And even less than $20.

🚨 CNBC: "Announced corporate job cuts surging past 1 million so far this year, with 153,000 new layoffs just in October according to Challenger. That is the worst October since 2003."

Trump’s economy suuuuucks.

39 posts on Truth Social in the span of less than 24 hours. Thirty. Nine. He’s not a president. He’s a crazed drunk uncle in a recliner with a phone in his hand, ranting about how cruel the world is to him specifically.

Caught lying again.

There does seem to be a pattern here. Perhaps a homicide detective should investigate?

Virginia Giuffre and Jean-Luc Bunel “committed suicide“ too.

Ivana "fell" down the stairs. Jeffrey Epstein "hung" himself. etc.

With all these extrajudicial boat murders, we have a president who is not only an adjudicated rapist, but also an unapprehended serial killer.

Tonight, California made it clear: we’re taking back our voice and democracy. Here’s to proof that when we act together, we win.

So Good To See Strong Democratic Women Winning tonight ! Sure Will Be Nice To Keep This Powerful Movement Going......

Alright I fucking wrote about this. It was apparently necessary to vent my rage about this this afternoon, because that took me two hours to get it all out and onto the page.

As promised, a longer read:

Dumping this thread into a longer post, I think, because I have a lot of rage to offload in this analysis, and bc I am convinced that the American journalism industry as it stands is already off the cliff, in the air, headed to the bottom, and all of us working class reporters are majorly fucked

There is no safety net for us, not really. The success of an indie newsletter depends entirely on your ability to capture an audience of individuals willing to support you, or you are at the mercy of donors who have closed their pocketbooks at the precise time when we need them to do the opposite

This, like many other jobs, is seen as some sort of noble vocation, where its practitioners do it for the community, or because the profession seeks out truth, and therefore payment is an afterthought We are tradespeople in a dying trade, fighting for scraps while still trying to do the job

Your favorite journalist is barely subsisting (if at all) on UI, side gigs, a struggling newsletter, SNAP, and/or a horrifying freelance rat race before either crashing out spectacularly or barely rebuilding their career while the worst ppl u know are raking in the dough at the top of CBS News

ICE is a domestic terrorist organization no different from the KKK, for example. Every single ICE officer and agent needs to be arrested and prosecuted. #AbolishICE Tom Homan, Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller, Marco Rubio, and Donald Trump deserve imprisonment too --- FOR LIFE.

Last week, I reported the Trump admin has made it harder for male vets w/ breast to get their care covered The admin invoked a presidential order on "Restoring Biological Truth" Now, two dozen House members have written VA demanding the admin reverse course www.propublica.org/article/trum...

President Trump claimed the National Guard was needed in "war-ravaged" Portland. But a @propublica.org review of protests in the months leading up to his claims -- including more than 700 (!!) videos -- show a different reality. via @robwdavis.bsky.social and Steve Suo

"We have a guest submission today from my friend, Josh Gohlke. Josh’s excellent piece makes a stark argument: that under the guise of budget cuts and political posturing, America’s food-support systems are being deliberately eroded."

So far this week: Monday: Dick Cheney kicks it Tuesday: 34-yo Muslim becomes mayor of NYC Wednesday: Gorsuch raises grave concerns abt Congress abdicating the power to declare war Thursday: Pelosi announces retirement

Really? You're gonna make me do this one? Thou Shalt Not Starve Your Own People. There you go.

We are officially in the longest government shutdown ever—Hasan Piker I are here to let you know what’s going.

Newsom Knows…🤩

Ted Cruz said Dems won because common sense conservatives didn’t show up. Also, Ted Cruz: “The heart of the Democratic Party today is communist and jihadist and extremist.” Common sense? Cruz and company have zero sense – no sense of integrity, genuine, or, apparently, hypocrisy.

This is what oligarchy looks like: If you're Elon Musk, the richest man alive, Tesla gives you a $1 trillion pay package & Trump gives you a huge tax break. If you're a poor kid on SNAP, Trump appeals a court decision that would have prevented you from going hungry. Obscene.

When you're a sociopath and get angry that someone else's medical emergency, just four feet away, drew focus from your gloating and you forget which lie you were on.

It was never about fraud, waste, & abuse. It was always about punishing the poor, from Africa & Haiti to right here in the U.S. The same man who managed to bankrupt casinos is now bankrupting America & probably stealing all the U.S.A.I.D money for himself, leaving children to DIE of hunger. 🤬

I've got nothing witty or insightful, just this -- fuck Musk. Just, fuck that guy. Wotta asshole. Saying it while we can. Everybody on earth would have to say it 125 times to equal his salary. I dunno, maybe worth a shot.

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Let's be crystal clear that the Trump administration is to blame for this. If you get stuck somewhere, don't yell at the airline folks, call your congressperson instead.

The Dickensian aspect, for real

Rare is the perfect photograph, a photograph that is both literal and metaphor, a photograph that fills the void where a person should be.

Jury nullification is good and it's a good sign for America's path out of authoritarianism that juries are recognizing their power to nullify.

Might be also threaten private law firms until they do free work for him, withhold federal funds from universities until they only teach what he wants them to and use the Justice Dept to wreck vengeance on anyone who defies him? Nah, that's just too crazy! Never happen!

Of course I'm worried about socialism. I mean, just imagine if Mamdani one day becomes President and nationalizes industry, imposes historic tax hikes, goes after the media, builds a secret national police force, militarizes the country, and sends people to camps.

This is disability visibility. Mamdani listened. He didn’t pander or talk over the disabled journalist. He acknowledged his concerns and gave real responses about how he plans to fix them. 1 in 4 Americans has a disability, it’s a huge number of voters. Don’t ignore us!

No American hates America more than Donald Trump, a TRAITOR of the worst ilk.
