Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

that johnson is more terrified of seating a duly elected democrat who could force an epstein vote than having the entire government shut down really makes me wonder about that epstein vote tbh

Spotify is now running ICE recruitment advertisements.

Hadn’t realized we reached the Fascist Leader Talking In An Endless Loop At Sites Of Mass Transit stage of the dystopia.

Good to know.

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage

This man is being Gorilla Channel'd with a rotating selection of AI slop riot porn by several known white supremacists who are secretly running the government.

They hate us for our freedoms, man, I dunno what else to say

Lord give us the Democrats that Republicans warn us about.

So crude is down, stocks are down, bonds are tumbling and.... Bessent and Trump are bailing out Argentina with $20 billion and buying up Argentine pesos.

A restraining order was issued YESTERDAY by a federal judge barring detention of journalists in this district unless they refuse to reposition themselves and are given adequate time to do so, or there’s probable cause they’ve committed a crime.

A big thanks to @mit.edu. Their saying NO to the compact will hopefully make it easier for smaller schools to say no as well. This is a collective action problem & MIT is signalling they're choosing cooperation over self interest. Too bad @columbiauniversity.bsky.social didn't do this earlier

That's right. Laugh right at these sweaty losers and double down on the peaceful protests against them.

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

Every day you don’t spent money and stash that cash instead, is another day you’re preparing for a general strike.

I was in rural Wisconsin and it was the same there. As one of the only kids who didn't go to church, I was super used to being dragged along to all the religious after school activities. And then young life came along and it was all exclusive and shit and I was so relieved 🤣

Welcome to the Health Insurance Marketplace® Welcome to the Health Insurance Marketplace®. Official government website.

Many people have been asking why Obamacare/HealthCare.gov premiums will double on average next year.

Here's why: In 2021, Democrats voted to increase financial help for people buying health insurance through HealthCare.gov. In 2022, we extended this assistance through the end of 2025.

Young Life was such a fucking cult...even for evangelicals.

Oh my god my brain just fucking exploded...the number of variables and data points he just glosses over in less than 10 seconds to jump to these conclusions...holy shit. I cannot believe the country is run by such sadistic morons

If this stuff would end up on the news it would absolutely motivate voters. Plenty of people who don't give a shit about politics would absolutely give af about this.

The Pernicious Myth of Fentanyl-Laced Cannabis Despite periodic media outcry, there's no evidence that this happens. Even if it did, the practicalities of ingestion would limit any danger.

The amazing @clairezagorski.bsky.social explained why this is not a real thing and why this myth is harmful.

But the single most important thing everyone should know if you don’t want to worry about contaminated, unpredictable, and unsafe drugs is that the only solution is to legalize and regulate.

he's going to come after you either way, so you might as well act with integrity

As I observed in my Substack Round Up this past week, the endgame of the military strikes against drug cartels in international waters is to lay the groundwork to use lethal military force against Americans at home. Pay attention open.substack.com/pub/asharang...

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton Is Outsourcing More of His Office’s Work to Costly Private Lawyers Despite having an office of hundreds of attorneys, Ken Paxton is frequently opting for private lawyers — many to whom he has personal or political ties — to argue on behalf of Texas. One attorney cost...

Texas AG Ken Paxton hired a former staffer to work on a recent case. As a state employee, her labor would have cost taxpayers $641.

As a private attorney, Paxton allowed her to bill $3,780 an hour, so that day of work cost taxpayers $24,570.

Despotism is un-American and unaffordable.

If you were determined to devastate places like the Arkansas Delta, where I grew up, you'd be hard pressed to come up with a more destructive set of policies. It's soybeans and rice as far as the eye can see. It's not an incidental fraction of the local economy, it is the entire foundation of it.

It's been two weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected and Mike Johnson has still refused to seat her, unlike in past cases where he swore in new members within 24 hours.

There cannot be one set of rules for Rs and another for Ds.

Also, release the damn Epstein files already.

To put it another way, I have represented thousands of people. I cannot think of a single instance in which the initial police report was entirely correct. Not one.

Journalists, please stop copying them down as if they were. Or at least give context re credibility!
