Dilbert creator taps Trump to get cancer drug. Others wish they could, too Like many Americans, Scott Adams had insurance problems. But unlike most people he has powerful friends on social media, and when he asked President Trump for help, he got the cancer drug he needed.

From MeidasTouch Legal AF: The Convicted FElon DOJ is now deleting court documents on J6 terrorists who have been in trouble with law repeatedly. The DOJ was caught when a judge noticed a document missing on a J6'er, who wanted to bomb Obama's home & was convicted for it. I bet these are ICE now.

😢 Betty Ford once said that "if the White House West Wing is the mind of the nation then the East Wing is the heart.”

Well, it's gone now, because we have a grotesque president who is sick in the mind, and was born without a heart.

To hell with him -- and soon, please.

At a certain point in Turkey, virtually every non-public person I interviewed refused to give their last name. Eventually I stopped even writing "______ declined to give his/her last name for fear of government reprisal," because it became redundant, and editors understood. But here's the thing...

A $40 million bailout for Argentina because they’re an “ally” but longtime top trading partner Canada is running a psyops program by airing a commercial which accurately quotes President Reagan so we slap tariffs on them

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

Republicans would rather you go into insane debt, bankrupt or lose your life...

If you have a heartattack, need live-saving surgery and a stay in the ICU, it can cost you approx $200-400k without insurance.

805+ people in the US have a heart attack each year.

F*ck Republicans

Bonobos transformed how we think about animal societies. Can we save the last of the ‘hippy apes’? They are peaceful, female-led and use sex in everyday interactions. Now a new conservation scheme could offer a lifeline to our critically endangered close relatives living on the Congo river

Thomas Paine, American Crisis:

"THESE are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman."

George Santos is the 10th GOP Congressman to get a pardon or clemency from President Trump. The other nine were also all convicted of various criminal charges:

The Voting Rights Act Is a Lesson in Overcoming Setbacks While the Voting Rights Act was undoubtedly a singular achievement, it represented the culmination of a long struggle.

Racism is the reason the Voting Rights Act was made into law in the first place!

When were White people ever denied voting rights in America prior to VRA or discriminated against at all?🤔

I'll wait. 🔥☕️

He gives $20 Billion of OUR dollars to bailout Argentina without consulting Congress or the American people. Does that seem like the actions of a KING to you?

How Charlie Chaplin used his uncanny resemblance to Hitler to fight fascism It's been 85 years since The Great Dictator first dazzled audiences in 1940. It was a big risk for one of the world's most popular performers to take a stand against fascism on film.

Mexican Americans wait to be repatriated to Mexico in the 1930s.

#ResistanceRoots
#NationalHispanicHeritageMonth

Between 1929 and 1936, as many as 2 million people of Mexican descent were repatriated or deported to Mexico. The Mexican Repatriation program was presented as a means of opening up jobs for Americans but was actually driven by nativist sentiment. /1

It feels like the conventional wisdom already

Walking Away From Omelas Christopher Slatsky follows Ursula K. Le Guin in asking difficult questions.

"The title novella of the aforementioned collection, 'The Immeasurable Corpse of Nature,' strongly suggests that inducing discomfort in the reader—mental, emotional, and at times even edging toward the physical—is where Slatsky flourishes." www.thebulwark.com/p/walking-aw...

There is a certain kind of Army officer who, after the excitement of company command, finds his career stalled, and who perhaps leaves the service as a major in the National Guard filled with bitterness and resentment. He may then dream of one day being in a position to make all the superior officers who failed to appreciate his leadership qualities, his insight, his sheer fitness stand to attention and hear him lay down the law about what it is to be an officer, and threaten to fire those who do not meet his standards. In this respect, and this respect only, on that stage Pete Hegseth was living the dream. In all other respects, however, he was ridiculous...

I did not expect this kind of fire from Eliot Cohen, but he has Hegseth absolutely pegged www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

When you are totally out of ideas

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!"

Social Security - "That's socialism!"

Debt free education - "That's socialism!"

Universal childcare - "That's socialism!"

Bailing out a failed libertarian austerity agenda in Argentina...

"That's just how it is."

Remember when Disney fought fascism?

This broken clock is correct - for better or worse speech that another country is considered hate speech is protected speech here. Figures MAGA would be the ones to try to introduce “hate speech” laws.

The Hyundai arrests “could significantly impact future direct investment in the U.S.,” said South Korea’s President.

South Korean companies “can’t help hesitating a lot” about making new investments .. if their workers are liable to end up in detention ..”
