This is a time in our nation's history that will be remembered for all the broken fools who needed so much attention.

The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed.

Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyrannyβ€”they’re currently enabling it.

When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.

According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information.

Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?

It's our responsibility as adults to keep our dtp vaccines up to date, to protect newborns and also little ones with stupid parents. The T in dtp stands for tetanus, if you ever cut yourself, you're at risk for tetanus.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Jeff Bezos paid $50 million for a wedding. He just got a $16 billion tax break. He just laid off 60,000 people.

And you're furious about a kid getting a free school lunch?

Epstein offered the NY Times photos of Trump with young girls in bikinis during his first campaign in 2015.

The NY Times declined them because they were just too busy hyperventilating over Hillary’s private email server.

Support independent media.

So he’s saying all the tariff money we took in is gone and we won’t be able to pay it back. There was always a possibility he could lose this lawsuit and have to refund the tariff money. We didn’t prepare for that possibility? He’s running the govt like he ran his casinos.

Whistleblower tells House Democrats: Ghislaine Maxwell is preparing a commutation request to Donald Trumpβ€”while allegedly receiving β€œconcierge-style” treatment in prison.

The outrage writes itself.

There is nothing an American president could do worse for his own people than starving the poor right before Thanksgiving.

Except for, I don’t know, lying about a plague and getting a million of his own citizens killed. Oh wait, let’s also not forget the time that he:

It seems like so many people on the right should be aligned with so many people on the left over the doomsday existential threat of AI and robotics in the hands of a handful of greedy oligarchs. But they have succeeded in pitting us against each other with culture war drivel.

Did an image search, yep I follow them.

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it).

But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that
