Julian "Jace" Calderas told the undercover FBI agents several times that Tom Homan could get them lucrative contracts.

I recently shifted from wondering whether my parents would approve of my decisions to whether my children and grandchildren will.

Why the coverage?

Right-wing Sinclair Broadcasting owns all these local media stations and many others all across America. This is not journalism, it is scripted propaganda.

Does anybody do parody autotune mixes from news clips any more? If so, is there one derived from Kirk's worst? If not, can there be? Some ear-worm to expose his villainy, maybe?

Morality is not based in any particular religion or faith, but sometimes persons of faith can share morality and moral lessons through a discussion of their faith. Maybe you hear it from this guy or maybe you can hear it despite his frame of reference.

The Texas story the national takes keep missing.

Sometimes it is hard to tell whether I "rose to the occasion" or "sank to their level."

Hear me out... the hand at the bottom of the far left looks like a mannequin's, right? Is this a used sex doll they bought/sold?

F@ck you, Texas A&M, President Welch, and Chancellor Hegar. What a disgraceful response.

You deserve a break on Sundays that doesn’t break the bank.

"Release the Epstein files" "Stroke" "Release the Epstein files" "Stroke" - New crewing chant.

I am an atheist, but Mr. Talarico has framed his faith around its morality which is a welcome change to those who use it as a means of judgment.

How long until you are affected by the dismantling of a government that protects you from the avarice of an unregulated capitalist system, snake-oil remedies peddled by charlatans, and your personal liberties?

"Everybody else in the entire world ... (is) watching out there, because they understand history, and they're seeing what happened with Franco ... they're seeing what happened with Hitler — this is how it's done. ... It's time for Americans to wake up. This is serious."

People learn in all types of ways. Maybe somebody will read the Declaration of Independence after learning of its "radical... treasonous tripe" www.washingtonpost.com/doonesbury/s...

The present is history on an autoplay loop

Follow the Kleptocracy Tracker! It's on my Substack, and also now @snfagora.bsky.social snfagora.jhu.edu/our-work/res...

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "Wake the fuck up to what's going on in this country... We're going to put everything on the damn line... People haven't given up yet. We're going to do this. We can win this November. We can win next November, and then we can get this country back on track."

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

Inslee: If you need more energy, the dumbest thing you can do is disallow access to wind, solar, and advanced batteries—three of the most productive ways of producing new energy. And yet, that’s exactly what he’s done.

"If I hunker down and wait for my [ally] to move the gears of demokracy, there will nothing left of us when the enemy strikes. We will die like flies..."

Remember how you felt when you saw George decked Biff? Looking forward to feeling that way again when the rest of us confront oligarchs.

Texas is not a red state. Texas is a gerrymandered purple state.

Texas Democrats are not "fleeing the state." They are disabling a GOP fascistic abuse of process to preserve and protect democracy using the final mechanism available to them.

F@ck the Texas GOP.

Reading historical fiction set in Europe during the mid-1930s and 1940s hits differently today.

Casar: "Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in American history. Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in Texas history. And the two of them are working together on the most corrupt scheme I've ever seen. What they're trying to do is insulate Trump from any accountability for his crimes."

Is economics just another term for exploitation?

What do Epstein, Maxwell, Tate, McGregor, and Gaetz have in common?

We told you they were going to do project 2025 and it’s 2025 and they’re doing project 2025

I just held a rally in Plano, TX — a red part of the state — and 1,000 people showed up. Many said it was their first political rally ever. There’s something happening in Texas…

GARCIA: At the end of the day, this leans into Americans understanding that Donald Trump is corrupt. He's not for you. He will lie to you, he will betray you, and he's only in it to save himself. And that's what this moment is about.

If you are not Afraid Angry Concerned Energized Motivated Resistant Then you are not paying attention.

Congress eliminated public media funding. At a time of deep division, public media brings us together. Help keep it strong. Join our monthly donors today: n.pr/458sOhq

This one got me.

Volcano on Reykjanes peninsula in Iceland erupts for ninth time since 2023

Still waiting on the raid and perp walk of company executives who hired and underpaid undocumented workers.

"Americans have never witnessed anything like the corruption that President Donald Trump and his inner circle have perpetrated in recent months. Its brazenness, volume, and variety defy historical comparison" www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

I endorse this blasphemy.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

My reach is limited so share generously, please.

I still blame Robin Leach.

WHO ELSE AGREES?! 🤚

When the US or any other nation withdraws delivery of aid to the place in need of such aid, those in need of aid will migrate to the places they can obtain the help they need. This is such a well known cycle it is cliche.

The next major National Day of Action will be John Lewis Day - Thursday, July 17th

Is he blowing up the world tonight?
