Guessing #Trump pardons #GhislaineMaxwell in the next week. He likes dropping bombs on bombs and he’s desperate and she’s apparently got him by the balls. Then she’ll “move” out of the country. She will never speak about anything to anyone. #Epstein #Releasethefiles @msnownews.bsky.social @cnn.com

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance. The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income. They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive. Wanna fix fraud and abuse? Fix that.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

I own a towing company and grew up in the trucking industry. Every “American” truck brand named has manufacturing plants outside the US. Isuzu, a Japanese company, has plants inside the US. There are virtually no big truck companies that aren’t American, make trucks outside of US, and ship them in.

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

Exactly this ⬇️

Democrats will never be as cruel after a political assassination. That’s to their credit. But it may not be to their advantage. Piously expressing respect for Kirk’s work and the importance of “debate” are capitulations to standards to which Republicans no longer pretend to adhere. trib.al/8JZbBX1

You people trying to rewrite the history of who Charlie Kirk was are pathetic. He used his organization to bully, dox and attack people he didn't agree with. Free speech my ass. He was one of the worst aspects of American politics. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

The US president trafficked & raped underage girls, the evidence is overwhelming, everyone knows it, and this country's elites & institutions are so broken, so insular, so decadent that we can't even bring ourselves to state it clearly, much less do anything about it. Contemptible & pathetic.

I can’t help but notice the Wall Street Journal stopped getting Epstein leaks after Todd Blanche met with Ghislaine Maxwell and she was moved to a minimum security resort.

There’s a colloquial French way of saying “zero fucks given” that translates to “I’m painting my balls with the brush of indifference.” A Finnish version is “it interests me as much as a kilogram of shit.” But my favourite is from old Greek slang and it goes “flowers on my dick and bees all around.”

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying. They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks. From WCVB: youtu.be/PuFIs7OkzYY

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

Just a reminder - the tipped wage was created so employers could pay former slaves less money. Long past time to get rid of it.
