Bleeding heart liberal, I put people over profits every time. AI images are theft. If you share that intentionally, you are getting blocked! If you ask me for money, you are getting blocked. If you are looking for a date or sex from me, blocked.

After two years of handwringing over “Biden old”, this isn’t just a failure to meet the moment on the part of our media institutions, this is outright fucking regime collaboration and enabling.

"There is a clear mental health crisis going on in the Oval Office right now. He is detached from reality. Every politician and pundit, every journalist...knows this. It should be the biggest story in our media. But, shamefully, it isn’t."

👑 The Madness of King Donald

Mehdi's Monday morning roundup of an increasingly unhinged US president, a new pro-Palestine Irish president, the big Mamdani/AOC/Bernie rally in Queens, and Gavin Newsom's 2028 plans.

“That violates a very fundamental norm of democracy, which is that they are answerable first to the voters and to their constituents, not to some secret corporation that they’re cutting deals with in the back room,” said Pat Garofalo, the director of state and local policy at the American Economic Liberties Project, a nonprofit organization focused on economic equality.

I don't know! Well what the fuck do you know? You're just worthless to everyone! Plus, I wonder if God is counting every ," I don't know," cause if He is, you've lied so many times ,you probably won't see God in heaven. You'll be meeting the Devil 😈

If you think Trump can’t misuse the nuclear codes because "people would stop him" well those same people just watched him bulldoze a wing of the White House.

I see that the United States' peculiar brand of Christian Nationalism includes judging the poor for needing SNAP benefits (judging is something Jesus said *not to* do) but not helping the poor with SNAP benefits (helping the poor is something Jesus told them *to* do).

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

I've cut all ties with friends and family who support Trump. It's not about my politics, it's about morality. There's no empathy within the MAGA cult; they're all morally bankrupt.

I knew I had to protect my inner peace and being around MAGA was toxic, so I cut all ties and I have zero regrets.

Graphic with kid in a MAGA hat yelling that reads:
The single worst thing about Trump to me will always be how much he's changed people. I've watched friends and relatives become entirely new, worse people in the wake of his political rise. Like it's not merely that he's a terrible guy, it's that he's ruined people.

The oligarchy wants full control of what we watch and read.

A tweet from Robert Reich states:
“The richest man on earth owns X.
The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.
The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.
See the problem here?”

The current regime isn’t the first to argue that fascism aligns with American values.

Historian Jill Lepore describes the 1939 Nazi rally at Madison Square Garden, an attempt to mainstream Nazism in the U.S.

They failed, and so will Miller + co, who history will remember as villains.

Trump is executing people on the high seas by deeming them "enemy combatants" without any proof.

He's also called his political opponents — immigrants, Democrats, protesters — the "enemy within."

Put it together: How close is Trump to ordering attacks on them, too?

Rep. Luna is a threat to national security.

A tweet from Michael Weiss reads: “Kirill Dmitriev hands (R.–Fla., naturally) Rep. Ana Paulina Luna a book titled, ‘Great Words of a Great Man.’ You can see the great man referred to right there on the cover. She is very excited.” The photo shows Ana Paulina Luna smiling as a man hands her a book.

A close-up image of the book cover shows text in Russian that reads “Великие слова великого человека,” which translates to “Great Words of a Great Man.” The cover features a photo of Vladimir Putin.

The fact that most of the people utilizing the social safety net (ie Medicaid, SNAP, WIC, etc) work full time just proves that corporations have been using gov subsidies to profit multiple ways.
They get corporate welfare + pay their workers so little the gov pays to keep them alive.

I was just at CVS & a MAGA lady tried to bring up how terrible all these immigrants were & started throwing out bible quotes.

She chose the wrong gal to spew that hate at.

It ended with me asking her if she thought God would want immigrants to be tortured during miscarriages.

What a hateful lady.
