“Your body is keeping score.”

"Your body is keeping score." "Every infection is another round of damage. Another hit to your blood vessels. Another chance for the virus to set up shop in your organs. Another spin of the wheel to see if this is the one that gives you diabetes, or ruins your heart, or breaks your brain." "You're not building immunity. You're accumulating injury."

ACLU - CONOCE TUS DERECHOS -
SI AGENTES DEL ICE LLEGAN A
TU PUERTA w alt text
SI AGENTES DEL ICE LLEGAN A TU PUERTA 1. No abras la puerta, pero mantén la calma. Tú tienes derechos. 2. Pregunta para qué están ahí (y solicita un intérprete si necesitas uno). 3. Si piden entrar a tu casa, pregúntales si tienen una orden firmada por un juez y si la tienen, diles que te la muestren (por la ventana o que la pasen por debajo de la puerta). 4. Si ellos no tienen una orden firmada por un juez, puedes negarte dejarlos entrar. Pídeles que dejen cualquier información en tu puerta. 5. Si entran a la fuerza, no te resistas. Dile a todos que estén en la casa que permanezcan en silencio. 6. Si eres arrestado, permanece en silencio y no firmes nada hasta que hables con un abogado. CONOCE TUS DERECHOS ACLU

ACLU - KNOW YOUR RIGHTS - IF ICE AGENTS SHOW UP AT YOUR DOOR w alt text
IF ICE AGENTS SHOW UP AT YOUR DOOR 1. You do not have to open the door. If you do, stay calm-you have rights. 2. Ask what they are there for (and ask for an interpreter if you need one). 3. If they ask to enter, ask if they have a warrant signed by a judge and if so, ask to see it (through a window or slipped under the door). 4. If they do not have a warrant signed by a judge, you may refuse to let them in. Ask them to leave any information at your door. 5. If they force their way in, do not resist. Tell everyone in the residence to remain silent. 6. If you are arrested, you have the right to remain silent. Do not sign anything until you speak with a lawyer. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS ACLU

Screencap of a Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski post screencapping a Nightingale Associates @FCNightingale post on X These kinds of things happened two decades ago under the last Republican president. A lot of people made a lot of short term money. Then it all came crashing down and his successor had to clean up a huge mess. Here we go again. Nightingale Associates @FCNightingale: Fannie Mae set to drop its 620 credit score minimum. Mortgage giant will instead use its own analysis of risk factors. Officials say they're easing barriers to borrowing. "It's just the latest in a series of policy changes aimed at creating home ownership opportunities in the United States." -homes.com #RealEstate

Just a reminder, because I think we legitimately forget sometimes: Nazis weren't just the guys who ushered people into the gas chambers. They weren't just the politicians signing the orders to invade other countries, or the generals ordering their troops to execute civilians. Nazis were also the people who joined the party because it was the social thing to do. They were the people who looked the other way when their Jewish neighbors were hauled off. They were the actors who put their careers above the lives of others in order to take roles in propaganda films. They were the civilians who asked "But what do we do about the Jewish problem?" and expected a legitimate answer. THOSE PEOPLE WERE NAZIS TOO. So when I say you're acting like a Nazi, I'm not saying you're the one throwing the switch on the gas chambers or pulling the trigger on a gun. I'm saying you are legitimizing and supporting a political ideology which harms other people, and history will prove you wrong. Other 98 logo in lower right corner

A message added at top of the USDA Food and Nutrition Service U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE webpage reads: Senate Democrats have now voted 12 times to not fund the food stamp program, also known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Bottom line, the well has run dry. At this time, there will be no benefits issued November Q1. We are approaching an inflection point for Senate Democrats. They can continue to hold out for healthcare for illegal aliens and gender mutilation procedures or reopen the government so mothers, babies, and the most vulnerable among us can receive critical nutrition assistance.

I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and IUs further slide into Fscist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town. Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming. Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted

BE AWARE - Especially at No Kings Undercover ICE, far right influencers, and agitators have been spotted at other protests. Mike Johnson has already started the narrative that the No Kings protest is a "terrorist" event. They WILL be trying to provoke violence. Whatever you do, do NOT take the bait. Do not let others take the bait. Stay peaceful, stay on message. If you are interviewed, repeat the most unifying talking points. Do NOT lean into "antifa" labels. It is not a real organization. Don't let their lies become real. Don't let it become a label. Stick to saying the whole thing: We are against fascism and violations of the constitution.

Powerful video. Series of protesters holding coordinated signs that say This Is Fascism with each listing one element. Each protester/sign is revealed one-by-one as person filming walks the sidewalk.

The list is looooong:
This Is Fascism Using Secret Police Denying Reality With Constant Lies Controlling Media Normalizing Corruption Rejecting Election Results Controlling Education Using Military on Civilians Appointing Incompetent Loyalists Rewriting History Ignoring Due Process Labeling Minorities as Enemies Using Fear to Gain Power Replacing Science With Ideology Accusing Others of Your Crimes Pardoning Criminal Loyalists Normalizing Political Violence Suppressing the Vote Erasing and Faking Government Data This Is Fascism

lewishamilton✔️21 Std. @ Übersetzung anzeigen The situation in Gaza is getting worse by the day. In the past two years, more than 10% of the population has been killed or wounded - including tens of thousands of children - and that number only continues to rise. The latest incursion on Gaza City has forced hundreds of thousands of people from their homes, with hospitals across the strip already overwhelmed with those suffering from famine, and casualties of the bombing that never seems to end. Today, a UN commission of enquiry described what is happening in Gaza as a genocide. As human beings, we cannot stand by and let this continue to happen.

WA Governor Bob Ferguson’s letter to Pam Bondi with ALT text:
Page 1: STATE OF WASHINGTON OFFICE OF GOVERNOR BOB FERGUSON August 19, 2025 Pamela Bondi Attorney General 950 Pennsylvania Ave. NW Washington, D.C. 20530 Dear Attorney General Bondi: I am in receipt of your letter dated August 13, 2025, which purports to notify me that Washington State "has been identified" as a "so-called sanctuary jurisdiction"— on grounds that your letter makes no effort whatsoever to explain. You refer to unidentified "policies and practices" within Washington State that violate federal law-again, without any explanation. You baselessly invoke federal obstruction, conspiracy, and harboring statutes that carry criminal penalties with prison time. You even threaten that state officials "operating under the color of law, using their official position to obstruct federal immigration enforcement efforts and facilitating or inducing illegal immigration may be subject to criminal charges." You are hereby notified that Washington State will not be bullied or intimidated by threats and legally baseless accusations. In the America that I love and have taught my children to revere, we resolve our differences peacefully through public discourse and, if necessary, through the courts not by threatening political opponents with imprisonment. You take a different approach. You threaten me, police officers, state troopers, sheriffs, judges, and other officials with prison time. Why? Because our state legislature passed a bipartisan law that appropriately and lawfully limits the diversion of our state and local resources to federal immigration enforcement. Your threat to criminally prosecute state officials embarrasses and disgraces the office of the United States Attorney General. Washington State is proud to be a welcoming community that values immigrants' and refugees' contributions to our economy and our cultural fabric. We do so while accounting for and complying with applicable federal law. If you really believe Washington State is in conflict with controlling federal law, you would make some effort to explain that. You did not, because you cannot. In 2017, I was the first state attorney general to challenge President Trump's efforts to trample our Constitution in court, and I was the first attorney general to defeat him. I, along with my team at the Washington Attorney General's Office, went on to defeat the first Trump Administration 55 times. We were unsuccessful in just three cases. Given that history, I am prepared to defend Washington from any litigation you wish to pursue. If you choose to challenge me and my state, be advised that we will defeat you and seek all appropriate costs and fees. You seem to believe that cavalierly threatening criminal prosecution will result in me compromising the values of my state. Never. You seek to have Washington State bend the knee to a Trump Administration that, day by day, drags us closer to authoritarianism. Never. I am not intimidated by you or the President. I will defend our democracy, the rule of law, and the people of my state. Always. Sincerely, Bob Ferguson

Picture of Jamie Raskin, U.S. House Rep from MD, including his quote from an 8/11/25 appearance on CNN’s The Arena with Kasie Hunt: I'M HAPPY THAT HE ACKNOWLEDGES HE HAS THE POWER TO ACTIVATE THE NATIONAL GUARD. THAT WAS WHAT HE REFUSED TO DO FOUR AND A HALF YEARS AGO WHEN THE CAPITOL AND HIS OWN VP WERE UNDER ATTACK BY THE MOB VIOLENCE HE UNLEASHED AGAINST US. THAT WAS A REAL EMERGENCY. THIS IS NOT A REAL EMERGENCY. THIS LOOKS TO ME LIKE AN EMERGENCY, WHICH IS MANUFACTURED BECAUSE OF A PUBLIC RELATIONS CRISIS RELATING TO THE EPSTEIN FILE. HE DOESN'T WANT TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILE.

Screenshot of posts from The Tennessee Holler and a Jaxie Pidgeon @WKRN repost. Includes a TV image of Blackburn with a newscaster from News 2 ABC. TV caption reads SEN. BLACKBURN'S AGENDA 7:09 AM 8/11/25 TN Holler If Marsha won't sit for an interview, should she have her agenda amplified for her like this, with zero pushback or questioning? In the same interview y'all pull clips from here, she says she won't debate. Maybe mention that to your viewers? Please consider your role, @WKRN Jaxie Pidgeon NEW: We're hearing from Sen. Marsha Blackburn about her campaign to become the next governor of Tennessee. She's vying for a chance to replace Gov. Bill Lee, who is term-limited. @WKRN TN Holler Q for media invited to @MarshaBlackburn's closed door gaggle in MEMPHIS today — are y'all gonna let her dictate what you ask? Or will you ask about the harmful bill she backed? Epstein files? Her refusal to debate? Etc. Stop playing her game. And pls post the full video.

Media who are writing about the Jeffrey Epstein case, please watch for these words: "Underage woman" - There is no such thing. An underage woman is a child. "Child Prostitute" - Children can NOT consent. They are rape victims, sexual assault victims, or survivors. "Sex with [minors, underage women, or etcetera.]" — It's rape. Call it rape. "Non-consensual sex" is polite weasel-wording for "rape," and rapists do NOT deserve your politeness. Their victims deserve validation of what they have been through. Thank you. At bottom: “Underage women” crossed out in red and replaced with “Children.”

”Sunday's killings were the latest in a string of deadly shootings targeting hungry people. At least 1,400 people have been killed while seeking aid since 27 May.”

#FreePalestine #StopGenocide #BDS
Excerpt from The Guardian Israeli forces kill at least 27 at food site while minister’s al-Aqsa visit causes outrage August 3, 2025 Sunday's killings were the latest in a string of deadly shootings targeting hungry people. At least 1,400 people have been killed while seeking aid since 27 May, most of whom were killed near GHF sites, while others were killed along the routes of aid convoys, the UN said on Friday. The GHF says it only uses pepper spray or fires warning shots to control crowds. In total, 119 people were killed in Gaza by Israeli shootings and strikes over the last 24 hours, including those seeking aid, the Gaza health ministry said. Excerpt from The Guardian Israeli forces kill at least 27 at food site while minister’s al-Aqsa visit causes outrage August 3, 2025 Six people have died of starvation or malnutrition in the past 24 hours, health officials said, bringing the total number who have died from hunger to 175, 93 of whom were children. The pace of starvation deaths surged in July with more people dying from hunger than in the previous 20 months combined. Humanitarians say a far greater amount of aid needs to enter Gaza to help stabilise the starvation emergency.
