The only thing our taxes seem to pay for anymore is state violence that is more often than not wielded against us, be it the military or the dozens of "law enforcement" agencies. How is that any different than a mob protection racket?

This is the way.

According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information. Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?

The Golden Age.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere. It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

You're going to want to sit down and take a deep breath before you read this. A regulated monopoly is actively working to prevent competition. I know, it's hard to believe. But it's true. www.utilitydive.com/news/solicit...

The Citizens United decision has corrupted our government and is destroying our democracy. Here's a way to get rid of it. robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-get...

Koh: This is not about justice. This is about power. This is about a Secretary of Defense so drunk off alpha male bullshit that he's willing to take lives to get off on that power.

"When there’s no war, you aren’t committing war crimes when you kill people indiscriminately. You’re just a straight-up murderer."

The Oxford English Dictionary has named “rage bait” its phrase of the year. Rage has become a valuable commodity. How to make rage less profitable? Here are five remedies. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-monetization-of-rage

Since I haven’t seen anyone mention this: When the U.S. commits war crimes it puts our troops in danger also, as it gives a green light to other countries that they can do the same to us

No! What matters is we are the United States, not Russia and North Korea, you idiot Thune.

Thanks again dog people.. what a good hang out with your pets.. feel free to posts cats birds.. literally any animal.. if you have goats and or baby goats, you are obligated to take a video and post it. In this case I do make the rules

This hypocrisy is shameful. - U.S. politicians enjoy universal healthcare. - Living wages. - Paid sick leave, too. But they vote NO for workers on all three. Vote OUT anti-worker politicians (Dems & GOP). Vote in public servants committed to justice above all else

Maybe, just maybe, if the FBI counterterrorism desk hadn't been retasked to chasing abuelitas, somebody might've followed up on the tips...

In Massachusetts, 74% of working-age recipients of food stamps are employed, half of them full-time. Nearly 2,500 work for Amazon and another 2,300 work for Walmart. Uber, DoorDash and Tempus Unlimited each have more than 1,400 workers who rely on SNAP www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/28/m...

A leaked 115 page report by current & former FBI personnel describes the bureau under Kash Patel as a “rudderless ship” & says he is “in over his head,” lacking the experience & bearing needed to be an effective FBI director—

Normally the creators of beloved children’s cartoon characters would not need to disavow the U.S. Secretary of Defense, but ours is a drunken miscreant, a loutish boor with the dignity and nobility of a counterfeit butt-plug

I'm mostly trying to stay out of US politics rn but the whole Sec of War doing the example of an illegal order to bomb drug dealers and start a war for oil whilst the Prez pardons a drug dealer is a pretty impressive shitstorm

Do it. Take these to another grand jury. Then a 2nd and a 3rd, until we get a breaking news story about how much you suck at this. And if you do manage to get a true bill, we can watch you lose again in pretrial motions. Do it! I live to watch you lose! www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

As a constitutional representative democracy, WE THE PEOPLE relegate power to a group of people to execute public services at all levels of governmental institutions on our behalf. When these institutions falter, our organized resistance must be erected to correct all the wrongs.

The worst part about the boat strikes - regardless of who ordered what and besides the ultimate tragedy of lives lost - is they’re forever a stain on the professionalism and dignity of the United States military. They’re an insult to every American who ever sacrificed to do the right thing.

I just woke up to the best news: I was named to Forbes 30 under 30 on their list of media professionals! Truly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping me get here. Special thank you to those who subscribe to The Parnas Perspective: aaronparnas.substack.com

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

The President of the United States should know which part of his body was MRI'd. Raping anyone is horrid. Raping children is horrifying. War crimes are bad. But it's not war. So it's murder. Murder is bad. The Gestapo were the baddies. Obeying illegal orders is illegal. FFS. #RemoveTrump

🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: Russia started this war and Russia is the only country that can stop this war.

These boat strikes will be nothing compared to the war crimes they will commit after they initiate regime change to seize Venezuelan oil companies.

“…it is also prohibited to conduct hostilities on the basis that there shall be no survivors…” —Department of Defense Law of War Manual, 5.4.6.2 "For example, orders to fire upon the shipwrecked would be clearly illegal.” —Department of Defense Law of War Manual, 18.3.2.1
