This is great. It did look like neighbours ganging up on teenagers in star wars outfits...

It’s insane that Republicans are still trying to sell trickle-down economics—and it’s peak insanity that people still buy it.

Before Reagan’s tax cuts, debt was under control—even w/highways, Medicare, Medicaid, and the Cold War. What changed? Massive tax cuts.

And we’re still footing the bill.

We are now living in a time when the weather reporter is the best journalist on the evening news, here explaining how Trump's cuts to science are jeopardizing lives in hurricane season:

No license plate on the getaway van

June 1st marked the beginning of the 2025 Jim Cantore Season and it could be a bad one.

Be prepared. Jim Cantore can arrive quickly with little notice.

Edolf. How many Ukranians has he killed?

Dear ICE Agents:
When your parents told you that you could be anything you want when you grow up, they didn’t mean masked kidnappers.

RFK Jr. asks CDC for new measles treatment guidance amid his unfounded claims Kennedy claimed that drugs like budesonide and clarithromycin "have been shown very effective" for measles, but doctors say they don't fight the infection itself.

‘Kennedy told reporters that there were "many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.’

One problem; there is no treatment for measles. Signed, a doctor who’s been forced to deal with measles because of this stupid fraud.

“The suppression of uncomfortable ideas may be common in religion or in politics, but it is not the path to knowledge, and there's no place for it in the endeavor of science.”

He‘s not alone. Vance and the others would go on with this.

Exactly.

Another toothless Impeachment: like giving a speeding warning (not a ticket) to someone who just plowed into a bus full of school children.

Causing it to explode.
With no survivors.

“hey, these things happen, buddy, but slow down a bit next time, OK?” Says the cop, winking.

Not at The Hague.

Supreme Court just said this isn’t an official act when they ordered the mistakenly deported man to be returned. Trump et al are now acting in open defiance to the Supreme Court. Who is that is required to act on behalf of the Supreme Court when their rulings - the rule of law - are ignored?

And, thanks to John Roberts and the SCOTUS rightwing, Donald Trump would have absolute immunity against any kind of criminal liability or prosecution because he did it under the umbrella of his "core constitutional authority".

There are 340 million of us and one of him.

Flee?
Fuck that.
This is MY home and I will defend it—even if it costs my life.
That pants-shitting rapist nonce won't win that easily.

Where’s my reddit gold?

Stop buying unnecessary things from big companies.

Buy as much as you can from the independent small companies and local traders.

It's not your work that enriches oligarchs as much as what you buy with the little money you have.

Thank you for sharing this.

Diligence is vigilance! (I just made that up)

Can someone please compile a list of the lawyers enabling this bullshit so we can file mass bar discipline complaints against them? I can't track them all down but have a draft complaint nearly ready to file in Cali on Ensign.

4/4. My book "Black Earth" was all about this. I will try to write a summary tomorrow.

3/4. If we accept the idea that moving a person from one place to another undoes rights and disempowers the judiciary, we are endorsing the basic Nazism practice that enabled the killing of millions.

2/4. The entire practice of the Holocaust of the Jews involved zones of statelessness. It is easier to move people away from law than it is to remove law from people. Almost all of the killing took place in artificially created stateless zones.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

Oh look. Another bribery and extortion scheme.
