In case you’ve only seen the edited version

Photo shows the Spain football team getting ready to pose for their victory photo, at left, while Donald Trump stands at right and FIFA president Giovanni Infantino tugs forcibly on Trump’s arm. No one on the team is looking at Trump, who has an idiotic smile on his face and is looking directly at the camera. Text below the photo: “Trump steps all over World Cup winner’s moment as Infantino tries to usher him away”

Great empires require open borders and free trade. Always have. (Text from Nomads, by Anthony Sattin, 2022.)

Text in image: Harun knew that the vast wealth and glittering inspiration of the Islamic golden age came not from the safety offered by walls and borders, but by people being in motion and allowed to move freely across an empire that stretched from al-Andalus to Central Asia.

Second, I want to know the details of his past errors at the hospital where he removed a patient’s liver instead of spleen. The NYT article says the doctor “erroneously removed part of another patient’s pancreas instead of an adrenal gland in 2023.” 5/n

Text in image: The Health Department had sanctioned Dr. Shaknovsky before, finding that he erroneously removed part of another patient’s pancreas instead of an adrenal gland in 2023. Dr. Shaknovsky said at the time that the adrenal gland “migrated” to another part of the patient’s body, the documents say. State records show that Dr. Shaknovsky paid $400,000 to settle a medical malpractice claim in that case.

I had to look up this Kansas mandate that invalidated more than 1,000 people’s legitimate driver licenses instantly. Could the reports be true? They are true.

Text in image: Affected Kansans were informed that their licenses would become meaningless pieces of plastic with letters that went out from the Kansas Division of Vehicles this week. “Please note that the legislature did not include a grace period for updating credentials,” it read. “This means that once the law is officially enacted, your current credential will be invalid immediately.”

Here’s a good nf book you might have missed. It’s about adat. The author trained as an anthropologist but later went into philosophy instead.

Check out this part especially.

Text in image: Trump appears to confuse Greenland and Iceland

Trump mentioned Iceland several times in Davos, but he appeared to have confused it with its Arctic neighbor, Greenland.
“On Iceland, that I can tell you, our stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland,” Trump said. “So Iceland has already cost us a lot of money, but that dip is peanuts compared to what it's gone up, and we have an unbelievable future.”
In recent weeks, Trump has been talking about acquiring Greenland, a semi-autonomous part of Denmark [continues]

Gerald Ford replaced Spiro Agnew as VP — another Republican crook you might not be familiar with — and it’s interesting to read what brought about his downfall back then.

Text in image: In 1973, Agnew was investigated by the United States Attorney for the District of Maryland on suspicion of criminal conspiracy, bribery, extortion, and tax fraud. Agnew took kickbacks from contractors during his time as Baltimore county executive and governor of Maryland. The payments had continued into his time as vice president, but had nothing to do with the Watergate scandal, in which he was not implicated. After months of maintaining his innocence, Agnew pleaded no contest to a single felony charge of tax evasion and resigned from office. Nixon replaced him with House Republican leader Gerald Ford. Agnew spent the remainder of his life quietly, rarely making public appearances and blaming Zionists for forcing him out of office.

For the youth out there who have never heard of Gerald Ford:

Text in image: Gerald Ford's tenure as the 38th president of the United States began on August 9, 1974, upon the resignation of President Richard Nixon, and ended on January 20, 1977. Ford, a Republican from Michigan, had been appointed vice president on December 6, 1973, following the resignation of Spiro Agnew from that office. Ford was the only person to serve as president without being elected to either the presidency or the vice presidency. His presidency ended following his narrow defeat in the 1976 presidential election to Democrat Jimmy Carter, after a period of 895 days in office. His 895-day presidency remains the shortest of all U.S. presidents who did not die in office.

The Republicans have no one else to prop up in the top office, so they rally behind a pedophile with worsening dementia? (quote from HCR, 11-13)

Text in image: MAGA has been at least partly demoralized by the information coming out of the Epstein documents, with right-wing influencer Dinesh D’Souza, for example, defending Trump by saying: “Right now, we don’t have anyone else.” Trump media ally Stephen Bannon told supporters: “Trump’s…an imperfect instrument, but one infused by divine providence. Without him, we’d have nothing.”

"I have 218 votes for the discharge petition to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files."

Two photos and a screenshot of a social media post by @RepThomasMassie, U.S. Representative for Kentucky. Massie is a Republican. The post says: "The government is shutdown, but the House refuses to go back in session. Why are we in recess? Because the day we go back into session, I have 218 votes for the discharge petition to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files. @SpeakerJohnson doesn't want that to be the news." These words are highlighted in yellow: "I have 218 votes for the discharge petition to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files." One photo shows Massie speaking in public, surrounded by reporters who are recording him. The other photo shows the chamber of the House, with all seats empty.

Friend if mine in WA is native American, she was shoping for plants at a hardware store, got pi ked up? Told she was an immigrant, and she had to prove her citizenship. Showed her tribal ID and was told that it was not a real thing and tribes don't do ID. Held her for about two weeks before she says she was just let go, no warning, no court, just dropped off about 5 hours away from home and told to not do it again. (No explanation of what it was)

She shared the conditions were horrible, the food was worst quality then high-school, the beds were a literal army cot, and they just all got used to the bugs everywhere. She didn't know where she was held, they intentionally drove her away from the town by over an hour before they released her.

In all that time no one knew where she was, friends and family called and were told she was in the system but we couldn't be told where or who to call, and there was never a chance to provide evidence she was a civilian.

Friends Dad got taken during a quick grocery run in L.A. Didn’t know what happened to him for 3 weeks, but on the 4th week he got a call from his dad who was being held in a New Mexico center. Son sent him money for the commissary and tried to hire a lawyer to get him help, but 2 days after that call, his father was moved to a new detention center in Colorado, then moved again to one in Mississippi. In Mississippi, he was forced to sign a document he didn’t understand and moved once again. Haven’t been able to locate his dad since-it’s been 4 months.

Last night’s HCR post details our continuing descent into the horror-world of Orwell’s 1984. heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/september-...

Text in image: “The refusal of Republican lawmakers to challenge MAGA’s creation of its own reality has opened the way for believers to try to put that world into place through violence. Their victory would end the rule of law on which the United States was founded and base the government on the whims of an authoritarian cabal.”
