Once upon a time, the richest Americans worried that if conditions got bad enough all the poors might just rise up against them, and so they avoided getting *too* obvious with their exploitation.

Today's crop just brags about it.

Saw Tron Ares and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Lord give us the Democrats that Republicans warn us about.

Is there a Nobel Bitch Prize?

I miss Carl Sagan.

Miller.

Now that Kirk's killer seems to be caught, maybe the news could spare a moment's attention for the right wing, from the commentariat up to the GOP and president, whose immediate reaction was not mourning, but to seize the opportunity to try to incite violence against groups they hate

Oh, I was so close.

Over 300 MILLION American citizen's files stolen by DOGE.

Why can't 1 person with access steal the EPSTEIN Files?

Think about the implications of a country who could learn that gun violence is the leading cause death of their own children and then make no changes whatsoever.

Bring back Saturday Chicken and Rice and I’m in.

that summit could've been an email

Yes, Yes and YES.

There are a couple things I'm really excited for you guys to see in this month's ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN #11.

But then there are even more for you guys to see in #12... off the top of my head... in addition everything cool we already got going on... it's like.... 6 pretty big new things/teases?

The GOP is the party of pedophiles and this needs to be hammered relentlessly by every single Dem. These people are sick fucks who think they won’t face consequences.

Raskin: In any event, if he really cared about public safety in DC… he would not have pardoned 1600 insurrectionists and violent cop beaters on his first day in office. 

I'm having a rough go of it lately, and have been thinking: everyone is going through something, and you have no idea what it is, or how it's affecting them.

Quote post this is if you're going through something, and maybe we'll all realize that we aren't as alone as we feel right now.

I don’t know that I’d go that far, but I do find myself frustrated with Michael’s “business as usual” approach to things when it hasn’t been business as usual for the last decade. We’re on the precipice. Old rules don’t always apply.

There will never be a bottom.

Somebody sell me on this. Good run?

The corporate takeover of American politics was rapid and ruthless. In 1976, I watched as thousands of corporate lobbyis How the Corporate Takeover of American Politics Began | Robert Reich

In 1971, corporate attorney Lewis Powell drafted a memo urging Big Business to mobilize for political combat against consumer, labor, and environmental groups.

That roadmap kicked off the corporate takeover of modern American politics. Watch. https://youtu.be/bbbgfnpJN9w?feature=shared

Like the force, the natural universe seeks a balance. That’s why we have both a Jack Black and a Jack White.

Dems are polite first and foremost, even as they are going right off the cliff.

100%, to the detriment of us all.

Absent is a selection for witness tampering, something Trump does repeatedly in plain sight.

There is a reasonable amount of advertising someone in a capitalist society should expect on a duly basis, and then there is whatever the level we are living with now is.

The worse things get, the more books, comics and (as a result) shelves I want to buy.

Amazon is generally my last resort for books due to constant damage, but I have noticed recently that they are starting to add more packing material (paper). Ive been on a noticeable “no damage” streak as a result.

Looking at this long term, how is this anything but a concession, if not an outright surrender to China and the rest of the world? The U.S. will not be able to compete in terms of skilled jobs.
