🫘 Democracy in action

The polls say that Taco Bell Burritos with lettuce and jalapeños is more popular than Trump.

Brown University has a widget that tracks the cost of the Iran war to American consumers (as contrasted to whatever the Pentagon is spending). Per-household cost now exceeds $600. iranwarcost.watson.brown.edu

Terrorist attack in Minnesota: A Trump Zio MAGA attacked US Rep. Ilhan Omar ( @IlhanMN ), the terrorist sprayed her with an unknown substance and was quickly taken down by security. The terrorist timed the attack at the mention of Trump’s ICE paramilitary force. #3E #GoodVsEvil

“Imagine how they lie when there’s no evidence to contradict them.” Watch this powerful message from Jon Stewart.

Here's what ICE is up to in Northeast Minneapolis today. Absolutely heartbreaking. Warning: video is hard to watch

Don't worry, I've got you ‘For Alex’ Alex Jeffrey Pretti 1988 - 2026 RIP Beautiful tribute by illustrator MJ.Hiblen (@mjhiblenart on Instagram).

How is Trump pardoning a republican rep's meth dealer son not a major story at every media outlet right now? Given the pearl clutching over the pardon of Hunter Biden, has the GOP and corporate media suddenly started caring about addiction? Or is there just a double standard? (Rhetorical)

Only a tiny fraction of Americans can name this country

Well, this is awkward 😬

Hope springs eternal

More of this energy from our representatives‼️ please‼️

Ronald Reagan said it. #NoKings tomorrow 10/18

This sadly demented man doesn't realize *he* was president on Jan 6, 2021. Get him in an assisted living facility ASAP.

This is the best analysis of news media and social media I've read in a long time - with some very good news for the relatively few news outlets taking the much harder path of building subscription businesses instead of attention businesses (yes, there is a big difference).

Tying people’s insurance to their job and it’s not even free has got to be one of the biggest scams America ever concocted.

Congress is on vacation, after accomplishing nothing since their last vacation.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Men’s rights don’t vary state by state. Only women’s do.

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

Inflation is so bad these days that taking a $50,000 cash bribe can't even get you indicted. SAD!! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The United States is now North Korea, only with nukes that work and grocery stores full of food, but only if you have the money to buy it.

Where the separate divisions of ANTIFA landed on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944:

They’re going to fire a US attorney because they couldn’t find evidence for a crime that was manufactured by the administration? Banana republic shit

STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.” Nailed it.

You know, I only just realised that it might not about the foreign workers. It could have been about the batteries. Think how anti renewables this prick is. Using ICE (I-SS?) to fuck the project up would make sense.

Just merged Thomas Piketty and Raj Chetty into one person in my head in preparing for a lecture on inequality, and was very confused when a search "Raj Piketty" didn't turn up the results I expected. Anyway here's income inequality in the US over time from Piketty, I think it's very relevant.

Christians get mad when you quote Jesus just like they do when you quote Charlie Kirk.

"When the rich rob the poor, the rich call it 'business'. When the poor fight back, the rich call it 'violence'." Mark Twain

A Christian Ministers response to Charlie Kirk’s murder. While we condemn his murder and the gun violence that led to it, we must also reject MAGA‘s effort to portray him as something he was not‼️

Odd, I keep hearing that the same person who paid for buses to transport domestic terrorists to Washington, DC, on January 6, 2021, to threaten the lives of police officers, members of Congress, and the vice president was a paragon of "civility." Girl, please.

One thing is certain: a lot more people will know what a “groyper” is and what their radical memes mean now regardless of whether the suspect turns out to be one: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groypers

If this were someone I cared about I would be getting our asses to the emergency department. bsky.app/profile/atru...

The Repugnacan's are the party of hypocrisy.

A psychopath went into a store, walked up to the person at the counter and said, “Hello sir, may I have an assault rifle, 3,000 rounds, a scope and a box of penicillin? Clerk: “Sorry, sir, I can't sell you penicillin without a prescription.”

MAGA is the Molest American Girls Association Make this stick

The 400 richest people in the U.S. are now worth a record $6.6 trillion after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year.

Republicans keep saying the $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts are only cutting “waste fraud and abuse”… and yet not a single arrest. Funny how that works!

The blue states should allow anyone to sue those people in Texas who takes advantage of this legal travesty.

New York does not miss. The bleach did it for me. 😭

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.

Donald will lose his shit if you repost this.

Rep. Mark Alford to his angry constituents: "If you didn't want to hear my lies, why did you come here?" #BlueCrew
