I wonder if they miss the days when they had diesel so cheap they could run massive trucker caravans against democrats.

I know I've posted this many times - needs to flood the media until election day.

And, 2nd, Kennedy has set up a grift machine of corruption and greed, making millions from his bogus MAHA health agenda. Even his wife, Cheryl Hines is making a bundle. These people should disgust all of us. Kennedy & Oz were approved by the Republican controlled Senate. Remember that on 11/3.

Two recently reported stories that tell you a lot about the grift & cruelty that define virtually every advisor person & agency in the era of Trump. 1st, health chief RFK, Jr & his snake oil sidekick, Mehmet Oz slashed health & food benefits for immigrant kids...

How, knowing all of this 👇 + #SaudiMoney + the state of our "news" and the state of our film business or what's left of it - #WhatHaveYouDone @robbonta.bsky.social?

WTF @robbonta.bsky.social???? This is unbelievable.

It might help folks to know peeps in DC are mobilizing human shields to try to protect the Kennedy Center.

@sanders.senate.gov the people do have a say in how AI is regulated and used… and because 6 million fauxgressive accelerationists stayed home in the last election… the people chose the dumbest motherfucker on earth to be president during the biggest tech shift in history. Was Steve Bannon cool?😑

The Trump administration is turning a conference room inside FEMA’s headquarters into a space to host immigration hearings starting as early as Tuesday, according to agency officials.

“Remember, the Constitution doesn’t begin with, ‘I, the president.’ It begins with, ‘We, the people.’ ” —Gloria Steinem at the 2017 Women’s March

#Gaza Just the beginning. youtu.be/iSHR_tEYJUs?...

Uh - so that makes it ok? Because it’s so much cheaper to run machines than people? We have no choice when Computer Says? No. Google can fucking afford to employ humans to make important decisions Don’t even try to argue this. .

It’s not “an oil deal with Venezuela.” It’s Trump kidnapping an autocrat, refusing to hold elections, then leaving the remainder of the regime in place but only if they allow him to pillage their natural resources, which they are doing to remain in power oppressing the people.

Great summary. And it should be the lede in every report on this so-called deal.

Food companies wanted deregulation. Now there are dozens of recalls across the country. Mining companies wanted deregulation. Now the black lung rate is at a 45-year high. Financial companies wanted deregulation. Now financial losses to fraud are the highest on record. Noticing a pattern?

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

If we locked up every sex offender, would there be any Republicans left in office?

Sickening that corporate media has been directed by their billionaire handlers to ask every Democrat about the DSA platform in an effort to divide the party, instead of the GOP platform of kidnapping, starvation, murder, and death.

If he wasn't on track to be one of history's greatest murderers, I might feel sorry for the guy being such a cringey loser.

The VA electronic health records system is down. That’s comforting. Trump sucks. (This never happened in the 11 years I worked there)

Dear #AllEmployers, #BanMetaGlasses in the workplace. Don't know where on earth they would be acceptable, but definitely not: on my co-worker, my boss in client meetings, company bathroom in customer service so not on the guy receipt-checking at #Costco in Foster City

The US currently gives more military aid to Egypt than to Ukraine. Why?

"Call it democracy, or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country for all God's children." —Martin Luther King, Jr.

Holy shit this is like the list of Browns starting QBs since 1999 but for sex criminals.

Right-wing justice Samuel Alito complains that telemedicine abortion providers are undermining Dobbs and red-state bans. To which Dr. Angel Foster and her allies at The MAP respond: “Yeah, exactly.”

Dr. Fauci had us wear masks during a global pandemic. RFK Jr. collects raccoon penises. But okay.

IRS CEO Frank Bisignano says the Trump admin is proving that the agency can have "less people and better results." But over the last month, I spent hours on hold with the IRS trying to fix a tax problem the agency caused--and no one ever answered. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I had to go back to work when my first baby was 14 days old, but I’m glad to know Mitch McConnell has unlimited medical leave…

President Obama put his country and its citizens first. Traitor Trump has never put anyone first in his life. That's why he's hated by anyone worth a shit.
