The Nazi Slogans Are Not an Accident How many Americans actually want a race war?

"Having 80 percent of Republican voters actively supporting a fascist race war is meaningful for our societal prospects."

Some context: it took me almost a year and multiple applications to get a GS-5 ($34K annual salary) clerk job at the Department of Veterans Affairs. At the time, I had an MBA and a decade of management experience.

Why you should care about Trump’s war on the Fed "Jay Powell is not corrupt. The people prosecuting him are."

I talked to @jasonfurman.bsky.social about the Trump admin's decision to launch a first-in-history criminal inquiry into Fed chair Jay Powellβ€”and what happened in other countries when leaders compromised central bank independence. (Tl;dr it wasn't good!) www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

A new milestone in the cancer fight: 7 in 10 patients now survive five-plus years Better treatment options have improved survival rates in the U.S., according to a report from the American Cancer Society.

A new report from the American Cancer Society shows the historic accomplishments of U.S. scientific research. As of now, 7 in 10 cancer patients survive five+ years after diagnosis.

Meanwhile NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya constantly disparages the agency he oversees.

I’m happy to see the new American Cancer Society report showing that the U.S. has reached a historic milestone in cancer survivorship, where 70% of patients live for 5+ years after diagnosis.

But I also see it as a requiem, because the systems that made it happen have been destroyed.

ICE agents have been flooding into Minnesota, outnumbering local police and creating chaos in neighborhoods.

ICE needs to get off our streets.

4 male ICE agents tackle a woman U.S. citizenβ€”lift her off ground with no concern over groping her breast or exposing her midriff.

"Help me! Help me!" she cries out. "Check my ID!"

Agents shove her into back of SUV hitting her headβ€”literally run away from scene of crime.

St. Paul, Minnesota.

How to de-risk from America There is no precedent of a dominant power abandoning its primacy, as Trump is doing

LUCE: "..There is no historic precedent of a dominant power voluntarily abandoning its leadership ..

".. America’s allies are now at that hinge point between the past and the future. Trump is making their choice easier."

The night George W was elected I turned to my wife and said β€œMark my words, we will be at war!” Now that the orange dictator is putting us in war mode against even our allies we have to get Congress to step up. Flood is coming.

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

Defend Kat Against Unjust Charges Show your support with a contribution.

I’m the first congressional candidate to be indicted under the second Trump administration.

But if things keep going the way they are, I won’t be the last.

That’s why I need to fight these charges with everything we’ve got. Help us do that here: katforillinois.com/legal

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.

SNAP is not the reason your taxes are high.

SNAP recipients don’t need to β€œjust go get a job”.

Most of them work. The rest are disabled, elderly, children or caregivers.

People need & deserve assistance

Your taxes fund wars and tax cuts for the ultra rich

Be mad about that
