"Biggest scam in modern political history."

The truth of it.

BREAKING: Bruce Springsteen just announced that his band will be doing a tour in effort to fight back against Donald Trump's authoritarian overreach. The Boss is back! Great. Bring down the ICE

Republicans are not fiscal conservatives and they never were.

what he said ⬇️

Marco Rubio admits the war is to serve Israel. “There was absolutely an imminent threat and it was that we knew that if Iran was attacked and we believe that they would be attacked, that they would immediately come after us and we were not going to sit there and absorb a blow”

‘While the EV shift is accelerating, Australia is slow by global standards. Even as electricity rapidly goes green, transport remains overwhelmingly dependent on foreign oil. That leaves Australia exposed.’ #auspol It’s time ditch dependence on fossil fuels‼️ theconversation.com/the-strikes-...

theconversation.com/neither-pree... "The international legal order is now in free-fall. When powerful states conduct illegal wars under the guise of prevention, weaponise diplomacy as cover, and openly pursue regime change, the “rules-based order” is literally dead."

"The Peace President." [Cartoon by Benjamin Slyngstad]

Seems to be the pattern…

74 HOURS. That's all it took for #DictatorDon to go from bragging about all the wars he had "ended" (actual number: 0) during his #SotU Address, to launching an unapproved & unprovoked attack upon #Iran for a nuclear capability he insisted he "obliterated" just 8 months ago.

thanks MAGA for unleashing this lunatic on the world. because, you know, you weren't happy with the price of eggs and gas. 🙄

When corporate media obeys in advance, authoritarianism wins & the truth loses. This cowardice from CBS — & the Admin's weaponization of the FCC — threatens our 1st Amendment rights. We must not be silent as corporations keep bowing down to Trump. We must call them out.

“These crimes were committed against a backdrop of supremacist beliefs, racism, corruption, extreme misogyny, and the commodification and dehumanisation of women and girls from different parts of the world,” the experts said. #epsteinfiles

"People want the government to spend less, but they want to spend more on Social Security Security, Medicare, welfare, and defense? THAT’S MOST OF THE FEDERAL BUDGET."

As it appears enough of the Liberals will sufficiently succumb to madness to endorse him as their next hapless leader, here's a piece I wrote way back in 2021 about the many and varied and still unexplained controversies that have swirled around Angus Taylor. theshot.net.au/news/opinion...

A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

Between seizing ballots in Georgia, trying to leverage Minnesota to turn over its sensitive voter data, and political prosecutions, the DOJ is laying the groundwork to subvert the 2026 elections. I created Democracy Docket for times like this. Help it grow by supporting it now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Australians are told we have shared values with the USA. We’re told we NEED to be in alliances with the US for our security. I say, we do NOT share these values. The USA cannot be trusted. We should drop our relationships either this toxic, brutal, dangerous entity. Ditch AUKUS.

Not sure when #Talarico made this video, but his message is evergreen. The media is fixated on the wrong 1%

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia. Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.” Really listen to it.

TEXAS CAN GERRYMANDER ALL THEY WANT, BUT THE RIGHT KIND OF POLITICIAN WILL STILL WIN. James Talarico, Texas State Representative, former middle school teacher, and Presbyterian seminarian running for the U.S. Senate to take power back for working people. 🗽

"Only when the last tree has been cut, the last river has been poisoned & the last fish been caught will they realize that they can't eat money" old Cree proverb

It’s about racism and pretending it’s not about racism will not magically erase the racism

"The bamboozle has captured us.”

Not just excess, it’s a system built to keep people hungry so the rich can keep feasting. But the masses are waking up. Powerful video…

'At 4C scientists predict 90% of the world’s population could die. We’re on track to hit 4C within our childrens’ lifetimes. 7,000,000,000+ avoidable deaths. Waiting for a journalist to ask a politician about this.' via Climate Dad [X] #GlobalWarming #ClimateCrisis #Collapse #Extinction
