Tipi Hayes Word

Ok, I couldn't stop thinking about this. Apologies to the literally dozens of people I've lifted from... I want to do a fully credited version, but I'm sitting here sobbing and, well, maybe you'll feel some release, too.

Should be impeached and removed from office for this alone

Hey House Republicans, fixed your work for you. If you want to condemn political violence pass a resolution without lies and poison pills that unites not divides. Kirk manufactured lies and hate, including about me & twin and poisoned young minds.

Robert Reich How Corporations Crush the Working Class | Robert Reich

Corporate America’s playbook:

1) Exploit workers to maximize profits
2) Use profits to buy Congress
3) Use Congress to pass union-busting laws
4) Use these laws to further exploit workers
5) Repeat

Let's break the cycle and keep building back a powerful labor movement.

"A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people."

—The Declaration of Independence

U.S. taxpayers have spent $24 billion on Netanyahu's horrific war in Gaza. Instead of starving children, that money could pay for:

700,000 public housing units
500,000 low-income kids receiving health care
500,000 veterans receiving VA care
600,000 kids in Head Start

Combined.

Inside the movement that freed gay makeup artist Andry Hernández Romero from a hellhole The U.S. government under Trump tried to disappear a gay Venezuelan man seeking asylum to a torture prison in El Salvador indefinitely. A coalition of Americans didn’t let them.

"The US government under Trump tried to disappear a gay Venezuelan man seeking asylum to a torture prison in El Salvador indefinitely...

"A coalition of Americans *didn’t let them*"

Great @cwnewser.bsky.social story on the movement to free Andry Hernández Romero:

how about this main-stream media: YES IT IS DO YOUR FRIKKEN JOB

A large portion of our press is owned by billionaires who want to do businesses with our federal government. They aren't going to allow bad stories about Trump to get published because T will get even with them. Disgusting.

Like McCarthyism meets 1984

Robert Reich The Real Reason the Economy Might Collapse | Robert Reich

The rich don’t spend the money they have, and the poor don’t have money to spend.

This is a problem when 70% of the economy relies on consumer spending.

Closing our nation's wealth gap isn’t just the right thing to do. It’s essential to save our economy. https://youtu.be/S6dCh48b4oI?feature=shared

Just like Trump inviting the Taliban to Camp David, inviting Putin to Alaska stinks. The only legitimate reason for Putin to set foot in the U.S. is to arrest him as a war criminal and send him to The Hague for trial. Trump looks like a weakling trying to “Reset” with Russia.

And here it is. Property rights and a market economy cannot survive this authoritarian assault.

Multiple times this year I’ve had coffee with fellow immigrants who grew up in corrupt third world countries and the shared sentiment has been that Americans don’t understand how bad things are going to get.

Unprecedented corruption

Veterans’ Care at Risk Under Trump as Hundreds of Doctors and Nurses Reject Working at VA Hospitals Amid concerns about the stability of the agency, records show nearly 40% of the doctors offered jobs at the VA from January through March of this year turned them down — quadruple the rate of rejectio...

Many job applicants are turning down offers to work for Veterans Affairs, worried that the positions are not stable and uneasy with the overall direction of the agency.

Records show nearly 40% of the ~2,000 doctors offered jobs at the VA from January through March of this year turned them down.

The Green Beret of Gaza Gaza Humanitarian Foundation contractor Anthony Aguilar describes witnessing war crimes.

New — I wrote about Lieutenant-Colonel Anthony Aguilar, a former contractor for the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, and his harrowing stories of what he witnessed while being there under the guise of distributing food aid to starving Palestinian civilians:

i really want to thank paramount and CBS news for further eroding trust in the media, something with which we definitely needed help. the journalism community is grateful for your sacrifice.

COWARDS!! I'M DONE WITH THEM

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!"

Social Security - "That's socialism!"

Debt free education - "That's socialism!"

Universal childcare - "That's socialism!"

$1 trillion+ in tax cuts for the wealthy...

"That's just how it is."

Worth remembering that Pete Hegseth’s National Guard unit did not trust him to serve in DC post Jan. 6th. His own unit commanders who knew him best.

I thought that rules of engagement came before deployment.

North Dakota Ethics Commission Has No Authority to Punish Officials Violating Ethics Laws, State Leaders Argue Voters created an ethics watchdog agency seven years ago. But officials keep pushing to weaken it, even as North Dakotans are filing a record number of complaints.

NEW: Seven years after North Dakotans voted to amend the constitution and create an ethics commission, state officials are claiming the agency cannot actually impose penalties for ethics violations.

Second, and relatedly, the federal government took a very different view of the 2022 incident when it occurred. There was no overt evidence that Abrego Garcia was smuggling immigrants across the country, as prosecutors now claim. At the time, any inference of human trafficking rested entirely on circumstantial evidence and racial profiling. (A known construction worker, Abrego Garcia reported that he and his passengers were on their way to a construction site.) After pulling him over, Tennessee police reported Abrego Garcia and his passengers to federal law enforcement-but federal officers directed local police to let them continue along their way. The federal government did not see fit to even detain or investigate him then. Now it has brought felony charges against him. What changed-other than the president and his suddenly urgent desire to find a justification for his blatantly unlawful rendition program?

This is why healthcare is too expensive.

"Here’s a wild-but-true factoid: 10 of the 20 largest companies on the new Fortune 500 list derive profit from the 340B program. I guess you can’t throw off tens of billions of profits without titans of industry figuring out how to get their hands on it."
