House Judiciary report released by Democrats lays out Trump’s involvement in the Epstein files with 5 women saying they were raped by Trump and/or trafficked to him. It also accuses Blanche of a cover up and witness tampering with Maxwell. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 www.ms.now/news/house-j...

AOC: "They call people communists, they call them this or that. But really what it is is they're afraid of a waitress in the House and a logger in the Senate"

We don’t lack universal healthcare because we can’t afford it. We lack it because racism and capitalism have made profit and inequality more important than people’s lives.

A week before the annual NY Arab American comedy Festival Meta suddenly bans all my ads. This has NEVER happened before. But apparently the Big Tech oligarchs that run META do not want Arab American Comedy shows promoted on their platform. They think they can silence us. They are very wrong!

This is a fair question to ask. Why Russia and not Canada?

I keep reading that there have been no public executions in the United States for decades. Not true.

Nothing voters care more about than AI terminology. Trump is truly dialed in.

This photograph of a football match in Gaza by Palestinian photographer Jehad Alshrafi was removed from the Deauville Sport Images Festival in France last month following a pressure campaign from the Israeli government:

Mosquito that did not get away.

Excellent look at monopoly power with its many embedded facets. Reminds me of the judge that called for a breakup of Microsoft products due to its control power through Internet Explorer browsing forced on Windows users. With WBush winning election, judge was replaced.

Good on ya. My lunch time stop over to be shared with my mom when I went to Devonshire School.

The new whistleblower complaint makes it clear Trump's Post office can not be trusted to deliver your ballots. They are planning to not deliver ballots. We need Democratic Attorneys General to make it clear they will be SWIFTLY prosecuting anyone involved! www.mediaite.com/media/news/s...

What reality is Trump living in that leaves us in a real one we have to endure and survive?

Well shes getting closer now....

Reminds me of the guy near a Dick Cheney street interview calling out, 'Go fk yourself.' I think this was soon after Cheney said similar to a Dem Senator on the Senate floor.

Didn't MAGA get really upset about an image of an Iran mural of Trump, dead, lying 'in state' (??)? Imagine if it had the words, 'Mission Accomplished?' Just another form of Trump lying?

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

As you can tell from this short thread, Korte is a pro, and some national MSM outlet ought to pick her up and get her back in print, pronto. You'd get a lot of great stories, and you'd drive Hegseth bananas.

I’m a media critic. In my newsletter I take mainstream news outlets to task for normalizing the dictatorship that’s unfolding around us. But it’s the duty of all of us – not just the media – to sound the alarm. Your family and friends may not understand how bad it’s gotten. Tell them.

Via Ian Welsh and naked capitalism: www.presstv.co.uk/Detail/2026/... Why has this violence aboard the carrier USS Abraham Lincoln gotten no coverage? Deaths are killings. Not suicide. Story seems more like a mutiny than a fight between crew members.

But it seems that the tar sands dominate.

Tally and Jerry Leonard began skating together at the mall rink in 1967, and they've performed there four days per week since. But recently, the mall rink closed. As part of the closure, they performed one final routine together to Nat King Cole’s “L.O.V.E.” https://wapo.st/4qbnG5g

“We don’t need the Pentagon hiding more information from FOIA. We need it to actually respond to public records requests, we need it to stop harassing journalists for doing their job, and we need it to be transparent and accountable to the public,” said FPF's @laurenleharper.bsky.social

Do you think the party count control factor will ever be a factor with regard to Fetterman? My sense is that if it ever is, he'd switch parties. Not go independent and stay siding with Dems. Nothing about him says 'Dem,' policy wise. Makes too obvious a point of being contrary.

Just caught one of those bugs that can burrow into a pigeon's feathers. Smacked it hard against my shirt but on release it flew away. Almost two dimensional in size. Seemed common last summer. Starting?

At least 75 career federal officials who’d played important roles in elections have left, been fired or been reassigned. In their place are roughly two dozen people Trump has installed in positions that could affect elections. Ten of them actively worked to reverse the 2020 vote. (Published April)

Yesterday...Northwestern Ontario looked like a scene straight out of Dante’s Peak.

In America today, the wealthiest 1% is now worth more than the entire American middle class. That never happened before.
