He's confessing to planning war crimes on live television

Quit saying humankind destroyed the planet. That can be refined to get the culprits. White supremacist capitalism ravages the planet destroying everything in its path with no regard to if anything’s left. Indigenous ways & non capitalist ways sustainably support humanity’s existence on earth.

Given *gestures broadly*, "seemingly no reason whatsoever" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. To be honest, I am in the "My desire to be well-informed is at odds with my desire to remain sane" camp.

Meanwhile, the jumbo circus peanut in the Oval Office wouldn't be able to figure out a recorder. Or a kazoo.

Here is the long and short of it.

Live your life in such a way that 7 million people don’t show up just to tell you that you are an asshole. #NoKings

Once American democracy made it possible for a Black man to be elected president, American conservatives decided that it had to be destroyed

🎶Thicker than A deep dish pie Joints are sore Blood pressure high Pudding, flan And crème brûlée None are safe From the Green Beignets🎶

No one signs up for the National Guard thinking, “One day, I’ll invade Oregon.”

New data shows the cost of Republican plan to jack up health care prices: – Premiums will more than double – A 60 year old couple would have to pay $22,600 more a year

Arsonist puts out fire he started with fire extinguisher he stole.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

The Nation pulls NO punches, from @espiers.bsky.social "There's no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign. Refusing to join in doesn’t make anyone a bad person. It’s a choice to write an obituary that begins “Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children.”

In 2015 it was "lock her up." In 2016 it was "2nd amendment solutions." In 2017 it was telling cops "please don't be too nice." In 2018 "when the looting starts, the shooting starts." In 2019 it was "can't you just shoot them in the legs or something?" In 2020 it was "stand back and stand by."

I mean the worry isn’t that this is the tipping point for general violence, the worry is that this is the justification for state violence given the target. Minnesota was never going to be anything because it was one of their guys. It’s all asymmetrical.

Today we learned that in June the US economy lost jobs for the first time since 2020. We haven’t seen this kind of net job loss since - well, since the last time Trump was in charge.

Members of Congress, lying on the record

Cabinet secretaries, lying on the record

The Aug employment report shows the strain from growth negative policies--restrictive immigration means construction job losses, trade war means mfg job losses, budget cuts mean state & local govts and health care sputter as job engines. The economy is v close to a tipping point

About this Florida vaccine story: When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough. We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated. “Oh, they’d have died.”

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

Seems Mike Johnson has been using campaign funds to pay his rent in DC, which is a major legal no no. www.rawstory.com/mike-johnson...

“A Republican is somebody who couldn’t enjoy eating unless he knew someone else was hungry.” ~Mary Karr

All on the whim of one guy who doesn’t understand how the global economy works

Israeli forces killed more Palestinians waiting for food at aid sites over the weekend, as it continues to starve the population of Gaza. Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal — and we as a nation are complicit in this bloodbath. We must stop all military assistance to Israel.

Just so’s we’re all clear, almost 3/4 of everything we buy from Europe is now 15% more expensive.

One thing that makes me laugh is that if we get out of all of this we’ll go “well thank goodness THAT won’t happen again” and go back to doing the same dumb shit

New in PN: The worst chief justice of all time "American history has no shortage of legendarily bad chief justices and disgraceful decisions. But John Roberts has overseen the wholesale corruption and capture of the Supreme Court, and history should look back on his tenure with revulsion."

Freedom from kings. Freedom from fascism. Power to the people forever. ♥️ Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸

If a 33 year old socialist immigrant Muslim can win the Dem mayoral nomination in a landslide in the biggest city in the entire country Fuck it man, the game is on, get this shit moving and start fighting

sure it's easy to say "defund the police" but who will you call when you're in danger and you need somebody to roll in guns blazing and kill you before you can identify yourself then plant a gun on your corpse

I don’t know how many times we have to say this, but the U.S. government is not a business and shouldn’t be run like one. It’s a service—for the people.

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." -FDR, 1937

Guys, it's the oligarchs. If you want to blame someone for 2024, blame the oligarchs. Anyone telling you to blame someone else is part of the oligarchy. Dark money has been to blame since citizens united.

I understand the argument that the impeachment vote in the House is symbolic and thus potentially a "waste of time" but the people who make that argument never explain, and once again in this case have not explained, what *more valuable thing* they need to do with the time instead.

I just really need everybody to understand that everything that’s happening in and to the global economy now (and all the businesses and people in it) is the entirely predictable result of the intentional decisions of one guy who doesn’t understand how the global economy works.

Plenty of politicians on both sides of the aisle feel threatened by rising class consciousness.

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything, Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT. ~ All of Us

You'd struggle to devise a more straightforward test of human intelligence than the choice presented in the last US election.

One of my Radical Leftist opinions is the government shouldn't be able to deprive anyone of life, liberty, or property without due process of law

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.
