Greed and rascism are the words of the day! I don’t see markets and the frenzy of the market pigs changing anytime soon. Meanwhile small businesses, small manufacturers, farmers and middle to lower income Americans and immigrants are slaughtered at will and No One with any sort of power gives a shit

Here’s the thing. We still have the power (probably) to say that this image must not be what America is. We still have the power to say “fuck no, we refuse to allow this to be what the streets of America look like.” Attend a “No Kings” rally this Saturday. And then vote in 2026.

As a UN-recognized famine swept Gaza, Google allowed Israel to run YouTube ads claiming “There is food in Gaza.”
An internal email reveals the company received many complaints about the false ads, but ruled they could remain online. Because nothing was more important than appeasing Netanyahu.

"We are a decade into Trumpism. These Young Republicans have never known any other type of Republicanism. We’re talking about a full generation of Republicans who only understand politics in the context of an authoritarian project."

Half way though my walk with #Maggie today, I found a decent size stick and broke it off into a good size for her. One would think I gave her a leg of lamb. She carried it all the way home and then played with it until I had to put her back inside. She was so proud of it. #dogs

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

All the press reporters have handed in their press badges to the Pentagon, even Fox propaganda News handed in their press badges. The regime is losing control. We the People are fighting back. The regime is going to increase the violence to try to get us back down. Don't stop the resistance.

SPECIAL: We got this conversation up as fast as possible because Tim Snyder's analysis of the Trump administration's agenda and methods is so important. Also: Why No Kings matters, and what’s at stake in Ukraine. This is, if I may say so, a must-watch.

Jack Smith Calls Idea That Politics Infected Trump Prosecutions ‘Ludicrous’
The former special counsel’s first extended remarks since resigning in January were released the same day House Republicans summoned him to testify.
