“America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves. To quote the American humorist Kin Hubbard, 'It ain’t no disgrace to be poor, but it might as well be.' It is in fact a crime for an American to be poor, even though America is a nation of poor. Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous, and therefore more estimable than anyone with power and gold. No such tales are told by the American poor. They mock themselves and glorify their betters. The meanest eating or drinking establishment, owned by a man who is himself poor, is very likely to have a sign on its wall asking this cruel question: 'if you’re so smart, why ain’t you rich?' There will also be an American flag no larger than a child’s hand – glued to a lollipop stick and flying from the cash register. Americans, like human beings everywhere, believe many things that are obviously untrue. Their most destructive untruth is that it is very easy for any American to make money. They will not acknowledge how in fact hard money is to come by, and, therefore, those who have no money blame and blame and blame themselves. This inward blame has been a treasure for the rich and powerful, who have had to do less for their poor, publicly and privately, than any other ruling class since, say Napoleonic times. Many novelties have come from America. The most startling of these, a thing without precedent, is a mass of undignified poor. They do not love one another because they do not love themselves.”

reading slaughterhouse 5 for the first time and i was absolutely knocked senseless by this passage, which is so true and relevant that it feels like it was pulled from a history book

10/24/25💡BRAVE/Intelligent USA citizen abducted by ICE in Chicago. No charges, no due process, no explanation, no idea where he is now🇺🇸🤬

This is located in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago, close to Fullerton and Sheffield. It's a densely populated area near DePaul University. I'm pleased to see the community standing up against these despicable individuals.

As you can see, contrary to Stephen Miller’s dangerous and unhinged rhetoric, I met nothing but friendly & peaceful protestors in Erie at the No Kings rally — our sixth stop today!

No Kings rally in Franklin, Indiana!! At least 200 strong and tons of honking in support 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Ronald Reagan said it. #NoKings tomorrow 10/18

Unbearably violent images from Downtown Chicago where a classical music concert was played on the Chicago River. This is too elegant and magical to be seen.

If you rename the Department of Defense the Department of War, then bomb fishing boats in the Caribbean, and shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper bullet, you should automatically be barred from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for the rest of your life.

C-SPAN caller to Mike Johnson: "Hearing you say that 'everyone is smiling' in cities where troops have been rolled into feels dystopian and insane watching the response to it."

David Letterman is right: you can't appease a tyrant.

How did Dr. Monarez go from being “a public health expert with unimpeachable scientific credentials” who had the “full confidence” of Secretary Kennedy into being a “liar” and “untrustworthy” in less than a month?

She refused to rubber stamp his anti-vaccine recommendations.

Their waists and hands were tied together, forcing them to bend down and lick water to drink. The unscreened bathrooms contained only a single sheet to cover their lower bodies. Sunlight barely penetrated through a fist-sized hole, and they were only allowed access to the small yard for two hours. Detained by US immigration authorities for eight days, the workers and their families expressed shock, describing human rights violations and absurdities they could not have imagined as ordinary Koreans living in 2025.

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in

Your 47th President of the United States 🇺🇸

The gaslighting on the signature is maybe their most embarrassing thing yet. Just an absolute disregard for the truth, or dignity. @reptimburchett

Crockett: There were lots of modeling agencies that were doing things and the modeling agency was basically a farce. And there's a lot of people that we want to talk to. And a lot of these models came from foreign countries. I'm going to just leave it there.

To anyone who doesn't understand why women don't come forward to report sexual abuse: the UNITED STATES PRESIDENT said it's a HOAX after Epstein survivors recounted their harrowing tales of being raped as minors.

LUJAN: You hired a man named David Geier to conduct this study. Is that correct?

RFK Jr: No

LUJAN: Is Geier working for HHS?

RFK Jr: He's a contractor

LUJAN: Do you know that Mr Geier is listed on the HHS employee directory as a senior data analyst, not a contractor?

Can someone in the legacy media explain to me how this is not front page news? How is it that only Democracy Docket is covering this unfolding authoritarian takeover? www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Sen. Warren Daniel (R–NC, District 46) was caught trading stocks right on the Senate floor.

Didn’t even wait for a break. Playing the market on the taxpayers’ time…pure abuse of power.

Epstein survivors say they’re compiling their own client list.

“We know who abused us. We saw who came and went. This list will be survivor-led—for survivors”
