What’s the problem?? Republicans have been telling us that we’re all safer when everyone is carrying a gun or two. So why is an armed guy suddenly a problem??

Gee…why don’t I believe any of these stories any more?!?🤔 Oh, yeah…because they’re bullshit.

This would amount to a complete capitulation from the US. Literally no way to even attempt to spin this as a win.

LA Times: Trump finds a new way to screw Medicare members — hiking their drug bills. Mehmet Oz is canceling the Part D Premium Stabilization Demonstration, potentially doubling monthly drug costs for 11 million seniors. I'm now one of those seniors! 😠 #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

A civilian medical plane went down after an experimental US military GPS jamming test reportedly disrupted its radar. Every person aboard lost their life. www.yahoo.com/news/us/arti...

Thank goodness Obama chose the Opus Dei option instead of the single payer healthcare he promised, leaving us with co-pays, hospital bills, prescription bills, denials of care, medical bankruptcies, and desperate family’s GoFundMe pages for cancer, while insurance companies profits are skyrocketing!

The Heritage Foundation is run by Opus Dei Catholics Kevin Roberts and Roger Severino. More than 50% of the 100 orgs behind Project 2025 were funded by Opus Dei affiliated Leonard Leo. Miss the faith driven politics and you miss the story. jesspiper.substack.com/p/give-them-...

Well, to be perfectly fair, neither one of these politicians actually did any work anyway. They simply vote as they’re told by their corporate masters.

If you had a shit in the hallway of Congress after trying to kill a guard, you may be entitled to compensation.

A disappointing decision. A federal judge reluctantly dismissed the remaining criminal charges against eight Oath Keepers charged with seditious conspiracy in the Jan. 6 attack after the Justice Department requested the case be thrown out.

In the 1950s we had 700 different chemicals in our food Today we have over 10,000 in our food In Europe, they only have 700 still today. Kelloggs makes the safer Canadian version and the American version. Two different options, same manufacturer. Americans have been sold out sadly.

Why is it not front page news on every major media outlet that the United States commander in chief had hundreds of his bank accounts frozen for money laundering??????

Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.

NEWS: Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-NC) just dropped out of his re-election race at 3:32 a.m.m. He said he’s done running but will finish out his term. This after the House Ethics Committee found “substantial reason to believe [he] violated House Rules related to sexual harassment and hostile workplaces.”

Imagine a technique that can heal Britain of division and keep out the hard right. I call it ‘radical listening’ | George Monbiot

In my constituency, a group of volunteers chats with people – most of whom find they are to the left of their voting intentions, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

theguardian.com

Over the last few weeks I’ve been out on high streets in Bristol testing the deep listening approach described in Monbiot’s article. Here’s a short blog describing why this matters and what I’ve found: www.bridgesforcommunities.com/2026/08/05/s...

Streets are made for talking: so that's what we did - Bridges For Communities

We’ve been trying something new at Bridges. Popping up on high streets and town centres in Bristol to talk to people about community life and the issues that are impacting […]

If you aren't angry then you aren't paying attention.

It’s official: @abdulelsayed.bsky.social wins the Democratic Primary for Senate! The People Prevail Over Corporate Profits Once Again!

EVERY economic system is born, evolves, and dies. Tribalism, slavery, feudalism — they were all born, they evolved, and eventually they died out. Capitalism will too.
