I'm gonna say this again. Being apolitical or ignoring politics is a privilege. Most minorities can't do that because so many policies directly affect us.

Trump couldn’t steal this much money or murder this many people without the aid of an entire political party full of fellow thieves and murderers.

HEY MSM: IT'S NOT A SETTLEMENT! IT'S NOT A SETTLEMENT! IT'S NOT A SETTLEMENT! IT'S NOT A SETTLEMENT! IT'S NOT A SETTLEMENT! IT'S NOT A SETTLEMENT! IT'S NOT A SETTLEMENT! IT'S NOT A SETTLEMENT! IT'S NOT A SETTLEMENT! IT'S NOT A SETTLEMENT! IT'S NOT A SETTLEMENT! IT'S NOT A SETTLEMENT!

Testify at a Senate hearing today, Todd Blanche told Senator Chris Van Hollen he's met with Epstein survivors and their lawyers. Within hours, 18 Epstein survivors released a joint statement contradicting AAG Todd Blanche's testimony, directly accusing him of making false claims. I believe them.

I will never understand why Jan 6, 2021 wasn't sufficient for people to vote for Kamala Harris. Never.

I'll tell ya something I will vote for the Democratic candidate who promises to go after corruption and hound these people til the day they die. Bonus points if he/she tells the first reporter who asks them about "unity" to fuck off.

I know the advice on how to cut down on my grocery bill is well intentioned but you've lost the plot. The problem doesn't rest with me, it's with the people deporting farm workers, implementing tariffs, and allowing monopolies within the grocery industry.

There’s a massive immigration operation in Memphis right now, but you may not have heard about it. Why? Community members face retaliation for trying to spread the word out, a lawsuit alleges.

So much respect for this exceptional leader! Mamdani disputes Reagan claiming the 9 scariest words are “I’m from the government & I’m here to help,” saying: “9 more terrifying words are actually 'I worked all day, and can't feed my family.' Share everywhere! #uspoli substack.com/@rawstory/no...

In 1952, Richard Nixon's career was nearly derailed by revelations that he had access to a slush fund of $18,000 -- less than a quarter million today." People used to give a shit about that kind of thing, you see.

Kamala Harris would not steal $1.8 Billion of our tax money to give to White Nationalist traitors.

Last week some of the wealthiest people in the country had tantrums because there’s small changes being made to the tax system. (Not enough in my opinion) while we have disabled people being thrown off the only support they have. While charities are running out of food for people.

Interesting how all of the AI hype puked out by these tech turds uses the language of a sex criminal laughing at the idea of consent. (Ex-Google CEO is alleged to have abused his much younger ex-girlfriend, BTW.)

just open contempt for the united states as a pluralist and secular democracy. and a reminder that the function of the fiction that the united states was founded as a fundamentalist christian nation is to establish a hierarchy of human worth with white christians at the top

It doesn’t even seem like it should be physically possible to make more than 600 trades a week. 600! Most people hold onto stock for years and years.

"As they rushed into his apartment...he felt the jaws of a large dog biting into his ankle, knocking him to the floor. He screamed as the dog tore the flesh from his thighs, hip and wrist. Down the hall, agents took a mother and her 16-yr-old son at gunpoint..." www.propublica.org/article/chic...

Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft are all planning huge layoffs. Amazon got $17.5B in federal tax breaks last year. Jeff Bezos is worth $270B. Meta saved $13.7B in taxes. Mark Zuckerberg is worth $210B. Microsoft saved $12.5B last year. Its CEO is worth $1.3B. This is what a rigged economy looks like.

The count on you being exhausted by the firehose of corruption and bullshit. But THIS. THIS is grounds to march on DC and demand the END of this mafia administration. This is the biggest middle finger to America.

This guy is worth somewhere in the $1B range thanks to being President & COO of Goldman Sachs. He was Director of the National Economic Council in the first Trump admin. He has no idea about anything. You can't make $260k laying cement. If you're lucky, you can make a third of that. Most make less.

Well, Chevron has figured out their candidate. Always helpful to know who Big Oil is rooting for. As for me, I think Tom Steyer will take on the oil and utility industries, and save Californians a bundle. Which is why those industries hate him.
