@apnews.com They're not 'settlers,' they're 'violent Israelis,' 'terrorists,' or 'brutal land pirates.' Settlers build little houses, plant gardens, and open hardware stores. These monsters attack humans because they exist. Totally different.

One million seconds is about 11.6 days. One billion seconds is about 31.7 years. One trillion seconds is about 31,700 years, stretching back well before recorded history.

The jump from million to billion is a factor of 1,000, taking you from less than two weeks to over three decades. The jump from billion to trillion is another factor of 1,000, taking you from one human lifetime to a span longer than civilization itself.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

I’ve screamed this since 2016: “It all makes perfect sense when one looks at Trump as a Russian asset”. I’ve been dismissed & called (my favorite) “hysterical” I knew Roe v Wade was going to be overturned and you told me I was “over reacting” Y’all see it NOW don’t you? #Pinks #ProudBlue

Another fucked up headline. What percentage of kids are born to ANYONE for which the American children will be screwed but reversing the constitution? How many kids were born to people whose IDs were lost to wildfire, flood, etc? @pewresearch.org is playing into racist hands. #shame

pewresearch.orgAbout 9% of U.S. births in 2023 were to unauthorized or temporary legal immigrant mothers | Pew Research CenterGenerally, the trends in births to unauthorized immigrants follow the growth and decline of the unauthorized immigrant population.

It is not hard to assess. It is a lie. It is ALWAYS a lie.

President Donald Trump praised the US military operation in Iran and said that “just about everything’s been knocked out” when discussing Tehran’s military installations. Hard to assess if this is yet another lie to make people feel better or if it's really true. This is happens when your govt lies

Everyone should be subscribing to Democracy Docket. Cancel your NYT and get this, instead.

NEW EPISODE: The midterms are the greatest threat to Trump's power -- and he knows it. In this episode, I expose Trump's three-pronged plot to protect his majority: False claims of foreign election interference, DOJ's push for voter data, and a leaked executive order. www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-SE...

Some heroes wear—well I don't know what the hell she wears, but she's a hero and she's asking for help.

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it. I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.” 1/

I need to give @jeffstein.bsky.social’s podcast about John Brown a relisten. For no particular reason, of course.

This is the ad that Fox News does NOT want you to see. Fox News rejected our newest ad, which demonstrates that Trump has “gone too far” with ICE. But we will not remain silent in the face of these attacks. Share our ad and follow @usjewishdems.bsky.social to join us in the fight.

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

Erase ICE.

MinnMax@minnmax.com

"You raise your voice, I erase your voice." ICE in Minneapolis are erasing your rights. Please share our new video of what's happening in our city. youtu.be/W1dyNcRGRXY

Professional editor here... This article is shit. It gives a mouthpiece to ignorant racists trumpeting bullshit without fact-checking them. The reporters and editor should be ashamed of themselves for turning their backs on Maine.

pressherald.comWhy some Mainers support ICE’s increased enforcement in the stateHomeland Security's ‘Operation Catch of the Day’ has found vocal and widespread support among Maine's conservatives, though some are expressing concern over the federal agents' tactics.

Blaming the editors and reporters when the "business side" couldn't shift the business model to fit the business climate.
