Useless trivia: Theirs was the first recorded version of “Love Will Keep Us Together.” (Their 1975 UK hit “Like a Butterfly” is a bop too.)

Marc Lobliner post on X: "Why the hell are we giving food stamps to 40 million people? Does anyone work anymore?"

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.

Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:

* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled

* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

Your liberal media at work.

This Bush-Bush- McCain-Romney-Trump-Trump voter is exactly the kind of moderate the Democrats need to win back.

My cab driver in Arkansas was a Bush-McCain-Romney-Trump-Trump-Trump voter. He said he hadn't given much thought to the 2028 election, but that if Zohran Mamdani becomes mayor of New York, the Democrats can kiss his vote goodbye.

Financial Times headline says “critics accuse” Trump of extrajudicial killings

I’m sorry, why are we using “critics accuse” language here? These are factually, unambiguously, extrajudicial killings. It’s not an opinion. It’s not a disputed or disputable claim.

I spend all this time trying to figure out what the master plan is, and it always hits me: nothing. Just conspiracy brain worms all the way down. And the most smug self-righteousness as Kennedy and cronies destroy over a century of concerted scientific effort and hard work.

Ah.

“Mellon, the 77-year-old … who poured $30 million into 3 GOP super PACs in 5 months, wrote that black people were ‘even more belligerent’ after the expansion of social programs in the 1960s and 1970s and that Americans who rely on government assistance were ‘slaves of a new Master, Uncle Sam.’”

Every day, it seems like we tick a little bit closer to midnight.

Would be great if the GOP Congress would quit sleepwalking through this.

I believe this is called juxtaposition

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

OFA Media is in Portland, OR. 5h・ BREAKING: My team has removed and recovered 15-20 fliers of @icegov agents being doxed around Portland, Oregon. Fliers include full names, addresses, and images of ICE agents. This is what the media WON'T show you. Disgusting. Bring in the troops. BREAKING: We recovered 15-20 fliers in Portland of ICE agents' names, address, photos @DAVIDMEDINAPDX LIKEISAID, WECAN'T SHOW YOU THIS

Joe McCarthy would be so proud. A J6er now working as a lead MAGA influencer in Oregon says his “team” found flyers in Portland doxxing ICE agents but he can’t show them to you…

I despise that jolly chucklefuck with every fiber of my being.

YouTube video by Zohran Mamdani for NYC My Message to Muslim New Yorkers — and Everyone Who Calls This City Home.

The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker.

And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows.

No more.

Thank you, Chicago.

I assumed that second quote was satire, or at least a paraphrase. It’s not. The thug trash said that.

This is what oligarchy looks like:

Trump gave corporate America a $920 billion tax break.

Now, corporations like Amazon, Meta, Apple, Google & Lockheed Martin are returning the favor by giving Trump $300 million for a fancy ballroom.

That’s a pretty good return on investment.

Why Future Federal Election Security Reports May Be Unreliable By promoting an activist with a history of false election claims, the Department of Homeland Security is damaging its credibility.

The Department of Homeland Security created a new job — “deputy assistant secretary for elections integrity” — then gave it to a known election denier. We debunk her false claims:

It’s past time to upgrade the criticism of @nytimes.com leadership from “sanewashing” to “democracywashing”.

“Democracy-washing”:
When news journalists / editors / media orgs present the news distorting the reality the US is no longer operating as constitutional democracy with rule of law.

Always something when a lazy rich cunt says that the goal of healthcare isn’t to improve your happiness or quality of life but is to make sure you can work harder and longer

Yours is actually less insane than what's written now.
