I just want to live in a country where the leader can’t enrich themselves with our tax dollars, the government does what the people want, and the wealthy have to follow the laws.

You know, like a democracy.

Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin O’Leary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, β€œObama: Dems need to avoid scolding and β€˜virtue-signaling.’” The post quotes O’Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

CBS pulling @jamestalarico.bsky.social’s interview from The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is alarming and nothing short of censorship. Full breakdown on my Substack page (link below).

β€˜The trend is irreversible’: has Romania shattered the link between economic growth and high emissions? Emissions have plunged 75% since communist times in the birthplace of big oil – but for some the transition has been brutal

Romania has decoupled economic growth from pollution faster than anywhere else in EU. Its net greenhouse gas emissions intensity fell 88% between 1990 & 2023, so each euro’s worth of economic activity heats planet 10 times less. Emissions have plunged by 75%. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Americans, I love you. I’ve been here for almost three decades. That said, what’s wrong with you and four way stops? Bad enough you use that stupid system, but you are all terrible at it. It’s not a freaking negotiation or a niceness contest every time. First come, first go. Get it together pls.

Colorado peeps - I’m sitting at DIA for a pick up. Anybody else thinking it would have been faster and cheaper to demolish this airport and build a new one than this eternal nightmare of a renovation?

ICE chief admits there’s no reason for immigration agents to be at voting sites The chief's comments follow threatening statements by Trump and his close allies about the upcoming 2026 midterm elections.

So let's stop being so overly polite. this isn't "an unhealthy obsession". He continuously posts white supremacist views as his own, which means he IS a white supremacist. Add his totalitarian views and that makes him a fascist. Period. How's that Sieg Heil salute looking now, huh?

If we can’t stand for human rights here and abroad, we can’t credibly fight fascism anywhere.

Palestinian freedom is tied to our fight against authoritarianism at home. You cannot defend democracy while aligning with anti-democratic interests like AIPAC.

Colo. Sen. Michael Bennet (D) is claiming credit for spending projects he voted against. Bennet said he couldn't support other issues in the bills.

Unlike Rep Lauren Boebert (R), who's done the same, Bennet wouldn't say if he still would have voted NO if he was the deciding vote

There's a ChatGPT ad about a family farm where the owner says her family has been doing this for a hundred years and she doesn't want to be the one to screw it up and that's why she's getting advice from ChatGPT and, my God, can you people hear yourselves?

So a machine can finally do a fraction of what humans have been able to do for eons and the tech class collectively wet themselves. Why can so few people see how bottomlessly stupid that is?

The Epstein files reveal that a vast global conspiracy actually exists – sort of The documents confirm what many have long assumed: elites live by their own special rules and codes of immunity

Is it just me or does this gently whitewash the Epstein files? I’m a big fan of the Guardian, but this hit me as tepid.

I don’t get why the biathlon is separated between male and female athletes. That seems counterintuitive.

The entire problem we have with the far right and declining democratic norms in America and Europe would disappear if the Kremlin disappeared.
Russia now runs America as an extension of its global agenda of chaos by sowing far right seeds in democratic countries.

A brand new Super PAC β€” Elect Chicago Women β€” just dropped hundreds of thousands of dollars into this race. Why?

Because it’s actually a front for AIPAC dark money. And they’re doing everything they can to buy my race:

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

A Secret Oil Cartel Might Have Killed Our Clean-Energy Future In a landmark antitrust case, Michigan alleges oil companies colluded to β€œcapture and kill” clean-energy and electric-vehicle efforts.

Big Oil "purchased solar and EV patents to ensure others couldn’t use them, solicited control of renewable markets and then abandoned them, and funded powerful institutions to promote false solutions, all while using trade groups to downplay the harms of fossil fuels, according to the complaint." 😠

From what I gather Senator Lindsey Graham isn’t mentioned in the Epstein files. We can safely assume then that #Epstein never had boys in his parties.
