WIRED headline reads: Trump's FBI pick Kash Patel Took Up to $5M in Stock from Chinese Ecommerce Giant Shein

$5M in Shein stock is crazy. to put it in perspective, a child would have to work three billion hours in a Shein factory to earn a 1/10000th of this

you don't have to put on blackface to get social media attention. you can simply develop mild depression, join a menswear forum, spend the next 15 years arguing about pants, and then weaponize the knowledge against your enemies on social media.

We need to start doing credits and vetting sources religiously.

Mamdani is not a radical. He has run a tight, smart, fairly standard local campaign. He'll probably get 20 or 30 percent of his platform if he's lucky. The one radical thing he's done is told the Times to go to hell. He has campaigned every step of the way like he doesn't need them, and he's right.

Who is the source? They should get credit.

If you blame migrants collectively for the horrible actions of a few but do not hold white people collectively responsible when white people commit heinous crimes, that's racism. Just saying.

LAPD, the OG Gestapo.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

This is not the first time @govpritzker.illinois.gov has allowed his state police to act this way-

The Gov talks tough about Trump in pressers for photo op & presidential run & then lets his troopers run roughshod over peaceful protesters- A few days ago they were worse than ICE in treatment

Screenshot from report linked below.

“Permanent Standard Time gives your body a healthier rhythm. Energy, metabolism, and immune system stay more synchronized, lowering risks of chronic conditions.”

Before this year, could you ever have envisioned that the United States Navy would have a fleet of ships positioned in the Caribbean, & not respond immediately to aid Jamaica after the devastating hurricane ?

Shoud we be worried that Mark Zuckerberg built a multimillion dollar bunker in Hawaii. That Tr*mp is fortifying the White House bunker. And that several Tr*mp regime members moved onto military bases?

WTF. Everyone, cameras out. Get it all on video.

If you delete the SNAP contingency fund language from the USDA site, what you’re really saying is that you know that you could feed people and you’d rather not.

Definitely yes! 👍🏻

“This language from the Vice President betrays so much of the promise we have as a nation.”

FACTS about SNAP:

-35% to white people (largest share)
-90% to people born in 🇺🇸
-86% to households with kids
-70% work full time but aren’t paid a living wage (aka corporate welfare)

ICE: thug trash.

Maybe they’re just looking for a heart.

welcome to America, where the idea that kids should have food gets you labeled some kind of communist

If you are wondering whether the U.S. military will kill civilians,

the generals would say no are quitting.

What does that leave?

I continue to sincerely want the term “Kavanaugh Stop” to be a badge of shame for the rest of Brett Kavanaugh’s days; the only bit of writing he’s known or remembered for; his sole contribution to the Law; for him to perceive, in little stabs of self-awareness, that this will be his rancid legacy.

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families?

Now you know.

The Dangerous Ones (@thedangerousones) Watch to the end. LETS GO CHICAGO!!

This criminal administration is going to be remembered as a horrible chapter and cautionary tale in US history.

So great to see the endless videos of people not accepting this bullshit

Nothing new, just an ICE agent assaulting someone in the middle of the street for no GD reason. 1/2

Motorheads at IL Policy are at it again! New op-ed against transit funding, arguing proposed fees on car-based transpo are unfair to suburbanites, although they'll save CTA/Pace/Metra (which they use!). Rebuttal:

If a democratic Speaker had refused to call the House into session for OVER A MONTH there would be wall to wall coverage on all networks.

What the fuck is wrong with our media
