THEY CLOSED PUBLIC POOLS RATHER THAN SWIM WITH BLACK PEOPLE YOU ARE DEALING WITH THE SAME GROUP OF PEOPLE AS THE FOLKS WHO DID THIS PLEASE WAKE THE FUCK UP

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better." Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better. Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand. We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance However, they are weaker than they look…

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

Why are the flags not being flown at half-staff for the victims of this weekend's multiple mass shootings? Why has POTUS not made a public address in their honor & condemned the violence? Where is the wall-to-wall coverage by the media? Apparently, their lives mean less than a podcaster’s.

I don’t even like James Comey, but this is so wrong. Let’s start indicting Supreme Court justices who blatantly lied to Congress

He should be in jail.

Fascism has arrived in America: The seven tactics of an authoritarian. 😳👇

According to the New York Times, "The text exchange between Mr. Robinson and his partner was reproduced by prosecutors in the charging document." Reproduced? So no one has seen the actual messages? No screen shots? No time stamps? Also, weren't they on Discord and not SMS? 1/

Senator Bill Cassidy has just announced that Senator Mullen (R, verbal abuser and liar) has admitted he LIED when he said the meeting between Dr. Monarez and RFK Jr. was recorded. She stood by her testimony in the face of these lies and abuse. Mullen should be removed from office for this.

Frost: We need housing not handcuffs. We have a housing crisis in this country. Every time the rent goes up $100, homelessness goes up 9%… We shouldn’t be criminalizing homeless people for the failures of government

The US president trafficked & raped underage girls, the evidence is overwhelming, everyone knows it, and this country's elites & institutions are so broken, so insular, so decadent that we can't even bring ourselves to state it clearly, much less do anything about it. Contemptible & pathetic.

Rand Paul argues to Will Cain that killing people withou process is bad: "Let's say there's a house in your neighborhood & they're selling fentanyl & thousands of people have died & you're mad, do you go over there and just kill them or burn them? No, you go to a judge and you get a warrant."

At this point abolishing ICE and reforming the Supreme Court have to be non-negotiables for every 2028 Dem.

If you're a reporter, please stop referring to RFK Jr and his cronies as "vaccine skeptics." They're not skeptical. Skepticism would be fine. Skeptics look at evidence and can be persuaded. These people are extremist anti-vaccine cranks, and that's how news organizations should describe them.

NEWS Charles Munger Jr, the son of the late Charlie Munger, Warren Buffett’s business partner, has put in another $10 million into the campaign against Gavin Newsom’s redistricting initiative. Munger has contributed $30 million so far in just the last three weeks.

Yep. That’s definitely his signature alright.

Trump's own fingerprints and blood and semen could be found on that fucking letter, and they'd still deny it was from him. Because that's what they do. They lie. They keep daring legacy media to call them liars, and most of legacy media shrugs and says: "It's all so complicated."

Kennedy’s vaccine crusade isn’t about health...it’s about sowing chaos. Confusion equals control. Repeat until it’s tattooed on your brain: It. Is. Part. Of. The. Op. To. Destabilize. The. United. States.

I am not seeing "Constitutional amendment reversing Citizens United" on any of these New Reconstruction wishlists folks are circulating, and. Absent starting over from scratch, I don't see us establishing any semblance of democracy here without that plus Supreme Court expansion.

Political theater.

Today's ISM survey commentary is fun: "Tariffs continue to wreak havoc" "There is absolutely no activity in the transportation equipment industry. This is 100 percent attributable to current tariff policy. "We are also in stagflation: Prices are up due to material tariffs, but volume is way off.”

🤡

"Why should I care about U.S. Space Command being transferred to Alabama? I hate the military-industrial complex. We spend too much money on defense. Why does it matter which rich people get richer off it?" There are a number of reasons you should care, but you really only need one. (thread)

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

A federal judge has ordered Florida to shut down "Alligator Alcatraz," after the state spent a staggering $218M to build the now-vacant detention camp. Closing it will run taxpayers another $20M. An utterly cruel and costly waste.

You’re saying that telling your constituents they don’t need healthcare because they’re gonna die anyway isn’t winning politics?

Wise decision

Don’t look away

Just admit it: You love your guns more than your children. The first step is acknowledging the problem.

As long as guns are easily available to crazy people, mass killings directed at so-called soft targets will continue. This is a fact. Countries where it's more difficult for crazy people to obtain guns have less shootings. This is also a fact. Do with these facts as you will.

Here he goes.

A cult of personality. What could go wrong?

Jesus fucking H Christ.

BREAKING: Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey JUST CALLED FOR a statewide and federal ban on assault weapons. Who’s with him?

Over here in Europe, many people in many countries get these medications more or less for free, yet there are almost no mass shootings. Or shootings, full stop, as compared to US figures. I’m thinking the medicines might not be the cause of all the dead American kids.

This is what we keep saying. It costs LESS to do the RIGHT THING. What a damn waste of money. www.newsweek.com/ron-desantis...

Refusing to act, then falsely accusing those who want to see something tangible done to protect kids of attacking prayer on top of it, is doubly shameless.

GOV. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social : “Facts are stubborn things… Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas…. Alabama is a top 3 murder state. Where is the President? — He isn’t focused on crime & violence. It’s about an expression of authoritarianism.” (H/T @acyn.bsky.social )

Hi, immunologist here: (a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes) RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation” That’s NOT how immunology works. He is an anti-science profiteer. Start calling him such.

i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.

Do you know how insane and infuriating it is to live in a country where one party claims, with media and public support, the mantle of being the ‘tough on crime’ party while its leader openly calls for convicted criminals to be released from prison ‘or else’?

We did it.

Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations. The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

Novo Nordisk’s move to cut the price of Ozempic to $499 for the uninsured is a modest step forward, but let’s not forget. Ozempic costs just $59 in Germany while it costs less than $5 to make. The U.S. must no longer pay the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs.
