Alex Pretti's father: Our son was shot and killed by the government, federal immigration agents, on January 24th, 2026. His hands were in the air, and his face was on the ground when he was executed by ICE agents. No one from the federal government called us on that day. No one has called us since.

Too many poor people think too many rich people are smart or geniuses because they are rich. THEY are not! Poor people have just not met enough rich people.

yup.

thehandbasket.coRepublicans don’t have a Nazi problem—they are the Nazi problemA spate of recent revelations have shown the ideologies and their adherents are one and the same.

This week’s main story is about how more and more white nationalists, antisemites, and Nazi sympathizers seem to be integrating into the Republican Party, how some of them are currently running for office, and how old you can be for JD Vance to consider you “a very young boy.”

Who would have thought that NOT wearing a baseball cap of any kind, would be such an overtly political act of defiance.

Fighting and voting against 1/3 of the country because they are gleefully proud the president is as dumb or dumber than they are, is not how I pictured the future when I was a kid.

Will we ever wake up and realize that professional sports are a huge part of our problems? The list of reasons why is long.

Trump’s appointees wanted a voting machine hacked, the findings sent to the White House, and its maker kept in the dark. And we’re supposed to trust them? Nobody in power should get a secret weapon to challenge the votes that could fire them. #TrumpsCrimesOnYourDime

For fellow educators, I actually said "data fetishizing" out loud to a room full of secondary observers in the district offices. Oops.

By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Donald Trump: widening inequality, economic insecurity, and the unchecked political power of corporations and the rich. Political centrism is nonsense. There is no middle ground between democracy and oligarchy.

It's easy to be left-wing when you're a decent human being who's open to learning. Stubborn, rigid, know-it-all dickbags don't seem to get this concept. They'd rather worship an ignorant, ill-mannered child-rapist and continue to lead shitty, pathetic lives.

If you think a test for dementia is an IQ test, you have dementia. If you don't realize you have been given a test for dementia because your physician suspects you have dementia, you have dementia. If you think being able to tell a giraffe from a whale makes you a genius . . . you have dementia.

Harpers Ferry survived John Brown's raid, the Civil War and 167 years of American history. Then somebody in West Virginia government looked at the landscape and thought: You know what this needs? Spent nuclear fuel from other states.

When government needs no proof beyond its own suspicions to send armed men to your door, the difference between a citizen and a criminal is no longer determined by law, but by the imagination of those in power.

I think they will try to lock that information down, just like the government did with the JFK files. The investigative records from the Warren Commission and the House Select Committee on Assassinations were initially classified and slated to remain closed for 50 to 75 years.

Remember maga and the gop will blame the Democrats for fuel prices, food prices, the deficit and debt, and inflation 10 seconds after the election.
