Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Most Caribbean countries have restrictions on entry. Bahamas will only allow felons who have *completed* their sentences. A total of 38 countries will not allow felons to enter. #ProudBlue

Skipping your son’s wedding to attend a staged assassination, attempt certainly is a choice.

Spineless speaker Johnson is an embarrassment

A total U.S. surrender.

Here’s a thought — Maybe these people don’t deserve to be handsomely rewarded? (From NPR)

Wow. They’re openly defending the deletion of DOJ records about a man accused in a child solicitation case who assaulted police on January 6. Truly the Epstein administration.

When politicians say they can't hold corporations accountable, remember: they can. They just choose not to.

There is so much poetry in Stephen Colbert celebrating his finale on the exact stage where the Beatles changed culture in 1964. Singing "Hello Goodbye" surrounded by his family, his band, and his crew before Paul McCartney flipped the final power switch. This was the perfect full-circle goodbye!

The citizens of Festus, Missouri, population approximately 14,000, just voted out every single city council member who secretly approved a gigantic data center. A recall petition is also being circulated to remove the mayor and council members who were not on the ballot.

Morning everyone. Do you know that your President just exempted himself, his family, and all his family's companies from our tax laws? You are subject to the law. Now he is not. No one should not pretend this is okay or normal. It's an ongoing constitutional crisis.

Just wanted to let you know that the IRS has audited every president annually for decades now to ensure there was no corruption and the reason you didn't know that was because only one president found that to be a problem

Watch Stephen Colbert's show and then never watch CBS again. Make em feel it.

Stephen, now that your contract with CBS is officially over, we wanted to personally send you this letter about why we think you should partner with the MeidasTouch Network.

I read this yesterday and it struck a chord. "The US isn't the way it is because he's the President... he's the President because the US is the way it is." 🤔 I think I finally understand. It's not just him... it's almost half of you. Pity.

People are upset. To be clear I do not believe you should be a certain color or a certain language to be able to vote. I do think you should be able to demonstrate a basic understanding of the government and the issues you’re voting on

Why this GOP Congress sucks...

For more than a decade, Stephen Colbert has been one of the top voices of late night—making us laugh and, even more importantly, reminding us who we are and what America stands for. Michelle and I enjoyed being Stephen’s guests—even when the games were rigged—and we’re grateful to call him a friend.

Nothing makes someone look guiltier than forcing the Justice Department to promise never to investigate your taxes or prosecute you for anything they might find

The decisions made by state supreme courts touch every part of our lives. And that’s especially important when voting rights and basic freedoms are being challenged. Today voters in Georgia can stand up for fairness and integrity by electing Miracle Rankin and Jen Jordan to Georgia’s Supreme Court.

don’t know a ton about government financing. And even I know the President isn’t supposed to have tax immunity and his own government-funded slush fund. How is this happening in broad daylight?

Thomas Massie: “Today is the six month anniversary of the Epstein Transparency Act. We’ve taken out two dozen CEOs, an ambassador, a prince, a prime minister, a minister of culture, that was just six months. I’ve got seven months left in Congress.” video courtesy @acyn.bsky.social

“.. What we are talking about is nothing short of the sitting president of the United States looting from the Treasury for his own gain,” she said. @financialtimes.com www.ft.com/content/5733...

Just another, in a long list of reasons why to Vote 💙💙💙. Reasons to impeach him are getting longer, we but we can't do it without control of Congress.

Fuck this. #fuck

here's today's post: "the January 6 rioters are about to get millions, and We the People can go fuck ourselves" — why do we even have laws, if some shithead gets to ignore them? thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter so you never miss a post —

I’m going to so burn. I’m going after the clergy now 😭😭😭😭

Takes a special kind of person to get triggered by images of Mo Farah, Jess Ennis, Jude Bellingham & George Michael amongst other national heroes. Absolute state of these thick ***ts

The stories & photos from today’s voting rights marches in Alabama deserve to be seen by people who weren’t able to stand there in person. If this piece moves you, please share it widely & help make sure these voices aren’t lost in the noise of a crowded news cycle. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

It’s weird that Helen of Troy being played by a black actress is a problem, but most of the rest of the Mediterranean, Greek and Turkish characters being played by incredibly fair and blond haired people of British, Irish and Scandinavian descent isn’t. And by weird, I mean entirely predictable.

Immigration make Britain brilliant

It’s exhausting for immigrants to live life being defensive of own existence. To feel obliged to do much better but at the same time keep much smaller. Don’t do that. It’s not good for you. Immigration *is* life. History confirms that nations die without it. Feel deserving of being treated equally 💚

This 7 year old girl just reminded the world of something important: You can stumble, crash, fall behind & still finish strong! The race isn’t over when you fall. It’s over when you stop getting back up! This little girl’s determination is the kind of inspiration we all need! #SheShed #GirlPower

He was referring to you, you dimwitted, arrogant psychopath. GD you're dumb.

It’s weird to me how people clamor over President Obama any time he speaks now and say ‘I miss having a President who speaks in complete sentences’ and other related things but somehow dismiss that the choice was there for someone else just like that in VP Harris

This video brought back a lot of memories from my coaching girl’s softball days! The years I coached 4 year old & up softball clinics to competitive Rep Ball were rewarding! As much as I taught them about the game, the joy & laughter they brought to the field gave me even more in return! #SheShed

Why is a 76-year-old man doing all the hard work in this moment? Where are the Millennial/Gen Z artists (ahem, Taylor Swift) to shake their audiences into sobriety about what is going on? open.substack.com/pub/saltypol...

France is mandating solar panels on every large commercial car park in the country — turning millions of square metres of idle asphalt into one of Europe's most productive clean energy assets. I have been mentioning this for months - they are shooting up on all the supermarket car parks.

I quoted the Virginia Constitution and Republicans are losing their minds.🤯 Jonathan Turley suggested I am a "radical" and "Jacobian" for literally quoting the Virginia Constitution's Bill of Rights.😂

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

President Obama: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz.”

So in case anybody’s counting, today Donald Trump called not one, but two female reporters “stupid.” He is going to continue to do this. He’s going to start calling them far worse. Because nobody fucking stops him.
