The people are sick of being lied to. We can’t afford NOT to do it. #MedicareForAll

The word gaslighting gets thrown around a lot these days, but I gotta say that the neo-Nazi party claiming to be so concerned about antisemitism that they have to destroy American higher education is a profoundly weird experience.

Elon Musk is a symbol of American collapse in many ways, but one of the big ones is how for years he has constantly engaged in multi-billion-dollar securities and consumer fraud, and the "consequence" has been him making billions more, including from the federal government paying him directly.

Economist Amartya Sen won a Nobel in part for asking: Why did India avoid the mass famines that killed tens of millions in China? His answer: a free press. Journalists could expose suffering and shame governments into action. Silence and avoidance, by contrast, can be deadly.

"80 million jobs were added in june, very nice very nice. 300 million jobs added in july, even better. but this month mr president, 2 billion jobs were added," I confidently declare, doing the easiest job in the world so i can own a home in a walkable neighborhood

"Good news all around" -- Newsmax hosts blatantly lie to viewers about the terrible July jobs report, then immediately pivot to pushing conspiracy theories about Hillary Clinton

Does he have any information that might clear Trump from any association with Epstein's crimes? If so, or if he's willing to lie, I might have a pretty good deal for him.

Carolyn Bryant, the woman who accused Emmett Till of whistling at her and whose lie led to his lynching, never apologized or recanted. She died in 2023.
That lie was her identity. Giving it up would mean giving up her whole life.
Trumpers are like that, too.

Kyiv is in mourning today.

As a result of yesterday's massive shelling, 31 people were killed. Among them, 5 children. The youngest was only 2 years old. 159 people were injured. Both adults and children are in hospitals. Eternal memory to the victims 🕯️

Another day, another reminder...

oh they will definitely hold that the 14th and 15th amendments dictate that nothing can be done to ameliorate racial inequality or past racial discrimination, even in voting and representation, despite the fact that the text of both amendments clearly allows for such.

Firing the head of the BLS and replacing her with Trump’s accountant from his small family business who helped do crimes is one of the most tin-pot dictator things he’s ever done.

Stupid, pathetic, horrific, incredibly damaging, transparently corrupt, and somehow incredibly funny—that’s Trump.

Me three months ago:

Firing the BLS Commissioner — the wonk in charge of the statisticians who track economic reality — is an authoritarian four alarm fire.

It will also backfire: You can't bend economic reality, but you can break the trust of markets. And biased data yields worse policy.

i know this is quaint of me but the white house renovation is crazy illegal and actually really emblematic of how trump sees the presidency as belonging to him

Trumpism has proven the Jamie Dimons of the world are nihilists at heart. They don't care about anything, not America, democracy, law, nor even capitalism. All their chest-puffing about the importance of free markets, liberty, and prosperity gone instantly in favor of an aging addled authoritarian.

if you continuously "meet in the middle" with people full sprinting right, which direction are you moving?

First, the election was rigged. Now, the jobs number. Blaming anyone else but himself as usual.

Family of Virginia Giuffre re: Ghislaine Maxwell prison transfer

"It's w/ horror & outrage that we object to the preferential treatment convicted sex trafficker G. Maxwell has received.. Maxwell is a sexual predator who physically assaulted minor children.. she should never be shown any leniency"

What a disgrace

"How can we communicate with optimism about the future … when we're living in the here and now where American democracy is in peril? … And we're supposed to ignore it? Leave it to others to wrestle with …? No no no no no. …

"That is tonight's Last Word on my last day at the Washington Post."

Ghislaine Maxwell moved to lower-security prison in Texas Her attorney did not explain why she was moved from a detention facility in Florida, where she is serving 20 years for sex trafficking.

Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein’s imprisoned associate, has been moved to a lower-security prison, her attorney said.

Maxwell, who was convicted in 2021 on sex-trafficking charges, had been serving her 20-year sentence at a low security prison.

Ghislaine Maxwell Moved to Minimum-Security Women’s Prison in Texas

There it is.

I kinda think the way people use ChatGPT is sort of aspirational because it seems to emulate the way rich people have sycophants lying to them all the time until they lose touch with reality and also their entire minds

Pro-business!!!

Alan Dershowitz should leave MV for ACK. Would be a much friendlier island, although he might be priced out of the market at this point.
