The Fall Guy

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

It horrifies me that a tiny handful of people are allowed to CHANGE THE SKY for all humans. Forever.

Supertramp releases “Goodbye Stranger” 46 years ago today — a song Rick Davies wrote on his childhood piano.

Is it about a one-night stand, inspired by the band’s adventures on the road?

“Yeah, it is. It turned out to be that. I didn’t know what it was when I wrote it.”

Biden wasn’t president yet. These folks aren’t too bright

These are agents who were sent AFTER the violent insurrection was well underway. Kash Patel issued a statement that said that after a fringe right wing outlet reported it falsely. But Trump chooses to run with the lie from them rather than the statement from his FBI Director.

Take it back from what?
These people are pathetic and constantly triggered.
They're too stupid to know Puerto Rico is part of the US, and Puerto Ricans are American citizens.
They control every part of the government, but they somehow need to "take the country back".
Pathetic babies

The people who want violent protests to happen are Trump, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Pete Hegseth, Tom Homan, and other senior appointees in his admin. They are doing everything they possibly can to provoke people to violence and it is obvious that is what they hope for daily.

That is different from what the admin said. They claimed it was coming out of DOD R&D funds. Tariff money cannot be touched by the Trump Regime without congressional approval.

Trump’s “Enemy Within”: How Fascist Rhetoric Became U.S. Policy Behind talk of “vermin” and “enemies,” Trump’s administration is mobilizing the tools of state power against its own citizens.

Trump’s rhetoric has crossed a line — from “Deep State” conspiracy to open fascist playbook.

Tweet from MeidasTouch: “Wow that’s crazy. Who’s running the federal government?” Below, Acyn’s tweet quotes Rep. Mike Johnson: “If you look at polling, people’s faith in the federal government is at an all-time low. Why? Because they don’t see that it’s being done well.” A C-SPAN screenshot shows Johnson speaking with another man standing beside him.

Last I checked the GOP controls all branches of our government.

Dear PM @albomp.bsky.social
You're supposed to be the PM of an independent sovereign nation. Australians don't want a PM who will obsequiously fawn over Donald Trump. You speak as if Australia is a vassal state of the corrupt US Empire. Shame on you. #auspol #USPolitics #EndAUKUS

Tens of thousands of Palestinians are walking back to Gaza City as the Israeli military begins its withdrawal from the area following the ceasefire agreement.

M.I.T. Rejects a White House Offer for Special Funding Treatment

It's clearer by the day that Columbia making a deal with Trump in July was a catastrophe for higher education as a whole. It gave terrible people a bottomless appetite for extortion. The other eight universities must follow MIT's lead.

Good point. Correction. Thanks.

And so ends one of the great bands of our time, The Moody Blues, as we say goodbye to the genius of John Lodge, the last member to shuffle off this mortal coil.

Play this, and remember how lucky we were to have this band in our lives: youtu.be/AXKPtFzwPmg

You should not control a nuclear arsenal if you cannot tell the difference between fiction and reality. The story needs to be told through the lens of mental illness

Yes, that was as obvious as the bronzer on his bloated face. And now there will be retribution rained down upon someone's head. And so the cycle goes.

Miriam Margolyes is just a warrior woman. That's the post.

She said it all.

Finally, Miriam Margoyles has publicly stated what we've all been thinking for two years.

All Jewish people aren't bad, but a section of the Israeli population are just evil, proper bastards!

Watch - she's wonderful. 🙏

The GRIFT NEVER STOPS
#TrumpShutdown

In the middle of the
Government Shutdown
Where millions of Americans are struggling
Skyrocketing Health Insurance premiums on the horizon
Loss of Medicaid & Healthcare
Rural Hospitals closing
Grocery prices soar
No Federal workers paid
He doesn't care

When Laura Loonie flips, you know it's all on the road to hell. Progress is being made. 🤞🙏

Nothing says “America First” like letting another country put an Air Force base in Idaho

Here’s the true cost of Donald Trump’s “unconditional donation” of a $400 M luxury aircraft gifted to him by Qatar.

Just shows that she knows nothing about anything, and is hoping that the staff will give her answers for the Board. Square peg, round hole!
