The only thing they’re interested in spending any money on is technologies that allow them to aggregate our information to be able to predict and control individual American citizens. Everything else is just a grift v

Lets get the word out about this wonderful series by Heather Cox Richardson and her team that took the USA 250 assignment so seriously and did such a genuinely engaging and informative production of important parts of our history we may be ignorant about. Don’t be shy. It’s only a minute.😉

“But wait, there’s more!” I don’t need more. Detention camps alone is way more than anyone should be finding tolerable or acceptable. Debasing the entire society while making every penny he can out of doing so and people are letting him!!!

Hey, the Democrats are not *something else* besides the people who have voted Democratic for all our fucking lives, putting up with a lot, to try to stem the tide of oligarchy; so push now comes to shove, you want the loyalty of people that had to keep voting for you over worse. Just No.

What it looks like for boomers in retirement: grim. Subsequent generations: worse.

This. This is what is important today. It’s important that we don’t lose track of the path we’ve been on. It’s a path we can move back toward in the future by not putting up with the BS of today. Read, watch, continue to Resist.

‘You can’t make this shit up’ does not mean they did not dare to be so obnoxiously stupid…

Education worth getting right here! Antidote to daily absurdity.

explains the preemptive stirring of the swamp there in the reflecting pool? A whole batch of physical infrastructure catastrophes is lined up as another source of distraction from 1 the Epstein files and 2 undermining November 2026 elections. —And it’s a way to control movement in DC

Thanks to Proj2025 & lunkhead acolytes of the world’s first trillionaire. He should pay for vetted independent experts to restore. Maybe a huge national effort to undo all the tech related mess and violations? Judge blocks Trump administration's database of Americans' personal info - CBS News

Nostalgia trip here. Enunciation, connection, kindness, encouragement seemed possible. Clearly, we kind of took it for granted. And we didn’t pay attention to how it was made into grist for the mill of the right wing hater class, just looking for openings to wreck things. fb.watch/HUy1jwhA0G/?...

Desperate measures! After years, with no effort on my part, of not ever receiving any campaign messages from that swamp monster, I am getting peppered with targeted messages to my demographic and social group. Anybody else getting unexpected emails from the gross thing? Not enough hydrogen peroxide!

‘renting’ US military to Bomb Iran? Saudis had invested #$BS in J Kushner enterprises so yes. still representing the White House, JK asked them for more investments. More bombing? No mention of this shit in reporting on the war. Vance’s Swiss trip just for show? www.facebook.com/reel/9459004...

The fight for Black Liberation is also a fight for bodily autonomy. A fight for freedom from chains and cages. A fight to live freely, safely, and fully on our terms. Thank you to our ancestral freedom fighters, those in the fight right now, and those who will come. Happy #Juneteenth!

So vocabulary lists? Appreciate the opportunity. That’s not enough? It’s not accessible if the chore is to click ‘look up’ for a definition? Or even walk to the dictionary? I’m sorry - I’m too old for this now. (Reminded that a philosophy essay test is required to graduate from French high school.)

So the military still gets the money even though they spent it without Congress authorizing it? (That never worked with the parents.) Just one more piece of evidence about how some faction backing Trump is determined to bankrupt the US government. So many factions to choose from…

The homework for the day isn’t work: it’s brilliant, an illuminating piece.

OMG same gene pool? So to speak. He and Trump have the same whatever it is that causes that kind of deterioration as well as the mental derangement to try to, uh, paper it over. Apparently it’s a complete set - with its own Mar-a-Lago faced doll.

Juneteenth! Recognizing and Celebrating the endurance and strength of Black Americans. Thanks Congressman!

Exactly. These are the doors they want to push open wider: to create fictional unconstitutional excuses to make it harder to stay in the opposition. Minnesota is still updating the playbook for us-so it’s on.

Part of what some (Reich) are saying is intentional steady efforts to disrupt normal elections in November. They’ve got plans…Can states/counties/judges get ahead of it to prevent elections being too tainted to count or races too uncertain to call. El shit show is only gonna get bigger and louder.

“Likely to“? Does WaPo now have a problem with verb tenses because it should be “has undermined“ and they called it an exclusive-when did they write that headline - it’s already happened. The so-called deal is done, cooked. Maybe this will turn Congress from funding for Israeli defense?

Treason. Push this! I know there’s so much crazy shit batting around our heads, but he SHOULD NOT get away with telling foreign leaders our democracy is fraudulent. #jamellebouie

I’m sure there’s a reason. I just haven’t heard it, but why isn’t the state of California or a consortium of local groups coming back and saying no no no don’t take anything down, don’t stop forward momentum. We’re gonna use it. PG&E needs a serious challenge to their lock on California consumers.

Minnesota will prevail.

Agree to the max!! And bigger screens are not better.

They need to step lively to get the OK for “balcony solar panels” IN CALIFORNIA cause let’s let people who could never afford a big roof at least enjoy the benefits of solar. All the good stuff goes right to the middle class after it leaches out of the Pantheon of Bill Trill yunairs

Racism sucks

That one they apparently get to open in Appleton? Why there’s nothing to stop them? Eff ICE

So there’s this. But is anybody going to or can anyone do anything about this slimy shit? So I don’t have that much longer on the planet. Just 3 million euros would make my remaining years quite comfortable, but otherwise I might have to push this information all over the interweb - just saying.

People should know how badly private equity will fuck up things for the regular folk.

Stole this offa Huffxios or buzzhill or somethin’…because SCIENCE! The truth is out there but they’ll never find it because they don’t “believe“ in science. More worm casings in the protein smoothies please.

It’s clear his main objective, after grabbing and stealing everything he can, is to bankrupt the United States. And at Putin’s insistence. Because sanctions on Russia are back on. Trump administration to pay $765 million to scrap four more offshore wind leases - www.reuters.com/business/ene...

She’s amazing 💜💙💜

So suddenly chips are gonna be expensive slow and soon outdated. Just because all the resources will be taken. … Certain kinds of common items are suddenly not available like lightbulbs, smokealarms, some wound care ointments. 🤔

💔Used to teach journalism…but most former positions/activities/publications have been defunded/erased/rendered nonexistent by EOs. Somebody will try to say those jobs are just named something else now. Bullshit. As you well know.

Speaking English, but her nonverbals were completely Italian. And how quickly, eyes averted, people pass on either side of them. Nobody wants to get in on that. Remember when the President of the United States would be surrounded by leaders of other nations at one of these gigs? A 🫟 on America.

He reliably says exactly what he knows he should not: it’s so obvious, the psychopathic twists. A guilty little boy. He knows he did it and he knows somehow he’s gonna wriggle out, but he is still guilty. So he does worse shit to justify the guilt, no other way forward. Monstrosity in charge.

Trump’s DOJ has charged 15 anti-ICE protesters in Minnesota. The charges are based on his national security memo that categorized “anti-capitalism,” “anti-Americanism,” and “extremism on migration” as domestic terrorism. This is what tyranny looks like.

Oh, somebody must have lost a script they were shopping around. Always happens in LA.

Do not crank about his stupid effing cage fights, and how that represents something so terrible. how he’s psychologically messed up about being 80. I don’t give a shit! THIS is terrible. This is unconscionable and why there aren’t millions in active vocal opposition is a stain on us all.

Marvin Gaye "What's Going On...✊🏾 A classic song that will always be relevant Old School Sunday’s 🎶

Guy posts photo of Kennedy Center without that name on it, fails to say its a years old picture, then someone suggests he remove his post since he says he can’t edit it. He replies to the person ‘go fuck yourself’. That guy has showed us that Trumpism’s won, at least in his case. Let’s dont be him

Trash! And they will be finding dozens of dumpsters a day in the run up to November, all with a story to tell. Just remember, Trump lies Trump always lies. He always has and he always will and little bit of local trash like Spencer don’t know any better.

To sell people something intangible means get rid of the tangible or make it useless, irrelevant. A few of us used to have conversations about the economics of computers and the Internet many decades ago, we were on Arpanet email in ‘78, and it has turned out so much worse than we ever imagined.

Do update the wording to say ‘billionaires and trillionaires’. Don’t expect that there’s only gonna be that one. If this tax were to actually be applied, we could have significantly less stress about how fast our democracy is dissolving in the powerful acids wielded by disgustingly wealthy men.

They say the letters are down, but the tarp is still hanging there. I will reserve judgment and celebration for when it is clear and plain that it’s all gone.

MSG of the day. Donald trump lies all the time. His words cannot be believed.

As they also are cranking out a whole program of ways to isolate and destroy US science especially putting political appointees in charge of disbursing grants and contracts, sidelining peer review and outlawing cross national collaboration. Corrupt, fascistic and dreadfully sad.
