There are very few Zero Sum situations in real life. One of the few is immigration. One country gets ahead and the others loses. We tend to take the top achievers and the most determined individuals from other countries on average.

I've got a new personal policy on watching YouTube videos. I will allow ads to play in a video I am watching until they show me a scam. When they do, I will immediately move over to the browser with an ad blocker that completely skips their ads.

I don't like Chuck Schumer. I don't pretend to. ... but, well played, sir I have to give people credit when they do something that is well thought out and noteworthy. This sure beats a strongly worded letter. www.youtube.com/shorts/LL5hv...

This is hilarious!! Listen to the end. 😂 youtube.com/shorts/IuFQ5...

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said the Trump administration is exploring prosecuting CNN for reporting on an iPhone app that alerts users to Immigrant and Customs Enforcement agents in their area. It’s called ICEBlock 😂 www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Meanwhile mainstream press repeats the police claims that they were attacked first, despite their own reporters who were present saying they saw the police initiate it.

"If you incite violence or destroy our communities, you're going to be held to account. That kind of criminal behavior will not be tolerated, full stop" -- Gavin Newsom So when are you charging the cops? We've seen their actions.

AOC: “The girls are fighting, aren’t they?”

... and since he was convicted she probably can't be found guilty of defamation, LOL

This is absolutely ridiculous. The fact that he's always been addled isn't a defense for not having done something already. but... oh, if he gets /worse/ than absolutely batshit, then do you promise to do something? The media needs to stop giving trump a pass. www.rawstory.com/trump-declin...

Take a few minutes for this one—because you might need FEMA in the near future, and you need to know what’s currently going on. Or not going on. Thank you, @repjasmine.bsky.social for telling it straight, sounding the alarm, and sharing how we can help.

Marco Rubio KNOWS all of this is wrong. He's even said so himself, previously. But, he's still going to kiss trump's ass publicly and do as he's told, knowing it's wrong. Absolute lack of morals and a spine. People like this should be nowhere near power. www.youtube.com/shorts/rPUZ4...

These are not detainments—they are kidnappings. These are not deportations—they are human trafficking. These are not detention centers—they are concentration camps. Language matters. This is fascism.

-15 is INSANELY high given his recent record. WTF is wrong with Americans? www.cnn.com/polling/appr...

Tr*mp’s popularity is going down so fast that he’s losing elections in other countries 🤣

So, did DOGE count the food deliveries that trump cancelled AFTER they were already paid for as part of the governmental waste they were "finding"? yeaah, didn't think so

Saw videos from Charlie Kirk poppin up in my Facebook feed today. No problem, I'll just block him. Facebook won't let me block the profile. What new fuckery is this? Now they're amplifying channels that we can't block?

You want the good news about Elon's election interference in Wisconsin? Better than the fact that it failed? If they press charges, it's a state crime. trump can't give him a pardon.

I don't think what Cory Brokker just did on the Senate floor over 15 hours was purely performative. I think he just tangibly showed the world that he cares and is willing to stand up. It matters. Will enough Democratic "leaders follow suit in some meaningful way?

This is a critical point everybody in the media should be amplifying:

The truth about vouchers is they won't pay enough for a majority of parents to put their kids into private schools. It offsets the rich parents' expenses fairly nicely though. Mostly the ones that can already afford it. I went to private schools growing up, that we couldn't really afford.

It recently occurred to me that some people that claim to believe exclusively in meritocracy seem to have flipped the definition. In meritocracy people are rewarded for hard work and abilities. Colloquially it equates to people will succeed if the work hard.

Who had America as the bad guys in WWIII? There's a plot twist I wouldn't have see coming, but maybe I shouldn't be so surprised?

It absolutely is not. Zelensky undersrands it is no game at all.

I think it's funny as hell that DOGE thinks they found proof of fraud in benefit recipients 150 years old and ran "to press" with that. What they actually found and broadcast was the fact that they were incompetent in dealing with legacy code written in COBOL with a default year of 1875 when blank.

Super effective messaging, AND... about time. Dems need more to the point messaging. The days of politeness in the face of tyranny need to be over. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eac2...

Please consider this!

Why are people suddenly talking about separation of powers but ignoring the critical role checks and balances plays in that concept? Is this a new conservative talking point that I missed? Checks and balances is THE cornerstone within our constitution, so that no branch can amass unchecked power.

Welp, Inflation numbers came out... it's up. So much for yet another miraculous fix trump promised.

Gotta hand it to George Lucas. I always thought his dialog was hot garbage, but Padme's comment about liberty dying nailed it. Although I admit to falling prey to the Mandela Effect and remembering as democracy rather than liberty. www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1FF...

Let's all be perfectly clear. We can support auditing government waste and still insist on doing it with proper security protocols and background checks for EVERYONE that will have access to the data. There is absolutely zero excuse for doing this in a cowboy, sloppy, and illegal manner.

I saw a post claiming that Elon has found a bit over 500billlion in wasted spending for programs that were no longer active... That's amazing considering there's only about 700 billion in discretionary spending that isn't defense related. So he's claiming nearly 3/4 of those are expired programs?

wow, this aged badly www.youtube.com/shorts/f2XHe...

One word: Treason!

Trump is a uniter. All parties hate him in Canada.

I know it's water under the bridge, but I really wish that the Democratic party leadership had not thwarted the will of the voters and allowed their top candidate to run. I believe that decision is a LARGE part of why trump happened.

Bets on how soon the right, or at least trump, embraces taking guns?
