Gross. Support the 99% against the 1%.

This is not how states operate. Russia didn’t declare war on Japan until it knew it could easily grab territory at almost no cost. China can ask but Russia will not comply.

Republicans are bad for the economy, bad for business, bad for the 99% of us.

Looks like the New York Times decided to stop pretending Mamdani doesn't exist. Good article on just how terrific a politician Mamdani is.

Looking forward to New York having a mayor who isn't an embarrassment. First up New York, then Congress and the Presidency.

WaPo runs ads on Facebook trying to get me to re-subscribe. Not likely. But the comments, and there are hundreds, are all negative. Bezos made his choice of whom to lie with and now his paper is facing the consequences.

Ally with fascists, say good bye to democrats.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Farm bankruptcies are back in the news, so it's time to pull this chart out again.

Hey look they kept rising during Trump's first term. Then they went way down under Biden.

Now they're up again? So weird. Thanks Farm Bureau for the graphic

Screenshot from Farm Bureau article on farm bankruptcies. It shows farm bankruptcies climbing steadily 2014-2020, falling by half in 2021, & continuing to fall through 2023.

The degree to which Trump and MAGA are living in an insane alternate universe cannot be overstated.

Delusions of Grandeur.

Trump lies all the time. He lied during the 2024 election and if you’re inclined to believe him you might have convinced yourself that he wasn’t a fascist.

But Trump’s actions, not words, make it much much clearer to those who voted for him what he is.

And 44% still want that.

This comment is funny. You say one of the great things was the mystery, then you ask to take away the mystery.

This doesn’t always work out that well, see midichlorians or all the Dune Prequels. They explain everything and it’s awful.

I'm not sure I understand your concern. You have a single switch network? What speed is the switch you're replacing? Why are you replacing it?

We’re not afforded a lot of great news these days so I’ll take it with great joy.

I guess Trump's working his way through the declassifications alphabetically. Epstein should be coming up real soon now.
