If your chocolate does not promise it was made with basic minimum labor standards authenticated by an outside agency, it was made using unfree labor and child workers. This is just how the chocolate empires work. It is how cocoa is grown and harvested. But sometimes it's also the manufacturing! 🤬

Not prosecuting Nixon for Watergate led to Reagan and Iran-Contra. Not prosecuting Reagan for Iran-Contra led to GW Bush and the Iraq War lies. Not prosecuting GW Bush's Iraq War lies led to Trump and the Jan 6th Insurrection. Not prosecuting Trump for The Insurrection led to where the US is now.

Republican strategists say that Trump passed up a perfect opportunity to fake another assassination attempt yesterday.

So many 20-something tradwives telling us how great that lifestyle is, but not a lot of 40 or 50-something tradwives telling us how great that lifestyle is. How come?

NEW—Video shared w me by a witness shows another angle of NYPD officer throwing a protester to the ground during an anti-ICE protest outside Wyckoff Medical Center in the early hours of Sunday morning + has helped identify the officer. His name is Hubert Mohamed, The Handbasket is first to report:

SHAFT

📌Barack Obama was targeted 11 times in assassination attempts during this two terms. I bet you don't remember any of them because they were handled through proper channels, professionally, and he isn't a whiny bitch.

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

Trump stated very clearly he’s not a rapist, not a pedophile. We know he always tells the truth, so that really ought to settle the matter. Thanks for your attention to this matter!

The left’s almost jocular response to last night’s gunfire at the White House Correspondents Dinner stood in marked contrast to the somber tone adopted by Republicans in the wake of the hammer attack on Paul Pelosi

I guess no one is talking about Iran anymore.

This whole thing was staged, wasn't it? ...so, moving on from Iran... ...so, moving on from the Epstein files...

Anyway. I’m glad nobody was hurt and I’m sure the journalists who attended the WHCD will not center themselves and their personal experiences and instead remain focused on holding the powerful accountable and informing the people about their government.

Woke 2 needs Democratic leaders to remember that the Federalists and anti-Federalists hated each other. Get that attitude toward Republicans and talk accordingly. They are your colleagues working against everything you stand for, not good-intentioned, misguided friends.

It was only a matter of time: the powerful anti-abortion org Students for Life has endorsed legislation to imprison abortion patients. The move marks the biggest shift in anti-abortion politics in decades. jessica.substack.com/p/the-mask-i...

Tim Cook is stepping down from Apple to spend more time kissing up to Donald Trump with his family.

Maybe we'll keep some InfoWars content up.

Happy National Librarian Day! 👻📚

If you need a reminder about what the outside spending looked like as a whole: AIPAC's shells ended up spending over $7 million, with more than half that in pro-Fine ads, and then about an even split of anti-Biss and anti-Abughazaleh

Like, for example, a Secretary of Defense citing a fake Bible verse from Pulp Fiction to promote wars of aggression.

Can we just have healthcare

Ahem

This is unnerving. Upon renting a car for the first time in Ireland years ago, it was carefully explained to me that Guinness lorries are regarded as ambulances and have right-of-way in all circumstances. Should I see one in my rear view, I was to pull to shoulder. And then, of course, salute.

"This is what you get when you elect Republicans." Every Dem within 100 feet of a camera needs to be saying this repeatedly. Every time we elect Republicans, we get dumbass wars, tax cuts for rich people, and financial crises. Every time. Fucking say it!

The ICE kidnappings and illegal deportations to torture states have NOT STOPPED.
