Thursday GNR: The Resistance is Not a Hoax [1]
['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

MAGA is. The iDJiT-in-Chief is. The entire maladministration is. That’s why these losers are losing. Bigly. Remember, if we had actually lost to the Fascisti, nobody would be able to say so. One of our superpowers is co-operation. To them, The Evolution of Cooperation is and will remain a closed book, bound in chains of their ignorance and cupidity.
Some things just have to be said over and over.
And likewise for education, Medicare for All, Universal Basic Income, immigration rights, ending poverty, DEI, science, and all the rest. They not only benefit every American, but everyone in the world, including the plants and animals. Have you heard about hammer-wielding volunteers restoring kelp forests by smashing sea urchins, or bringing back sea otters to eat them?
Rabidly Repellent Republicans Rushing to Ruin/Bad News for Them

Resistance rules!
Epstein victims saying that they are not a hoax to their oppressors was yesterday. It’s going to stay out there. BBC, MSNBC, CNN all carried the whole event live.
No, this is not an NBC exclusive. Numerous Epstein/Maxwell victims were on Capitol Hill yesterday when this was announced and covered live by the BBC, MSNBC, CNN, and Youtube. NBC didn’t do that.
x A victim of convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein has revealed how a group of survivors is compiling a client list of their own.

Do you follow DK’s Brainwrap on Bluesky?
You know, if The Thing that Ate the GOP actually wanted to do something about crime, there is plenty of low-hanging fruit, even fruit lying on the ground rotting because they won’t let us pick it up.
x @cnn.com Canada is the second highest to the US for handgun deaths. 95% of illegal handguns in Canada are sourced from the US. It is the gun access. — Chris Tyrell (@raisencain.bsky.social) August 27, 2025 at 2:54 PM
x “The number of guns appears to be directly related to the number of gun deaths in America... For every 100 Americans, the US has 120 guns... There are many extenuating circumstances that lead to gun deaths in the US. Let’s start with the easy one: guns." www.vox.com/policy-and-p... #Guns #News

x guess what the difference is between these countries and the US resulting in their number of gun deaths

x Agreed. Gun deaths for children may soon drop to second place to death from vaccine preventable infections in ranking causes of death for children. Not because of a decrease in gun deaths but a significant increase in preventable deaths from infectious diseases. The US is failing to protect kids. — Michael Hooper MD (@troutdoc69.bsky.social) August 29, 2025 at 9:04 PM
Regular Good News
These sources nearly all carry bad news as well as the good. I won’t exclude any of them for that reason. I did drop Yes! Media when they went out of business, and I am considering letting go of
The Happy News @thehappynewspaper.bsky.social
202 followers 1 following 1 post 📰✨ A real newspaper celebrating only wonderful, positive news. Published every 3 months. But maybe not. Every three months they put out a number of items on Instagram, which I would only be able to share here by uploading the graphics to the DK Image Library, or typing the text in here, as I did yesterday. I’ll think about it some more.
Chop Wood, Carry Water/Jessica Craven—The haters are trying to give us the worst of bad news.
But 😡😡 we don’t have to take it any more. 😡😡
x An ICE detainee in Los Angeles needs legal assistance. He’s been kidnapped for two months and ICE is refusing to release him even after a judge said they should. Please help with legal fees if you can. I vouch for this one. gofund.me/32f5dda6

x Streak-headed Woodcreeper (Lepidocolaptes souleyetii)
12 April 2025. Tayutic Bridge, Cartago, Costa Rica. Woodcreepers are a unique group of Neotropical bark gleaners. They have strong feet and long pointed tails for hitching themselves up tree trunks, similar to woodpeckers. #Birds

x Sometimes it takes a fleet of spacecraft to do great science. Or at least two. Here both SPHEREx and JWST are observing 3I/Atlas, the interstellar comet. Both telescopes find a carbon dioxide dominated cometary coma, which is cool. #planetsci www.skyatnightmagazine.com/news/3i-atla...

That would be “elusive” brown dwarfs, minimal stars that can fuse deuterium but not create more of it from protons. They fission any lithium they contain in about 100 million years. They aren’t that strange, or that rare. There are thought to be 10s of billions of them in our galaxy, of which a few thousand have been observed.
