Grocery inflation is real. These receipts aren’t. The product codes fail barcode checks, and the Walmart address doesn’t check out. Why fabricate evidence of a problem we can already prove? Fake nonsense like this just undermines a legitimate argument.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

Aside from the naked imperialism here, and cash grab, he admits it’s a war. A war without UN or congressional approval. A war which Rubio denied was a war and claimed was a law enforcement action. Trump as ever undermines his own people’s claims. It was a war. An illegal imperial one.

Trump: "In January, at my direction, the United States military conducted a massive military operation penetrating deep into the Venezuelan capital ... it was a war. To the victor belong the spoils."

What's worse: a Twitch streamer's 2019 comments about 9/11 or the US president on the 25th anniversary of 9/11 selling even more weapons to the country that many 9/11 families believe may have been behind the attacks, or at least knew about them in advance, and that 15 of the 19 hijackers came from?

She adds, "But Republicans have made it a big attack on you," which is a telling statement. Stated simply: We don't find it newsworthy either, but it's our job to use talking points from one side and parrot them back to the other side. If not, we'll be accused of bias.

Turns out that if you are an old lady with a banner supporting Palestine, the government arrests you on charges of terrorism. If you are a masked white male thug bringing a national port to a standstill, the government does absolutely nothing, and the media covers it like some lads on a day out.

IT WAS NEVER THE IMMGRANTS IN SMALL BOATS The world is 700% richer than in 1970 but the average person is only 8% richer Because the richest 0.01% are 4000% richer We are all being robbed every second of every day, and it doesn't matter how much profit or growth there is It will never reach you

I’m rewatching Clue right now, just days after losing Tim Curry. Madeline Kahn, Eileen Brennan, Martin Mull… so much extraordinary talent in one gloriously ridiculous movie, and now so many of them are gone. What a cast. What a loss. #Clue #TimCurry #MadelineKahn #ClassicMovies

It’s truly genius when you think about it. Gut food safety regulations. The grocery store becomes a Russian roulette of salmonella, listeria, and botulism. You stop buying food and you can afford to buy gas again! Inflation solved. #FoodSafety #FoodRecalls #Deregulation #RFKJr #TrumpAdministration

Air conditioning isn’t an issue of comfort or luxury for people who are incarcerated — it can be a matter of life or death.

Prison Policy Initiative@prisonpolicy.org

A blistering reminder that only 5 U.S. states provide air conditioning in all prison units. And states like Texas and Florida, known for sweltering heat, are not among them:

Republicans call progressives “communists and Islamists.” Establishment Democrats call them “radical” and “unelectable.” Same panic, better table manners. It’s disgusting watching centrists fight harder against the progress voters are demanding than against Republicans destroying the country.

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social

When your party leader is a president with historically low approval ratings, who has raised prices through tariffs and wars, uses disaster relief and science grants to punish states that didn’t vote for him, and has agents shooting people in the streets, this is what you do.

I agree her concession was gracious, Betty. But good manners after losing don’t erase Haley’s continued support for arming Israel as Gaza was destroyed. I can acknowledge this gesture and still find her untrustworthy. Genocide is a moral line. I’ll never trust a Democrat who crosses it.

Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social

In a country with a president who is such a destructive sore loser, politicians who are both helpful and gracious in defeat is a greatly appreciated novelty.

For a while I thought I was alone. Good to know there are other Trek fans who also find “Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations” an awkward slogan for a franchise owned by a fascist billionaire.

I hope that the Paramount-WB merger fails and backfires so badly that it not only causes the Ellisons to lose lots of money, but they lose so much that they have to start selling some of Paramount's IPs to stay afloat. They can start with Star Trek and Avatar.

Money and religion. Two things humanity invented, then convinced itself it couldn’t live without.

People will really believe we can cure thousands of diseases and go to the moon but that it's also impossible for human society to exist even slightly differently from exactly how it is now despite our species thriving without the existence of money for 200,000+ years

He has to have an incentive to be honest. He can’t just be a decent, truthful, human being. There has to be a payout.

It's always lovely to see people supporting the LGBT+ community. Someone needs to tell London Labour Assembly Members who all abstained this week on a motion standing up for trans rights and challenging the EHRC. Why abstain on people's human rights and then "celebrate" Pride?

The can doesn't need to kicked down the road, again. People have had enough of tinkering around the edges. Bold changes now. We are in crisis. Rent controls, wealth taxes, public ownership of what is ours. Real change.

57 years ago today, queer people resisted a police raid at a gay bar in NYC. These activists bravely defended their right to exist in the face of government oppression, causing a major turning point for LGBTQ rights. We honor Stonewall's legacy as we continue the work for liberation.

Alan Turing, one of Britain’s most renowned humanists, was a visionary whose genius helped the Allies win WWII. Yet despite his extraordinary contributions, he was subjected to chemical castration by the British state in 1952. This #PrideMonth, we remember him. He was born #OnThisDay 1912.

AIPAC supported 109 insurrectionist Republicans in the 2022 midterms. A group that bankrolls election deniers doesn't care about democracy, yet Jared Moskowitz gladly takes AIPAC money while serving on the House January 6 Subcommittee. That should trouble every voter in FL-25.
