GENERAL STRIKE 🔥 NOW! 🦺 March for Progress! 🌹🐋

As a former journalist, I watch their report every night and find myself screaming at the TV when they do this stuff. How can they report Trump might not pay federal workers when he signed the law in 2019 requiring the government to do it during a shutdown? Journalistic malfeasance.

Legacy media is such a fucking joke.

Heater, an orange cat with BIG eyes, nestles herself in a sea of grey blankies.

Just want to remind everyone that little moments of joy are so important right now.

For instance, my cat does not understand the human concept of kisses beyond Incoming Nose = Love. So every time she’s happy, she’ll smush her face or shove her nose into ours.

Please share your joys with us.

Rep. Jamie Raskin has sent letters to four of the nation's largest banks demanding information related to "more than $1.5 billion in suspicious financial transactions flagged by the banks tied to sex trafficking crimes committed by Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and their co-conspirators."

Remember when the right used to talk about "personal responsibility"?

Now they're leaving the Conservative Party like rats from a sinking ship and rebranding themselves as Reform to avoid the blame for the years of destruction they inflicted on the country.

Keir Starmer is a plastic patriot just like Nigel Farage Reform and Labour can wrap themselves in as many union jacks as they want — this is what my country means to me, by Jeremy Corbyn

Real patriotism isn’t about bashing migrants or minorities. It’s about caring enough to ensure nobody is homeless, hungry or left behind.

It is pretty galling that the Supreme Court spent four years telling Biden "you can't do that without Congress" then allowed Trump to seize a once-unthinkable amount of power from Congress within nine months and concentrate law-making authority almost entirely in the executive branch.

20 paragraphs down in the NBC News story that broke the information that the administration is considering invoking the Insurrection Act is the report that Stephen Miller is driving the issue.

CBD helps.

Doing politics the right way is when the far-right regime in power memorializes a fallen influencer by terrorizing an academic that the influencer's McCarthyist organization once baselessly singled out for abuse.

CHICAGO — Outside an elementary school during dismissal… horrifying. What have we become?

NYT headline: "Rutgers Expert on Antifa Tries to Flee to Spain After Death Threats" subheadline: "Mark Bray was teaching courses on antifascism. Turning Point USA accused him of belonging to antifa, which he denies. His flight to Spain was canceled abruptly on Wednesday night."

you'd think a prominent news outlet like the New York Times might mention that "antifa" isn't an actual organization in a long story about antifa, but nope!

and the subhead helps props up a false claim this professor was up to something seedy as something up for debate

I went ahead and did the starting work for someone who wants to chase this angle. Most right-wing influencers who participated in the "Antifa" roundtable at the White House yesterday have easily provable ties to TPUSA (8 of 12). The other four need a closer look I don't have time for right now.

One of the crazy things about the AI bubble bursting is that consumer sentiment toward AI has always leaned skeptical to outright negative but it’s an industry propped up by pure billionaire greed, sycophancy, and childish fantasy

Credit where credit is due. The Democrats' message that the GOP shut down the government because they want to throw millions of people off healthcare has broken through. Two of my cousins who are NOT AT ALL tuned into national politics told me that this is why the government is shut down.

There's normal people, about 99% of us, who have to fight for all the money we get.

Then there's the scroungers, about 1% of people, who sit in mansions raking in money from all the work you do and all the things you have to buy which they own.

Never side with the scroungers.

WHO says ready to scale up health support following Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal The World Health Organization says it stands ready to scale up its support in Gaza following a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas.

This proves #ApartheidIsrael was intentionally starving #Gaza. The UN was ready to go at the drop of a hat. #IDF & the rabid Zionists intentionally prevented the trucks from entering.

Needing multiple streams of income to stay afloat is a societal failure not a personal one. You should be able to afford a comfortable lifestyle with one job. You are not lazy.

It really can't be said enough: the goal of the "anti-woke" movement was always to destroy social norms against bigotry. And it worked. And there's a whole lot of purportedly "left" thinkers & commentators who helped it -- indeed, it couldn't have been done without them.

They should feel bad.

The Atlantic, the NYT, the Post, the Free Press, Persuasion ... god, so many others ... they did it. They participated in the destruction of norms against bigotry & now bigotry is running rampant, out in the open, at the highest levels.

Great work everyone.

It’s SHAMEFUL to watch US Senators vote NO on the War Powers resolution & give this administration a blank check to bomb whoever the hell they want. The current conduct in the Caribbean is unconstitutional and unacceptable!

Time and time again, these cowards bend the knee.

Did DOGE save us $2 trillion?

“Not even close. .. Total spending excluding interest rose $220 billion, or 4%, for the entire fiscal year.” 🤡

Leo questioned a world where the wealth of the elite grows "exponentially" while many "millions of people die of hunger or survive in conditions unfit for human beings." He also criticized "ideologies that defend the absolute autonomy of the marketplace and financial speculation," with false promises "that a free-market economy will automatically solve the problem of poverty." Leo described a "new tyranny," which shuns any kind of oversight and where the economy is structured "in such a way that sacrifices are demanded of the masses in order to serve the needs of the powerful." The poor, he wrote, are only allowed "drops that trickle down." The pope openly challenged "prosperity theology" and called Christians to the practice of giving charity. "It will not solve the problem of world poverty, yet it must still be carried out, with intelligence, diligence and social responsibility," he wrote. Popular movements that challenge "the empire of money," invite people to take on the cause to combat poverty alongside the poor, instead of on their behalf, and "make history," the pope said. It our duty, Leo said, to "make their voices heard, albeit in different ways, in order to point out and denounce such structural issues, even at the cost of appearing foolish or naïve."

Pope Leo is spitting.

Billionaires own the media Billionaires own the homes. Billionaires own the food. Billionaires own the water. Billionaires own the power. Billionaires own the politicians. Billionaires own the problem.

We don't have rulers, we have owners.
We are ruled by the owning class, and until that changes nothing will change.

Holy shit y'all

I really hope Palestinians find some peace, but holding a gun to someone’s head when they’re on their knees in shackles and demanding they hand over their dignity to the psychos who murdered their family and flattened their home doesn’t seem like a good basis for lasting peace.
