“Ah, just one more thing, sir. You’re blowing up those boats, saying they’re filled with drugs headed for the US. But then you go and pardon the guy who brought in 400 tons of cocaine. That’s billions of doses. Help me understand that.”

Cold blooded murder.

What do these corporations have in common? Netflix Ford Tesla T-Mobile Duke Energy DISH Network Metlife Dominion Energy United States Steel In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes. This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

So, Republicans want to get rid of Muslims and immigrants, but Trump and Republicans also want to take Saudi and Qatari money and are fine with selling American property and businesses to Gulf Muslims. Cool, got it.

I still can't believe these goddamn fools are trying to get into a patriotism dick measuring contest with a guy who was a combat pilot and an astronaut and space flight commander.

Kristi Noem is guilty of crimes against humanity and needs to face justice. 📌 She made the final call to defy a court order to halt deportation flights, sending people into the hellscape of CECOT, a place the UN has compared to a torture chamber. Prosecute her and everyone involved.

It's somewhat amusing that you can pass yourself off as a Russia expert commenting on this "peace deal" as messy but at least "a way to end the war" without realising Kremlin sees it as just a tactic to continue it later. It will end nothing.

On my recent #AegeanAirlines the flight attendants delivered my gluten free meal with an additional two pieces of gluten-full bread. They couldn’t understand why I might object. #celiac

"Remove the Regime" rally. Protesters are chanting “IMPEACH, CONVICT, REMOVE.”

Why Do We Love Weird Old Tech?

Video from Bora Bora (better with sound on)

Big Oil is using native advertising to "disguise their ads in news outlets" and promote "controversial technologies like carbon capture as climate solutions, portray fossil fuel companies as climate-friendly, or misrepresent their role in the energy transition" finds author @commscholar.bsky.social.

American minds were poisoned and conned by propaganda on Twitter.

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

Mark Kelly: "He's talked about sending troops into more cities, he's talked about invoking the Insurrection Act. You don't have to go too far back to his 1st administration when he went to his Sec Def & said, 'Can't we just shoot these protesters in the legs.' That is an example of an illegal order"

Kelly: "I never expected after serving 25 years in the Navy flying combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait, flying the Space Shuttle, that now I've got to worry about my personal safety and that of my wife, Gabby Giffords, who was already nearly assassinated, because of something the president said."

“If you’re quiet now, you would’ve been quiet in 1940.”

Old Skool #Audio Stack. #Audiophile

Margaret Brennan lost all my respect when she started reading off Bari Weiss' right wing talking points

AI is a bubble. We didn’t ask for it. We don’t want it. We can’t opt out of it. The tech oligarchs are forcing it on us because they don’t want to have to pay anyone for labor (because they want everything.) We know this. And it’s not even a major reason why we hate it. It is objectively awful.

The cruelty is the point

US Bishops have responded to attacks by Border Czar Tom Homan: “The bishops of the United States have spoken together and in unity with Pope Leo XIV.”

Pam Bondi has posted rants and videos saying that there’ll be no mercy for those who threaten federal agents. But she and her boss just pardoned a woman who threatened to shoot federal agents. Why did this Florida woman get a pass? She’s MAGA. Trump doesn’t care about federal agents. Never did.

One third of the country supported the January 6 2021 attempted take over the government & are the same ones who voted him back in. They are traitors in my book.

"A citizens group in Ontario, California is spearheading an effort to make the community aware of incidents involving federal immigration agents. They're placing signs at the locations that read, 'ICE stole someone here'..." abc7.com/post/ontario...

They’re all just looting the treasury now

This is brilliant

Its unbelievable that we may be moving toward war with two countries that pose no national security threat to the US, while we walk away from Europe, where Russia poses an acute threat to NATO. youtu.be/eTut5ts77us?...

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

“More and more cabinet members — Rubio, Miller, Noem — live on military bases now, & it's another parallel to Iraq, where the administration lived in the Green Zone. There’s something deeply unhealthy about a society where leaders are literally shut off from the communities that they govern.”

There’s a young southern woman on tt doing an experiment: calling churches & asking if they can help her get baby formula, saying she can’t afford it. Of the 30+ she’s called, nearly every church has said no. The ones who said yes were: Black Baptist Churches A Mosque A small Appalachian church

What does the future of America look like, you ask…

Taps sign

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

Crockett: When you go and you hit those booths come the midterms, think about which party decided that it was okay to literally be on vacation while people were going hungry in the streets of America.

Welp — @davidhogg.bsky.social to Scott Jennings: "People are tired of being lectured by men with Rolexes on CNN about affordability in this country. That’s why Zohran is resonating."
