If income inequality is at levels of pre-revolution France, can someone explain how our present conditions are less bad than the Great Depression? Is it possible we are all working jobs that cannot pay for our lives? Please help, @rbreich.bsky.social or @ @justinwolfers.bsky.social

The reality: Men do not need to put on a dress and go into a public restroom to abuse women and children. Or cross national borders. They usually just go home. Or don a clerical collar. Or wear a badge. Or run for office. Or play pro sports. Or they just do it in public, wearing pants.

ABC’s Selina Wang was filming something on her iPhone at the White House when dozens of shots rang out. The White House is now under lockdown.

Fun fact: North Carolina still hasn’t recovered from hurricane Helene, and Trump wants $2 billion to give people who smeared shit on the walls of the Capitol.

Pete Buttigieg to CNN just now.. about Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy's controversial road trip reality show "I love road trips. I love America. I actually took a taxpayer-funded road trip lasting about seven months. It was in Afghanistan. This is something very different"

These days you got to turn in early because broke o’clock comes sooner now

Inflation is at a three-year high. Everything costs more — groceries, gas, healthcare, a plane ticket. The math is simple. Every American dollar spent overseas on war is a dollar that could’ve been spent here at home to pay for a dignified life. It's time we change the equation.

Republicans make us pay more for gas, groceries, and a multitude of other things, make us pay for their wars and bombing campaigns, want us to pay for Trump’s ballroom, and now want us to pay $1.7 billion to “compensate” convicted J6 criminals he pardoned. Vote them all out.

Trump on Iran War: Reporter: What extent are Americans’ financial situation motivating you to make a deal? Trump: Not even a little bit. I don't think about Americans’ financial situation

The Washington Post is trying to run ads on Instagram to lure back subscribers. The first ad was ratioed so hard they had to limit comments and give up. They reposted minutes later and the same pattern started immediately so they locked comments again. No one wants Bezos propaganda

Prime Minister Péter Magyar inaugural speech: "The psyche of the whole country was poisoned by politics that was artificially inciting hatred. The Hungarian state is not allowed to do anything like this ever again... This era is, once and for all, finished."

The first time my elderly mother needed an external catheter in the hospital I thought the nurses were saying “pirouette” #purewick #nursing #medical

TGIF Thank God It's Forty-eight hours until a friendly reporter drops optimistic news about the Iran War ending just hours before markets open.

The dude's brain is like a toddler's toy at this point, just a few recorded phrases that it plays on repeat when you press a button

Does the presence of two em dashes and the absence of needless ALLCAPS words indicate a staff ghost writer’s use of AI on behalf of the president in his 3:35 pm post?

11 am: America goes back to 1964 7 pm: America goes back to 1944

If the president really wants to ensure he’s in a maximum security location, I can recommend several

It turns out they do know how to make a plane turn around and bring people back when they want to.

The Whiner in Chief is awake and posting dementia-fueled revenge-Parks-and-Rec schemes while fitting in some bigotry and delusions. No one is working for the American people. @atrupar.com @aaronparnas.bsky.social @sethabramson.bsky.social

"Trump’s claim this is about jobs when he destroyed far more than 14,000 jobs with DOGE is rank bullshit... Trump wants to use taxpayer dollars to hide from taxpayers what a catastrophic economic disaster Trump caused with his incompetence."

It’s 1:10 am in Washington and Trump has been night-raging on Truth Social, deep into paranoid reposts of Obama/Hillary conspiracies. My God, the man is well past competent to serve

You can set your watch by Trump’s weekend Iran war market manipulations.

i’m such a stupid fucking mark for trying to “work” and “follow the law”

Chat, we’ve got another fine motor articulation failure/aphasia here #dementia

Our economy and cruelty are “K-shaped”

"pope should stay out of politics." brother you need to stay out of a size medium

Reporter: “Do you expect other countries to help with a blockade of Iran?” Trump: “Yeah, other countries are gonna.” Reporter: “Which countries?” Trump: “We don’t need other countries.” He is absolutely insane. video courtesy @dropsitenews.com

President of Iran’s response to Trump’s insults to the Pope and the posting of the AI Trump-Jesus image:

Etymology of “BLASPHEMY” - blax ("sluggish, stupid") or blaptō ("to injure, hurt") and phēmē ("reputation, utterance"), suggesting "to injure a reputation.”

Guys, new dementia case notes just dropped: Trump Lunar Resort, posted right after the Trump Jesus

He is mentally incapacitated and needs to be removed from office via one of the legal and peaceful means available to do so

Keep Pope Leo’s name outta your foul mouth

Bitch your ass isn’t even Catholic. Sybau and sybad.

Right on time. His friends will buy the dip, in time for Taco Tuesday I guess?

🚨🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Opposition leader Péter Magyar WINS the election for prime minister of Hungary, defeating Putin and Trump’s ally Viktor Orbán. 🇭🇺

ORBÁN CONCEDED

Women can go to space and break records. You know what women can’t do? Whip out a dick at young interns. Goddammit, Swalwell 🤦🏼‍♀️

Today: Donald Trump acts like it’s the first he’s heard about Iran charging tolls in the strait. 25th this guy already, and tell us who’s really running the country.

The threat itself is an impeachable offense. Don’t let it slide.

so, he should still be removed from office as soon as humanly possible

Anyway, we have ample research on how living under a state of sustained terror and stress causes life-long health problems as well as intergenerational epigenetic effects. This feels like it's making you sick because it actually is making you sick.

Goes from threatening the genocide of 90 million people to just “hanging around” and helpin’ out.

Trump went from making insane genocidal threats this morning to hyping the “golden age” of Iran hours later, and he received no concessions in between. He’s an absolute basket case who needs to be removed from power before he follows through on one of his mass murder fantasies.

Trump is putting the world through a live game of Russian Roulette. This is literal torture.

The President is openly threatening genocide. A crime against humanity. He must be removed from office. The 25th Amendment must be invoked. If not, Congress has to do our damn job. Speaker Johnson, call us into session. War powers & impeachment. Remove this man from office.

25th amendment. Impeachment. I will support any avenue to remove Donald Trump from office. We cannot leave this man in charge of America’s nuclear weapons as he threatens to end an entire civilization. And Congress must not fund this reckless administration.

REMOVE THE PRESIDENT. CONGRESS IS GONE. YELL AT THE WHITE HOUSE UNTIL THEY DO

i think if you tweet "a whole civilization will die tonight" you shouldn't go to the hague, the hague should get to come to you
