Let’s hope the shift continues and that Massie and Greene are not the only (R)s with the guts to be vocal about the depravity of the goddamn U.S. President real soon.

Well well looks like the person of interest has been released from custody, is 💸ash Patel in too much of a hurry to nail anyone he can for the shooting at Brown University. Maybe it's cutting into his extra vacation time maybe it's not a good idea having a podcaster run the FBI .

For 22 years we have had a Senate with 1 Lindsey Graham and 0 pediatricians.

How about we try a Senate with 0 Lindsey Grahams and 1 pediatrician?

An understanding of American racism and economics so simple that any hillbilly (not brainwashed by Fox "news" or who called Trump "America's Hitler"--before falling in lockstep with him) can understand: bsky.app/profile/mind...
“When we ever gonna wake up and realize that poor southern Appalachian hillbillies have more in common with Black people in the projects of Chicago than we do with corporate rich assholes that keep driving the wealth gap miles and miles apart?”

Anyone still serving in the Trump Administration must reckon with the reality that, when the government has previously perpetrated egregious miscarriages of justice, history has not been forgiving to those who’ve gone along, however reluctantly. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
History’s Judgment of Those Who Go Along
Some civil servants and senior officials in the Trump Administration are experiencing bouts of conscience.

BLACK FARMERS AREN’T TAKING THE BAIT

Rejecting Trump’s bailout as structurally racist.

The $12 billion runs through the same USDA systems that systematically locked Black farmers out for decades. Loan denials, delayed paperwork, acreage rules, enrollment hurdles. The discrimination is documented.

I sat down with 20 undecided Texas voters on @jubileemedia.bsky.social’s Surrounded.

One of them brought up “welfare queens” so I told him the truth:

The biggest welfare queens in this country are the giant corporations that don’t pay a penny in federal taxes.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

This is disgusting!
This is absolutely horrific.
ICE pepper-sprayed this 1-year-old girl.

Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist.

They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed.

Another horrific story.

More details below.

Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it.

They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

Former Alabama Senator Doug Jones officially joins the race for Governor against the stupidest US Senator in history Tommy Tuberville. Tuberville is a resident of Destin, Florida. He does not live in Alabama. Tuberville is running on supporting Trump 100%. That is great news for Jones. #ProudBlue

The hero who disarmed one of the terrorists in Sydney turned out to be 43-year-old Ahmed al-Ahmed — a fruit shop owner and father of two.

He was shot twice and is currently in hospital. He is scheduled to undergo surgery.

He had no experience with weapons of any kind.

Great story on This Week about Albuquerque New Mexico & the Dem Mayor’s program of having the National Guard work with the local police to fight the crime and homelessness. Using a positive approach. Kudos to their effort!

Sen. Bill Cassidy-1. Your confirmation of RFK Jr. deems ur credibility null & void. 2. Your Healthcare option- IMO-does little to address the overall issue. You have been in ofc for years. Yet you want to throw something 2gether at the 11th hr which is like putting a tiny bandaid on a gaping whole

Both of Oklahoma's senators, Markwayne Mullin & James Lankford have accepted campaign contributions from pro-gun organizations & PACs, including those tied to the firearm industry and the NRA. Most notably, they have been endorsed by the NRA & has aligned themselves with pro-gun advocacy groups.
