Dolly Parton was they type of Christian that Christian Nationalists only *pretend* to be.
Unlike Christian Nationalists, she didn't browbeat us with how CHRISTIAN she was. She just lived her life doing things that Jesus asked her to do, like heal the sick, help the children, and care for the poor.
SHOUT OUT to Mike Luckovich: one of the all-time great political cartoonists. ๐
With corporate media doing such a poor job in these most perilous of times, his work is more vital than ever!
THANK YOU @mluckovich.bsky.social!!! ๐
The Epstein files changed me forever.
I read them in painstaking detail over months, realizing in real time that we are not ruled by laws equally applied.
We are ruled by wealth, access, and protection networks.
America is a syndicate. Iโll never get over it, so donโt ask me to.
No one in this regime will face federal criminal accountability unless we reform the Supreme Court first. That's what folks should be running on. That should be the lesson of the Jack Smith prosecutions: it doesn't matter who the AG is.
One of the biggest lies Americans believe is their vote doesn't matter because if that was really true they wouldn't be trying to stop you from doing it
The effective federal corporate income tax rate:
1950: 50%
1990: 25%
2020: 13%
Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate.
That is how we will pay for it.
"We'll take our stand for this land & the stranger in our midst..."
Powerful. Brutal. Inspirational. A loving tribute to Renรฉe Good, Alex Pretti & the good people of Minneapolis.
Plus, it name-checks all the villains: the Puppy Killer๐ถ, Pee-Wee German๐ฉ๐ช, the Orange Atrocity๐๐ฉ & above all: ICE๐ง๐ซ

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. Itโs dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
Stay free
Van Hollen: "They really think the American people are stupid. I mean, we can all see the video. We saw the video with Renee Good. We saw the video with Alex Pretti. The real domestic terrorists are in the White House right now."
Get control of the House and Senate and impeach every single one of these criminals enabling this BS.
Then charge all of them and their ICE lackeys with treason against the Constitution.
Then take back all of the funds that they've misappropriated, and fund REAL improvements to everyone's lives.
they went to an emergency room seeking help for their 7 year old child.
ICE arrested the 7 year old and her parents.
the family is here legally.

$1.5T for the military budget
$170B for ICE and Border Patrol
$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet
$470M to send National Guard into cities
$230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation"
$200M for Kristi Noem's jets
$100M for Trump's golf outings
But no money to lower your healthcare costs.
The world is controlled by a vast right wing conspiracy of billionaire pedophiles.
Take back the power.
Prosecute them.
Put them in prison.
Seize their assets.
Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.
They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.
Don't fall for it.
Casual reminder that the myth of โpulling yourself up by your bootstrapsโ is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.
Don't ask Farage apologise. Anyone can be insincere saying "I am sorry for what I did"
Ask him to say this in public: "The Nazis were wrong. I reject bigotry in all forms and I promise that I will treat everyone with dignity and respect"
I truly doubt he'll say it.
Make him show his true colours.
Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93.
12 days of work in over 3 months.
With full pay and benefits.
The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.
It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.
Trump wants to invoke the Insurrection Act to punish anyone who opposes him, and heโs following a four point plan to do it.
Hereโs what you need to know about it โ and some thoughts on how to respond. www.youtube.com/shorts/31X8v...
Grijalva: The frustration for me is that it seems as if Speaker Johnson is not willing to swear me in because our politics are a little different, or because Iโm going to be the 218th signerโhe can just continue to drag this along with no end in sight.
That is not a foundation of our democracy.
Schiff: This is supposed to be an oversight hearing when dozens of prosecutors have been fired simply because they worked on cases investigating the former president.
Bondi: What about the fires in California? Are the riots in LA serious?
Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."
Tonight Marjorie Taylor Greene suggested she might be killed (and it made to look like a suicide) because she is calling for the Epstein files to be released. So you know, itโs all sunshine and moonbeams over in MAGA land.
It has been a really hard week for the country. However, sadly I am used to the media and country moving on quickly after gun violence happens in schools.
Time to remind the media that the EPSTEIN files still have not been released.
Why has Trump been attacking unions and workersโ rights?
He wants working people to feel helpless and divided.
Trump and his billionaire backers realize that the collective power of a unified labor movement outweighs their own power.
Know this: Workers outnumber the oligarchs.

A man was arrested in Washington, DC, on August 23 for documenting federal agents. This incident occurred at Georgia and Emerson
This incident serves as a stark reminder of the oppressive nature of the police state in. Washington, DC.
Footage from tonight at the LA Music Festival. DHS has now placed a fence around the federal building. Concertgoers expressed outrage as DHS officers watched from the garage, corners, and second floor.
