Not Our Favorite, But Point Well Taken.......

Thanks to Trump's tax cuts for the rich, Social Security's trustees are now warning the program will be unable to pay out full benefits by 2032. As I've said for years, there's only one way to reverse this trend. Scrap the cap on income subject to Social Security taxes.

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X. I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!). So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

Trump has done double digit totally insane impeachable crimes and people are just pretending he didn't and not talking about it. I'm losing my fucking mind over here.

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

I sadly grew up in a family of toxic narcissists...so most of the things Trump does feel sadly familiar to me. But Trump takes it to a higher level. He sees EVERY SINGLE THING through the prism of HIM. I've never seen a bigger toxic narcissist than him.

Quit talking about Trump. Address everything, every issue to Miller and Vought. Make Trump irrelevant, his ego will not let him be out of the spotlight and you’ll see Miller and Vought removed and the rest of the administration collapse.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

Everybody in the Trump regime belongs in prison and until that happens rule of law is dead.

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

Never accept a lecture on decency, civility, or respect from a Trump supporter. Never tolerate it.

I'm not sure it's in the self interest of America's tech bro billionaires to suggest that we bring back public executions to punish the most destructive people in our society.

1/ The new US National Security Strategy blames 'undemocratic' European governments for failing to make peace with Russia, takes a pro-Russian position on NATO, reflects white nationalist views on European demographics, and pledges overt support for far-right parties. ⬇️

In this episode of ‘Uncanny Valley,’ we bring you the news of the week, then dive into how some DOGE operatives are still at work in the federal government—despite reports claiming otherwise. www.wired.com/story/uncann...

This is the everlasting legacy of the Trump administration The Nazi Elon Musk & his minions: - stealing all our data - destroying the careful expertise built over decades - pilfering the treasury (beyond the ‘normal’ Trump corruption) through bad $ decisions that happen to help certain companies

I want to know what happened to the whistleblower and did all of our info go straight to Russia www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

Thank you! Reporting what is really going on, because DOGE is still here and under the control of Russell Vought!

Contrary to popular reports, DOGE has “burrowed into the agencies like ticks,” government sources tell WIRED. www.wired.com/story/what-i...

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet. Run on *that*

The heat map showing location(s) of MAGAt accounts is really good 🤷‍♀️

Hahahah! This article is so good. I will only tell you that the title is only the tip of the iceberg :D

The deliberate starvation hasn’t ended, as government officials in Gaza say that only around 200 trucks of food per day are being allowed through their borders, far short of the agreed-upon 600. As a result, malnutrition levels are still around 90 percent. www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-gaz...

The EPA is prioritizing review of new chemicals to be used in data centers. Experts say this could lead to the fast approval of new types of forever chemicals—with limited oversight.

And forensic accountants to sift through everything. The amount of our money they will have stolen is going to be mind boggling

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends. We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over. We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

Crow: "It just tells us everything that we need to know that reminding people to obey the law, reminding people to obey the Constitution, is somehow criminal in Trumpworld and should be responded to with death threats. It's very, very telling."

everyone in town to talk strategy on their presence in the epstein files

Flew to Washington, D.C. 6 hours ago. Missed this due to unexpected changes in how they’re anonymizing flights.

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.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

“'It’s an attempt to fool people,” Levitt added. 'Trump’s primary power is the power we give him when he asserts he is in control of everything, and we believe him.'” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

On the left, the refurbished Lincoln bathroom. On the right, picture I took in Saddam Hussein's palace in Basra in 2005.

The very AI tools that are adding to today’s employment problems are being used by the Trump administration to chip away at reality, one white-supremacy meme and one fascistic propaganda video at a time. www.thebulwark.com/p/what-we-ch...

"The Supreme Court Case That Could End Free and Fair Elections" As Trump pressures states to redraw electoral maps to favor Republicans, the nation's far-right justices appear poised to weaken the Voting Rights Act and silence American minority voters:

Block block block Do not dunk Do not respond Do not quote Do not @ them Do not screenshot Do not even type their name Do not type anything adjacent to it Do not feed the trolls Do not give the algorithm reason to feature the post Do not grant them the pleasure of wasting your time and ours

i imagine there’s about to be an influx of MAGA chuds spewing their bullshit but i really can’t stress enough that if we don’t give them oxygen, they’ll get bored and leave. block early and often.

'A despot': Ken Burns signals danger of 'greatest existential threat' to the US right now

One thing I've learned from the Internet is that a lie needs 0% proof to be believed, but the truth requires thousands of pages of proof and still won't be believed.

All of the unions in Hollywood should immediately boycott Disney/ABC. They only care about money, so go after that.
