In all these cases, it's his own insecurity that's driving it.

Whether it's middle-class parents giving their kindergarteners Bluey dolls or Larry Ellison giving his son David $40 billion to buy Warner Bros., parents of all economic stripes are splurging on gifts this holiday season.

Donald Trump has unilaterally decided that one of America's largest media companies must be sold to one of his cronies. Here's why America has a liberal media bias problem.

ICE is snatching up American citizens with ID and throwing them in jail for days at a time without any form of due process. But someone with pink hair did a land acknowledgment at my last HOA meeting. I have never felt more politically homeless.

An easy way to explain luddites: Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand. And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before. That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

You think you want a cigarette, but really you just want miso soup.

After being on a CPap machine for two weeks, I know think its possible to get high on air. I walk around my day on a cloud now. Baked as hell on air

If you have to accept that greed is human nature and we should organise around it, you also have to accept that people begging for food wanting to set fire to trillionaires is also human nature.

I'm so far away from my emotions. Every finger press n flick brings horrors and rage so large, I have to do relaxation rituals on myself. I have to lose touch with myself and emotions. There's just no way to survive. Read a book? Horrors and rage in them. Walk outside? I like that...

Far more dangerous than Trump, I think, is how quickly the last eight months have pulled back the curtain on America's elites and shown everyone how venal, how cowardly and how utterly mediocre the foundation of our society has been.

They are literally canceling culture

If a Democratic governor talks about punching people in the mouth, he is obviously filled with insatiable bloodlust. If a Republican president talks about punching people in the mouth, you’re the violent one for thinking he was being serious.

A look at the new crop of Mamdani imitators who are trying to copy his style, but don't have his substance.

It has occurred to me that I havent made any sense. From this point on: I will make sense Starting with: Horses are bold. 🫡 \ —👍 I / \

8. And this is no less true of Roe, Heller, Citizens United, Loperbright or Dobbs. None of those decisions came from some infallible temple of law. They came from fallible people, voting based on their “prejudices, passions, errors of opinion, local interests, and selfish views”.

5. Aren’t we better off to simply acknowledge that ALL THREE branches of government are filled with people who are doing their best with a finite bag of skills? That they get it wrong no more or less often than any of the rest of us do, and that the protection comes from Constitutional checks?

9. The promise of democracy is that it will fix mistakes. The threat of autocracy is that it sets those mistakes in stone. And we would all be better off with a SCOTUS that embraced the former rather than praising the latter. /fin

Many weird American constitutional outliers are hurting us: * Strong bicameralism * Presidential veto over legislation * Strong judicial review * Extreme legislative malapportionment * Distortion of presidential elections by the Electoral College * High threshold for impeachment

Whether it’s Republican politicians joking about the murder of Melissa Hortman or Democratic politicians expressing their condolences after the murder of Charlie Kirk, both parties have a extreme rhetoric problem.

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature

So weird how the folks freaking about "socialism" are just totally okay with government market controls and state ownership of corporations when Republicans are the ones doing it www.cnbc.com/2025/08/22/i...

Chattel slavery was so bad that when we tell you how bad it in fact was most of y'all shut down and tell us we're making it up and pass laws against us ever telling you how bad it was again because your brains literally cannot handle how bad it in fact was.

This is exactly--and I mean exactly--how Holocaust deniers have long discredited the Final Solution being a concerted effort & high-level order. "The Jews in the camps all died of typhoid outbreaks"

What’s craaaazy to me is that a Minnesota state rep was ASSASSINATED and nothing even remotely close to this happened there

a cop is mayor of nyc and runs the mayor's office like a crooked precinct with a bunch of his cop friends. they brought a massive police presence to the scene where they waited until the shooter killed himself. and somehow this is the fault of the not-yet mayor who wants to reform the police dept.

Epstein survivor Sarah Ransome on Ghislaine Maxwell: “She had no remorse. Ghislaine has no soul. She’s a dangerous human being. She will reoffend, reoffend and reoffend. These people never stop. Ever.”

Hi, I worked at USAID. 👋 Airdrops are universally acknowledged as probably the worst and least efficient way to get aid to people. You airdrop when you a) want to want to so something but can’t, or b) you don’t want to do anything but want to look like you are.

In this Ohio town, it was tradition: Latin mass, eggs and bacon at Bob Evans, and then down to the old jailhouse to pardon a pedophile sex trafficker. But now the woke mob wants to take all that way.

Should be nowhere near law enforcement.

Each day, they could just discuss the details of one (1) former Republican who was arrested for sex trafficking, pedophilia, or some related scandal. If they're going to shut down Congress for this, fill the silence with these news stories. Make it unavoidable.

the current fascist upswing is totally disconnected from reality; triangulating is worthless because you can’t address conditions that only exist in people’s brains

You can read all the retrospectives about Epstein running now. But to really understand the case, go right to the @jkbjournalist.bsky.social series in the @miamiherald.com that ran 7 years ago (and for completely inexplicable reasons, never won a Pulitzer). www.miamiherald.com/news/local/a...

Every fucking last one of these ghouls in power need to charged with crimes against humanity: from the fucking POS ICE stormtrooper to Trump himself. Any dem that refuses to campaign on justice can fuck all the way off.

A Nazi owns Twitter, right wing billionaires own the Wall Street Journal and the LA Times, and CBS is run by a right wing nepo baby who just fired one of the network’s biggest stars for criticizing Donald Trump. Here’s why America has a left-wing media bias problem.

Congress has decided to claw back previously approved funding for public media. This decision hurts people in communities across the country, but it has only strengthened our resolve to keep Americans informed and connected. (1/2)

The conservatives on this court have systematically destroyed their own legacies and the legitimacy of the court in favor of catering to an ignorant, petulant, emotionally disregulated little dictator who doesn’t give a shit about them unless they’re useful

Oh.

Joined our Members of Congress & state colleagues following what was a highly scripted tour of human cages at Alligator Alcatraz Detention Center. We were not allowed to speak to ANY detainee, though of course we pushed for more access. This is why the ability to visit unannounced is so important!

Measles cases in the U.S. have hit a 30-year high. 1,288 confirmed infections. 38 states. 3 dead. Over 160 hospitalized. Brought to you by a government that thinks Facebook comments count as peer-reviewed science. johnfugelsang.substack.com/p/make-ameri...

WaPo hasn’t learned the word “kidnapping.”

Fun. Online arguments w/ right wing people or racists or misogyny filled spaz goons; those people are all having fun. Cackling, and when that fun runs out, and things get "personal" they have hate to draw upon. Hate, fury, fear. Whatever fuels them to avoid introspection, learning, & naked truth

You’re not evil for asking why the president cut services and let your family drown.

Marines and DHS arrest anti-ICE protester after children were spotted in chains at the federal detention center in LA

All those private healthcare donors watching Wes cash in on their investment. "No money left" is a political fiction used to protect the super rich from fair taxes. Rather than take different political choices, Health Secretary is acting like an influencer for privatisation.

I vandalize your soul in the name of Feist. I use tidbits of information as gasoline for my bomb-preaching that barrels through your inner spaces. Use laser drones to dig up and zero in on what I call character flaws and sins. I am a mighty weapon of god reigning white fire on fools who dare

“If our economic system is to survive, there has to be a better distribution of wealth ... we can't have a system where some people live in superfluous, inordinate wealth, while others live in abject deadening poverty.” Martin Luther King, Jr.
