#socialism must be trending wildly. Can be the only reason new articles like this are written to drape society with the specter of hand wringing. Because let’s face it, socialism brings the idea of long bread lines, and govt deciding what products are made. In which the US will never be close to

Let’s also think about recent and current efforts of privatization of human incarceration. The penal system has always been ‘socialist’ because a society has laws about what is right and wrong. But here come the likes of GEO group that want to profiteer off of human souls, so what do we do?

This is why, speaking as a reporter who has covered a lot of this stuff, I find it bizarre that a lot of the commentariat don't see where anti-trans stuff is going. Gaines et al are pretty clear about how they see sports as a way to win battles that bathroom stuff didn't like a decade ago.

Jay Willis@jaywillis.net

I found this quote from Riley Gaines to be really striking. Straight-up conceding that the purpose of trans sports bans is to normalize transphobia, and to give "ordinary" people "more cover" expressing it in public. ballsandstrikes.substack.com/p/anti-trans...

Democrats should be giving a bi-weekly news briefing on the fraud, waste and abuse coming from inside the WH. Lots of posters, graphs and dollar signs in big bold letters. Tic Tok videos, YouTube shorts, etc.

Markwayne Mullin on Mamdani: "You see the way he treated President Trump. President Trump literally brought him into the Oval Office, let him stand beside him, tried to give the olive branch. And the way the mayor treated him once he left the Oval Office will tell you what type of man he is."

Todd Starnes says that if he were to moderate a debate for the Texas Senate race, he'd have one question for James Talarico: "Have you now, as a 37-year-old man, finally come to terms with your manhood? Or, do you sir, perhaps have an affinity for frilly underpants? What's up with that?"

Trump: "Everyone was doing great. Oil prices were very low. You were buying oil for $2. Remember just a couple months ago you were at $2. I said, 'Congratulations. Now I'm gonna upset the apple cart for you because we have to take a little journey down to a beautiful country known as Iran."

People will be closely studying how Hungary's opposition pulled off their win in such a pro-incumbent system. Important to note that the theme was corruption. Democrats need to get much better at calling out Trump's corruption.

this is why there’s been mass revolt and opposition to data centers being built in communities. it is genuinely a health hazard to live this close to something emitting this much sound. these need to stop being built

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies. For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

cnn.comTrump’s new budget seeks more TSA privatization. Here’s what that could mean for airport security screening | CNNPresident Donald Trump wants the Transportation Security Administration to turn over more airport security screening to private companies, according to his new 2027 budget proposal released Friday.
copleyfool.bsky.social@copleyfool.bsky.social

Here’s an idea, Trump and gop push TSA into a state of almost inoperability. Private contractors who just possibly have donated campaign funds, swoop in and get government contracts to handle screening duties. Big tech will then control all the data they compile.

Trump is considering a broader cabinet shake-up in the wake of Pam Bondi's removal, as he grows increasingly frustrated with the political fallout from the Iran war. The war has driven up gas prices, dragged ‌down Trump's approval ratings and intensified GOP anxiety about their prospects in November.
