If you wonder how we got to a place where extrajudicial killings of people on boats takes place in international waters: the line started with Kissinger, then continued with Cheney.

As far as I'm aware, HK wasn't also making himself rich while being a belligerent psychopath.

I mean,we are very likely recession bound,but this is due to the boycott. Target destroyed their brand & insulted their core customer base.You can get away w/ that if you have something people need at a price or w/ convenience that can’t be beat. But you can’t do that when you’re easily replaceable.

For no particular reason, reminding y'all that Brown U scholars estimate that U.S. led post-9/11 war & violence in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, & Pakistan from 2001-2023 resulted in a total death toll of at least 4.5-4.7 million people & counting, mostly Muslim civilians.

Still no WMDs though.🤔

Kimberly-Clark Agrees to Buy Kenvue, Maker of Tylenol, for $40 Billion

Wait, the whole Tylenol lie was just another piece of wildly illegal market manipulation and insider trading?

Absolutely infuriating. And NOT a business decision.

How do you trust something without eyes? The eyes are the windows of your face. 🤣

SNAP benefits cut off during shutdown, driving long lines at food pantries Long lines have formed at food pantries across the U.S. as federal food benefits were cut off due to the government shutdown.

“If you’ve never been poor, you don’t know what it is to be poor,” Jackson said. “I hope that it turns around. I hope that people get their SNAP benefits, and I hope we just come together where we can love each other and feed each other and help each other.”

A SSRS/CNN poll showing 61% people think Trump has gone too far using the power of the presidency and 57% think he's gone too far deporting immigrants.

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

The hundreds of thousands of Black & Latino men who were subjected to stop-and-frisk did not have the option to “leave NYC.” They endured the reign of Bloomberg - the beloved choice of elite New Yorkers - who even supported changing the law to give Bloomberg a 3rd term.

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

They are destroying what SHE built.

If it weren't so absolutely horrifying, I'd think we were on a sitcom.

Almost none of the media is getting this point. Mamdani is getting through to city residents not because he’s a particular degree of left, but because everything he says and does makes clear that he loves the city and wants to govern it to be a better city. Cuomo is transparently suburbanist.

And somehow... It's women who are "too emotional" to lead, etc.

😑😑😑😑

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

All y’all bitching about poor folks buying a bag of Cheetos or a pint of ice cream with their food stamps: 1/ You obviously never had to worry about your kids going hungry, and 2/ you ever think just maybe a little bag of Cheetos could be a special family treat? 3/ Fuck you.

This is brilliant

Fucking Mike Johnson goldfish memory is the party line.

Opinion | What Women Really Want: Work Boundaries

Many industries (whether work is remote or on-site) function as if employees are available 24x7. They could learn from the work boundaries in healthcare: hours set in advance and few workplace responsibilities outside those times.

No, I’m not watching 60 Minutes. I’d rather swallow live bees.

I'd definitely go in the opposite direction as swiftly as possible with 'tism judgement face.

People who say shit like this enjoy immense privilege and cops would likely agree with them/kiss their ass.

We can only hope their all-consuming hatred kills them before they cause more harm.

The cruelty is the point.

yes yes yes to all of this. material politics is the way forward and that doesn’t mean slogans it means the very difficult work of being a real presence in the lives of the people who you want to trust you.

I live in the Midwest US and know farmland. I've never seen land more beautiful than Ireland 💚 The abundant lime stone and grass that's entirely it's own shade of green. The people are also just lovely.

There is a book out called “The Sin of Empathy,” which is written by a white Christian nationalist cult leader out in Idaho. The idea that the left is “weaponizing empathy against Christians” is an EXTREMELY popular & growing sentiment being bolstered by the church. And we all need to be aware of it

I don't resent poor people who use food stamps to buy another soft drink.

I resent rich people who take away the funds for food stamps to buy another yacht.
