Get out before we drag you out.

Fire Elon

He's a greater LIABILITY to every company than a leader.

He's as toxic as the crap his companies produce.

My late father, from North Dakota, who spent his post-military career engineering for NOAA, would agree wholeheartedly

ATC workers CANNOT be easily replaced by scabs.

The national economy would be drastically impacted.

Everyone knows exactly who would be responsible, should that happen.

Just sayin'

Which could be AS effective as. General strike!

General may not be needed. ATF workers alone can cripple the national economy, without jeopardizing every worker from shore to shore. And they are PLENTY mad enough to do it, for their own sake, alone!

That eyebrow scar will make the AI face match an easy 100%

Beware of these open enrollment scams involving Medicare, Healthcare.gov The Better Business Bureau is warning people about scams involving open enrollment for Medicare and Healthcare.gov.

Open enrollment is underway for Medicare, which means that bad actors are looking for a way to take advantage. Protect yourself and be aware of what's out there: https://www.wral.com/consumer/5onyourside/open-enrollment-scams-medicare-healthcaregov-2025/

While Trump murders people on boats for supposedly trafficking drugs, Jonathan Braun, a convicted drug trafficker serving a 10 year sentence he pardoned in 2021, will be sentenced in court today after he sexually assaulted a woman after Trump freed him from prison.

Tax the Rolexes outta these mega-churches!

From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president.

The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

Keep organizing, y’all. It is, and always has been, on all of us.

If your government sends a $40B "gift" to another country while refusing to feed its own children, you need another government. There's nothing wrong with foreign aid (in most cases); but there is something wrong with letting kids and veterans go hungry while sending it.

Today I wrote about the Trump’s latest effort to pardon his election denier henchmen. While we may be focused on the shutdown, Trump continues to subvert democracy and target free and fair elections. I started Democracy Docket in 2020 to expose just this. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

I Want You to Understand Chicago Politics Chicago 2025-11-08 I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago. On September 19th, Reverend David Black, lead pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying outside the ICE detention center in Broadview when a DHS agent shot him in the head with pepper balls. Pepper balls are never supposed to be fired at the head because they can seriously injure, or even kill. “We could hear them laughing as they were shooting us from the roof,” Black recalled. He is not the only member of the clergy ICE has assaulted. Methodist pastor Hannah Kardon was violently arrested on October 17th, and Baptist pastor Michael Woolf was shot with pepper balls on November 1st. Understand what it is to sleep in Chicago. On the night of September 30th, federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter to execute a raid on an apartment building on the South Sho…

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

And give them 30 days to liquidate, or forfeiture. That will stimulate the market!

A 50 year mortgage is...
just paying mortgage interest rent.

Man responsible for US Transportation, complains about mismanagement of US transportation.

The current vice president is under the wing of the Antichrist. Ask Doug Wilson how he feels about that.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Which means its been a problem for a long time.
Just because one (non-sustainable) patch was used doesn't mean the problem itself shouldn't be reconsidered

Emptying its waste tanks directly into the ocean as soon as its out of jurisdictional reach

It appears that Donald Trump’s angry social media posts have once again landed him in hot water in the courts: The judge said the president and his allies had openly admitted they were withholding funding for SNAP benefits for “political reasons.” trib.al/b6pDD5E

He must have rebranded Trump Steaks as Boxed Beef

Trump is just greasing his escape route to avoid persecution once the streets start flowing MAGA tears

Time to IMPEACH!!
