Eric Reinhart is a psychoanalytically trained psychiatrist & political anthropologist who's written a thoughtful & compelling piece on how the US has been an undemocratic oligarchy since long before 47's first term.
I won't try to summarize it. You really need to read this. No pay wall.
A foreign hacker likely has the Epstein Files.
The best way to prevent blackmail of government officials, such as trump and Howard Lutnick, would be for AG Pam Bondi to stop the cover up and release all the Epstein Files as required by law.

Stop attempting good faith debates w people who will claim ANYTHING to harm trans people.
Their “concerns” about “fairness & safety” in girls/women’s sports are just one weapon they use in their quest to push trans people out of ALL aspects of society.
Any D who can’t see that is complicit in it.
“Tehran is burning. And smoke has filled the streets. It’s impossible to drive out of the city right now and even with the windows closed, heavy smoke is making its way inside."
Read every word.

“The Israeli strike also killed another group of Iranian officials who had been meeting in a different part of the compound. Among them were people the White House had identified as more willing to negotiate…and who might help bring a swift end to the conflict, according to American officials.”
This is what Trump 2.0 has done to USA.
"For much of the 2010s and likely before and since, it appears the crime rate of CBP agents and offices was higher PER CAPITA than the crime rate of undocumented immigrants in the United States."

the $400 billion figure is the amount that China theoretically agreed to in 2021 over a 25 year period. the amount *actually* spent so far is something like $3 billion, we think, or roughly a third of the direct cost of the Iran war to the U.S. so far.
I’m reading Zoller Seitz’ Deadwood Bible now. It’s great. I’ll prob buy more from his store and so should you. Keep real criticism alive.
Yeah, I guess people aren’t hearing about The fact that a bunch of fascists were having a rally and threw a number of devices at the mayor’s house www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
How DOGE determined which NEH grants to cancel is a case study in the Rainbow Panic. This evidence illustrates unequivocally how anti-LGBTQ (specifically anti-Trans) animus drives the decisions of the Trump administration and is a defining feature of MAGA.

The oil depots in Sohanak, northeast of Tehran, Iran, are severely struck. Videos are showing massive fires all over the place.
BREAKING: The US has bombed Tehran’s main refinery and burning oil is now flooding down the streets into the city’s sewers.
This is a vision from hell, unleashed by the US tonight.

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.
We could post something smart and important about artificially low municipal taxes, austerity budgets, and the economic self-destruction of too many cities — or we could just recommend that you READ AND SHARE this really important THREAD below. #UrbanTruth
Trump Is Dangerously Close to Sending Troops to Iran: Sources Tell Zeteo
So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right
Send these fuckers to The Hague.
The catastrophic impact to local health where the air is poisoned, as well as to our global ecosystem as they literally set the planet on fire and fill the atmosphere with pollutants
OMG. WTF!!!! Republicans, what say you?!!
I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party.
This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.
We could end homelessness and hunger tomorrow if we wanted to.
We could agree that everyone should be fed and housed.
We could admit that being disabled, poor, homeless or unemployed is not a moral failing.
That society would be better off if everyone’s basic needs were met.
