An absolute bedrock institution for understanding how the planet works, just civilization-scaled vandalism by the most incurious morons on Earth

This…is not economics

The new Bolt, much like its predecessor, is a down-to-earth car that’s meant for the masses, so you’re not going to find a lot of customization in the online configurator. But it's a great deal. insideevs.com/news/780974/...

An entire room full of powerful old white people smiling and laughing as the president dehumanizes black immigrants and the first black president. Just fucking pathetic.

A 6-year-old boy is missing after ICE arrested him and his dad in NYC last week and shipped them off to separate facilities. www.thecity.nyc/2025/12/02/i... @thecity.nyc @gwynnefitz.bsky.social

We are seeing this admin over and over again decide to target people who have become technically deportable through no fault of their own other than government delay. Why? One reason is because they’re the compliant ones who are easy targets for an admin who wants quick boosts in arrest numbers.

Once again, marginal income tax and capital gains tax rates are too low and pose an existential threat to American democracy

“mr speaker do you have any concerns about the amount of information your staff is apparently hiding from you” is a pretty obvious question that needs to be asked

SNAP benefits expire in one week.

Once again, one reason Trump says & does whatever he wants is bc every societal institution, including the media, has totally normalized & internalized the idea that the laws, the Constitution, & the international treaties we have signed & ratified simply don’t apply to this one guy. It’s maddening.

Their contempt for millions of Americans is unchristian, unpatriotic, and sad.

It's nauseating how childish and obtuse this is. It's not just that it's grotesquely immoral; it's also horrible strategy. He's tossing everything we know about what's actively effective in modern military operations in favor of an adolescent power fantasy.

Many of this are left cold by this. I sure am. But this - the kind of performative Andrew Tate cartoon-masculinity, the clumsy swagger, the maundering braggadocio, the needy desperate I‘M A MANLY MAN I’M A MANLY MAN, speaks to a howling void of inadequacy in some people’s souls.

Hegseth fires general officers and JAGs, cracks down on dissenting views in military, orders killing civilians at sea without legal rationale, calls generals to Quantico to demand loyalty. Trump deploys troops to U.S. cities. "What are Trump and Hegseth up to? It's a mystery!"

The thing that will drive me insane is watching the right explicitly calling for violence against their enemies (see also the Daily Caller article) and then in the same breath declaring anyone who even points it out as being a violent extremist, and then the media going “Sure, makes sense to me”

Compare this with Kavanaugh's baby-brain concurrence

I'm just gonna keep reposting this inane BS from Justice Kavanaugh's concurrence on the roving immigration patrol case from LA.

This is just objectively the exact opposite of the truth. Every serious effort to actually quantify the ideological valence of political violence has found the reverse of what Vance claims.

pretty wild that it so quickly became normalized that immigrants don’t have even basic free speech rights www.axios.com/2025/09/11/c...

Spencer Cox: "Our nation is broken. We had political assassinations recently in Minnesota. We had an attempted assassination on the gov of Pennsylvania. And we had an attempted assassination on a president. Nothing I say can unite us as a country. Nothing I can say right now can fix what is broken"

I made a little short list of what I think are entirely reasonable complaints and demands:

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

NEW: Last week, oil literally rained down on a Black town in rural Louisiana where 60% of folks live in poverty. The company isn’t taking responsibility & the federal + state governments are saying residents have to clean it up themselves. capitalbnews.org/louisiana-oi...

People need to understand just how openly genocidal the rhetoric on the far right is getting towards transgender people. They're openly talking about eradicating us and forcefully mass institutionalizing all trans people. These are people with direct ties to the Trump administration.

“American fascism looks like the would-be self-proclaimed king deploying the military on US soil not only not in response to requests by local or state officials but over-and almost specifically to spite-their vociferous objections.” @vermontgmg.bsky.social www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/america-ti...

"We've spent a lot of money on the military and now they have nothing to do so we might as well let the president use it domestically to satisfy his own petty grudges" is precisely why the Founders feared a standing army. I mean, it's pretty much fucking verbatim.

"Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

You cannot even go to a doctor’s appointment. This happened at a surgical center in Ontario, California, yesterday.

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Mark Ellis worked at Sempra for 15 years, was Chief of Corporate Strategy. Now he's saying that: - Wall Street-owned utilities wildly over-profit. - It costs Americans $50bn/year. - They use junk math to justify it. - Regulators let them do it. www.economicliberties.us/our-work/rat...
