Pennsylvania has an important Supreme Court race coming up on Tuesday, November 4. If you live in the Keystone State, or know someone who does, vote YES to retain three justices who will protect your fundamental rights and freedoms.

There are many important policy issues to repair/implement at what point democracy & the Constitution return -- but I'm pondering the possibility of implementing a national holiday, "No Kings Day." It could be Election Day - or, the Great Cheato's birthday? Petty says the latter ...

Needs must, for altars. I have attended Mass in the back of a pick-up truck and in more than one living room, using a small folding table.

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu." Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States.

Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

Wyoming congressional delegation wants to override BLM coal lease ban - WyoFile Unusual use of the Congressional Review Act, also being deployed in some other states, disregards years of public input, critics say.

Gov. Mark Gordon and the Campbell County Board of Commissioners cheered news that Sens. Lummis and Barrasso and Rep. Hageman will try to reverse the outcome of a public process with the Congressional Review Act. wyofile.com/wyoming-cong...

found exactly the one use of “evil recoils in the presence of Christ” I am willing to sign off on, HOOOOOOOOLY SHIT

Father Larry did not come here to fuck around

My theory on this is that it's a perk for their troops. They (ICE) will get paid to watch the Superbowl for free, because the NFL will absolutely let it happen.

Things to consider:

Document the violence & violations--on camera, w/photos, saving images--any way you can. Speaking as a historian- it will matter

Point out violations--w/images & text--even if you think it won't matter. It will. It needs to be called out & exposed

You are a witness.
Expose it.

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed

student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism

teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

A. This is something Faux understands, that's why they're cynically airing old footage they know misleads their viewers & VIP viewer.

B. So, the solution is to set up a phony network he can stream all the time, drooling & believing that all is going the way he wants it.

Realizing that the endpoint here is probably massively scaling back screening for autism spectrum disorders, limiting resources for people who need them, but leading to a decline in cases & declaration of victory.

"If we stopped testing right now, we'd have very few cases, if any."

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

Alright, so I've been afraid to say this out loud, but I think after today, I can say it: In the first Battle of Los Angeles, the good people of LA County have prevailed. We beat ICE back. 1/

Let's be clear what this image represents.

Those skull masks were first popularized on the far right by a very specific Nazi terror movement that began on the pro-terror Ironmarch forums and entered mainstream news with the Atomwaffen Nazi terrorist murders.

THAT is the reference here.

THIS thread, in its entirety.

And yes, the "wedgers" need to drop their wedge and get in with the rest of us, if they want to solve our problems with us.

Politicians who act like America has been/is "great" rely on the fact that most Americans barely leave their own state, let alone visit other countries.

Our politicians (esp those in control in DC now) are spending $$ that could have gone to infrastructure like this, on concentration camps.

On RFK, Jr's testimony today and it's spot-on.

This #LaborDay, if you know someone in the #Construction industry, tell them about @afspnational.bsky.social's suicide prevention programming (free!) for the construction industry. Virtual trainings on Sept 9, 10, & 11th this year - info here: talk-saves-lives-construction-9-8-9-12.attendease.com

I had been hoping, until we learned of his prostate cancer diagnosis, that Biden would live as long as his mother lived, just to spite all the MAGAts who thought HE was too old.

From what I've read, it's possible his cancer treatments could still make his situation manageable for quite some time.

Unbelievable. As someone with relatives & friends who work on fire crews, & as a Westerner, this is crazy. The ICE agents had no business anywhere near a fire crew working to control a fire - even one that was "contained," let alone this one.

FDA OKs updated COVID vaccines but places limits for kids, adults

OK, maybe I'm wrong, but if Moderna = only approved for children under 5 w/ a "serious health condition," that means that even at-risk kids won't going to be able to access it? If that's true, the decision to remove the EUA for Pfizer under 5 is really heinous.

We have a new little baby in our extended family & between this & measles, it sounds like she is going to have a very secluded first year of life, in the interests of keeping her safe while she's most vulnerable.

A friend has a child with mitochondrial disorder. Given that it took three years for doctors to figure out what was going on, it's amazing that RFK Jr thinks he can do it just by looking at them.

Once again wondering if any journalists have any interest in tracking down either the Speaker of the House or the Senate Majority Leader & asking them what they think about the PresIdent proclaiming he is a Dictator, unconstrained by Congress, the law, or the Constitution.

Trump often lies about Chicago, using a great American city as a punching bag to entertain out-of-town racists who are scared of Black and Latino Chicagoans whom they’ve never met. He’s threatening a military occupation. Here’s a thread about Chicago, Trump and crime. 1/

FOR OBVIOUS REASONS, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE UP TO DATE ON YOUR VACCINATIONS NOW.

If an older relative acted like him/this, most American families would ensure that s/he was no longer making any binding decisions - hand him the baby's "car keys" to distract him & get him medical care.

"Yes, grandpa, that's nice, eat your pudding & then we'll take care of that."
