It's like the rich that made their money in/off of California, now moving HQs and themselves away. We are good enough to make money on, but heaven forbid do I put money back into these areas or even live there anymore no sense of #community Thiel's Move to Argentina share.google/1M6LMZgTAJ4s...

Blaming voters alone ignores the system they’re forced to operate within. People make choices under conditions shaped by propaganda, media narratives, economic pressure, gerrymandering, voter suppression, money in politics, and parties that often narrow what’s considered “acceptable” debate.

In 2015, #Paxton was indicted on securities fraud charges, but cut a deal in 2024. In 2023, he was impeached for bribery, dereliction of duty and disregard of official duties by the GOP-majority #Texas House of Representatives in a 121-23 vote #clownsandcriminals www.cbsnews.com/news/texas-s...

It’s really frightening.

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” - Theodore Roosevelt

How is this farce of a do nothing government still going on? It's as if the system that protects incompetent white men and women in power was built to protect incompetent white men and women to stay in power.

So much for the reflection/respect of the lives given in support of the ideals and values of our country. The men and women who lost their lives to defend and protect our country would be horrified by the protection by this administration of these traitors #memorialday apnews.com/article/just...

Data centers' impact on energy and water supply is well documented, but a series of new studies have revealed another potential impact.

NEW: Months before the $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund was announced, Ed Martin predicted Capitol rioters would get millions, even if it took until 2028, two people told NBC News.

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 —

This should be of concern to every American.

"72% of the white population is put into one district. 75% of the Black population is carved into two,” Sen. Jeff Yarbro of Nashville said. “We are being asked to believe that it’s just the luck of the draw, just happenstance.” Within hours of a new congressional map passing, the NAACP filed suit.

I don't understand how any minority could support the #GOP. The #Republicans and #scotus have turned on them and the people of this country. When whites are no longer a majority in the US (it's only 59% now), this will come back to bite them in the butt big time. apnews.com/article/supr...

When you go to the gas station this week, just remember that Trump and Hegseth are having a great time with the war. Big joke.

This will sound very nerdy, but when I was a kid, I revered the Supreme Court. If they could rule unanimously against segregation in 1954—when the two other branches of government would *never* have been brave enough—I thought they're the lone voice of good. That is all trashed now. They're garbage.
