Holy “parallel establishment”. “Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., is sounding the alarm about the Trump administration’s approval of a new bank backed by two GOP megadonors, tech billionaires Peter Thiel and Palmer Luckey” … 1/ www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...

You may be living in an absolutely racist country when 13-year-old Black boys are tried and sentenced as adults, but white dudes who *are* adults are called "kids" by JD Vance to shield them from culpability.

After Republicans predicted violence all week from Antifa domestic terrorists this weekend, it turns out the most dangerous place to be on Saturday was the location that JD Vance was filming his TikTok.

Stephen Smith isn’t being “canceled,” he’s being called out.

Weird to see chants of “USA! USA!” at these rallies that I was assured were “Hate America” rallies.

Protesters formed a human banner Saturday morning at S.F.'s Ocean Beach, spelling out “NO KINGS” and “YES ON 50,” encouraging the passage of a measure on the November ballot to redraw California’s congressional districts in response to Texas’ GOP-focused remapping.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

The system is broken.
