YouTube video by In The Mesh The Great Equalizer: What Dolly Parton & a Tennessee Wildfire Can Teach About Universal Basic Income

Everyone needs to know that Dolly Parton responded to a climate disaster in her community with a temporary universal basic income for everyone who lost their homes.

Here's a short documentary about it:

🚨🚨🚨 Trump has called for the ARREST of Governor Pritzker and Mayor Johnson. Listen for his “reasoning.” And share because this is weaponization of authority to control political dissidents. 1/2

Trump is much weaker than he looks. He's always been a bloated, sloppy, low-IQ flaccid failure. Now he’s a bloated, sloppy, low-IQ flaccid failure desperately trying to distract from all that by attacking US cities with our military and sending his Justice Dept after political opponents.

Rev. Black still suffers from respiratory issues weeks after agents shot him with pepper balls, an act he framed as “retaliation of my federal government (against) my acts of ministry.”

Rev. Black is now suing the Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem for violations of the First & Fourth Amendments. Black is named as one of many clergy, who have fallen victim to violence that violates the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

The Trump regime's war on Christianity continues, as regime troops attacks Americans across the United States and rounds up majority Christian immigrants, they've also targeted religious leaders.

Here the Trump regime ICE forces shot a pastor in the head in the latest attack on civilians.

I am not a constitutional scholar but I am pretty sure “the president my personally levy taxes and choose what they fund” is not in fact what the founders intended

Milei capers around on stage whilst the country falls to pieces. This is a perfect encapsulation of his role, a narcisistic fool who clowns around and holds peoples attention whilst the Argentine ruling class reduces the country back to the level of neo-colonial dependency last seen prior to 1914.

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

I then literally laughed out loud when Bondi completely exposed the GOP Senators' lack of seriousness a half-hour or so later when instead of answering a question, she literally said "What Senator Graham was trying to say was..."

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

By all means, indict Jack Smith on bullshit allegations and give him the trial that SCOTUS denied him.

Does AG Pam Bondi think she’s auditioning for the VP slot in Trump’s unconstitutional third term?

Here’s the mashup from today’s shitshow you definitely didn’t ask for. But this important point: she’s reading off a script. Someone actually wrote this garbage and thought it was good to go.

NEW: Trump said that "we got sued by The Associated Press and they lost" and "they got thrown out of court." 🤔 One correction: The opposite is true.
