The layered attacks on Black folks by Donald Trump has deepened the economic inequities facing Black communities. But the consequences reverberate far beyond us. This @naturbanleague.bsky.social report affirms what we know to be true: this harm is coming for everyone.

Just a random reminder that immigrants are good for society and good for the economy.

Why oh why does it take a 10 month old puppy forever to find just right spot to poop? Especially when it’s raining.

So many stupid white republicans. They are way past their useful date.

Again, I'd say that Anthony Fauci needs to leave the United States. These fuckers won't stop until they publicly execute him. thehill.com/homenews/sta...

Republicans, never let reality interfere with their need for saggy, old, orange ass kissing. This bastard kills children.

RFK Jr: Trump wanted to end lockdowns. In Fauci's diary, he talks about how the president was calling him trying to get him to reopen the country BASH: The lockdowns were down by governors K: They cited Fauci B: Govs were hearing from hospitals that their ICUs were overrun K: That's not true

Let republicans die from their own stupidity. It will be a blessing for humanity and the world. Journalists should stop relying on any republican for valid information and start publishing information sources from more developed nations that believe in science.

BASH: How do you prepare for next pandemic? RFK Jr: We did almost everything wrong B: But what about now? K: We need to protect our rights B: ? K: During covid we dismantled our rights B: But I'm asking what *to* do K: You were part of the problem B: You want to sit here and attack me?

RFK Jr: We had the highest death rate from covid of any nation on earth BASH: That's not accurate RFK Jr: What I said was accurate BASH: There are other countries that had higher RFK Jr: When Fauci was mismanaging the pandemic, he was doing it under the Biden administration

The evil and cruelty that republicans have unleashed on the world cannot ever be forgotten or be swept under the rug without accountability.

Cuba’s humanitarian crisis is the latest episode in a 128-year struggle for control over the island.

This Day in Labor History: August 2, 1917. The Green Corn Rebellion breaks out in Oklahoma against American participation in World War I. Let's talk about rural socialist farmers rising up against a war they believed only helped the capitalists. Literally impossible to imagine this today!

I see people prefer the "Max Miller is blackmailing Bernie Moreno" theory to "Bernie Moreno, like most Republican men, thinks it's okay to assault his daughter" theory. I don't think that's true. Moreno's proclivities are known. GOP voters don't care. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Assault, misogyny, verbal threats: Records detail new allegations against Rep. Max Miller

Police reports and filings in a bitter custody dispute raise new questions about the conduct of an Ohio Republican as he campaigns for a third term.

Remember the story from July 19 that FBI had been told they would no longer investigate the crimes that DHS commits? NYT included a pic of Renee Good's car, but didn't say this was about Good. Turns out that happened just after Mary Moriarty got evidence on both the Good and Pretti shootings.

Which also claims that CRITICS said there was no case when the court record proves it.

Another example of the problem with the fixation with Trump’s putative emotions: here a story about the Trump administration’s corruption, incompetence, and venality is framed as one about Trump’s “wrath.” www.nytimes.com/2026/08/01/u...

Republicans and Billionaires do love their criminals.

Elon Musk planning to throw financial support behind Susan Collins’ U.S. Senate bid

They tried to throw an Olympian, who trained and competed for his country, in prison to cover for the wannabe king who destroyed a national treasure with a corrupt deal with one of his cronies. This is why you don’t tell them “welcome home” or vote for their nominees or vote to fund their govt.

I stopped buying it years ago but I’ll never ever again accept “we just can’t” from a Democrat or hold my tongue criticizing them over doing maximum effort to help this country. If you’re soft on the fascists you’re effectively an ally of the fascists.

It is “funny” that there are bums who wake up every morning and think to themselves, “i want nothing more than to simp for the pedo slaver aristocracy of the antebellum south”
