I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals.
The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry.
Where is the MAHA outcry?

Oliver Ma is running for Lieutenant Governor of California. He’s a civil rights lawyer who has fought slumlords, ICE, and apartheid—and he’s setting a new standard for what leaders should fight for.

Seems like a good time to get this in the rotation:
Capitalism = anyone can be rich
Communism = no one should be rich
Socialism = anyone can be rich but no one should be poor
Fascism = only the loyal deserve anything

Given today’s ruling by the magistrate judge in the Comey case, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to see how the indictment does not get dismissed.
Just look at the language from the judge (below) in today’s ruling. And yes, the “prosecutor” the judge is referring to is Lindsay Halligan:

The root of their anger extending no further than a stump could probably explain the behavior and personality culture of white supremacists. Basically.

I keep seeing people say, oh, trans people must take a hit for the greater good and, first of all, no, you don't get to discard someone else's rights and second, we know from past experience that marginalized communities like theirs are merely the first to be targeted. They'll come for you next.
The White House plans to bar hospitals that treat transgender children and youth from getting any Medicare and Medicaid payments. The move would affect trans youth who have private insurance, too. n.pr/4qFa1mY
Trump pushes an end to medical care for transgender youth nationally

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

Breaking on MSNBC:
Two federal prosecutors have been placed on leave at the direction of the White House after filing a sentencing memo seeking 27 months in prison for a pardoned Jan. 6 rioter who brought illegal guns and ammunition to President Obama's house in 2023.
