I can't get over this number: in 2007, there were 360,000 newspaper jobs. Now, there are 80,000. "My local paper sucked!" Sure. What sucks even more? The void. "I get all my news from the Guardian!" No, the Guardian doesn't report on your town council, your school board, local cops.

"In Chicago, of 92 people arrested for assaulting or impeding officers last fall, 74 cases have resulted in no charges; in 13 cases, charges were filed and dismissed; and five charged cases were still pending. . . there have been no convictions. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

This from the lawyer who successfully argued the tariff case before SCOTUS, casts huge doubt over the applicability of the statute the @POTUS is relying on to slap down a new 15 percent global tariff.

Big news! A win!! The Supreme Court has ruled that Trump exceeded his authority when he imposed sweeping tariffs on imports from nearly every U.S. trading partner. A major check on executive power!

Inconceivable indeed …🔻

#BlackHistoryMonth #Chutzpah! I finally got a copy of this pamphlet from the US Info Service (aka Cold War US propaganda), The N*gro in Amer. Life, signaled by @marydudziak.bsky.social. This is *1950*, as millions in the South were disenfranchised & terrorized🗃️ But let's not be "extreme."

Textbook. If you are surprised, it is because this shit usually, at least not in the last 150 years, does not happen in the US. And the past is mild in comparison

Hundreds rally today at president house in Philadelphia, PA as several organizations are suing the Convicted FElon's executive order about slavery that removed signs about Washington's slaves. People are trying to bring the signs back. www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...

So let me get this straight, we have created a 9-5 world where people who work 9-5 are unable to use the other services due to their hours ALSO being 9-5? Good job, everyone. We did it. We've created a hellscape for all but retirees.

“The f*ck are we doing?”

The Trump administration has finalized a rule that reclassifies tens of thousands of federal positions in a way that removes long-standing job protections and makes it easier to fire or discipline those workers.

It’s a federal fuckin crime if ICE does try. And it is all about fear and intimidation. This bullshit needs to fuckin’ stop. Show up and vote these fuckers OUT. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

Stephen Miller, Trump’s Deputy Chief of Staff and puppet master, is complaining about unelected judges making rulings he doesn’t like. Funny, I don’t recall Stephen Miller getting elected to any office. He didn’t even have to be nominated and confirmed for his position. Pot. Kettle. Black.

Trisha was a Texas delegate for Trump

"take over the voting, nationalize the voting" alarmed yet?

Jesus. Fucking. Christ. I don't say this often, but rest in peace. What a giant in life and entertainment. What a loss. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Marco Rubio has many titles, except when it’s time to take accountability. He may be the Secretary of State, but Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are negotiating with foreign leaders behind his back. When did the Senate confirm them as our representatives on the world stage?

As an aside; Three issues in and I am enjoying the hell out of this. #comics #comicart madcavestudios.com/news/to-kill...

ICE is upset that ICE isn't welcome in restaurants after ICE ordered food at a restaurant, ate it, then arrested restaurant employees, and ICE believes this is someone else's fault, do I have that right?

We would tend to lean Tim’s way on this one

It truly never ends the behavior of a sore loser in real time. FBI agents executed a search warrant at an election center in Fulton County, Georgia, marking a major escalation in the administration’s campaign against a jurisdiction Trump has obsessively targeted since losing the state in 2020.

"Lead poisoning is the reason why there were so many serial killers in the late 20th century." Tired. Old hat. "The overconsumption of processed foods increases one's susceptibility to conservative brainwashing." Fresh. Hip.

The cracks in the GOP are widening.

Asylum seeker detained by ICE on Friday had no criminal history in Maine, attorney says * Free to access

On my 40th birthday, I rewatch my comfort film for the 10,000th time: Return of the Living Dead (1985). My favorite narrative fact? Being bitten by a zombie in this film doesn't turn you. The Trioxin in the rain does. Otherwise, suicide would have turned in Uneeda's basement.

A "leader" who conducts international "diplomancy" via a post on his personal shoddy social media platform, that other leaders need a staff to alert them to his rantings so they are aware of his demented thoughts & messages, is not a leader. He's a needy lunatic playacting as a serious politician.

Congratulations to Russia and China. You did it! 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 USA will never be looked at as a trusted partner and ally in the world ever again, by any sane or decent country. You spent years propping up the idiot occupying the Whitehouse, and it is working.

We just saw this, and it’s a good idea for businesses to post. Private businesses are allowed to set dress and conduct rules. Requiring no full face coverings has long been standard for safety and loss prevention reasons, and it is within a business’s rights to refuse entry or service.

I took a class on the politics of shit (really) years ago and sewer socialism rocks

Do you feel overwhelmed? Tired? Exhausted with the constant news cycle? I want you to know: that's their goal. They want you checked out. They want you burnt out. I get it. I feel it. Take a break, but don't give up. When you give up, they win.

Alpha News?!? He shared it with Alpha News?!? Oh Y'all, we are at *GAME ON*!!! Alpha News's "big name reporter" is Liz Collin. What those of you *not* "Terminally Online" don't realize, is that Liz Collin, currently of Alpha News, and formerly of Legit MN News station WCCO?

America is Gotham City at the moment. There is no Batman coming to save us. We need to build communities again and remember the oath they made us repeat: "With liberty and justice FOR ALL." Justice swings both ways. Justice for the victim. And justice done to the convicted.
