The US has an implied contract with our allies. They put up with us because being our friend is more advantageous than not; economically, militarily, etc. But what happens if they can bypass us? What if they realize they don’t need us as much as we need them? THIS is Chump’s legacy.

ICE can’t operate without coordination with local police. Flock only exists because of cops. Peaceful protests are only violent because of cops. Cops are the point of the spear of fascism!

Metallica has the luxury of being so rich that they can pick and choose when to be “political.” The rest of us on the other hand…

Mentions of "Fauci" on X have mostly vanished since the data centers in Russia were destroyed by Ukrainian bombs. SMITE!💥

JON STEWART: “So in the FUTURE we WILL use A.I. to cure diseases… but right now it’s mostly murder, surveillance, and surge pricing for the McRib — What a trade! I’m getting the sense you guys might be full of shit.”

CEO: Good news everyone! We laid off 1200 people and because we are a “leaner” company, our stock price went up 20 cents per share!!! I know that doesn’t seem like a lot to you, but our board made millions. And for those who remain in your positions, you’ll just have to “do more with less.”

So wait, a woman was drugged and r@ped by 7 men and their punishment is left up to their university rather than police? In what universe does this make sense?

NO FLUID was found in Nolan Wells' lungs or airways, per the autopsy report by the Mississippi State Medical Examiner. How do you die by "accidental drowning" if there is no water in your lungs?

Cops who work with ICE are just as bad as ICE. We will not forget!

New at Flatwater: Douglas County has no formal agreements with ICE, but Sheriff Aaron Hanson has regularly shared information on local affairs with immigration officials. He says it’s part of keeping the community safe. Read more 🔗 buff.ly/v96gN3e

In the 80s nearly every…nearly EVERY band made public statements against Apartheid in South Africa. There were protests, benefit concerts, and free Mandela shirts EVERYWHERE. Celebrities speaking out against injustice isn’t the exception. It’s the norm! Remember?

Attention all celebrities: criticism of genocide is NOT anti-Semitic. Refusing to stand with people who excuse genocide is also NOT anti-Semetic. This is not difficult to navigate.

All of Ed Sheeran’s opening acts and his touring band have dropped out of the remaining dates of his ‘Loop’ tour in solidarity with Palestine and Macklemore.

AI is making work more efficient. Soulless CEO: “ChatGPT, eliminate 4000 jobs in North America.” ChatGPT: “termination letters sent.” Soulless CEO: “I deserve an 8 figure bonus.”

Preface: I 100% realize that this is a “first world problem.” Sometimes there’s just nothing more refreshing than a fresh, crisp salad, but I haven’t had one all summer. It pisses me off that we don’t have a functioning food safety system anymore. Fvck Chump forever!

I just had to explain the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing in 1963, and the 15 “mysteriously” murdered black people in the South over the past few months…to my beautiful, naive, 11 year old daughter. I could see some of the magic leave her world. I hate this version of reality.

MS NOW: "The Talarico campaign is filing a legal motion to unseal two depositions Ken Paxton gave in 2019 and 2022. A source tells MS NOW the Talarico campaign has reason to believe Paxton admitted to crimes in those depositions."

The founders enshrined freedom of the press into the very first amendment because they envisioned the press as a check upon tyranny. And THAT is what makes the failure of media so stark.

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

This is incredibly disturbing. The number of cases in Mississippi alone of Black people who met their deaths in dubious/highly suspicious ways, only for authorities to shrug it off and do a piss poor job if investigating...there are so many names
