"...it is the only munition that President Joe Biden’s administration stopped sending to Israel during the Gaza war out of concern about the killing of Palestinian civilians... The policy was immediately reversed by President Donald Trump in January 2025, his first month back in office."

Trump’s planned sale of controversial bombs to Israel is largest in years

The pending transfer of the 2,000-pound munition, involved in scores of incidents resulting in civilian casualties, sets up a potential litmus test for Democrats.

Important video on the “leftist” personalities that seem really keen to help Tucker Carlson become president.

Brittany Page@brittanyepage.bsky.social · 4d ago

Tucker Carlson recently read Elon Musk's tweets on his show, marveling at how the racist conspiracies he's worked his entire life to mainstream are now promoted daily by the world's richest man. As Elon & Tucker grow their global fascist movement, they're getting a boost from eager collaborators.

Trump: "We have so much money coming in, we're just gonna give everyone $5,000 if Republicans win the midterms!" Trump 5 months ago: "We can't take care of daycare... we're a big country, we have 50 states... we have to take care of one thing! Military protection!"

Q: Do you expect Congress would need to approve the $5,000-- TRUMP: I don't know, but it's easy enough. It's $5,000 to all adults in the country, and we can easily handle that because we're taking in so much money

"When Republican lawmakers secured cuts to [SNAP] last year, Paige Shoemaker DeMio wasn't worried about children going hungry just at home — but at school. "Anytime we're hearing about cuts to SNAP or Medicaid, we're worried about what's going to be the domino effect of this."

As millions of kids lose SNAP food benefits, free school meals are also at risk

Food stamps have a direct link to other critical resources, such as free breakfast and lunch at school. Now, experts say they're starting to see that link break.

Abortion bans kill women. Abortion bans that claim to have exceptions for life-threatening health conditions or to save the life of the mother also kill women.

Ectopic Pregnancy Deaths Have Nearly Doubled. It’s Worse in States With Abortion Bans.

With prompt and appropriate medical care, experts say, people shouldn’t die from an ectopic pregnancy. Women in Texas and Oklahoma have sued over delays in care, which, coupled with our new analysis, ...

After enacting one of the strictest abortion bans in the country, Texas Republicans are now working overtime to prevent the public from seeing the extent of the preventable death and destruction they've caused with their policy choices.

The dangerous delay of Texas' maternal mortality stats

Normally the report on Texas women who died while pregnant or giving birth is released Sept. 1. This week, it’ll be after the midterm elections.

You’ve gotta use AI because it’s the future. But also it’ll take your job. But also it’ll create a paradise on earth and solve most of our problems. But also it’ll end humanity soon. But also you’ll get left behind if you don’t use it right now.

the literal position of the trump administration is that any school that has any more than a smattering of black students is engaged in illegal racial discrimination against whites www.nytimes.com/2026/09/03/b...

Trump Moves to Strip Tax Exemption From Schools That Aid Minority Students (Gift Article)

The Treasury Department released rules that would prevent schools with race-based programs from qualifying for tax-exempt status, a threat to both higher education and other private schools.

It's all bigotry all the time. We know Republicans don't actually care about antisemitism. Just look at the silence in the face of Elon Musk debating whether Jewish people are white on his social media website, which too many people in mainstream media continue to use for some inexplicable reason.

Republicans ratchet up a midterm message that raises alarm about Muslims

The rhetoric, which includes remarks from President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance, has escalated since Abdul El-Sayed won Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary.

“We are at a critical crossroads in our country where the actions of our policymakers are leaving an entire generation of Americans worse off than their parents’ generation, and student debt is a key factor in that reality." www.damemagazine.com/2026/09/02/f...

The Student Debt Crisis Needs More Than Another Repayment Plan

The student debt crisis won’t be solved by repayment plans alone. Experts say affordable college, stronger financial aid, and debt cancellation are key.

Cutting 92 polling places in one county two months before a major election is a very deliberate choice. Glad to see reporting on polling place shenanigans.

Colin Allred@colinallredtx.bsky.social · 2w ago

Tarrant County Republicans just cut 92 Election Day polling locations. Funny how the folks who talk the most about election integrity keep making it harder to actually participate in one. Texans deserve better. www.texastribune.org/2026/09/01/t...

Happy September! "What the f*** does 'ba-dee-ya' mean?' And he essentially said, 'Who the f*** cares?'" she says. "I learned my greatest lesson ever in songwriting from him, which was never let the lyric get in the way of the groove." www.npr.org/2014/09/19/3...

This reminded me of a line from @polphilpod.bsky.social's article: "If you live in a nice middle-class suburb, you don’t want to think of your neighbors as fascists who would have the state kill you if they could. Yet all the data in the world suggests at least some of them are."

Fascists Really Believe It

Millions could die because of ideas intellectually and morally equivalent to the ‘lizard people’ conspiracy theory.

The most disturbing thing about Milo Yiannopoulos' deportation is this from Homan: "A lot of people tipped ICE off,” Homan replied. “There are a lot of people who’s calling ICE." In other words, a lot of Americans are rats, finks, squealers, and Nazis. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

"He felt like he was treated like an animal." "These policies are what caused his untimely death." Pierre Damas Bel should be alive today. I'm sharing the gift link so you can read about his life. The Trump Administration must be held accountable for these endless crimes against humanity.

College student steps into highway traffic, is killed after losing TPS

Pierre Damas Bel’s family said he took his own life after the Trump administration canceled protections for thousands of Haitian immigrants and ICE officers placed him in an ankle monitor.
