There’s no daylight between what Candace says here about “the Jews” & what Nazi propagandists & Father Coughlin said about the Jews in the 1930s. Her show is one of the top 5 “conservative” podcasts in the US. She has 5.5 million subscribers on YouTube and 7.3 million followers on X.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

A tweet from Melat Kiros for Congress reads: “I’m sure it’ll trickle down any day now.” It quotes John Fugelsang’s tweet, which says: “The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year. In 1981, the year trickle-down economics began, it was 31.”

It started with Reagan and has accelerated under Trump.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

A second generation nepo baby, raised by a pair of sociopaths and given every advantage in the world. I'm sure this story will end well.

Orville and Mavis, experimenting with sexy-time locations, try a road/trail sign.

Feed, by Mira Grant (2010). As much a political thriller as a zombie/horror title, it was remarkably prescient about the effects of a pandemic, including the rise of Christian Nationalists, who were/are willing to use fear & lies to sacrifice the lives of Americans while pursuing & wielding power.

Maga is fundamentally a populist white racism. The slogan "Make America Great Again" is more accurately described as "Make White America Greater." The fact that the tariff policy insisted on a 50% tariff only on steel and aluminum stems from the concentration of these groups in the Rust Belt.

The massive crackdown on illegal immigrants at the Hyundai-LG Energy Solutions joint venture plant in Georgia must be understood in this context. The scenes of our workers being chained and escorted away were reminiscent of the dragging of African slaves in the 18th and 19th centuries. The Department of Homeland Security boasted of "the largest single-site raid in history," and Immigration and Customs Enforcement even brazenly released footage of the raid, which was highly violating human rights, as if to boast of their "achievement."

Far-right whites may have secretly rejoiced. Even politicians like the Georgia governor and local lawmakers, who had been active in attracting factories, have shifted their stance and sympathized with their grievances. This is likely because it's difficult to ignore the anti-immigrant sentiment of native Americans. Like the McCarthyism that swept through American society in the 1950s, irrational madness dominates American society. The recent visa issue, which could have been resolved diplomatically with advance notice from an ally, is difficult to explain beyond political maneuvering. The fact that they mobilized helicopters and armored vehicles for show, as if they had been caught, is difficult to explain.

idk if you've seen this south korean editorial that ran a few days ago. google translate version scorched my eyebrows www.hani.co.kr/arti/opinion...

reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle

REPORTER: Mr. President, my condolences to you, Sir. My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. [unintelligible] How are you holding up over the last day and a half, Sir? TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there, you see all the trucks? They've just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get, as you know, for about 150 years. And it's gonna be a beauty. Absolutely magnificent construction. We just started, so it'll get done very nicely. And it will be one of the best anywhere in the world, actually.

REPORTER: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk.
How are you holding up, sir?

TRUMP: THE NEW BALLROOM IS GONNA BE A BEAUTY!!

This fucking guy, man.

Sociopaths or psychopaths? Gotta be one or the other. They either don't care if kids or the immunocompromised die, or they are hoping they do.

Last night, chants of “FREE DC” echoed loud and clear through the Washington Spirit broadcast, absolutely incredible. Huge shoutout to everyone who made noise. Free DC is doing amazing work! ✊💚

Gramps got out again, climbed up onto the roof, and, once more, is yelling at a cloud. Somebody go up, speak to him gently, bring him down, and put him to bed. Please.

He’s got a good case, but the devil’s in the micro things.

Trump misheard the lyrics to the old Beach Boys’ song and in a fit of narcissistic dementia, thought they were his foreign policy…
