If employers won’t pay a living wage govt has to support workers or, workers don’t live.

It’s not rocket science. It’s the cost of doing business.

The law of supply and demand applies to everything. Even labour.

As the Trump administration clumsily moves toward an unnecessary and irresponsible and narcissistic war with Venezuela, I want to take a brief moment to offer this sentiment to those who voted for him over VP Harris because they believed it would keep us out of unnecessary wars:

FUCK. YOU.

If anyone tells you Panama, Greenland or Canada have nothing to worry about. You can safely ignore any other geopolitical analysis they give. Any.

Why does the media never ask Zionists whether they support Palestine's "right to exist"? And, if they claim they do, to clarify their understanding of Palestine's borders and sovereignty? Jillian Segal is openly, defiantly pro-Zionist. What are her views? #auspol #EndTheOccupation #FreePalestine

Going beyond Donald Trump personally insulting reporters as "stupid" and addressing a reporter as "piggy," the Trump administration is launching a broader assault on the press as his poll numbers spiral downward.

Yes. Thanks. I remember this announcement. Experts said it was a start. From the presser, the new Financial Crimes Agency still needs to be started with legislation (planned Spring 2026) and (me) sufficiently funded to operate. We'll see.

Thing is, we DID hear about it at his confirmation hearing.

Every single senator who voted to confirm Hegseth knew he held these views about the laws of war.

They voted to confirm him anyway.
Everyone should read this terrifying thread about Hegseth’s published views wrt war crimes. It’s pretty fucking radical …. We needed to hear about this in his confirmation hearing.
A chapter in Hegseth’s book is literally titled “More Lethality, Less Lawyers.”

It’s almost as if there were signs!

As progressives, we now oppose a military build up & threats of war and we no longer describe reporting presence of the military as "the media pushing for war".

The intellectual and moral inconsistencies of my appeasers never fails to amuse.

Melania had a news conference that she got her pal, Vlad to give up an entire 8 out of 20K Ukrainian children he kidnapped, then dropped it?
What about the rest of them, still there?

Whatever it was to UK citizens, Brexit was one of the most successful Russian active measures ever – second only to Russia’s Trump-for-President operation.

Politics in the UK will return to normal when elite capture by Russia is overturned and European citizenship is restored.

Slotkin: Do you believe there is such a thing as an illegal order? Something the president could ask you to do that violates the constitution?

Hegseth: Anyone of any party could give an illegal order.

Slotkin: Will you stand in the breach if Trump does?

Hegseth: I reject the premise

Slotkin: No president has the right to use the military in a way that violates the constitution. She observes that Hegseth will be the one person standing in the breach if Trump gives an illegal order.

Mike Collins of GA was overheard saying he knew Trump was in the Epstein files at the same time he was telling others it wasn't true and voting to hide them. Imagine not only being okay with a serial pedophile, but helping them get away with it.
