The fact that Fort Worth Texas has a back log of over 900 rape kits they 'don't have time' to test, but Texas Sheriffs did have the time to spend a month tracking a woman who MIGHT have been going out of state for an abortion tells you all you need to know about what Texas thinks about women..

McGovern: "This is not a governing philosophy. It is a scam. I wasn't sent here to vote for trash. I can't understand why you'd choose a career of public service to do this -- to rip away the healthcare & food assistance of working & middle class Americans. Is that really what you came here to do?"

Hey world, remember when you thought this was awesome? (Which, by the way, it was). Yeah well she's been suspended for a week now because of it; it's coloniser rules and forms of expression allowed only, indigenous people must only be angry in white ways. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

This foreign imported Parliament serving the interests of wealthy white landowning men has constantly failed to comply with Te Tiriti o Waitangi, acknowledge tikanga, or manifest manaakitanga. We can do better, something very different to this that serves all of us.✊ #nzpol #HakaWithHana

This is my new favorite image because it perfectly encapsulates the concern trolling and crybullying from the right when you give them even a fraction of what they spew out on a consistent basis.

this is not an exaggeration

Nobody is yet to convince me that, unless the price of manufacturing butter has substantially increased, this is not bullshit of the highest order. What you can sell it for overseas should NOT dictate what you sell it for at home. www.rnz.co.nz/news/busines...

What I found most telling in this story is that the Government *knew* they had to hide this from the public. They were so worried it would get out that they didn't do a regulatory impact statement, or even tell their own MPs until a just before they announced it.

In appointing Musk to lead DOGE, Trump has transformed governance into a tech CEO’s sandbox—where efficiency masquerades as virtue, institutions crumble under ego, and democracy is gamified for spectacle.

60 Minutes could find no criminal records for 75% of the Venezuelans the U.S. sent to a notorious mega-prison in El Salvador. https://cbsn.ws/4clubLP

Being able to heat your home in the winter is not a luxury. It is a matter of life and death. Trump and Musk’s decision to arbitrarily fire every worker in the office that helps working class and low income people heat their homes is outrageous.

When I saw this. Wow 😮

The wages of the richest 1% have skyrocketed 182% since 1979.  Meanwhile, the wages of the bottom 90% have seen just 44% growth.  Trickle down economics was always a hoax.

"If it continues like this, the United States will not score as a democracy when we release 2025 data" "US democracy will not last another 6 months." Source: 31 million data points for 202 countries, by 4,200 scholars, measuring 600 different attributes #3E #EndOligarchy www.cbc.ca/amp/1.7486317

This is horrifying! Family members of some of the people sent to do hard labor in a Salvadoran prison by Trump confirm their loved ones weren't members of a gang. One woman said her brother got a tattoo of a rose in Dallas, and because of that they accused him of being a gang member.

Meanwhile over on the other place, rightwing free speech warriors (this guy is a former DeSantis campaign staffer) are calling for me to be denaturalized and deported because they don’t like my political speech. This is what fascism and racism looks like, folks.

While the Russian Useful Idiot in the White House is busy claiming bullshit wartime authority to further his efforts destructing Democracy, just a reminder that everything he has said is a lie & everything that he says going forward will be a lie. As for his enablers, screw them.

I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired! New ride coming soon.

The Māori worldview—kaitiakitanga, whanaungatanga—values people and the land over personal gain. A Māori Kuini would be deeply tied to Aotearoa in ways no British monarch ever could. Why not keep the constitutional monarchy but change the monarch? #ToiTeTiriti #LongLiveTheKuini

Just asking for one reporter to challenge these fuckers on their use of this childish language and to ask them why they think respect and inclusion within a multicultural society are bad things.

Just a local billionaire sharing his weirdo Twitter friend's race science ideas, no biggie.

As terrible as the internet is in many ways (not least that it's basically responsible for the current global political climate) — it's very good that we have robust social media for things like this that would tend to be hard to follow, or overlooked, in traditional media.

Guys: Elon's mom is beyond furious.

I smell some good trouble

I’m so close to hanging up.

Hayden Haynes, Chief of Staff to Mike Johnson, was arrested for DUI after crashing into a parked Capitol Police car following Trump's televised rambling to the US Congress.

If the Trump-Musk agenda is so popular, why are Republicans hiding from their constituents? Keep fighting. Keep calling. Keep showing up. Keep causing good trouble.

"Well some of the lunches are made so there isn't any plastic in them at all."

Can anyone explain why magas always sling around one or a combo of the following insults when addressing dems? gay f*ggots pedophiles ret*rds c*cksucker There's no evidence behind this, unlike DJT, who is a racist, sexist, convicted felon, insurrectionist, traitor and adjudicated rapist. maga?

So one day you support Ukraine and the next you support Trump🤦 What an embarrassment. Christopher the exit door is to the right. #nzpol www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

relatedly, why is the entire political press completely uninterested in the verifiable fact that JD Vance has close relationships with online nazis?

Elon Musk brags about cutting $2T from the federal budget—but in reality, he’s done almost nothing. Worse, he’s too clueless to see that gutting programs preventing mass injury and disease doesn’t save money, it creates bigger crises. This isn’t strategy, it’s billionaire stupidity.

Today, a reporter from the Russian state news agency TASS gained unauthorized access to the Oval Office. How does one gain unauthorized access to the Oval Office? Meanwhile, AP and Reuters were blocked.

I think Trump might’ve lost Dave.

RFK Jr. Vows To Make Measles Deaths So Common They Won’t Be Upsetting Anymore

We should be writing Project 2029—defining the society we want, clearly and publicly. Let’s start today.

Nothing about kids dying from measles is normal. Anti-vaxxers like RFK Jr. and the Republicans who enable them are responsible for every single one of these deaths.

Many ancient cultures believed that a blood moon was an omen of death, the overthrow of a king, or an attack on the king. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Don’t speak against your corporate masters. When toxins are dumped by companies we won’t allow an opinion that it’s bad. When they screw over consumers, products are dangerous, faulty, we won’t have an opinion. When they support gutting the law, support despots, do illegal acts no opinion.

The Elon Musk backed pro-Russian candidate in Romania, Calin Georgescu has been arrested. Authorities raided him like the crook he is and found at least $10 million in cash and tickets to Moscow. He may have also bumped his head a little bit too.

This headline, right here, should be all the reason anyone needs to know this is the dumbest thing this govt has dreamt up, thus far. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.
