What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works.

This will be remembered as the most pathetic moment in American history. What a needy fool.

A CNN investigation found that the IDF gunned down starving Palestinians trying to collect flour in Gaza. Then they bulldozed the corpses into unmarked graves, where they were left to rot and be scavenged by ravenous dogs.

A screenshot of a social media post from a parody account styled as a governor’s press office. The post uses all caps and mocks a political figure by describing a fake award in exaggerated, insulting language. Below it is another post sharing a short video clip from a televised event at the Kennedy Center. In the video still a man in a suit is being given a large decorative medal by another man while cameras and a news chyron run along the bottom. The scene takes place on a stage with a blurred backdrop.

A Thoughtful Child Could Spot the Problem With the Supreme Court’s Sloppy Pro-Gerrymandering Decision The shadow docket order in the Texas redistricting case provides state lawmakers with step-by-step instructions for drawing discriminatory maps without having to worry about judicial review.

The Supreme Court is the place where America's nine wisest judges gather in a room to decide that, under the law, state lawmakers get a free pass to racially gerrymander their states, as long as they wait until the election is a couple months away

Each day, we learn of Israel’s theft of yet another slice of Palestine. Piece by piece, acre by acre, the Palestinian nation has been seized by Israeli offensive forces and carved up by Zionist colonizers in contravention of all treaties, accords, “peace” agreements and the like.

I wish this was real

Please tell me this is for real, and if there was a response from the moron in chief for finally being called on his rudeness.

Text of tweet by Independent Senator David Pocock, rebuking the Albo Labor Govt for its secrecy: Why does the Albanese govt seem to have so much to hide & seem so afraid of scrutiny? Transparency, different perspectives & robust policy debates build a stronger democracy. This culture of secrecy is deeply concerning & risks repeating failures of administrations past like Robodebt. We need safeguards & better practices to document govt decision-making in the digital age so our integrity doesn’t disappear along with the signal messages.

Excellent rebuke from Independent Senator @davidpocock.bsky.social of the Albo Govt, in response to the Saturday Paper's report that the PM's Office encourages lobbyists to use encrypted messages and verbal briefings when proposing policy ideas, to avoid FOI and disclosure requirements. #auspol

More of this nationwide please!

Why Palestine Matters So Much to Queer People Palestinian identity can “upend the whole world order, if done right, if spun right, if we activate it enough. And I think queerness is a very similar kind of identity.”

“Solidarity with Palestine reflects the very realities that queerness is not just about sexuality or identity but about dismantling oppressive structures globally, and that is a common understanding within queer liberation and Palestine liberation movement.”

Palestine matters to queer folk.

"The story of Timor-Leste is also a warning. In an era of geopolitical competition, small nations remain vulnerable. The lessons of 1975 – intervention, complicity, and silence – are as relevant today as they were then."

Price is set by supply and demand. Dwelling type (an unoccupied 10BR mansion where there could be apartments) has some influence on that, but too often this "luxury housing" rhetoric disguises supply denialism: NIMBYs arguing nice apartments can't lower prices cos they're too nice.

Mockler: It's honestly humiliating that other countries are treating our president like a child, like a baby. It's like if I created a peace prize and I gave it to myself. I'm like, I'm just going to keep this medal on all night. Our president is an actual child

How to buy yourself a needy malignant narcissist? Just offer him a phony, made up "Peace Prize" & he's all your's!!!
No need for a formal ceremony as he'll snatch from the box & put it on all by himself. Both laughably pathetic AND pathetically laughable. 🤡 🫣

Most Palestinians in Gaza say they don’t feel the relief they expected after the ceasefire. Israel keeps blocking aid into the strip, delaying reconstruction efforts, and leaving hospitals short on supplies, while people go hungry every day.
