Just enough free speech for him to show the world that he believed African Americans were animals, women were his property, and gays go to the wall.

Jeffries: "If Donald Trump can find $20b to bail out his right-wing dictator friend in Argentina, it's extraordinary to me that Republicans are unwilling to even have a discussion about how we address the healthcare crisis that they've created."

I’m pretty sure they don’t even let you *run* for Congress as a Republican unless you’ve got at least one (1) restraining order from a former girlfriend half your age.

Republican Rep. Cory Mills allegedly threatened to release nude images of a 26-year-old woman and to harm her future boyfriends after she ended their relationship.

Now, a judge just ordered Mills, 45, not to come within 500 feet of the defendant & ruled that she is “a victim of dating violence.”

Judge grants ex-girlfriend restraining order against Rep. Cory Mills

A Florida judge said Rep. Cory Mills had cyberstalked an ex-girlfriend and barred the lawmaker from going near her residence or workplace or referencing her on social media.

This is a very scary bit of information. Think about this - no actual money. Worse, the centers rely on taking advantage of and destroying small communities with pollution (increasing health problems) and use of clean water (creating shortages).

Mark Lemley @marklemley.bsky.social · 3d

And this:
92% of the growth in the entire country this year has been data centers. And some of that is "circular deals" that dont involve actual money

Without data centers, GDP growth was 0.1% in the first half of 2025, Harvard economist says | Fortune

Is a U.S. without data centers a country without GDP growth?

The First Felon claimed that his sweeping tariffs will “pay down” the national debt, but it is actually doing the exact opposite.

The US is “going broke,” according to JPMorgan Asset Management’s chief global strategist David Kelly in a note to investors.

Are his supporters unwilling to admit their error, or just inbred subhumans who are incapable of human thought?

These chumps think that billionaire populism is actually populism.

It's not actual populism until we start rendering the fat of billionaires, useless eaters, to heat the homes of the poor.

Transsexualism as we conceive of it in America is bourgeois, the product of a society that venerates the freedom of an individual to choose. There is no designer vagina under communism, I'm sorry.

New evidence that DHS reopened criminal investigation of Abrego Garcia on April 17 (the same day the 4th Cir said the admin's position "should be shocking not only to judges, but to the intuitive sense of liberty that Americans far removed from courthouses still hold dear") at direction of DHS HQ.

David Kurtz @davidkurtz.bsky.social · 1d

Spicy footnote in new motion to compel discovery by Abrego Garcia in his quest to show he's victim of vindictive prosecution, as retaliation for challenging his unlawful removal to El Salvador. On one level, duh, of course. It was a whole of govt smear campaign targeting AG to justify its error:

This isn't new, by the way. Trump and his minions wanted an "antifa" Black Bloc to show up and fight with cops on Jan. 6, 2021. If that had happened, he would have then called out the National Guard to a) arrest leftists and b) shut down the Capitol and prevent the election from being certified

Dr. Samantha Hancox-Li @sjshancoxli.liberalcurrents.com · 1d

one of the reasons they're so mad at "no kings" is that they thought they were going to get a different kind of protest. they *want* the black bloc to be out there fighting with the cops. those are the images they've been trying to generate from "go." instead--

MAGA Rage at “No Kings” Boils Over—and It Quickly Backfires on Trump

As Trump allies smear the coming protests, a good writer on MAGA skewers the absurdity of these attacks on large swaths of Americans—and explains why our best recourse will be to turn out in force.
