The U.S. government historically has had bigly success meddling in Cuba.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

I hope that all of you have a joyous holiday season surrounded by your family and loved ones*. *Except for ICE. I hope no one talks to you or gives you a present and that you accidentally shit your pants while everyone tells you to go fuck yourself at the grocery store.

Everyone realizes that people are routinely tortured in U.S. prisons, right?

“I miss blockbuster video” the library has every dvd totally untouched and I never see you there

Considering “childcare” jobs are typically viewed as women’s jobs, it’s wild to ban the word “women” from Head Start.

This is a truly remarkable moment. Simultaneously debunking Kristi Noem’s lie in real-time and elevating the story of a veteran who was deported under Trump & Noem’s dehumanizing, belligerent deportation policy.

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

If we’re getting rid of garbage we might need to start at the White House.

avg linkedin user like "i'm happy to announce i'm starting a new position as part of the how to kill superman by blocking out the sun research team at luthorcorp" & the comments are all goons from similar branches of the legion of doom going "omg congratulations 🎉"

Truly fucking insane.

If you want literature to exist you have to support it and that doesn't always mean you, personally, will pay. The more we USE our libraries the better they can justify their funding, and the more people they can serve. By stealing instead, you're cheating your neighbors AND the artists. Dick.

Quite literally taking the “just following orders” line.

Bold to just flatly state that the military should obey UNlawful orders.

This is an administration by and for sex traffickers. www.propublica.org/article/andr...

Hi. Mike here. Listen to me very carefully. After I'm gone, if anyone, anywhere, for any reason, attempts to use some piece of shit AI app/bot/thing to play a video of me weighing in on literally any topic, I would like you all to seize their device and smash it with a hammer.

Is his 2028 platform orgy based?

He actively pops his elbows and shoulders to intentionally hit them.

It’s useful for people of my generation to be reminded that this wasn’t that long ago. Ruby Bridges isn’t just still alive—she’s only 71, not ancient!

Rudy Bridges is younger than the Sitting President of the United States and 29 sitting United States Senators

“The government is allowed to post real death threats on social media but you’re not allowed to post sarcastic death threats on social media” is actually a pretty apt distillation of power and violence

Putting aside the inability to use a hammer, why on earth is he using stakes on a gated fence? Like if you want to block off those gaps you get planks not stakes to stab vampires.

"The best possible interpretation for Trump is that he knew everything. The far worse, and more likely interpretation, is that Trump himself was a perpetrator. Epstein states that [REDACTED] victim spent “hours” at his home with Trump."

I guess technically naval drone strikes aren’t bullets….

They want people to starve. The government has the money to feed people but as always w Trump, the cruelty and vendettas are the point.

London has had a progressive mayor who happens to be muslim, for 9 years and the world hasn’t come to an end. Today, New York will also elect a progressive mayor who happens to be muslim. The two greatest cities in the world led by two people who love them. Simple as that.

I’m sure none of his staffers could find news on how local elections played out against the GOP.

The entire right-wing propaganda machine came after Zohran Mamdani. The president and his allies came after him. Democratic leaders, by and large, did not have his back until the last minute. He still won, turning out historic numbers and inspiring young voters. His politics can win anywhere.

Mamdani has won more votes than the entire population of any of the 5 smallest states.

Mamdani cracks 1M votes, the first NYC mayor to do so since John Lindsay in 1969

It turns out listening to people, running on popular things people want, and not being an evil ghoul can have you defeat both parties throwing all they can at one candidate to defeat you.

How is this whole thing a real Supreme Court Case hearing and not a sketch comedy bit?

I’m sure he won’t claim that he’s graciously doing this to save people from the evil democrats as opposed to it being a court order.

This time. Last time. www.piie.com/blogs/realti...

"If we had a contingency fund." You mean like this contingency fund the Trump Administration just deleted off their website? The one they are legally required to use to keep SNAP funded? www.notus.org/trump-white-...

Maybe they can have a cage match on the White House lawn

Democrats didn't campaign on LGBTQ rights. Trans people weren't even permitted to speak at the DNC. This is the most persistent lie about the 2024 campaign, and it keeps being pushed by grown adults who should know better.

The NY Times and WaPo may be lost causes but holy shite look at PEOPLE out here absolutely killing it with 100% unvarnished truths 🌟

Good advice from Stavvy. www.vulture.com/article/stav...

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Not to be a buzzkill for a viral thread, but Carnegie and the Rockefellers poured money into cultural institutions not just because they supported the arts but usually as a way to use PR to cover up other scandals or rehab their image.

“Walmart was the top employer of SNAP recipients in five states and one of the top four employers in the remaining four states. McDonald’s was among the top five employers of Medicaid enrollees in five of six states and SNAP recipients in eight of nine states.” www.cnbc.com/2020/11/19/w...

Great framing.

I know this is obvious. And I know we all know this. But if the President can raise taxes because an advert annoyed him, without even consulting Congress, then the US constitution is simply not functioning as intended.

Like bombing random boats in international waters, that kind of off the rails?

Plenty of things are down, like moral and public support.

“Do you really expect Mamdani to get everything he’s promising done?” No. I’m sure a lot of what I want won’t happen. But I’m ready for someone who’s willing to actually fucking try rather than tell everyone why trying is pointless and must be saved for an undefined later moment

Putting aside the fact that it was Regan’s own words and voice, how could they even be “cheating” in a commercial - it’s an ad not a competition.
