God bless Amreeka.

No matter how hard the haters try they'll never get rid of us.

Also we make their bland ass lives delicious.

A reminder: Trump 1.0 ordered the Afghanistan withdrawal, and Trump 2.0 granted the shooter asylum this past April. Trump 2.0 also dismantled the joint terrorism task force, and gutted our national security apparatus.

I'm in an album club, like a book club but for records. I got to pick the topic this month: music you got into after you read a review. And one of the most musically experienced members said he always kept his eye out for music that got widely divergent reviews—love and hate—they're usually the best

‘Medicare for All’ still big. “In a survey of 1,207 likely voters [from] Nov. 14–17, 2025, ...65% of voters [supported] a Medicare for All system, described as a ‘national health insurance program... that would cover [everyone] & replace... private health insurance...’" jacobin.com/2025/11/medi...
Medicare for All Disappeared. Its Popularity Didn’t.
The demand for Medicare for All went from the center of the discourse to political exile in record time. But the policy's popularity never faded. A new poll finds strong majority support for the neglected idea among Americans across the political spectrum.

If you shop on Black Friday, shop only at small biz, minority owned biz, women owned biz, or support independent media.

America is an INCREDIBLY violent country. Both internally and externally.

I am not sure what is meant by statements like this.

It just isn’t true. Maybe it’s aspirational. Maybe they mean violence SHOULD have no place.

But as it is, it clearly does. Front and center, and constantly.
Violence has no place in America.

Conservatives yell “socialism” at every initiative designed to help people.

Maybe you've heard the word a few times already today.

But this is nothing more than an old scare tactic.

A functioning government requires pooling resources for the common good. Let me explain.

One guy killed one National Guard member and the media is treating it like it’s 9/11 because they’re scared the President will accuse them of underreacting if they try to apply even the slightest bit of proportionality

It seems to me the more I despair, the worse they get. Every time I look for a shred of hope, or think maybe tomorrow they'll come good, instead they punch more holes into everything I thought they stood for. Cowards all (and they didn't even have to be all that brave).

The 590000 people who have preordered a golden T phone have morally earned to lose their upfront payment, without exception.

These people are the core of the cult, feeding the con man POTUS and his criminal family.

These dumbbells will even find excuses for it, and nobody will change their vote.

Conservative elites underestimated and ultimately attempted to co-opt Hitler, misjudging his capacity and intent. Those elite calculations — shaped partly by a desire to preserve status and comfort — were decisive. Wealth breeds cowardice.

By his own standards and his insistence on scapegoating and blaming, Trump should either explain why he and his administration granted Asylum to the DC shooter suspect SEVEN MONTHS AGO, fire Noem and Homan and apologize - or Trump should resign
