-year-old retain one of the most important positions of power within the national government?"

Thank you, Representative Beatty. You are an outstanding hero of our time.

The poster child for Profiles in Cowardice and one of his masters. Coward and Degenerate.

Dear @mark-carney.bsky.social, we want to bring the relationship with Canada to the highest level possible. I would like to work with you on opening the door for Canada to being the first associate member of the EU. And create a common prosperity and economic security space.

www.theguardian.com/world/2026/s... Well begun, Canada! Hats off to the EU. My country has earned disgrace while losing trust and opportunity.

Be the type of human that *doesn't* make this face after being told genocide is amoral.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. Big Tech buys off Congress. No action on AI safety. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

With respect to CBS football game ads for 60 Minutes premiere: I will never watch 60 Minutes again.

While the world staggers under the consequences caused by ceding power to an Incompetent, Sociopathic Felon, Lake Ontario still brings us peace and inspiration.

I absolutely LOVE this. Christian Bale spent roughly 17 years fighting to make this happen. This week, his foster-care village opened in Palmdale, California: 12 homes built specifically to help keep siblings together when they enter foster care.

Burns.

Last week, Danbury area residents showed up in huge numbers to draw the line on the brutal ICE tactics being used there - including traumatizing kids at school bus stops. It's action like this that saves our democracy.

Today, I was proud to join New Yorkers for the 9/11 Day of Service at the Intrepid Museum. September 11th is a day we remember the terror and loss our city endured. It is also a day we remember the extraordinary courage, kindness and generosity New Yorkers showed one another.

We overcame one Gilded Age and we can overcome this one. Time for a new square deal like TR’s 3 C’s: Corporate control, Consumer protection and Conservation of natural resources. Happy Labor Day.

This cartoon was created by Pulitzer Prize winning artist Adam Zyglis for The Buffalo News in November, 2024. It hits even harder now.

Well done! #USDemocracy

Love, love, love this. ht: @scottlincicome.bsky.social

This iconic 1971 photo of Gloria Steinem and Dorothy Pitman Hughes has always said so much without saying a word. Two women. Two raised fists. One shared fight for equality. Dorothy passed in 2022. Now Gloria is gone too. Two giants who helped change America. Rest in power, Gloria. ✊🏼✊🏾

🌹That's my kick-ass aunt, Congresswoman Louise Slaughter, with the great Gloria Steinem a few years ago ... These amazing women are both gone now, at a time we've never needed them more. They were role models for me, and will always be a reminder that women are far superior to men. They just are.

ANALYSIS: 'Lake America' makes one thing clear: we can’t trust U.S. tech companies The president’s decree is dumb. Why is anyone going along with it?
