1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. โฌ‡๏ธ

It really should have been disqualifying from the start. I still remember hearing, as a kid, about how Bush Sr.โ€™s lack of knowledge about grocery store scanners didnโ€™t resonate well with voters.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

Itโ€™s corporate greed. Itโ€™s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

I mean, Iโ€™m glad heโ€™s not here, but itโ€™s galling that rapists can get jobs anywhere.

Iโ€™m really enjoying listening to EJ on this radio broadcast. He is really doing so well. Like heโ€™s been doing it for years โ€“ calling out the color at perfect times and educating about the game, too.

Holy crap. Trump will make the FCC crucify Jimmy Kimmel for this.

โ€œBucking traditionโ€??

More like โ€œShredding the constitution and attempting to destroy democracyโ€.

Do better, NPR.

Kind of like how he and other SC justices declared Roe v Wade โ€œsettled lawโ€ and then overturned it.

What the Trump regime doesnโ€™t want you to know about Dallas ICE shooting The Trump regime's refusal to say the names of the Dallas ICE victims exposes the inhumanity of American fascism.

This is the secret the Trump regime tried so hard to keep about the Dallas ICE shooting

The names of the dead and wounded

Jose Andres Bordones-Molina

Miguel รngel Garcรญa-Hernandez

Norlan Guzman-Fuentes

Fight Trump's dehumanization. Say their names. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/dall...

Semi-regular reminder that a sane country would have already impeached and removed. But then again a sane country wouldnโ€™t have elected a maniac criminal twice in the first place.

Honest question:

For anyone out there whoโ€™s still registered as a republican for whatever reason, what would it take to make you finally leave your party when they are openly promoting fascism and authoritarian measures over democracy?

in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments.

that fox news host still has his job.

No, Charlie Kirk was not practicing politics the right way His assassination deserves full condemnation; his full impact should not be sidestepped.

As Charlie Kirk is quickly canonized by Trump and his movement, a full depiction of his impact on American politics is largely being sidestepped.

Kirk built his movement with falsehoods, and his advocacy was laced with racist and bigoted statements.
