HOLY SHIT prosecutors kicked off grand jurors and then re-presented the case against the Broadview 6, then altered the grand jury transcripts to hide it from the judge. www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

This is what happens when you hire insurance lawyers and real estate attorneys to handle federal civil and criminal cases.

Exactly. The Old Confederacy is alive and well. I've never been so disgusted by this country as I have been the past few weeks.

PLEASE read this one. Kinda required reading. If you agree, which I hope you do, print in color and magnetically attach to your refrigerator. It is marvelous and very clear to all who visit: this is what we stand for. PERIOD.

The feds harangued Kat and my family over bullshit charges for a year. They tried to beat her down, bankrupt Kat and her codefendants through legal fees, and a defeat her spirit. They fucking lost. They will continue to lose. Fuck ICE forever. To this criminal gang of a government: stay losing.

I often feel my calls are to brick walls, and maybe they are in this part of West Virginia, but it's the least we can do. Sometimes, it's all we can do.

Memorial Day weekend is here. This is what Trump's economy is serving up👇 Overall, holiday staples are up 13% on average — 4x overall inflation. Trump: "I don't think about Americans' financial situation." That's obvious. 🔗: groundworkcollaborative.org/work/as-summ...

YES. Thank you, @raskin.house.gov

Trump isn’t the problem. He is the result of the problem: the racism, ignorance, and selfishness of many people in the United States.

Effective tax rate paid by Jeff Bezos from 2014 to 2018: 0.98% Effective 2025 federal tax rate paid by Amazon: 1.4% Typical tax rate paid by the average American: 14.5% Just thought I should point that out.

Fans of RADIUM GIRLS might find this interesting:

Trump is negotiating to settle his lawsuit against his own IRS, and one of the remedies being floated (along with almost 2 billion dollars) is the IRS dropping all audits of Trump, his family, and his businesses. Just absolutely staggering corruption.

Farage says in a free Op-Ed in Murdoch's Scum 'newspaper' today that "Britain is broken on every level". It isn't but Farage & his companies Thorn In The Side Ltd, Reform2025 Ltd & employees have done their best to break it. Farage is a traitor to the UK. He should be treated as such by Parliament

As a taxpayer, I say "FUCK THAT".

Not a good look, Tennessee. Pardon, but your white supremacy is showing.

Read my full statement @democracydefendersfund.org -TN:

For those fools who think government is useless, does nothing, should be small enough to be drowned in a bathtub -- I give you the umpteenth example of why we need a strong public health system in this country.

If I end up being one of the many, MANY people who'll die at the hands of this disastrous administration, I swear to fuck I will personally haunt every last motherfucker who refused to vote for Kamala.

It’s staggering How swiftly states in the South can still move to stymie Black voters And how ready they were to do so

👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 we are so effing stupid in this country.

Exactly this 👇👇 Well said, Covie 👏👏

We need more white people to step up and say this isn't ok!!! It will take all of us.

This is really one of the most revolting things the dude has ever posted.

Reminder that Amazon... -Helps fuel ICE's deportation machine -Donated $1M to Trump's inauguration -Scrapped plans to display tariff costs after pressure from Trump -Shelled out $75M for the Melania movie And now wants to reboot The Apprentice — with Don Jr as host. Still shopping on Amazon?

Why Mamdani is so successful -- he does the equivalent of Fireside chats all the time with his Tik-Tok and Instagram videos. Memo to Democrats: Pay attention. Bypass corporate media and go directly to the people.

I don't see how blatantly lying about things the average American can see with their own eyes is going to do anything but continue to drive down Trump's poll numbers and juice the Democrats for the mid-terms.

We must understand the racist political rhetoric, the erasure and attacks on Black history, the reinstalling of Confederate names and monuments, all go hand-in-hand as the Court and Congress legitimize the taking of political rights and the end of multiracial democracy itself.

And to be clear, in case it’s not, democracy cannot and will not exist without these protections. We already see a South so heavily gerrymandered that numerical majorities cannot win elections and where a minority holds supermajorities in state legislatures.

I say it again and again: Because we don’t learn the real history of this country, we do not understand what this country is capable of. After 1870, 22 Black men served in Congress. By 1901, because of racist SCOTUS rulings, electoral coups and election cheating and violence, there were none.

The Voting Rights Act is essentially dead and it’s quite possible that we will, like when a similar SCOTUS gutted civil rights at the fall of Reconstruction, see a disappearance of much of the Black congressional representation, especially in the most heavily Black states, which are in the South.

I had no idea Americans are forced to watch Jimmy Kimmel. I thought there was an on/off button on every TV. Hunh. Curious how I escaped the mandate. Going to be early, I guess.

Here's the problem. There was a company in charge.

The framing of her question is atrocious. Trump has violated the U.S. Constitution constantly, defied court orders, spews violent, divisive rhetoric regularly, started illegal wars - and if you point that out? You're responsible if some crackpot takes a shot at him? Go back to J School, Dana.

There's a really simple rule for the workplace and business relationships. Don't hit on your employees, don't hit on your co-workers, don't hit on your clients, don't hit on your vendors. Don't hit on anybody in a workplace environment.

Mutually assured destruction. Race to the bottom. That's what the end game is -- gerrymandering to the extremes by both parties -- none of which is democratic. YOu might as well eliminate congressional districts and have every seat be an at large seat -- all statewide races.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

What MAGA hath wrought. No surprise a movement based in ignorance would destroy the premier arts institution in the nation. I grew up with these fools, I know what they're like. The KC brought the arts to hundreds of thousands of children across the U.S. Of course they hate that.

Rick Scott is a crook. He ran Columbia/HCA, which paid $1.7 billion in criminal fines, civil penalties, and damages for Medicare/Medicaid fraud in the '90s. After which he resigned as CEO and went into politics. If he thinks government is the problem, then he should get out of government.

Hello MAGA? Trump thinks you’re morons.

Or he is the Antichrist.

Claims we have no power to impact what happens are nevertheless an intervention in what will happen, by discouraging participation, by encouraging passivity, surrender, acquiescence. If you insist that a given outcome is inevitable, you are lobbying against resistance.

I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".

JUST IN: Iranian media says all diplomatic channels and indirect talks with the U.S. have been frozen following Trump’s threats

Putin could not have asked for a better, more-pliant US president, nor a better political party than the GOP that is willing to follow him blindly in betraying our country.

God help us all. This is madness on several levels. Announcing war crimes, and tipping off the enemy to a pending attack. Brilliant.

Ayup.

Paging J.D. Vance .... paging J.D. Vance ...

It is Putin’s “dream plan.” Because Trump works for Putin.👇
