We have long possessed the ability to have everyone fed, clothed and housed and have chosen not to do so. Now, this regime demands the power to commit more aggravated impoverishment.

Trump's Four Freedoms:

Freedom from shame. Freedom from accountability. Freedom from responsibility. Freedom from empathy.

This whole stupid, destructive mess is about being freed from the obligations of reasonable, kind, responsible adulthood.

After the Minnesota shooting Senior DOJ officials started weighing proposals to limit transgender people's right to possess firearms.

After the Kirk shooting, I look forward to the DOJ's proposal to limit white men's ability to possess firearms.

Wait, what do you mean that's not how it works???๐Ÿค”

This canโ€™t be accurate because Trump said we took in like $17 trillion in tariffs.

Trump shelved his plans to target Chicago as the next city for his domestic crime push after advisers warned him that sending in troops to help with local law enforcement (without buy-in from the stateโ€™s governor) could create legal headaches they want to avoid, sources familiar with the matter told CNN

Now heโ€™s going to Memphis

It absolutely matters here that Pritzker was effective at sounding the alarm and plainly stating this would be unconstitutional in a profoundly radical and fundamental way, and showing he could rally practical popular opposition, which then gets spun as backing out over "legal headaches."

Today is the 5th anniversary of the death of John Lewis. As he said from his deathbed, "Now it's your turn to let freedom ring." We must heed his charge & we must prevail.

'A Slap in the Face': Missouri's GOP Governor Repeals Voter-Approved Paid Sick Leave | Common Dreams "The governor's action today demonstrates the absolute disdain Republicans have for working Missourians."

Last year, a majority of voters in Missouri passed a ballot initiative enacting paid sick leave.

Yesterday, Missouri's Republican governor signed legislation repealing it.

Do Republicans ever listen to the will of their voters? https://www.commondreams.org/news/missouri-paid-sick-leave

We the People will not bow down to tyrants. We will respond by getting in good trouble instead.

On July 17, five years since the passing of Congressman John Lewis, communities are coming together.

Don Bongino desperately misses the attention that comes with being an online shitposter and is bored to death having a real job. If he resigns, that's why.

Weโ€™ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon.
