Thank you majority: "According to the most recent edition of an annual Harris Poll, for the first time, a majority of Americans believe billionaires are a threat to democracy." You're right.

The purpose of the United States Constitution is to limit the power of the Federal Government, not the American People. #Truth

I hope people understand that if Trump gets his way America will soon be part of the global axis of evil if we aren't already. You see it in the Caribbean, you see it in Ukraine, and you see it with Trump trying to buddy up to Xi. We are a malevolent force.

There goes the lucrative industry of international tourism, already fairly wrecked. The US was "the world’s most powerful Travel & Tourism market, contributing a record-breaking $2.36 TN to the nation’s economy last year" said the World Travel & Tourism Council in 2024.

No one before Sam successfully raised a child, which is why the human species went extinct in Mesopotamia. Seriously, the best way to read this is that countless billions of humans did just fine but Sam is not as competent and self-reliant as them, and that's what AI wants us to be: dependent.

Humans are selfish, humans are greedy. The world just turns, unconcerned with the stupidity of humans.

Dear Pete, Donald, MAGA etc: “What will it profit a man if he gains the world and loses his soul” We are selling out our nation, our future, our morality, for the ego and wealth of a 79 year old man.

No-strings-attached, zero-means-testing, no-questions-asked cash payouts have been proven, over and over again, to be the most effective form of charity/aid going. It gets people in housing, and it saves the state money. We know this. It's fact, not theory.

One of the most common replies in any discussion of universal basic income is "but how do we pay for it?" and not once do those same people ever question the costs incurred by not doing UBI. We spend $1.5 trillion every year on the costs of child poverty alone. Poverty ain't free, folks. WE ALL PAY.

If you fall for a billionaire telling you to hate your neighbors, especially if you claim to be Christian, I don't know, man. That's pretty stupid.

i want to see more warning signs like this

this is mesmerizing

Noting the congressional pension is based on service time, it kicks in at 5 years and her retirement date - Jan. 5, 2026 - will be the first business day after she passes five years since her first swearing in. bsky.app/profile/heli...

THIS!!!!!! (Former FM of Lithuania)

Really excellent point that often gets lost in the (deserved) mockery. These things are not neutral arbiters of truth. They are easily manipulated extensions of the ideology of their creators. The attempt to shove them into every conceivable knowledge space is an explicitly political project.

reminder that Donald Trump said on the record that he partied with his buddy Jeffrey Epstein and women “on the younger side” and yet we’re pretending like the natural of their relationship is some big mystery

New MRI, please.

"When an off-camera female reporter... began to ask if there was anything 'incriminating' in the Epstein emails, Trump pointed a finger in her face. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy,' he said menacingly." Tell me again how it's women who are ruining the workplace? people.com/donald-trump...

mr president sir theres a story coming about how you intervened to help a sex criminal. no sir, not that sex criminal you helped….no not that one either…sir, please stop guessing sex criminals that you helped. ill give you a hint sir, hes a trafficker. no sir, not that trafficker a different one

Thanksgiving is a commemoration of native americans giving food and comfort to illegal aliens who had taken the land they lived on. A first step in the realization we are ALL one people

On principle I simply don’t endorse wishing violence on people, especially as a public joke. For a host of reasons including how wishing violence on people changes the *wisher*. On this point I think people should be careful for *spiritual* reasons, whether or not it’s simply expedient.

After the revelations in these 23k+ Epstein emails, I’m convinced these billionaires didn’t manipulate the last election to keep Trump out of prison, they did it to keep ALL of them out of prison. May ANYONE involved with Epstein rot in hell and prison, you soulless pieces of shit.

Tax the rich. Billionaire tears not pictured.

Yep. Universal basic income is absolutely necessary to ensure that all sex work is being done fully voluntarily without poverty coercion.

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump. The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

This beautiful, devastating thread:

I think we need to start visualizing the Trump Presidency ending, and socialize it. For it is the right thing to do for the country and the American people.

Instead of funneling endless amounts of money into our bloated Pentagon budget while thousands of veterans face homelessness and hunger, let’s use those funds to truly take care of our veterans — ensuring every one has a home, food, and access to medical and mental health care.

"JPMorgan on Monday said building AI infrastructure will cost more than $5tn" Crazy idea: Why not, rather than spending $5 TRILLION dollars to pay for data centers to create fake brains, just pay actual human beings with real brains that same $5 trillion?

Yep. Don't give up the party apparatus, organization, etc to the Vichy Dems. Kick THEM out. They're the ones who suck, not us.

One watches movies like Saving Private Ryan and one thinks about the many and great sacrifices that were made fighting fascism and nazis back then. And one thinks about the near future and one wonders where we are going.

‪Why do people treat billionaires' opinions as expertise? Stop conflating wealth with wisdom.

So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

we talk too much about the male loneliness crisis and not enough about the male suckerfication crisis maxread.substack.com/p/prediction...

May we rage when we must and rest when we can. May we build the peace we so desperately need. May we turn our hands, in all things, to the justice that peace requires. The only liberation is a shared liberation. May we have courage sufficient to build it. Shabbat Shalom ❤️

If Biden had said anything half this dumb/crazy, he would have been removed under the 25th Amendment by the end of the week. The only reason Republicans don’t remove an obviously unfit president is because they’re no longer a political party. They’re a crime syndicate.

Here’s my “lessons for Democrats” from tonight - we are capable of doing everything everywhere all at once. If you think the future of our Party is going to be built on one type of candidate or one message or one campaign that you are not prepared to do the work in this moment.

I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.

At this point, anyone—a university, a law firm, a corporation, a Democrat—bending the knee to Trump is doing it because they want to, not because of any political reality.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay. See the problem?

As SNAP hangs in the balance for nearly 42 million people, misinformation is rampant. Myths of laziness and fraud persist when we should be talking about too low wages for workers, income inequality, and our threadbare social safety net. In this guest post, Adam Chandler sorts fact from fiction:

"Bury him face down." This barn burner of an obit might feel hyperbolic to people who entered the world in the wake of 9/11; it's not. Cheney was one of the architects of today's American Christian conservatism. He was directly responsible for millions of deaths. Salt the earth where he's buried.

When you look for who embodied American hatred, who exploited our coarsest and basest instincts, and who invented a presidency that could be refashioned as a dictatorship, here's your guy. Among the worst of us. www.wsj.com/politics/dic...

So CBS is just going to be Fox Lite?

On the eve of his second election — on October 31, 1936 — FDR delivered his coup de grace, explaining the stakes in his fight with the moneyed interests. Today’s economic royalists are backing Trump, and the fight is much the same.
