"Conversion therapy" is a polite name for something that isn’t conversion and isn’t therapy. It’s abuse.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

The U.S. Department of Education fired nearly everyone in the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services in a wave of new layoffs that began Friday, according to the union representing the agency's employees.

Pritzker: "If the Constitution means anything -- and I guess we all are questioning that right now -- the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked ... they just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize especially blue cities in blue states."

Nice recap

Tweet from Meidas_Charise Lee: “THIS IS THE COOLEST WAR ZONE EVER! Portland’s strategy… maybe if we act weird enough they’ll leave!” Attached is a photo of people in colorful inflatable costumes dancing or moving playfully at night.

So “antifa” is really “inflata” and is a bunch of people protesting in blow up costumes.

We've all heard that there is no free lunch.

Well, guess what?

There is no free 747 either.

Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection.

Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

For the EPSTEINTH time

When are they going to release the files

Psychiatrists call for RFK Jr. to be replaced as health secretary Two groups are calling for new leadership at HHS after Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s actions on substance abuse treatment and mental health medications, among other issues.

Leticia James never accepted a bag of cash with $50,000 in it from an FBI agent. She signed a form with the wrong box In A mortgage application package with an email from her, which clearly states this is not her primary residence. It’s all bullshit.

Unbearably violent images from Downtown Chicago where a classical music concert was played on the Chicago River. This is too elegant and magical to be seen.

Remember this:

To all the non voters out there, this is what happens when you stay at home and think your vote won’t count.

Look at us now and look at what is happening to our country.

YOUR VOTES COUNT. We don’t want to go through this ever again.

Thanks,
America

Just a reminder, the layoffs in govt were just done out of spite, not necessity

A restraining order was issued YESTERDAY by a federal judge barring detention of journalists in this district unless they refuse to reposition themselves and are given adequate time to do so, or there’s probable cause they’ve committed a crime.

To all the Americans losing their jobs and farmers losing their farms, take comfort in the fact that the people in Argentina are doing great.

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.

MIT has rejected Fat Satan’s blackmail, making it the first university not to bend the knee.

It was never about “free health care for illegals.” This is always what it was about. They have no intention of “fixing” the ACA, they intend to defund it.

Explain this to me like I’m 5. How does this make our country safer? How is this NOT a quid pro quo got the “gift” of a plane? And where is CONGRESS in this decision? @jimmcgovernma.bsky.social

There are so many to choose from, but if I could choose just one issue around which a flipped Congress should center impeachment proceedings, so far it would be the whole rotten Qatar business.

A bright spot from a friend in Philly: "The Proud Boys - a white supremacist group with a stupid name - planned a rally a block from my house today. The "belly of the beast" rally. Because apparently that's where I live - the belly of the antifa beast. Whatever the fuck that means. 2 hours before it was supposed to start, the park starts filling up with my neighbors. A drum line shows up. A brass band plays. The anarchists are giving away vegetables and nachos and some artists are selling jewelry. Black leaders give speeches. We chant Breonna Taylor's name. And all the other names. No right-wing rally ever coalesces. There was never room for a critical mass to congregate. A lost-looking man or two walks to the park, doesn't see their people, turns around. A right-wing vlogger trying to debate people is surrounded and walked to the edge of the park. Someone spotted with a handgun is chased through the park, to their car, by over 100 people. The ice cream truck music plays the whole time. The usual guys set their chess tables and start playing, the crowd of neighbors start to break up. Nazis, we will replace you. We will displace you. We will louder and more numerous. We anti-fascists are full of music and love and nachos. We will always replace you."

Doesn't this just make you crave #nachos?

(THIS is the blueprint for responding to provocations from the Orange Reich - bring a PARTY!!!!!)
