It is both sad and funny Obama had to explain what every person with a working brain understood to mean "I think the Drake equation is >1" because there are many people without working brains who interpreted it as an impromptu confession he's seen evidence that extraterrestrials have visited Earth.

"The version of Christianity that Trump's most devout supporters embrace (and he pretends to) has no room for Christ’s actual teachings. Anyone who references Jesus’s declarations to aid the sick, poor, and vulnerable is quickly labeled a socialist and/or antifa."

"The Crime of Witness" by Fintan O’Toole in @nyrb-imprints.bsky.social "The videos that expose the administration’s mendacity about its own use of extreme violence against peaceful dissent are themselves products of the courage to show up [and] see for yourself." www.nybooks.com/articles/202...

NEW: The FBI interview implicating Trump for raping and assaulting a 14 year old took place one day before Epstein was found dead in his jail cell, and emails about the credible accusation came around the time Blanche visited Ghislaine Maxwell in pirson. substack.com/home/post/p-...

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

A year later Weev would play a key role in professionalizing the trolls who played a key role in getting Trump elected.

The Dow was at 43,488 when Trump took office. It just hit 50,000. So if you had invested $43,488 in the US, you would now have $50,000. But if you had invested the same amount in the rest of the world, you would now be worth $60,000. Lemme do a expla-youtube-nation www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYL5...

“South Texas will never be red again”: Home builders warn GOP over Trump’s immigration raids, which have destroyed the region's once thriving economy. Construction executives have held multiple meetings over the last month with the White House and Congress to discuss immigration busts on job sites.

I am an Anti-ICE account. I will never obey illegitimate authority. No matter how much more comfortable and safe it could make me feel to do so. The truth is, there are many who need to understand that their comfort and safety is only temporary under fascism. IT. WILL. COME. FOR. YOU.

ICE has completely broken our social contract. They manipulate social trust and are creating lasting damage to our most basic social foundations
