Someone should investigate the number of families who are raising their kids to become professional sports athletes. When that person writes their book, they could call it "Lottery Kid".

The most honest thing he said.
Don't forget line his pockets with $$ from lobbyists.
*we live in a country. This is not normal in most countries.
Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve on the Minnesota shooting: "The sad thing is we can't sit here and tell them that help is on the way. Because we're not going to do a damn thing about it."
🤢🤮
To Donald Trump and his administration: If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me — not time or political circumstance — from making sure you face justice under our constitutional rule of law.
They publicly shame themselves
SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov on fascism in 🇺🇸 : “There is not safety in keeping your head down… People who oppose public policy decisions but are too afraid of retribution from their government to speak their mind should send a chill down all of our spines.”
🔥 STEWART: “This is the lie they tell you — that all this money flowing towards corporate interests is actually for YOUR benefit…. That government intervention for corporations is our ‘FREE MARKET’, but government intervention for workers is ‘SOCIALISM’.
The issue isn’t that Maxwell lied throughout her entire proffer. She has been lying, deceiving and manipulating people her entire life. I expect it from her. The issue is that the US Department of Justice gave her very tangible benefits already for those lies with more to come.
They don't care about human rights. If they did, they would never have allowed it to happen in Qatar.
Who would have guessed that South Park is the one entity that is not afraid to stand up to this administration.
There were also multiple bomb threats to primary and secondary schools on the same day. Sounds like mass coordnation meant to continue to keep everyone on edge.
Of course she has.
The governors and legislative bodies of these bright red states are fomenting this type of thing to happen. Same is happening in rural Tennessee.
Because he is a hypocrite?
Good point!
And to distract from the Epstein files.
Worth a read. Florida man...and woman...
Hopefully I will be joining you in a few years. ♥️🇪🇸
Georgetown is one of the most affluent neighborhoods in DC. Whom, exactly, are they trying to "protect"??
Not good...

And he's distracting from the Epstein files!
👇🏽 🎯
Short answer 👇
🚨 State Representative Ann Johnson from Houston, TX, is speaking some truth to power. Her message carries weight; it carries values, American values. ✊🏼
“BECAUSE WE CAN” 🤔 They’re not even hiding it. Fascism is here. 🇺🇸
one of the most infuriating parts of the Epstein story is over the same years that young women went to police and reported assault, and were ignored, law enforcement is pushing this idea that they need massive grants and manpower to rescue thousands of girls they say don’t even know they’re victims
This was also profiled in Rolling Stone last year 👇 www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...
They don't care about facts.
The President of the United States went on CNBC today and said: He won the 2020 election (he didn’t). He has a 71% approval rating (he doesn’t). The jobs numbers were rigged (they weren’t). I could say something funny here, but I won’t. It’s just so damn dangerous to have him in the White House.
The rich must be incentivised; the poor must be disciplined. The political economy of the super-elite in one headline.
And cites an opinion piece in the Washington Examiner. Great! 🤦
The hypocrisy is astounding. James Stalarico (Rep. Texas) calls them out.
Donald Trump is a complete fraud. Always has been.
If you believe that Trump’s goal is power, then it can, and will, get much, much worse. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/what...

The Smithsonian Institution has removed from an exhibit a reference to President Donald Trump’s two impeachments, a decision that comes as the White House exerts pressure to offer a more positive — and selective — view of U.S. history.
This you, bro?

Why is it acceptable for the president to use taxpayer money to fly overseas and cut a ribbon at his own golf course? Don’t normalize this abuse of office. It’s blatant corruption.
In Vegas they are projecting $12 rides to the airport, per person, from downtown using the Vegas loop. By comparison, in Minneapolis, the light rail costs $2 for 2 1/2 hours. Chicago, it is $5. If we want real public transportation, we need a train / light rail.
So basically they will be building a tunnel exclusively for Tesla vehicles. How much will a ride cost? They will want to recoup their money and make a profit (private investment), so I'm assuming that it would cost a lot.
It’s insane that we live in a country where folks can walk around in the street with an AR-15.
This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office. 2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor. 3) Donors make a huge profit. 4) Repeat. For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.
Not to mention the $10 million he's spending on a golf trip to one of his own properties.
94% of teachers have had to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies. An estimated 1 in 6 have second jobs during the school year to make ends meet. The average Wall Street employee got a record $244,700 bonus last year. Something has gone terribly wrong.
The grift continues
He's not wrong...
The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
Americans have short term memory. 6 weeks is a lot of time, with plenty of opportunities for distractions. My bet is that this is what they're counting on.
It is always about making money. For-profit prisons should be banned, but here we are...

"Every major US city has a private foundation supporting police, with more than 250 nationwide. The foundations have been used to pay for surveillance technologies in cities like Baltimore and Los Angeles without being subject to public scrutiny, according to the report."
The United States has sent five men to the small African nation of Eswatini in an expansion of the Trump administration’s largely secretive third-country deportation program, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said Tuesday.
13 July 1942 | A transport of 1,005 Jewish men, women, and children deported from Berlin arrived at Auschwitz. No one from this transport was registered in the camp. Most probably everyone was murdered in a gas chamber.
El gobierno local y nacional deben prohibir esto. Es absolutamente ridículo.
Monsters!
Some people have way too much money.
Some people have way too much money.
This is what happens when you have the foxes guarding the henhouse.
Is anyone in this administration able to deliver a coherent sentence??
Apparently, for some, immigrants can't be orphans, or vice versa...
Investigative journalist @jkbjournalist.bsky.social has been all over the Epstein case for years. She calls the prison video released to *prove* it was a suicide “misleading”, and points to the numerous shady equipment failures surrounding his death.
The reason many magats won't admit that they are wrong, even if their spouses are deported.
The best early-warning system for natural disasters is Ted Cruz leaving the country for vacation.
reasoned_reality Undocumented immigrants paid over $96 billion into U.S. systems—while being denied most of the benefits. Churches? Paid $0 in federal income tax.
Not surprised.
What these dingbats fail to realize is that art has almost always been a way to comment on (and often to criticize) contemporary issues.
Yet some keep voting for people who work against their interests by becoming distracted by their manufactured crisis du jour.
WATCH — @IAmPoliticsGirl (a naturalized citizen herself): “It was never just about undocumented people… it’s about who they want here. They’re changing the rules of the game after you’ve played the game.”
Looks like they want to normalize having masked, armed men on the streets and in public spaces.
Deny and deflect. That is how they avoid taking responsibility for their actions (or inaction).
One of the greatest cartoons of all time!
Jealousy
Secret police is what it is. I expect that they will add many more agents and that the vetting process will be suspect at best.
It’s time for real Christians to get really loud about the rise in fake Christianity.

I would not have stayed on that bridge that long...
They are treating this just like school shootings: "thoughts and prayers", "now is not the time to talk about that", etc.
They will play this the same way they do with school shootings. They will send their "thoughts and prayers" and say that "now is not the time to make changes" to the system.
The benefits of reading are many. Some include learning new vocabulary using context clues, working your imagination and, more importantly, taking a break from the use of technology.
They can't afford to lose the midterms. Things will get more crazy and dangerous between now and then.
