Sen. Markwayne Mullin bought up to $50K each in Raytheon stock (RTX) & Chevron (CVX) just days before the U.S. strike on Venezuela— Mullin sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee — I’m sure it’s just a coincidence..

A month after the Epstein files deadline, only a fraction of DOJ records have been released. Does no one have the power to confront this obstruction of justice or are we to be “ok” with the fact we now are ruled by a dictator.

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask: "If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

And the US is no longer safe to be an American. Thanks @billbramhall.bsky.social.

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

Everything is so expensive. The average price of ground beef in the US is now a record high $6.67 per pound. We are a country without affordable groceries for our own citizens. Since 2020, ground beef prices are up +72% coffee up +52%, and chicken breast up +36%. This is not a good sign.

When Fascism came to America, no one crawled on their bellies and kissed the boot more willingly than those who once defiantly shouted "Don't Tread On Me!"

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

We need to ramp up the latter two.

"What goes around may come around, but it never ends up exactly the same place, you ever notice? Like a record on a turntable, all it takes is one groove's difference and the universe can be on into a whole 'nother song"

I’ve started using the term “ethnic cleansing campaign” to describe the ICE occupation here in Minnesota. This is deliberate because the reality on the ground is that, at a given moment, any non-white person can be kidnapped by masked federal paramilitaries regardless of their constitutional rights.

🧵 The autoworker at the Dearborn Truck Plant is a proud member of a strong and fighting union—the UAW. He believes in freedom of speech, a principle we wholeheartedly embrace, and we stand with our membership in protecting their voice on the job.

That Rogan clip has some legs. @nbcnews.com #gestapo www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/...

they may cosplay Nazis but in Hitler's state Stephen Miller would have been whisked immediately off to the gas ovens & Noem would be earning modest wages prying gold fillings out of the teeth of corpses.

dumbest reason to start a world war: ⚪ dead habsburg 🔘 giant mass of arctic tundra

this is correct, top to bottom.

When Renee Good said "I'm not mad at you" what the ICE goon heard was "I'm not scared of you." That's what enraged him. The populace wasn't fully terrorized and cowed into submission yet, so he acted to make that happen.

I make SHADOW TICKET (2025) by @tompynchon.bsky.social as yet another regendered retelling of a classic tale, viz. PARADISO (~1320) by Dante. See: tinyurl.com/3k4hpt23 A-and drill down to the other hypertext links on Reddit if possible for more information.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Hilton owns 25 hotel brands, so don’t forget to boycott them as well: www.hilton.com/en/brands/

If Hilton is going to punish franchisees for doing the right thing, then Hilton deserves a boycott. We’ve seen what collective action can do, Tesla’s declining sales are proof. The same pressure can work here too.

It looks like Epstein is occasionally showing up in the Trump files.

Can't. Watching the Tax Slayer Itemized Deductions Bowl powered by Smartwater.

Next year's artists signed contracts to perform at "The Kennedy Center for Performing Arts." Since a venue with that name no longer exists, and one with a very division name many artists would not wish to be associated with does, they should be able to get out of their contracts.

Congress should not let up on contempt for Bondi. They must bring her b4 committee, under oath. Except this time when she starts with her CRAP, they must be prepared to have the Sgt. At Arms, put her in cuffs. Period.

This is perfect. The DOJ's embarrassing snafu with disappearing redactions was the fault of Elon Musk. Musk cancelled government subscriptions to Adobe programs that would have made the redactions permanent. What a pack of fools.

I've now watched the censored 60 Minutes report on CECOT. If you watched it too—and if you have any decency at all—I'm sure you came to the same conclusion I did: winning elections won't be enough; people like Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem will need to be charged and imprisoned.

These people keep accepting the numbers as ‘real’. Why. They canned the BLS to avoid bad news then all of the sudden up pops a positive number. They lie about everything, this is no different. Those numbers are fake.

OLN is important. One wishes history had unfolded in a different way; on almost each page one wants a hero to throw the concentration camp gears in reverse, but no one does. The bureaucratic/militaristic/industrial fever for a carceral state apparatus transcends borders & eras, & is strong here now.

Worth repeating this with every new Epstein document drop. The party of Denny Hastert is the party of Jim Jordan is the party of Matt Gaetz is the party of Donald Trump. Looking the other way and protecting child predators from the law is their brand.

If this doesn't motivate you to vote in the Midterms, nothing will.

The competition in the Trump administration to be the first to tip off Putin must have been fierce.

Pamela Jo Bondi, doing her part to help an administration that calls itself, with a seemingly straight face, "The Most Transparent in American History."

Learned today that a dose of Skyrizi without insurance is $20-22K. I assume the drug is effective, but guys, that commercial is on every five minutes. Maybe funnel some of that advertising budget into reducing the medicine's cost. People who need it it will find it without hearing the song.

A $400,000 mortgage is $2,600 per month today. A $400,000 mortgage was $1,600 per month in 2022. $1,000 more a month for the same home. Crazy.

The purge of nazis in tech needs to make nuremberg look gentle. (And everywhere else, while we're at it).
