The most openly racist, eugenicist monsters are running the U.S. They will use every opportunity to advance their agenda.

And as the wheels come off their regime they will only grow more brutal and obscene. These are dangerous days for us all.
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

White American men and white supremacist terrorists kill more Americans than any other group. Kids can't go to school without fear of gun violence and republicans refuse to do anything meaningful to end it, and yet people from "third world countries" are the "real threat"? My god.
Trump says he will ‘permanently pause’ migration from ‘third world countries’ after national guard shooting
In a social media post sent late on Thanksgiving, US president said he would ‘end all federal benefits and subsidies to noncitizens’ following Washington DC shooting

Cannot emphasize this enough.

If you shop on Black Friday, shop only at small biz, minority owned biz, women owned biz, or support independent media.

If you're traveling this Thanksgiving, you spent more on your flight than Delta, JetBlue or American Airlines paid in federal income taxes in the past 7 years. In the seven years following the 2017 tax law, Delta, JetBlue, and American Airlines collectively paid less than many travelers spent

Imagine paying a large monthly fee to shop at a supermarket, then paying again for the actual groceries, then getting an extra charge months later because one ingredient in an item you bought came from a farmer associated with a different store.

This post is about healthcare.

I saw one in the parking lot of my local grocery store, and when it turned the corner, it made the weirdest sound. I laughed so hard right in front of it. An abomination, just like its maker.

It's happened again... An e-commerce site called Tokyo Tiger has stolen my art and is selling t-shirts and putting ads on IG/X with my artwork.

Do not buy from them.

These are not licensed products. They are stolen.

Many can’t afford to stay, or sell. With mass layoffs, negative job growth, it’s not looking good. I don’t think Trump pushing 50 yr mortgages is coincidence. I suspect desperate homeowners behind on mortgage payments, will be targeted by predatory companies convincing them to refinance for 50 yrs.
People are putting the brakes on moving, so they’re pulling their homes off the market.

📌 Weak buyer demand, softening prices, and a jittery economy are pushing sellers to back out and wait for a better day.

Bye bye tourism.
The Trump administration announced that starting Jan. 1, the cost of an annual national park pass for non-U.S. residents will jump from $80 to $250 more than triple the current price.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Someone ordering three of the same book is like a gale force wind of good vibes for a book
I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

About 2 1/2 months into my strength training/ body recomp journey. Still loving it. Feeling the changes more than seeing them at this point, but I knew that would be the case. I only wish the medical community would more widely recommend strength training to perimenopausal and menopausal women.

I'm fascinated (and supportive of) men who, in a culture and society that demand accepting a very specific type of female beauty (thin, white, light), choose to be counter culture. What influences drive/drove you? What makes you see beauty in ways society does not teach you to? 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Here it comes: the crisis wave of Americans making the tough choice to drop coverage — in the face or rising premiums.

The EPA is starting to allow the use of pesticides containing PFAS on food.

The move is part of an effort to roll back the regulation of what are called "forever chemicals" because they don't break down easily in the environment.

The irony in Comey's words. Whoo boy!
Comey: "I'm grateful the court ended the case against me, which was a prosecution based on malevolence & incompetence... I was inspired by the career people who refused to be part of this travesty. It cost some of them their jobs, but it preserved their integrity, which is beyond price"
