It BOGGLES THE MIND that there are Democratic senators considering caving to the GOP, who will then have ALL the leverage AND increase our insurance premiums for funsies HOLD. THE. LINE. SENATORS: Kelly—AZ Slotkin—MI Peters—MI Ossoff—GA Coons-DE Cortez Mason—DE Rosen—NV Shaheen—NH Hassan—NH King-ME

What sane woman believes in ACB’s version of conservatism?

Is the political and moral crisis in Israel the result of Benjamin Netanyahu's choices as prime minister? Or is it delayed backlash to Golda Meir's prime ministership? by Ross Douthat

I realize this prediction wasn’t especially difficult. But yes, it got worse. And it will continue to get worse. Vote every god damn enabler out of office.

Devastating— “I’m afraid for my parents to leave the house. They treat us like dogs because of the color of our skin. I shouldn’t be scared, I should be focusing on school.” A 16yo American living in fear of the Trump regime’s ICE goons terrorizing brown people pleads for help.

There is still time to return to the goal of 1.5C but governments’ goals are inadequate and need to be rapidly revised. Rapid scaling-up of the use of renewable energy and electrification of key sectors including transport, heating and industry is needed. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

"Let me be clear: The president has both the funding and the authority to fund SNAP during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.” Gov. Andy Beshear

The utter stupidity of pursuing a criminal trial against someone for throwing a sandwich that bounced off a bullet proof vest pissing away hundreds of thousands of dollars for this joke is the perfect encapsulation of this Administration.

The “Home Goods” White House: @governor.ca.gov

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Excessive force. PERIOD! They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor. 📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

Don't buy Starbucks right now.

Now do it.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

And make no mistake, these are bribes.

Blumenthal: We’re going to continue finding more of the ballroom donors who evidently didn’t want their names revealed. And let me name them: BlackRock, Susquehanna International, Nvidia, OpenAI, Vantive, and Extremity Care. And so, we will use every possible resource to expose this corruption to

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless. Remember this.

I think they need to be sued again.

This is a classic form of voter intimidation—making people feel like it’s not safe to go to the polls. It moments like this where we need to summon our courage & vote anyhow. Vote in the tradition of the people who marched in Selma to secure the right to vote.

I continue to wonder when Americans will decide enough is enough. As Frederick Douglass reminds us: “The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”

CNN Speaker Johnson I don’t know montage

He wants to kill Obamacare, but has no other plan. He is not satisfied with his deportation operation because his ICE agents are not abusive enough. He plans to continue murdering people in the Caribbean Sea because the law and these humans are of no concern to him. All this thanks to John Roberts.

I volunteer at a FB. This resonates. Cooking oil is prized. Fresh produce is the staple of most of the baskets I bag. Eggs are impossible to keep stocked. We seriously limit butter, toilet paper, and feminine protection. They are a big deal. Also, we never have enough pet food.

"It means his heart is failing." How does something that doesn't exist fail?

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance. The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income. They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive. Wanna fix fraud and abuse? Fix that.

What he said Part 3: 💯 🎯

why we do not have a 24/7 media drumbeat, "the president is mentally incompetent," I will never understand

And again, a pattern of putting out statements accusing people of serious Federal crimes and then releasing them hours or days or weeks later with no charges. And no retraction.

Making the poor suffer is a goal, not a bug. SHAME,SHAME SHAME.

Absolutely gross.

I thought maybe reading the transcript of tonight's @60minutes.bsky.social interview would be easier than listening to him, but it wasn't. Here it is ... exactly what you'd expect: incoherent lies, one after another, with no pushback. Utter failure of journalism. www.cbsnews.com/news/read-fu...

🤷🏼

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

What does Venezuela possess that the U.S would be interested in controling? What does Nigeria possess that the U.S would be interested in controling? Venezuela has the world's largest proven oil reserves. Nigeria is Africa's largest oil producer. Remember Iraq? Don’t fall for the okie dokie.

The cruelty is the point.

What he said Part 2: 💯 🎯

What an odd set of options offered in the CBS News Poll. DEI but nothing about democracy or rule of law.👀

Trump’s America: FBI Director is taking govt jets to watch his girlfriend sing, president is in Palm Beach holding Great Gatsby balls after golf, we are murdering people in boats while refusing to show proof of guilty, govt is shut down, airports are a disaster, prices are up.

May the odds be ever in your favor

There are reasonable models all over the earth. We choose this one because we like to see “lesser” people suffer.
