We are 7 weeks into the most egregious stock market manipulations of our lifetime. Orchestrated by a crooked president and his underlings. Billions siphoned via false proclamations of ceasefires and peace talks. With the criminals in charge, every day is a crime spree.

i think folks might be unfamiliar with "the pharisees", so let's make it clear: he's saying the jews run the press, and that they are conspiring to undermine the military. it's not just antisemitism, it's indistinguishable from nazism.

This week is Black Maternal Health Week — and Black women are still being ignored, dismissed, and disrespected, especially during pregnancy and childbirth. Over 80% of these deaths didn’t have to happen. This is your reminder to listen to Black women.

"Oil is an absolutely essential commodity that's built into our economy in all sorts of ways that are not immediately obvious." It shows up in diesel, jet fuel, fertilizer, plastics, asphalt, and more. So when oil gets pricier, the hit doesn’t stop at the pump. It spreads through the whole economy.

You know what would also help her afford her husband's cancer treatments? UNIVERSAL FUCKING HEALTH CARE JESUS FUCKING CHRIST HOW IS THIS GODDAMN COUNTRY STILL LIKE THIS MAYBE GRANDMA SHOULDN"T HAVE TO DELIVER FOOD LIKE A TEENAGER IF WE HAD A DECENT FUCKING SOCIETY!!!!!!!!!!

The first solar panels put on the WhiteHouse were put there by President Carter. Ronald Reagan took them down.

It's unclear why Zampolli thought that deporting Amanda Ungaro to Brazil was the same thing as making her silent. She is posting up a storm on Twitter, threatening to spill secrets, and Melania Trump just gave a visibly nervous press conference about Epstein. 3/

The Trump-Melania-Epstein connections go through Paolo Zampolli, who just had the mother of his child deported. And Amanda Ungaro, deported to Brazil and separated from her child, is now swearing revenge. 2/ x.com/AmandaUngaro...

For people just catching up to the Amanda Ungaro / Paolo Zampolli story (she was an Epstein victim, then the mother of his child; he just had her deported by ICE), here's the bigger context: it was Zampolli who brought the Slovenian model Melania Knauss to the US and introduced her to Trump. 1/

Wise words from Spain's Prime Minister: “The momentary relief cannot make us forget the chaos, the destruction, and the lives lost. The govt of Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they show up with a bucket. What is needed now: diplomacy, international law and PEACE.”

Never saw this coming.... #project2025

Stephen Miller has always been convinced that pure, unalloyed racism controls the political allegiance of roughly 35% of American voters, and this number is sufficient to run America, regardless of what the 65% think.

And John Roberts was there in Florida to "stop the count" at the Brooks Brothers Riot with Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett. So we can thank him for the other two endless wars as well. www.brunswickdem.org/post/why-it-...

I'm a bit of a broken record on this, but usurping the power of the purse isn't just one constitutional violation among all the many others. It is, uniquely and singularly, the death of constitutional government altogether. Game over, end of story, you now live in an autocracy.

Guys, I have bad news about impeachment. If the president distributes Treasury funds lawlessly, and Congress is powerless to stop him, then the president can also ignore an impeachment conviction and Congress still has no ability to physically remove him.

I would normally say we're barreling toward a constitutional crisis, but I suppose it's not really a crisis if the democratically-elected executive branch does it with the tacit approval of both Congress and the Supreme Court and no one does anything, save for a bit of performative grousing.

Spot on.

De dollarizing the global trade in oil would have a massive impact on US power…is this a first step?

Happy International Transgender Day of Visibility especially to trans people of color!

What if I told you that Projekt 2025 always contained plans to dismantle the TSA and privatize that function for fun and profit and ICE's presence at airports now is a key piece of that goal? www.snopes.com/fact-check/p...

Pete Hegseth removed 4 decorated Army officers—2 Black, 2 women—from a promotion list. The Army Secretary refused, calling their records exemplary. Hegseth overrode it. Possibly illegally. They gave decades to this country. He erased them & called it meritocracy. This is white Christian nationalism.

This thread fits with a theme I've been writing, exasperatingly, for more than a year. Congress has decided not to exist, and with 2 years of abdication, even if Democrats win control, the new normal will be hard to reverse. Might as well sell the Capitol, who needs it prospect.org/politics/202...

The 90-Day Spigot: How the US Is Dismantling Non-Dollar Oil Markets Venezuela in January. Iran in February. 56 days apart. Both were the largest oil producer… https://theboard.world/articles/geopolitics/the-90-day-spigot-inside-the-petrodollar-war-thesis/ #geopolitics #macro #FinSky #EconSky #oil

1/ It's not just that unilaterally paying TSA agents is illegal. It's that Trump has now repeatedly undermined the core of the congressional power of the purse. He's not spending money that has been appropriated by law (impoundments) and he's spending money that has not been appropriated.

NEWS: Bette Midler just released a remake of Woody Guthrie’s classic protest song “All You Fascists Bound to Lose,” updated to fit the current moment and urge action ahead of the midterms. You have to listen to this.

JUST IN: "Trump Orders 3,000 More Troops to the Middle East As Pentagon Considers Land Operations." For anyone thinking Trump won't send troops to Iran because it's very unpopular, you don't get that Trump and GOP don't care about public opinion-they are planning on stealing the 2026 election.

MAGA widely views ICE as a force loyal to POTUS and only accountable to him. This is a much bigger deal than a funding fight. Again, he’s moving forces around the country at will to solve his political problems. Do I need to say the word “midterms”? -end-

The DHS shutdown and TSA backups are political problems POTUS should resolve with Congress. But Trump is noping out and moving around federal law enforcement officers and maybe the military bc…he can. This is not their mission or role. It's just doing Trump's bidding.

I feel like a lot of ppl are missing the big picture here with ICE in airports. (1/3) The President is freely moving federal law enforcement officers—who have shown a willingness to engage in violent behavior with no meaningful accountability—around the country to solve his political problems.

These “Black Laws” varied by location, but as in the case of the Indiana Constitution of 1851, were often quite explicit. “Section 1. No negro or mulatto shall come into or settle in the State, after the adoption of this Constitution.“

If you’re unfamiliar with the “Black Laws” that essentially criminalized free Blackness under slavery, you can read the version from Washington D.C. here.

Which is essentially a bill that would banish trans people from the state, not unlike the fines & restrictions placed on free people of color prior to emancipation. A forced removal bill operating under the guise of “public safety.”

While “Black Laws” criminalized free Blackness at the local & state level all across the country—eventually codified nationally in Dred Scott—those in enslaving states were designed to promote either “self-deportation” or “voluntary” enslavement.

Which is to say that if you cannot use public spaces or facilities, you are not only not “free” but are actually being targeted for expropriation, exploitation, &/or elimination. All disguised under the language of “rights.”

The purpose of widespread ICE deployment is to communicate to Americans that nowhere is safe from the dictator. Everywhere we go, whatever we do, there is someone and something watching and the implicit threat of violence. America is already militarized, but it will become increasingly so.

THIS is only the beginning!

What’s the chance that ICE goons will leave the airports if and when TSA gets funded? I bet slim to none.

Exactly this!! How much money did his cabinet members and Republicans in congress make of this manipulation? Wonder why they all lie down and do whatever he says? Because they are making millions every time he manipulates the market. Meanwhile the economy is in the toilet.

Everything they say is a lie. Everything they do is a scam.

Without hesitation, John Cena comes off stage to hug a fan battling cancer and offer him some words of encouragement.

The wrong guy died today.

I know we expect nothing less from this piece of shit, but my God — Donald Trump is absolute fucking trash.

The Strait of Hormuz is shut down. The Dubai airport is shut down. Dubai, a city of 4 million, relies nearly completely on imports for food. The regime in Iran undoubtedly knows this. This is the Achilles Heel of this entire operation.

Who knew she had a soul to sell. She owed a debt to the Orange Dictator for dropping his Trump University case.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

The 2024 election? The one where he was losing & stopped even trying to campaign? Where he rode around in a garbage truck looking like a child? Where Elon Musk came riding into the rescue and later claimed he won the election for Trump? Where Trump said voting wasn't necessary? That election?

Calling the Gestapo “the Gestapo” is causing the Gestapo to act like the Gestapo.

Canada sent so many dedicated young people into the hellfire of Kandahar to help the United States. Now they ridicule us. JD Vance says he is tired of our "sob stories". Trump says they never needed us. Never again, America, Never again.
