The robots cost more to replace.

This one is amazing too

This video of a woman telling an anti-abortion asshole to, "Shut the fuck up" is exactly what I needed to see on a Monday morning

“The moral of the story is Stephen Miller is a terrible neighbor, on a mission to take away our first amendment rights.” From @FriendsofUSAID: www.instagram.com/reel/Da_jjeu...

"In the week leading up to the Iranian attack on Friday that killed two soldiers and left one service member missing in Jordan, Iran carried out 3 other strikes Those attacks injured dozens of service members and damaged several helicopters. But the Pentagon did not disclose the earlier strikes."

Indeed, the report hits on two of the Trump administration’s goals: the vilification of Cuba ahead of potential military action, as well as the creation of a myth of an organized and violent left that is prepared to destroy the U.S., as administration officials kickstarted last week.

The State Department has released a 99-page report that labels Cuba as the “ideological capital” of left-wing politics in a document seemingly imitating Cold War politics published amid the Trump administration’s fascistic crackdown on the left.

Border czar Tom Homan warns of "more bloodshed" if we don't "shut our mouths"

All of those boondoggle multi-million-dollar border buoys that @GovHotWheels_TX wasted taxpayer money on are floating down the Rio Grande after the rain. How many billions will we waste chasing red meat politics in this state? www.tpr.org/border-immig...

The US is adopting a strategy of attacking water storage and desalination plants designed to render the region uninhabitable. If continued, this strategy will make the Gulf littoral uninhabitable in the coming decades. Yet there is no discussion of these tactics and their repercussion in the US.

A cop in Wisconsin used Flock to search his ex’s license plate information 200 times. Months later, the officer assigned to investigate him was criminally charged for doing the same thing. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

This seems a bit Nazi-ish, no?

NEW: Aurora Police say an ICE detention center employee shot a protester last night. She is expected to survive. 42-year-old Brandon Booth, who works for the ICE contractor GEO Group, is being held on suspicion of attempted second degree murder and other charges.

Ted Cruz is the latest of a string of Republican senators to push an agreeing Blanche to ban the mailing of mifepristone. They're coming for abortion pills next.

IF claim you are against Trump and the Oligarchy but are on substack, you really aren't. You are literally helping fund them and the hate they push.

I wrote about Naomi Klein joining Substack and why writers of conscience shouldn't launch new media ventures on platforms that court white supremacy for clicks.

Women shouldn't join the military. Not because they can't do the job. But because the military itself is a danger to them & I don't see this being fixed. They should be safe, but aren't. The current leadership is just making it worse. Leave while you can.

Three men have died following ICE street operations in the span of a week. Enough is enough. Send a message to Congress and tell them to hold ICE accountable and put an end to the bloodshed.

A 28-year-old man was killed during an immigration enforcement operation today, marking the third such death in the past seven days. The death occurred on the same day ICE issued a nationwide pause to all agents on most traffic stops. 🎥: Izzy Ramirez

The fact that the Flock CEO called those that oppose their system, TERRORISTS, makes me hate them even more. EVERY major AI company is part of this authoritarian surveillance state movement. www.youtube.com/shorts/tj5Xb...

Marianne's work is quite incredible and worth supporting. If you got the scratch, consider throwing it her way:

Nobody likes data centers, and Democratic politicians need to realize this. www.cbsnews.com/news/georgia...

Man you can hear the cracks and heart break in her telling of it. So real and person to her.

Deborah Ann Woll talking about how much she sees of herself in Eighth Grade is so incredibly moving. I love how open she is about her pain. This is the episode of Real Ones where the D&D clip came from that went viral. A brilliant 90mins.

Exploding diarrhea is the perfect symbol for this administration, its ineptitude, and corruption.

Two things can be true: 1. Platner sucks in every way possible, and was conniving. 2. Jaime Harrison did an incredibly poor job while running the DNC, and the idea we should apologize to him is also not it. We've got to stop stanning politicians, I'm begging you. Remember the context.

Lynching is still happening. Not a surprise to me. But some here don't seem to know that. www.instagram.com/p/DagwriCBJE...

Great bike ride tonight. Beautiful evening, surprisingly cool. Considering the stomach bug I had all week I'm surprised how well it went.

President Trump at first suggested his renovations would last a century. But, within weeks of the project originally reaching completion last month, the water was beset by an algae bloom and pieces of the new coating appeared to be peeling off the bottom. https://to.pbs.org/4f7LVMF

Those present say Lorenzo Salgado Araujo did not ram or 'weaponise' his vehicle, as the US government claimed https://aje.news/hg0ktv

Reminder: Memphis is still “under full-blown occupation” by ICE. Task force members have reportedly killed at least two people in four days.

European Correspondent reporter Samuel Dempsey and editor-in-chief Julius Fintelmann were removed from a June 28 U.S. government-organized event marking America’s 250th birthday in Brussels after questioning the U.S. ambassador to Belgium.

This one is a bit unnerving. As that location was where our gaming group met for the last 2 years, and we'd only moved locations 2 weeks ago. Two arrests. Unfortunately sounds like he's going to be taken off life support by his family and have his organs donated. 😢 #Dungeons&Dragons

Robert Reich supported Platner. Even after all the stuff before this came out. And now Reich doesn't want to discuss his support for him, and why he ignored all the warning signs and ignored women saying who he was. Reich wants to go on like it his support for him never happened.

Who wants to bet, he is NOT having a 'I'm the bad guy?' epiphany like he should be?

If people are calling out Platner's victim, call THEM out. Don't accept their comments. Don't just wait for women to tell you what to do. We know you mean well, but this is the reality of what we have to deal with on a daily basis, and we can't always be the ones to show you the way.

The thunder this evening. Not even 1 second of pause. Hope this storm doesn't wind up into tornadoes further East.

Guess fiberglass solutions didn't line the right pockets like big oil has. Don't get me wrong, the cleanup SHOULD happen, just hypocritical given there's tons of other clean up that should be happening that isn't because this is all political.

NEW The Justice Department is threatening to prosecute election officials across the country for failing to remove noncitizens from their voter rolls, an escalation of the Trump administration's attempts to prosecute election fraud, according to letters I obtained with Andy Mannix @propublica.org 🧵

ICE is still kidnapping and killing people.

The abduction in Pilsen today occurred outside a Subway/BP gas station on Cermak and Damen. Per video shared online, the same skull-masked agent who yesterday shoved a teenage onlooker to the ground in Joliet and has otherwise behaved violently during recent Chicagoland arrests, was present for it.

The far right only supports freedom of religion that aligns with their views.
