PRO TIP: If you want the Nobel Peace Prize, you might not wanna kidnap fathers, zip-tie kids, shoot priests, rip moms from carpool lines, and terrorize entire otherwise peaceful cities.

We continue to mourn the deaths of Israelis and Palestinians in the aftermath of October 7, 2023. We continue to call for the end of Netanyahu's genocide of the Palestinian people, an assault that has taken thousands and thousands of innocent lives and intensified unbearable suffering.

JD Vance, your tweet is nothing but a disgusting lie. Undocumented immigrants do not get federal healthcare you’re deliberately deceiving people. This kind of gutter-level fearmongering proves you have no solutions, only hate. Stop insulting the public’s intelligence with your shameless dishonesty.

The image shows an X post by Garry Kasparov (@Kasparov) from 14 hours ago. In the post, he warns that critics, opposition groups, protesters, or anyone targeted may be labeled as extremists, Antifa, or left-wing terrorists. He suggests that laws on extremist speech and actions could be passed, with emergency powers invoked if necessary.

The image is a screenshot of an X post from @BulwarkOnline. The post quotes Stephen Miller saying, "This is the first time in American history that there is an all-of-government effort to dismantle left-wing terrorism, to dismantle Antifa...We are now going to use the entire force of the federal government to uproot these organizations root and branch." The image shows a group of people in a formal setting, likely a government office, with an American flag in the background and a person signing a document at a desk.

four frame comic. someone with a microphone is doing a voxpop in front of a supermarket. he asks a buff guy with a red cap : sir! in the wake of Charlie Kirk's death, do you think the left is incapable of respectful debates? the guy replies : kirk thought women, people of colour and trans people didn't deserve their rights. Entertaining his ideas in a debate is actively legitimizing them. Why did he only debate college kids instead of other pro debaters like himself? he wasn't interested in debates, he was on a mission to radicalize the youth by normalizing his hateful discourse in the public space. which is precisely what he has been accusing teachers who were making their classrooms inclusive of doing, as he was doxxing them on his website to ruin their lives. is that your idea of a "respectful debate"?

Pulte tried to help Trump by targeting a Fed governor with the same B.S. claim used against Letitia James and Adam Schiff. It fell apart fast.

Gavin Newsom passed the Montreal Cognitive Assessment today by reciting "Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV. Where. Are. The. Epstein. Files." and said doctors have never seen anything like it.

AI is already taking jobs away from entry-level workers Software and customer service are most at risk right now and could be the canary in the coal mine.

Remember, kids: A real big goal of "AI" is to entirely sever capital from labor, and no, there will be no universal basic income, you can all just starve and die, thanks

graph of tariffs collected over time

graph of tariffs collected over time

The US brought in nearly $30 Billion in tariffs in July, triple the amount collected in previous years

That's not good news

Tariffs are taxes on Americans

That $30B was collected from you and me when we bought food, clothes, electronics...

The "Christians" Mocking Jesus and Defunding The Least of These It’s been said that a budget is a moral document.

GOP leadership and voters in the rank-and-file who co-sign their predatory actions toward those who are the most in need of compassion and mercy in these days are saying with great clarity: "To hell with you, Jesus, we don't give a damn about you."
