About 70% of the U.S. economy runs on consumer spending. But as wealth concentrates at the top, the richest 10% can’t spend enough to sustain it — while everyone else can’t afford to. Reminder that trickle-down economics simply doesn’t make sense. It’s a hoax.

Just three weeks ago, the Trump administration was sending deportation flights to Iran; sending people back there from the US. Now he wants to be the asylum saviour for Iranians. There is no human life he won’t exploit for his political or personal benefit.

Trump announced on Friday that there will be no deal with Iran “except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!” What the hell does this mean? What will Trump demand of Iran for its “unconditional surrender?” https://robertreich.substack.com/p/office-hours-whats-unconditional

Chicago, you showed *up* for Matt Johnson & Jay McCarrol, and they have not forgotten it! We're touched by their kind words on the We're Watching What? podcast🥰 NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW THE MOVIE is Now Playing at the Music Box🎶 Showtimes & Tickets: musicboxtheatre.com/films-and-ev...

Remember how appalled we all were in 2022 when Russia completely unprovoked attacked Ukraine? That is what we’re doing tonight with Venezuela. We are the bad guys here. Everyone who supports this is supporting unprovoked murder. Fuck every last one of them

There will be many consequences of Trump’s bombing of Iran. Gravest amongst them is that the war crime of the 21st century - currently unfolding in Gaza - will continue to be erased from the airwaves. Historically shameful.

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

Our current Director of National Intelligence:

AOC: Being taken is wrong, it is illegal, it is a violation of his First Amendment rights, it is an affront to every American, and we will not allow—and will continue to resist—the politicization and the continued political persecution that ICE is engaged in.

It is my actual dream to work with the @dropout.tv team. This Network has healed me in ways I'll never be able to express. So screw it. I'm taking a shot. Are you happy with your subscription based billing? Also, everyone go watch the new Game Changer!

Pretty much everything this guy does that isn’t currently a crime needs to become a crime

It’s unreal - the DOD deleted its page for Charles Calvin Rodgers, a Medal of Honor recipient who was wounded three times while defending against three assaults on his base in Vietnam. Now the URL includes “DEI Medal of Honor.” There’s something about Rodgers I don’t even have to tell you

If you are not in fear for your rights and safety, you are privileged. If you don't care about the rights and safety of others who are not you because you're not affected, you're selfish. If you're happy with the hate and violence against others because they're not like you, you're a monster.

US farmers sold $2 billion of food to USAID. Not any more. - US farmers provided 41% of food delivered by USAID - $340M of purchases/shipments are now paused. Over 680,000 tonnes. - Food stranded in Houston - Aid stopped in transit. The world’s poor starving, food rotting & US farmers screwed.

It's literally impossible to run the National Weather Service without talking to foreign partners. For example, the National Hurricane Center in Miami shares data with other nations in the Caribbean constantly to forecast storms. Everyone benefits. Weather doesn't stop at the borders.

President Trump promised voters he wouldn’t waste precious American lives and taxpayer dollars on far-off wars and nation building. But just weeks into his second term, he's laid out plans to “take over” Gaza, reclaim the Panama Canal and buy Greenland.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

President Trump renewed his threat to impose 25% tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada as early as this weekend. The move could raise prices on everything from gasoline to guacamole.

hey question, is this bad?

Donald Trump fired hundreds of air safety leaders and froze hiring for air traffic controllers. Elon forced the director of the FAA out with no replacement. And a week later, 67 people are dead in the worst commercial aircraft disaster in 16 years.

ME: *sits at desk and works* Just focus. Just focus. Don't look around. Do NOT look around. THE NEWS:

BREAKING NEWS: A State House committee in Idaho overwhelmingly passed a resolution calling on the Supreme Court to overturn the right to Same-sex Marriage in the U.S.
