If you are wealthy, I think you should spend more money on clothes. There's no pride in buying clothes for the lowest possible price, as this puts downward pressure on garment worker wages and increases the likelihood of exploitation.

Trump's Great American State Fair is as empty as Trump's jockstrap.

Tens of millions of voters have had their data run through the Trump administration's revamped SAVE tool. A judge just found it unlawful. n.pr/4vW4pGs

CBS News fired longtime “60 Minutes” correspondent Scott Pelley on Tuesday, a day after he reportedly said Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss was “murdering the show.”

Immigrants are frequently being sent all over the country, and families and attorneys often don’t know where they are.

“For decades, this part of Fort Worth has languished as nothing more than a loving community for African American families and a bustling hub for Black-owned businesses,” said Mayor Mattie Parker

We are here "Idiocracy"

A federal judge on Wednesday ordered the Otay Mesa Detention Center to allow San Diego County health inspectors access to the 1,400-bed facility, siding with local officials over the federal government in an ongoing legal feud. cal.news/4fr8opF 📸 Adriana Heldiz

The Trump administration is deploying aggressive legal tactics to prevent its top customs official from appearing in court under oath to explain why $166 billion in illegally collected tariffs remain undispersed to businesses owed refunds.

President Trump signed an executive order reclassifying about 8,000 senior federal workers and making it easier to fire them for any reason, despite criticism that the move would politicize the civil service.

Do not stop talking, discussing, demanding the release of ALL the Epstein files.

In case you forgot the danger women and girls are in in America. Red=illegal and no exception for victims of rape, incest, and some times medical necessity. Also, woman can be jailed for having a miscarriage!

The public DOES have a right to know.

So it turns out paying people a living wage doesn’t collapse the economy; it’s almost like the rich have been lying to us to maintain their power over our lives.

In his first 100 days, Zohran Mamdani has: -Delivered millions in restitution for workers cheated by gig companies -Cracked down on predatory landlords -Launched the first stage of a universal childcare program -Fixed thousands of potholes in NYC streets This is what leadership looks like.

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations: Alphabet: 8.01% AT&T: 4.6% Meta: 3.57% General Motors: 3.09% Amazon: 1.37% Exxon Mobil: 1.31% Disney: -1.57% CVS Health: -3.88% Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5% This is what a rigged system looks like.

Until then, the inmates are running the asylum!

Because Gen Z and Alpha are facing unprecedented housing costs, climate instability, and the erosion of bodily autonomy, their courage to do the work to rewrite the social contract necessary to survive this regime, may be born out of necessity.

If Gen Z & Alpha will succeed making a better America depends on three critical factors: 1. Demographic Inevitability-by 2045, the U.S. is projected to become a "minority-majority" country 2. Digital Mobilization vs. Disinformation 3. Economic Reality of wealth inequality & climate instability.

There is a historical pattern—called the "backlash cycle"—where progress, like the election of the first Black president, triggers a violent reassertion of white supremacy. We're seeing that "vengeance" play out now. Repeal of DEI, tightening of voting rights, & overt return of nationalist rhetoric.

Can the generational shift finally dismantle the foundational racism that has defined the American experiment since its inception?

It's essentially a feedback loop: the less people understand the system, the easier they are to manipulate; the more they are manipulated, the less they care about the system.

The "Inmate" Effect - When people feel unheard or "left behind," they are more likely to support "disruptors"—people who promise to burn the system down—even if those leaders have criminal records or disregard the Constitution.

Fear - It is much easier to bypass someone's "critical thinking" by triggering their "fight or flight" response. By framing every issue as an existential threat (e.g., "they are coming for your way of life"), leaders can get people to support things that are actually against their own interests.

Emotional Manipulation over Logic - Political strategy has shifted from policy debates to identity-based warfare.

Civic Illiteracy - A 2023 survey found that nearly half of Americans cannot name the three branches of government. If you don't understand how the checks and balances are supposed to work, you won't recognize when they are being dismantled.

The Erosion of Civic Education Critical thinking is a skill that has to be taught, and the American education system has moved away from it. Teaching to the Test: Decades of focus on standardized testing have prioritized rote memorization over logic, philosophy, and civics.

The Algorithm Trap - Social media doesn't give you the news; it gives you what will keep you angry and clicking. This creates "echo chambers" where people are never challenged to think critically because they only see information that confirms their existing bias.

The Death of the "Shared Reality" - In the past, people might disagree on solutions, but they agreed on the facts.

It definitely feels like the "idiocracy" is winning most days. The "inmates running the asylum" vibe comes from a perfect storm of factors that have made critical thinking a rare commodity. It feels like the country has lost its collective mind.

We aren’t waiting for, or expecting, anyone to save us. Some will help a little and try to take credit. We The People—nobody else—will hold them to account. Every government body, every official. WE ARE SOVEREIGN. Courts, military, elected officials are our SERVANTS.

WOW! 👏Philly DA Larry Krasner: “This is a small bunch of wannabe Nazis in a country of 350 million. We outnumber them. If we have to hunt you down the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will. We will find you. We will achieve justice.” #ICEoffOurStreets

This is the way: NJ Gov. @mikiesherrill.bsky.social said her administration will create an online database for people to upload videos they record of ICE “If you see an ICE agent in the street, get your phone out,” she urged New Jerseyans www.nj.com/politics/202...

If the president cannot be sued while in office, then the president should not be able to file suit while in office. Fair is fair.

I wonder how the 7 NAZI COLLABORATORS in the Democratic Party feel today after voting to fund another ICE-administered execution? How's it feel @tomsuozzi.bsky.social, Rep Henry Cuellar, Rep Don Davis, Rep Laura Gillen, Rep Vicente Gonzalez, @golden.house.gov, and @gluesenkampperez.house.gov?

These may be the two most critical images from the latest killing by CBP in Minneapolis.

PLEASE WATCH: Video posted so far from today’s killing in Minneapolis shows the victim recording video with his smartphone, coming to the aid of two women and trying to stand between them and an ICE agent. He does not show a gun at all. Then, I count 10 shots.

IMO: ICE shot a VA ICU nurse while he was on the ground, unarmed, recently pepper sprayed and thrown to the ground, under multiple ICE agents. This was an execution of an American citizen who stopped to assist a woman ICE had thrown to the ground. US is officially a 3rd world country.

Disgusting, distressing, absolutely reprehensible and horrific. How dare these people and there supervisors, up to the oval office, think this is acceptable. Just know this, if protests turn physical, he will declare marshall law and cancel the mid-terms. Tis the reason for ICE unlawful acts.

Gavin Newsom just announced that California will be the first state to join the World Health Organization. This is in direct defiance of Donald Trump, who just pulled the United States out of the organization.
