Giving billionaires and corporations the green light to buy our elections. Making it easier for polluters to destroy the planet. Stripping millions of reproductive freedom. Granting presidents immunity. Gutting the protections of the Voting Rights Act. The shame of the John Roberts court.

The federal government has turned over evidence from the shooting death of Renee Good by ICE agent Jonathan Ross to a magistrate judge in U.S. District Court for Minnesota, according to an attorney involved in a case tangential to Ross. www.startribune.com/federal-gove...

Yet another reason on the already long list of why we can't have nice things...

The FDA has blocked the release of three studies demonstrating the safety of vaccinations for coronavirus and shingles. The studies in question — which cost millions of dollars and were conducted by agency-based scientists — found that serious side effects from the vaccines were very rare.

Reminder that the Trump DOJ and the FBI know the names of every single person who raped children on Epstein Island and have chosen not to prosecute a single one of them. Not a single one.

If you saw this happening in another country, what would you call it? https://newrepublic.com/post/210013/fbi-investigation-atlantic-reporter-kash-patel-drinking

The secretive contracts between FIFA and U.S. World Cup host cities offer few details about costs to taxpayers. “These cities are going to invest a lot of money in hosting FIFA, and the people who are paying for that should know,” one expert said. With @houstonchronicle.com @texastribune.org

This is Darwin working his magic. Folks who reject basic science don't deserve these poor kids who were never given a chance. Lots of people have to learn the hard way. Let Darwin win.

Heartland Institute climate deniers want to repeal of the 17th Amendment, which would strip away direct elections of U.S. senators and hand that power to state legislatures.

A House Democrat has introduced a bill to end lifetime Supreme Court tenures, with Rep. Johnny Olszewski arguing that “faith in the court depends on its legitimacy as a fair and independent institution.”

Cops are drunk with power. Time to neuter them.

Further proof that everything he says is an admission of guilt.

If any of you think this is truly a probe, I've got a unicorn for you. This is simply the federal government doctoring records to show something that didn't happen. The whole country, possibly the world looses unless we're willing to get in the dirt with the pigs.

Google co-founder Sergey Brin — the third-richest man on the planet — is reportedly spending $57M to defeat California's proposed billionaire's tax. So he and his fellow oligarchs can't afford a wealth tax, but they'll spend a fortune buying elections? See the problem...

As Trump's Iran War drags on, the Pentagon has agreed to buy interceptor drones from Powerus — a company backed by Trump's sons Eric and Don Jr. Trump used to rail against the military industrial complex. Now his family profits from it.

Don't forget who is really coming out on top.

Sherman had what @sjshancoxli.liberalcurrents.com calls a "war mindset" www.liberalcurrents.com/democrats-mu...

Just a reminder...

by my tally we are now spending ~$2B to companies to NOT build more energy infrastructure. in the middle of an energy crisis

Apparently, there are a lot of people in this country who never read this book as a child. The lesson contained within speaks directly to our current dictator and what recently happened. Haven't we had enough fake staged attempts on his life to realize the wolf isn't real.

I will gladly be his enemy and everyone who enables him, for the rest of their miserable lives. I'll wear it as a badge of honor.

Tell me again that shit wasn’t staged.

My conclusions were made seconds after I saw a headline but it's good to know the facts.

Real... You can't make this Sh*t Up..🤡

He honestly thinks we're stupid.

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The fifth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Trump's latest budget is the culmination of 40 years of increasing social control in America. Remember that over half of defense spending flows to private contractors, like the drone manufacturers Trump's sons are now major investors in. All of this is absurd.

TurboTax and H&R Block spent $7 million lobbying the Trump administration to kill Direct File. Both companies donated to Trump's 2024 campaign and inauguration committees.

The real reason we're at war with Iran. Someone profits from it.

It's reverse Robin Hood.

Phone access can make a huge difference in whether someone gets deported, and ICE agents at “Alligator Alcatraz” allegedly brutally beat several detained men who demanded access to phones. “Cutting them off from just the very last thread of access they have to the world is a big deal.”

How sad has our world become when this isn't an Onion headline.

I fear we're fast approaching a time where everything in this country will be done at the end of a gun. Which end of that gun will be up to every individual.

THIS SUMS IT UP AS WELL AS ANYONE CAN:

$170 million in bets on the Iran ceasefire were recently placed on Polymarket. Could some users make bets w/ insider info? You'd think the government would more closely monitor this, but Trump is stifling regulation of these prediction markets. His family has a stake in their success, of course.

BREAKING: The California Supreme Court has ordered the GOP sheriff who seized 650k ballots cast in last year’s redistricting referendum to pause his investigation. The ruling comes as it considers the state attorney general’s request to permanently block the probe.

Rep. Ted Lieu isn't backing down.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else. We mustn’t let this war do so.

This is the truest truth of all the truths (and there aren't many).

The best explanation why millions of Americans worship and support a convicted felon and sexual predator...

Why does the American tax system favor the wealthy? And how did it get this way? I chatted with Jon Stewart about this back in 2012. Sadly it's only gotten worse since then. We must keep up the fight to fix the system.

Are you tired of winning yet?
