So: Livable minimum wages: 😈 Socialism! Buyers' cartel for raw materials: 😇 A-OK. www.reuters.com/business/fin...

The best 0$ I've ever spent!

Fifth columnists using the Trumpist playbook. To say that hatred against Russians is as bad as antisemitism follows the same pattern as saying all lives matter: totally correct and completely wrong. It isn't said for the actual statement but for the silent premise which is wrong, but hard to attack.

A weak dollar means working Americans can consume less and companies can sell more. www.npr.org/2026/01/30/n...

The war can't be won by resistance on the street, by voting, or calling your representatives (though that's all necessary). None of that will lead to the change in public opinion that would bring the kind of political momentum needed for actual change. How do you break into voters' info bubbles?

Look, not all Epsteins are bad (come to think of it - must be a weird time to be called 'Epstein')! He would have wanted to see those files, too!

Hey NRA, are you good with this? THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

So, guns do kill people after all?

As we ascerting our independence as a union of European countries from both Russia and the US, it will be crucial to remember WHY we want to be independent. It is because we believe in individual freedoms, in the common good, and in cooperation (with the willing) instead of confrontation.

Iceland and Greenland are one and the same island, and they have been called Trumpland and only Trumpland since a US boat first arrived there 500 years ago under My orders to make it our beautiful 53rd state.

This is some serious racist shit: RFK has study funded that would deny Hepatitis B birth vaccination from one group of newborns in West African country where Hep B incidence is 11% and care isn't great. Not to see if its effective, but to study side effects. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Ever been to Arnold's LinkedIn Profile? Highly recommended. "Beat the Predator"

BTW, why is it, "just comply with illegal orders, and you won't be dead. Sue afterwards," but not "just don't stand in front of a car and you won't be run over. Arrest afterwards"?

Edible Tide pods?

So let me get this straight. The man who tore down the East Wing of the White House in order to build an oversized ballroom that no one asked for has launched an investigation into Jerome Powell over renovations to the Federal Reserve headquarters. Did I get that right?

Humans are amazing. I St saw a clip where a bartender taught a patron that a bartender calling him "babe" was not the love of his life, just doing her job. But if it wasn't supposed to make him feel just a little bit like she's the love of his life, there would be no point in saying it.

That's a very effective way to weed out all the less-crazy ones.

... for some value of "not", "tolerate", "political", and, most of all, "violence".

Punishing stores that already carry some a significant amount of whole foods and accept SNAP* ** * assuming there are any ** if taken at face value

Ramstein. We've accepted the US conducting questionable missions from there, including SIGINT likely on EU targets, because the US is an ally and wouldn't do anything seriously against our interests. Someone should tell certain people that that calculus is challenging.

After WWII, it was Americans who made sure Germans knew exactly which crimes had been committed and by whom, so they couldn't just forget and pretend it really hadn't been all that bad and other people did it anyway. Who will do that for USA once this is over?

A good way to honor January 6th is just to reshare a bunch of the video from it so you can experience again the immediate visceral reaction to an attack on America.

There are a lot of "points when it all went wrong", but my favorite is when we'd started to accept (correctly) that good leaders could be different from the white, rich, straight, Christian men from 'good families', who dressed and talked the right way and had the right kind of education, 🧵

I apologize to all Americans who "aren't", but America as a whole, not just Trump, is that rich kid who no-one's ever said 'no' to, growing up.

Merz needs to resign. Saying the legal situation surrounding the US invasion of Venezuela was "complex" is morally bankrupt, craven and historically and politically short-sighted.

It will take so many changes to life and politics in the US, so many uncomfortable questions and unpleasant answers about what the US is, what's still true and what hasn't been for a long time about it to clean up this mess when the Dems are back in power. I mean, there will be a cleanup, right?!?

Trump isn't a Christian. He isn't NOT a Christian. I'm sure he's never given religion a serious thought. Because it's not just about him.

Couldn't they just put the new ones on the side, release the ones they've had, and THEN go through that new stash?

We're seeing why Unified Executive Theory is so wrong: If the head of the executive branch can * fire anyone who does not agree with them and * pardon anyone who follows their illegal orders, then orders by the Judiciary against the Executive and laws governing the Executive become meaningless.

Show of hands: whose crazy aunt thinks DJT is spending his time doing what he does best, for the country?

Saddened by the passing of his good friend, Saruman, Sir Elton John re-rendered one of his classics, and Sarumans favorites: Hold me Closer, Necromancer.

The Ministry of Truth has spoken. JFC - drugs are bad, but they aren't weapons! By attacking language, they attack independent thought, and by attacking independent thought, they attack opposition. Resist!

The most unselfconscious sentence I've ever read: "It is a librarian in a pair of horn-rimmed spectacles, snobbishly shushing the workers outside." (About the EU) Snobbish, is it? From: www.nationalreview.com/2025/12/euro...

DJT has never been interested in a thriving Europe - he has said so himself. So, why would anyone believe a word of concern for Europe, coming from his administration? When they say we shouldn't do X, then X is something they think is hurting their interests, not ours.

Breaking --- Plans for Peace in Ukraine Almost Settled --- Few Details Remain (which are exactly the details that have been open since the start of the war, the ones where Russian demands and Ukrainian vital interests are diametrically opposed)

Hartes Schicksal: wenn man als Feuerwehrfrau eine Angst vor Spritzen entwickelt. 😜

Say what you will about Trump, but his loyalty cannot be bought. He is not loyal to anyone or anything.

That is exactly it.

The problem with centrists is that the center is on the wrong side of history.

Communication that is not grounded in facts but only in the effect it has on the receiver becomes irrelevant - noise, in information theory. And so, anything coming from US institutions under Trump becomes noise and a rational agent should disregard it completely.

Yeah... Let's talk about each other's policies...

It's so good to see that enough people in the US still care about legality and the lives of non-Americans for the boat strikes to become a real problem for Hegseth. I couldn't have predicted that.

Totally possible, but... Why would anyone believe anything the FDA says, these days?

Maybe Obama's greatest sin in office was /celebrating/ killing bin Laden. Killing a vile human being who is a danger to innocent people without a trial, in a foreign country without that country's consent, outside of war may be defensible, but you should lament having to do it, not celebrate it.

Someone was strong enough to lift the big weights but too much of a wuzz to put them back 🙄

Anybody remember when this guy told us, by 2199, people will have darkened the skies to starve AIs which relied on solar power? That seems much less unlikely today than it did then.
