“THIS IS WAR”: Some right-wing figures call for retribution following Kirk killing “More people will be murdered if the Left isn’t crushed with the power of the state.”

We documented some of the calls for retribution that followed Charlie Kirk’s murder. With @kieraevebutler.bsky.social and @juliannemcshane.bsky.social www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

Good! Keep 'em coming!

Rep. Nicole Collier files a state court application for a writ of habeas corpus concerning her detention in the Texas State Capitol. https://www.courthousenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/texas-democrat-collier-habeas-corpus-petition.pdf

Chris Murphy: "Let's just look at the numbers. In Washington DC and all across the country, crime was going up during Donald Trump's first term, and when Joe Biden became president, crime started to go down ... he's just trying to distract from the stories he doesn't want Americans to talk about."

Just btw, as much as I've been saying Trump's "deal" & words are worthless, same applies to Putin.

Let's just pretend there's some "great deal" that sounds just spiffy.

Does ANYone believe Putin would stick to it?

Trump wants his hotel, his Nobel, and Putin's approval.

Putin wants Ukraine

Crow: "Look at what happened. US military personnel in uniform literally were on hands & knees rolling out a red carpet for the most murderous dictator of the 21st century...we keep on acting like Putin deserves to be brought out in open like any of head of state. This is a historic embarrassment."

South Park kicked off Season 27 by putting Donald Trump in bed with Satan.

Trump is going to lose his mind.😆

"The issue of government has always been whether individual men and women will have to serve some system of government and economics, or whether a system of government and economics exists to serve individual men and women." 

—FDR, 1932

Many US liberals would prefer to forget, but the straightforward truth is that Biden and the Democrats deliberately enabled the uncontrolled spread of Covid-19 between 2021 and 2024, recklessly causing huge amounts of illness and mortality.

#COVID19

In 2022 the children in the US started with something like a 30-40% rate of having had COVID and by fall, thanks to Biden forcing schools to go IRL, it was well over 100% because so many children got it 2X that year. Biden’s response: cutting isolation to 5 days because CEO of Delta told him to.

If only we had warned folks before the election that the real plan wasn’t border security…it was mass deportation in the interior, federalizing the National Guard, ripping people out of homes, families, jobs, and schools.

Oh wait…we did.

This segment with the author of 2025 aired one year ago.

The chapter of RFK’s most recent book - that he wrote to defend his belief that COVID was actually a weapon designed to target white people and spare certain groups like Jewish people - in which he talks about how he does not believe germs actually cause disease is called “The White Man’s Burden.”

Judge Blocks Trump’s Tying of Transportation Funds to Immigration Enforcement

Yet another Friday victory: a federal judge blocked the Department of Transportation from withholding billions of dollars in funding to states unless they complied with the Trump regime’s demands on immigration enforcement.

Do you know what is more upsetting? I can go to the BBC and read an article quoting the other victims, verbatim. The news establishments in this country are failing us.

Something is happening in India. 🇮🇳

In Rajouri, a mysterious illness has struck again, sending shockwaves through the community.

So far, 35 people have been hospitalized, all showing symptoms of a waterborne disease.

Wells have been sealed off as a precaution.

RFK Jr. ousts entire CDC vaccine advisory committee Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has removed every member of a scientific committee that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on how to use vaccines.

RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process.

So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel.

Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

Guns are the leading cause of death in the United States for people under 18. Dr. Jeremy Faust, an emergency room doctor at Massachusetts General Brigham Hospital in Boston, who was the study's lead author, said he was dismayed to find that most of the children's deaths were homicides and suicides. "It's surprising how few of these are accidents," Dr. Faust said. "I always thought that a lot of pediatric mortality from guns is that somebody got into the wrong place, and I still think safe storage is important, but it's mostly homicides and suicides."

DONNIE, DROP YOUR ILLEGAL ORDERS IN OUR STATE

We need our National Guard to ready and protect us from wildfires among many other good works they do.

🎯 Cross cutting traditional social cleavages (bridging social capital) in service of shared values, which in turn makes the society/community harder to divide and conquer. That’s why.

PRESCRIPTION AGAINST TEAR GAS:

1 - A traffic cone is placed over the tear gas canister to contain the smoke and limit its spread.

2- Water is poured through the hole at the top of the traffic cone to cool down the canister and extinguish the pyrotechnic device, stopping the gas production.

Elon Musk is now trying to claim he doesn’t do drugs. Here’s our response @nytimes.com

Jewish organizers are increasingly confronting Trump: ‘The repression is growing, but so is the resistance’ As the administration continues to exploit antisemitism to arrest protesters and curb academic freedoms, more American Jews are saying ‘not in my name’

Jewish Americans are increasingly opposing the genocide in Gaza and Trump using false claims of antisemitism to suppress dissent.

There’s still a battle ahead, but some good news!

This is on Trump, Rubio, Musk: these men have blood on their hands.

Arresting judges.

Threatening allies.

Lying about trade deals.

Trying to sell campaign merch from the White House.

Floating a 2028 run.

Deranged. Dangerous. Undemocratic.

We must retake our democracy.
