During his two decades in the New Jersey Senate, Tom Kean Jr. consistently opposed paid sick leave for his constituents.

NO 👇 LIES DETECTED.......

“In effect, today’s corporations and wealthy are hoarding the society’s resources for themselves, while starving the treasury of funds that are badly needed for repairing and strengthening the society on which their wealth depends.” www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

DM by a reader of my latest UBI essay that builds off of Graeber's Debt: "Scott, I just read the Primordial Credit Argument piece, and it moved me to tears, sincerely. You have written a masterpiece. Thank you for all the steps you took to arrive here. And for all those you will take in the future."

They call them "data centers" because “mass-surveillance centers” would be harder to sell.

This is happening in the middle of Tel Aviv 👏🏼👏🏼👇🏼💙

From a friend’s Facebook page. Perfect. 👌

This is an excellent summary of current circumstances Kyle Kulinski: “A sundowning president with Alzheimer’s who’s a malignant narcissist is dragging us into WWIII, committing war crimes on a daily basis and crashing the global economy, and nobody is actually grabbing the steering wheel.”

Walz: The president said it's a bunch of radicals. You're damn right we've been radicalized. Radicalized by compassion, radicalized by decency, radicalized by due process, radicalized by democracy.

Someone tell Pam Bondi it's time to talk about the Epstein files. The Dow is under 50,000.

MAHA was always a con. It was always about the ego and ambition of a drug-addled narcissistic fraud.

Congress will vote to lower the age to prosecute minors as adults from 16 down to 14 in DC. Let me get this straight: Congress wants to prosecute 14 yr. olds as adults, but they don’t want to prosecute adults who sexually abuse 14 year olds? Release the Epstein files.

The Roberts Court has a clear set of guidelines: the president can do anything he pleases, so long as it does not violate the rights of the owning class.

This is brilliant.

This is the grim, depressing reality Trump has made of American life. Instead of waking up on a Saturday, relaxing and spending time with your loved ones, you now have to watch American towns being ravaged and its citizens being murdered by violent secret police.

Protester in Minnesota: I’m 70 years old and I’m fucking angry *disappears into gas*

I just watched the shooting video. It's a horrific beating and execution in the middle of the street. If local and state officials don't move to arrest everyone involved for murder, they need to resign. Making arrests will de-escalate the situation. Do nothing and this is going to explode.

What we are watching is a paramilitary force learning that they can kill with impunity, that the regime will smear the victim and defend them. Unless politicians and the legal system exerts accountability, it will not stop. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/past-the-b...

I have now watched the video of the execution today and it is absolutely horrifying. One cannot unsee it. You can clearly see in the video that an ICE agent fires multiple shots into the man *after* he is already shot and presumably dead. It was an execution in broad daylight by the Trump regime.

Update: The man shot by federal agents in Minneapolis has died, according to Police Chief Brian O'Hara.

ICE just gunned down ANOTHER person, beating a man half to death before shooting him at point blank range. What the fuck are we doing? ARREST ICE NOW. PROSECUTE ICE NOW. I will not rest until every single one of these murderers is held accountable to the communities they terrorize.

There is video circulating on social media of a group of ICE agents beating a man near 26th and Nicollet in south Minneapolis, then one of the ICE agents shoots the man while he's on the ground numerous times. A witness can be heard yelling that the victim is dead.

This is how you do it. No preamble to swear to God you don't like Maduro.

Alison Greene continues to investigate in Florida and report on her findings. "Dig into the data and it becomes unmistakable: Florida’s reported results don’t line up with the voter records that generated them. And the stakes go far beyond the presidency—

When we get to the other side of this—and we will—we’re calling out every coward who refused to acknowledge the stolen 2024 election. They’re all protecting the check-writing pedophiles in the Epstein files. Breaking news: authoritarians steal elections. We have the data. We voted for her. She won.

This is all John Roberts’ fault

This headline is journalistic malpractice. The leaked info is not about a "peace plan," it's a draft plan presented by the Kremlin fascists for capitulation of Ukraine. P.S. Ukraine just struck Russia with American ATACMS missiles. Trump isn't looking for Ukraine to capitulate.

There would be nothing wrong with AI substituting people in jobs, if there were a system already in place for the distribution of the wealth generated by AI jobs at a universal level (universal basic income guarantee).

From my book THEY KNEW, written in 2021, on Trump's plans. This is what's happening now.

Alright I'll give him some credit for this one

Trump's deployment of the National Guard to Washington, DC costs more than 4 times as much as it would cost to simply house every homeless person in the city, according to researcher Hanna Homestead. www.commondreams.org/news/trump-n...

Control of the Senate could be decided in Maine. This oyster farmer is vying to unseat Susan Collins.

A new long-term study is out today that got covered by the NYT, absolutely destroying their own recent story about cash not helping poor kids. “This is easily the biggest impact on child survival that I’ve seen from an intervention that was designed to alleviate poverty." 45% ⬇️‼️ archive.ph/ct2o0

Epsteins victims to hold a press conference. The energy is: 1. Whistle blower 2. You can’t stop us 3. There are MORE coming we don’t even know about yet. 4. The energy is GROWING - not subsiding. 5. Justice is coming sooner or later.

I genuinely have a tear in my eye. Thank you Alaska. From all of us who care about justice, freedom and most of all Ukraine. This is happening right now, deep in the evening in the northernmost state of the union. THANK YOU ALASKA. #SaveUkraine
