'Blunt Corruption': Trump DOJ Hands Google an Antitrust Win After Tech Giant's Ballroom Donation | Common Dreams Alphabet, Google's parent company, is contributing $22 million to the president's ballroom project.

We're witnessing the culminating rot of shareholder capitalism in real time.

Some of the most powerful corporations in America have sided with an authoritarian regime in order to protect their short term profits — the fundamental rights of everyone else be damned.

it’s one Helen Andrews, who is indeed both, as well as a virulent and outspoken racist

actually ghoulishly racist to even try to compare the two, wtaf

Just finished my #firstlisten of Isaiah Rashad's The Sun's Tirade, an amazing, lowkey, vibey, yet introspective album with stunning highlights like Wat's Wrong, Free Lunch, 4r Da Squaw, Silkk da Shocka, and Find a Topic (homies begged).

Both great albums but summertime 06 is more banger-heavy and a more exciting listen on the whole

Love to NxWorries but MadGibbs easily, we're talking about Pinata *and* Bandana here, two of the best hip hop albums of their respective years

Care For Me is amazing and Saba's one of my favourite modern-day storytellers but JID's unparalleled in that lane imo, he's an easy GOAT in my mind

very close but personally Sampha gets my vote 9 times out of 10, both very talented

Love both albums but personally summertime '06 is the more exciting front to back listen despite dark times having more highlights overall

Here's a few albums I've been diving into lately:
Pusha T - It's Almost Dry
Twenty One Pilots - Breach
Paramore - Riot!
Earl Sweatshirt - Live Laugh Love

And more, over on my Albumoftheyear: www.albumoftheyear.org/user/theshee...

Hey y'all! I've been very busy moving cities and getting settled in this past month or so, but now I'm back on my album listening grind! I've got an updated 12x12 #topster coming soon, plus probably some written/video(!) album reviews in the coming weeks!

It's not even worth mentioning that these Korean workers are here legally, ICE is just torturing any non-white person they can get their hands on

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Their waists and hands were tied together, forcing them to bend down and lick water to drink. The unscreened bathrooms contained only a single sheet to cover their lower bodies. Sunlight barely penetrated through a fist-sized hole, and they were only allowed access to the small yard for two hours. Detained by US immigration authorities for eight days, the workers and their families expressed shock, describing human rights violations and absurdities they could not have imagined as ordinary Koreans living in 2025.

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in

The US president trafficked & raped underage girls, the evidence is overwhelming, everyone knows it, and this country's elites & institutions are so broken, so insular, so decadent that we can't even bring ourselves to state it clearly, much less do anything about it.

Contemptible & pathetic.

It’s really good to see the ABC reporting using ‘child’ and ‘cell’. Too often reporting describes children as ‘young people’ and prison cells as ‘detention facilities’. Across Australia governments are putting children, alone, in prison cells. It must stop. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

Detainee Dies at Rikers, the Fifth Fatality in 2 Weeks in N.Y.C. Lockups

Last night, yet another person died on Rikers Island — the fifth New Yorker to lose their life in City custody within the last two weeks and the 13th this year.

These deaths are a result of Eric Adams' failure to reckon with the crisis of violence and neglect in our jails.

Sen. Warren Daniel (R–NC, District 46) was caught trading stocks right on the Senate floor.

Didn’t even wait for a break. Playing the market on the taxpayers’ time…pure abuse of power.

As kids return to school, another mass shooting has stolen young lives.

Children shouldn’t fear their classrooms. Teachers shouldn’t risk their lives. Parents shouldn’t wonder if their kids will come home.

We are the only country with more guns than people—and this is the devastating result.

America Tips Into Fascism Today is different than before.

The precise moment when and where in recent weeks America crossed that invisible line from democracy into authoritarianism can and will be debated by future historians, but it’s clear that the line itself has been crossed. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/america-ti...

This is so important…

Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles.

In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected.

REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency.

Exclusive | Rep. Hakeem Jeffries pays just $200 in property taxes thanks to sweetheart subsidy law Public records show that Jeffries and his family reside in a condo unit in Prospect Heights, paying just $213 a year in property taxes.

Since @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is so concerned about @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social housing maybe he should address his own property tax bill of just $213 a year thanks to a sweetheart deal he supported when he served in the state Assembly that will last through 2032. nypost.com/2022/01/23/r...

We need to be building a trans culture of mutual support, one where we tell the people close to us what they mean to us and how just unbelievably fucking cool they. I've started doing this more and more over the last year and I cannot tell you how many times I've

'Do not forget Gaza... and do not forget me': Anas al-Sharif's final message to the world before Israel killed him "Make my blood a light that illuminates the path of freedom for my people and my family"

"If these words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice."

"I entrust you with Palestine."

"I entrust you with its people, with its wronged and innocent children who never had the time to dream."

"Do not forget Gaza."
