Rahm Emanual is so insufferably arrogant. He’s incapable of listening to other people, all he cares about is his own argument. I’ve listened to him on a variety of platforms, trying to see if I’m missing something. Nope, he’s just a know-it-all who dismisses voters if they don’t parrot his ideas.

North Korea is good. Canada is bad. Coal is good. Solar is bad. Measles is good. Vaccination is bad. Child rapists are good. Childcare is bad. Pointless wars are good. Universal healthcare is bad. Anyone supporting the unrelenting chaos of the #GOP deserves zero respect. #RemoveTrump

I suspect the Pope sounds "woke" to many Christian conservatives because the US is steeped in prosperity theology, where the point of worship is to deliver health and wealth to believers. Thus, "feed the hungry" and "show mercy for the poor" sounds needlessly political and "woke."

Imagine you hone your craft since childhood, reach the pinnacle of your sport, grind through tough Olympic competition to achieve a gold medal, only to be used as a prop for a greedy madman at his rambling out of touch State of the Union address.

Obscene ideas are injected into public life with "humour" ... and then enacted. My column this week is pegged to the recent calls in the Spectator to murder people at Glastonbury, and on GB News to starve and shoot disabled people. You could call it wink murder. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

What, to the American slave, is your 4th of July? I answer; a day that reveals to him, more than. all other days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which lie is the constant victim. To him, your celebration is a sham; your boasted liberty, an unholy license;

and solemnity, are, to him, mere bombast, fraud, deception, impiety, and hypocrisy-a thin veil to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages. There is not a nation on the earth guilty of practices, more shocking and bloody, than are the people of these United States, at this very hour.

your national greatness, swelling vanity; your sounds of rejoicing are empty and heartless; your denunciations of tyrants, brass fronted impudence; your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mockery; your prayers and hymns, your sermons and thanksgivings, with all your religious parade,

NYT: Tesla’s business tanked again last quarter. Must be the autonomous car focus. The rest of the world: Musk is an insane fascist enabler who seems to hate women and any non-white person. Why the F would I buy a car from him?

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

A French researcher was detained on arrival in the US and his computer and phone were confiscated. Texts criticizing Trump's cuts to scientific research were deemed by DHS agents as "hatred of Trump …described as terrorism." He was deported.

I look at restrictions on trans people’s access to medical services & the freedom to occupy public spaces as practice. This is a test, banning a group, not on criminal acts, but on their personhood. After this, these techniques can be applied to non-Christians, women, non-whites, liberals etc.

Why does President Musķ care so much about cutting taxes? Does he want to pay less than zero on business like Tesla? If you don’t pay taxes you shouldn’t be in charge of restructuring the tax code.

You are up to date.
