In a nation with more than enough wealth for everyone to be well fed and comfortably housed, capitalism requires poverty for many so a few can experience 2 mins of 0 gravity in their dick shaped rockets

The American people are going to learn the hard way once again why we have government regulations. For many it will be far too late.

"...disobey unlawful orders..." 🤔

Bullying and sexual harassment are both, fundamentally, about power: a way of making the bully/abuser feel big by making the victim feel small.

While the rest of the world was at #COP30, the U.S. government was busy rolling back bedrock environmental protections www.nytimes.com/2025/11/22/c...

Kavanaugh stop. Smashed the kid’s car windows and arrested him. He told them he was a U.S. citizen. The officer replied “I don’t care.” www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

The crimes are happening everywhere, all the time. We’re going to learn about staggering amounts of corruption. www.npr.org/2025/11/21/n...

really baffled at elon's decision to confirm that most of twitter is just a poorly organized foreign influence operation

5 of 5 stars to The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together by Heather McGhee

OK so wait. Trump talked to Bolsonaro last night and was planning to meet him “in the very near future”? Sounds to me like he was in on the escape plan. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Congress wrote into the law that someone who overstays a visa while applying for asylum is not considered to be accruing “unlawful presence,” but it didn’t explicitly say those people couldn’t be arrested and detained — because it was presumed that they wouldn’t be. Well, Trump is doing it.

Imagine trying to settle a property dispute by talking only to the intruder. That's the logic here. The Trump/Putin proposal is an attempt to impose terms on a country under attack leaving the defending nation out of the room. Peace cannot be done to Ukraine; it must be done with Ukraine.

Congress Rebuked Trump On His Epstein Cover Up. Now It Must Rebuke Him On His Surrendering Of Ukraine To Putin open.substack.com/pub/simonwdc...

The reason people freak out and run from Trump’s racist goon squad is they are literally disappearing people. www.latimes.com/politics/sto...

Translating a document from Russian to English doesn’t make you its author.

Stephen Sestanovich: The best sentence is the very last one: ‘European officials and former officials have described the 28-point plan as “scandalous” and said Witkoff needs “a psychiatrist” if he thinks it will fly.’ www.politico.eu/article/ukra...

“Why not just hire Americans?” 🧑‍🌾“We’d love to. We can’t find the numbers. This is hard work lots of people won’t do… Trump’s policies are definitely impacting the labor force and hurting our farmers. 50-60% of the labor force is undocumented.”

Over on X, they just rolled out the public feature that reveals where accounts are located. I've found several major Elon Musk fan accounts that are run out of Africa and two major MAGA accounts are run out of Europe

She talks about how she was just trying to warn her neighbours that ICE was in the area. She says she’s a survivor. This is courage. It’s also a reminder that DHS will lie to protect its thugs. Kash Patel still hasn’t removed a tweet that blames Martinez for getting shot.

On Thursday, Sens. Richard Blumenthal and Gary Peters sent letters to the White House and the Department of Homeland Security asking for a full accounting of the official’s activities, calling his actions a “brazen interference with a federal investigation.”

When you’re crushing so hard you start dressing like them

Hmmm…what USAID wasn’t bad for America…what if getting rid of it only hurt us and everyone else? What if the richest man in the world being responsible for ending aid to the poorest people in the world will go down as one of the most bizarre and disgusting acts of the 21st century?

Trump eats McDonald's so no one will poison his food while he actively poisons our food.

On the patently unlawful boat strikes It's hard for USGs to claim ‘mistake of law’ or ‘advice of counsel’ – when they’re firing lawyers who wouldn't sign off on the strikes. WaPo's new revelations on firings or removals: 1) CIA General Counsel 2) NSC Legal Adviser 3) CIA Mission Center’s lawyer 🧵

Racial profiling is all they do. Lawless.

This is about revenge, stay tuned. She called herself a “battered housewife” because she tied her whole identity to Donald Trump and finally realized how abusive he’s always been. Unfortunately, this isn’t goodbye, it’s a setup for her comeback swing.

Please hear me when I say that 1) these anti-medical woo birth movements have been a primary feeder into anti-vaxx eugenic movements 2) they pre-date the age of social media 3) they exist because we have not addressed medical sexism and specifically obstetric violence

WATCH: “During a period Epstein was facing more heat than ever, Bannon got even closer with him.” @arimelber.bsky.social breaks down the cozy Bannon-Epstein relationship in the emails. Bannon even helped him with damage control re: the underage sex trafficking. MAGA’s ok with this?

Trump is only enamored by other men. He only uses women to up his street creds with his fellow men. He only seeks to impress other men (never women, he typically shows disdain for women) and is only impressed by men.

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Reality is just ripping off arrested development jokes now

Stephen Miller needs to spend the rest of his life locked up, pardon or no pardon. This man needs to face the most serious accountability there is.

"JP Morgan recently calculated that the tech industry must draw an extra $650 billion in revenue every year — nearly double Google’s total sales in 2024 — for AI investments forecast through 2030 to earn a modest 10 percent return."

Science is not something you can command. It is something you must respect. And when a leader treats settled evidence like a political inconvenience, it is not courage — it is negligence on a national scale.

We’ve seen this story before: undermine vaccines, and outbreaks follow. Replace science with personal will, and people suffer. Public health collapses not because the evidence changed, but because the leadership did.

The truth continues to exist whether you accept it or not. Vaccines prevent disease. Vaccines save lives. This is not a matter of “orthodoxy.” It is the result of consistent, reproducible scientific evidence collected across continents and generations.

🧵 The claim that a political leader “personally instructed” the CDC to abandon its scientific conclusions about vaccines is more than troubling — it is a direct attack on the foundations of evidence-based medicine.

Where are all the libertarian shills now? Where were they over abortion rights and women's bodily autonomy? It's crickets. Always crickets. Don't ever buy their libertarian bullshit. It's all just racism with them.

I *think* the attempt to speedrun authoritarianism has failed. The new acute danger is greater political violence (Trump calling for hangings, etc). But the concerted danger is down the line, when MAGA realizes the bill for all this corruption will come due. www.offmessage.net/p/maga-disar...

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

This might be the single funniest thing that has happened during this incredibly cursed year

Both Democrat and Republican parties in shambles over a guy that is just genuinely nice, like vampires fleeing sunlight

In a typical move, Donald Trump attacks our Somali community because he can’t think of anything else to do on a Friday night. That’s who he is, but it’s not who we are.

Selfish, self-centered narcissists, all of them.

The partisan divide has grown, too. The wealthiest 100 tended to give more to Republicans than to Democrats before last year. But giving to the GOP spiked in 2024, with *84%* of donations going to back Republicans or conservative PACs.

Imagine if they had paid that in taxes instead we could have nice things.

This is what is happening.

The senior military lawyer for the combatant command overseeing lethal strikes on alleged drug-smuggling boats near Venezuela disagreed with the Trump administration’s position that the operations are lawful—and his views were sidelined, according to six sources with knowledge of the legal advice.
