Trump & The rest of the Republicans just started "Operation Cut & Run" in the Middle East. It's happening.

Came out of the post office, saw that a guy had cut my saddle bag off my bike and was about to take off with it. I yelled "Please wait my cat's medicine is in there!" He started to run, and this grandma-age lady goes "SHE SAID HER CAT'S MEDICINE IS IN THERE" and WALLOPED him with her grocery bag.

What’s happening to Cuba isn’t just politics; it’s pressure. Cut off fuel, crash the grid, squeeze the economy until it breaks, then call it “reform.” You don’t have to defend the government to see the playbook here. This is about control, not helping people.

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.

If you care about our elections, the foremost experts are Greg Palast (gregpalast.com) and Brad Friedman (bradblog.com). I have followed both for more than 20 years and I've never heard a false or erroneous report. Anything other info you're getting is likely to be flawed if not complete BS.

ICE used warrant for someone not present to abduct 3 innocent people in Burlington VT and used explosives and tear gas on protesters protecting them. Tear gas banned is by the Geneva Convention & can cause blindness. ICE is still state terrorism. No change. www.vermontpublic.org/local-news/2...

One quick note on the regime’s change of tactics on ICE enforcement. They seem to be backing down from some of the most violent tactics afaict. Yes they’re still doing evil shit but what this means is that we successfully prevented them from normalizing violent immigration raids. I think.
