Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

Mike Johnson has given the house a very very very very very very very very very long vacation because he’s worried about the Epstein files

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”

It’s about control.

‘Dehumanizing’: Inside the Broadview ICE facility where immigrants sleep on cold concrete An investigation by the Chicago Tribune found that immigration detainees have been held for days at the processing center in west suburban Broadview.

ICE is committing crimes against humanity. And they’re doing it in our community.

Shut the Broadview facility down. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/08/03/d...

WTF America.

“Every political movement in history, including the most bloodthirsty, has condemned political violence by its opponents. The only real test is whether you also oppose political violence by your allies. This is a test Trump has repeatedly failed.”

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.

This is not a joke. This is not normal.

Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

The last passenger pigeon died 111 years ago today and not a day goes by that I don't think about how their flocks numbered in the *billions*, that their roosts covered 100+ square miles, that they collapsed trees with their nests. America is incomplete without them

Alt text: Screenshot of a news excerpt quoting U.S. Rep. Brandon Gill. The text says he described “transgenderism” as a “disease” and condemned what he called predators pushing it onto children. A block quote follows: “Transgenderism is not only a disease, it’s a dark distortion of natural order and God-ordained gender,” Gill told The Dallas Express. He continued, “This woke, weird ideology is mutilating children and being shoved down their throats by predators in education and media. Those who further entrap the young and vulnerable should face consequences.”

A sitting US congressmen is openly saying this about trans people.

This Labor Day, never forget: the sitting President said we have "too many non-working holidays."

Happy Labor Day, workers.✊

Perfection.

Average life expectancy of the US versus other rich nations. We spend more and live shorter.

It just absolutely blows that RFK Jr. looked at this and said, no that’s not bad enough, we can do worse

I arrived as an EPA contractor to relieve my colleagues months after Katrina hit. Everyday we saw the failures at all levels of government. There isn’t a few days that go by that I don’t think about my short time there. From the bottom of my heart, fuck Trump and fuck this administration.

Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."

In Middleton, NY.

This guy probably saved his neighbors from Trump's masked thugs.

This is how you firmly assert your rights and stand up for our communities.

Glacial lake flood hits Juneau, Alaska, reflecting a growing risk as mountain glaciers melt around the world Suicide Basin, an ice-dammed lake on an arm of Mendenhall Glacier, has filled up with meltwater and sent destructive surges of water into Juneau for 3 straight summers.

For the 3rd straight year, Alaska’s “Suicide Basin” is overflowing an ice dam, sending water from melting glaciers rushing towards Juneau.

An explanation of the rising risks of floods in mountain areas:

Will be hard to explain in the future that the US government went antivax, causing a lot of avoidable suffering and death, not in response to any negative incident with vaccines, but to the biggest, fastest, most successful, most impressive vaccine rollout in history.

TRUMP: DC POLICE NOW ABLE TO DO "WHATEVER THE HELL THEY WANT"

what could possibly go wrong?

Remember when Vice President Harris bought a few quality cooking items at a French cookery store with her own money and legacy media melted down?

J.D. Vance literally used the Army Corps of Engineers to manipulate a public waterway, so he’d have an easier time kayaking and it’s a blip on the radar.

I know nobody under 30 will believe me, but this is the sort of scandal that ended careers, back in the before-times. Congressional hearings, weeks worth of Nightline reports, the whole works. The press _lived_ for this stuff.

ICE crackdown imperils Afghans who aided U.S. war effort, lawyers say Advocates fear President Donald Trump’s ambitious deportation plan jeopardizes Afghan interpreters and other allies who worked for U.S. troops during the war.

Republicans’ deafening silence on the ongoing deportation of Afghan interpreters and allies who risked their lives for the U.S. reveals the true depth of their betrayal. This is not just a policy failure — it’s a moral failure and a disgrace.

Man, it's just so gross that we're governed by these wackos who live in an alternative universe.

Ending Crime and Disorder on America's Streets By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1.  Purpose and

This is an executive order that lays the groundwork for sending homeless people and people with mental illness to concentration camps to be "civilly committed." It was never going to stop with immigrants.

This is horrifying beyond words.

Andre the Giant has a posse.

CBS cancels Colbert as media continues to turn Trumpward It's not just bending the knee. It's also oligarchic solidarity.

"Execs at CBS’s parent company Paramount may have dumped Colbert not to appease Trump, but to join with him. There’s ample evidence that billionaires genuinely, sincerely like Trump’s vision of authoritarian rule by billionaire, and want to do their part to crush dissent and discipline the proles."

There’s no way that was only a week

You’ll notice ICE Gestapo never detain the owners of businesses who hire the hard working undocumented workers that the orange felon wants to terrorize on an hourly basis. Funny how that works.
