Over the past 5 years the wealth held by the top 0.1% has nearly doubled from $12 trillion to over $23 trillion.

Saw some comments about SNAP as a “bridge not a lifestyle” and “people abusing the system” 🤬 I don’t give a flying flip about how long someone is on SNAP. Who the hell cares? Feed the hungry end of story

"Nothing—including the racism, Holocaust denialism, and antisemitism Fuentes has championed—seems to be too hot for MAGA media to embrace."

The latest edition of False Flag from @willsommer.bsky.social:
One of the Most Dangerous Interviews Ever in MAGA Media
Why Tucker Carlson platformed white supremacist Nick Fuentes.

If you were a gay man, would you want to date that bag of neuroses, resentment, and slimy hatred? Heading 180 at max throttle, I think.
You don't improve an apple pie by adding road apples to it.

DHS says our new piece is "dishonest, slanted, and fundamentally inaccurate" but won't say why. Here's the story where we show with evidence that DHS spliced together clips spanning years and multiple locations to create its own reality. Gift link wapo.st/4nuDGwf

Could this be why republicans are trying to silent Jack Smith. No ranking republican has been charged for Jan. 6 when we know they planned it. Why?
You can say someone is wrong on certain issues and not ascribe other beliefs to them that they don't hold. I wish liberals would stop with the bloody bad-faith readings of everything.

Holy Moses, how do you get from "I have ignorant views about trans people" to "I'm the avatar of Mussolini?!"
He's not espousing any of that. Saying that he sees problems with trans people in sports based on perceived differences of biological sex, however wrong, doesn't mean he believes in all that. He's not saying that everyone needs to submit to a corporatist state, or espousing legal racism, etc, FFS.
You support terrorists and the destruction of the majority-Jewish state that exists in the birthplace of Judaism and want Islamic supercessionists to own Jerusalem.

In a world where non-Muslims can't even visit Mecca and nobody questions the Catholic Church having an actual state, get bent.
Jews are indigenous to Israel, not settler-colonials. Those would be the Arabs and Ottomans, who first arrived in the 7th Century CE. Where the fuck do you think Jews come from, fucking Poland?

Hamas is the actual death cult. They literally have a policy of putting civilians in harm's way.

I joined advocates outside the PMO to say this clearly: no cuts to foreign aid. Carney promised it—keep it. Protect and expand Canada’s support for the Global Fund to fight HIV/AIDS, TB and malaria. Canada must lead, not retreat. Lives are at stake.#cdnpoli @ResultsCda.bsky.social
Advocates call on Carney to keep his promise to not cut foreign aid in budget
With Mark Carney’s first ever federal budget just over a week away, international development advocates are calling on the prime minister to keep his pre-election pledge to uphold foreign aid funding.

I wish someone would nail him British-style with a barrage of increasingly specific follow-up questions to see if anyone can actually squeeze an actual answer out of him. But the DC press corps might as well be the DC press corpse.
They already don't have real citizenship, democracy, human rights, or anything more than serfdom to Hamas.

The oligarchs at least would probably not summarily execute them. And they might stop firing rockets at Israel and might not be raised from birth to hate Jews and want to murder them all.
Considering that the only contribution to the world the Palestinians have ever made is inventing new forms of terrorism, that isn't even close to funny. They are a mob.

Those assholes used to hijack and blow up airplanes on the regular, and I take that personally. It could have been me.
Please stop being antisemitic. You don't actually know the first thing about Judaism.

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.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.
So what you're telling us is that Fuentes has moved from neo-Naziism to being a Nazbol. Super.
This is what they mean when they say "I didn't vote for this."
I think Idi Amin might have been stupider, just on raw intelligence, but he is pretty stupid.
It's encysted in scabs in bodies in the melting permafrost.

People have already gotten sick from anthrax contracted from dead reindeer that had been frozen in permafrost that melted.

You're welcome.
You would hope, but Ford pardoned Nixon, nobody very high up in the Reagan administration went to prison for all the things they did, et cetera, and the US has a habit of doing the "look forward not back" thing that lets the perps escape accountability.
