Question: Why did US put big tariffs on India despite major national interest in cultivating a strategic counterweight to China and trying to isolate Russia? Answer: Because the US president lied that he fixed India-Pakistan and India wouldnāt go along with the lie. (Seriously, thatās the answer)
Three UM students from Kappa Alpha posed while holding rifles in front of a shot-up historic marker for Till in 2019. The commission erected a bulletproof historic marker later that year. But within a few months, a security camera recorded pictures of a white supremacist rally by the marker.

Thank you. I sometimes feel crazy when I feel like I spot trends like this.
š§µ: I'm not posting this to dunk, but because I'm seeing it often enough it looks like a coordinated campaign, and I want to give folks a heads up on some of this, if they're not familiar the dynamics. It's about the broader pattern, but comes back to the idea of dividing the Democratic Party. 1/x
BREAKING: Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook has just sued Trump over his attempt to fire her from office.
Why is the rent so damn high in LA? Simple economics: the demand for housing is extremely high and our housing supply is extremely low.
Every time I hear a kid talk about how they practiced for the mass shooting that eventually came, I think it's a searing indictment of our country's failure to actually give a shit about the safety of kids.
We have 30 departments at my #hospital looking for #nurses right now, and they are deporting nursing students
It's like if the private equity company that bought Red Lobster were given control of our government. What percentage of Americans understand any of this? Is it even 10%? Sad and scary.
A ātariff rebate checkā is like setting your kitchen on fire and then mailing yourself a bucket of water. There's an easier way to avoid the burn.
Here in Colorado, legislators from both parties are trying to grant AI companies immunity from consumer protection lawsuits. Like immunity for gun manufacturers. Politicians will be bought off by all these tech bros as their products continue to kill us.

Ha Jeffries is too busy doing whatever is donors are telling him to do.
Fear is their other fake currency.
A lot of "I do not recall." incoming...
Putting the military on the street will lower crime. It does in North Korea, did in Nazi Germany, and in the book 1984. The question isnāt will it lower crime. The question is do we want to be a nation governed like this. Until 6 minutes ago the GOP believed in LOCAL control.
What's it say that after he asks whether they're "stopping a lot of wars" they all laugh?
TRUMP: āA lot of people are saying maybe weād like a dictator.ā Heās saying it. Are you listening? šŗšø
In a genocide, you kill journalists to stop them from telling the world about your war crimes.
They gaslit you all throughout the election.

Take a moment to appreciate Harry Trumanās negotiating skills. He got Hitler to surrender everything, agree to Germanyās occupation and then shoot himself in the head.
Whereās the economic productivity in America?
Gov. Pritzker: "There is no emergency that warrants the President of the U.S. federalizing the Illinois National Guard." "Trump is attempting to manufacture a crisis, politicize Americans who serve in uniform, and continue abusing his power to distract from the pain he is causing working families."
If democrats fail in the midterms, this will be the only proof you'll need of why. Does he seriously not understand how math works???
āPapers, pleaseā
Oh, no doubt about it.
"Make sure the child is safe" is "work will make you free". How many children separated from their family during Trump's first term still aren't with their families??? Making sure they're safe my ass.
"it's a tricky issue that shouldnt require federal intervention. we'll just let local municipalities decide what is best for their communities."
Boltonās home raided, Gen. Kruse fired, Epstein coverup proceeds, seizure of 10% of Intel another step towards state capitalism. Just one day in the somewhat chaotic but directionally purposeful march towardsā¦despotism. Does anyone think theyāre doing all this so they can hand over power in 2028?
That was one of the most batshit press conferences of Trump's public life. He brandished a photo of Putin and promised to deploy the US military to occupy Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. A sane country would be moving toward impeachment and removal right now.
These are the āCareer criminalsā Trump is talking about. Sickening.

Rn 225 years ago, an enslaved blacksmith named Gabriel was planning a revolt against the "merchant class" of VA. He recruited through central VA & tidewater, even as far west as Cville. At night they fashioned old farm implements into swords & pikes after long working days being forcibly enslaved.
Lol OK. You had me going for a second that might actually be anti-MAGA in a meaningful way.
Texas Democrats fled the state to garner national attention to Republicans' Trump-led redistricting efforts. āIf Trump is going to throw out the rule book, then we will fight fire with fire,ā says Texas state Representative Trey Martinez Fischer.
An important heartbreaking story by Avi Asher-Shapiro and @chrisbing.bsky.social about the real world consequences of mistakes made by DOGE that put the lives of innocent people in Afghanistan at risk
The Bolton raid is about fear. Cross Trump at your peril. The biggest love in his life is revenge.
And those proud MAGA service men will happily defund the VA. They. dont. care.
"Thereās a whole literature about 'rent-seeking' that was supposed to be about third world countries, but now applies to us ... companies design their strategy not around what makes business sense, but around what will please the dictator. That can be a pretty significant drag on the economy."
Ha, as if MAGA, DOGE or anyone connected to them give two fucks about service members.

When Ted Turner asked Carl Sagan if he was a socialist, Sagan gave the answer America keeps failing to learn.
U.S. District Judge Richard Berman just called out the Trump DOJ and denied its request to unseal grand jury materials in the Epstein case. "The government's 100,000 pages of Epstein files and materials dwarf the 70 odd pages of Epstein grand jury materials."
What would you call this if you saw it happening in another country? apnews.com/article/redi...
Again & again, the data center industry screws over NOVA residents, from clearcutting the woods and sucking up water to requiring transmission lines >100 feet that run right by peopleās homes, all so they profit while you stuck with higher electric bills. Corporate greed is not constituent service.
I don't know who needs to hear this, but an economy controlled by a handful of oligarchs isn't a "free market."
People are so excited that we might be on the verge of civil war. Iām not. Iām a basic bitch who likes basic things like pumpkin spice lattes and not getting shot at in the grocery store.
Thank your local Black person
Iām teaching a grad seminar on American religion this semester, and am really excited to introduce my students to these phenomenal books.
That pic is for a "hilarious" text to send to their MAGA group chat.
The deep south would have the same numbers if not for black people.
Like one time my ex SIL was critical of someone's support for BLM, and I said somewhat cheeky, "oh, they think black lives matter?" and she answered "yes" seriously before choking on her words and doing some huffy "that's not what I meant". She never ultimately got it.
Yes, we're aware. We're living the nightmare everyday.
I love how "I don't want to see them get mugged" is actually just a joke to them. Shows how unserious his police takeover actually is.
I love this so much. I have no idea how it got on my phone or who made it.
Yup. The first time I tried watching it I couldn't get through it. Randomly saw it on TV and watched the whole and it's now my favorite movie. So many funny, small moments. I just love it (and that house!).
one guy even tried to give us a sandwich
I think itās high time we take back the national narrative. For centuries Americans of all races, genders, religions, and abilities have worked to create a more perfect union, and we should shout from the rooftops that WE are America. Not these idiot white supremacist authoritarians.
Trump taking āelection securityā advice from Putin says it all. Vote-by-mail is safe, secure, and reliable. Trump knows it ā he just wants to undermine our elections, and Putin is all too happy to help. Shameful.
If you havenāt seen this, itās about time you did. Sound up!
The @washingtonpost tracked where Trump's forces are patrolling in Washington. Spoiler alert: They're not where the crime is.
are these the Israelis the ADL wants me to support orā¦
But he's always right! Lol one thing about watching him is he'll always say stuff like "I've always said that." Maher isn't anywhere close to Carlin.
I made this one myself. 64 years old and I'm making memes like a middleschooler because of this sack of sh*t. But let's be clear: IT HAD TO BE DONE!! YOU'RE WELCOME!!
"What began as a modest effort by a few members of a small congregation to reach out to migrants would evolve into a deep experiment in solidarity..." our new issue of @hammerandhope.bsky.social is out! today I want to highlight this article by Benji Hart hammerandhope.org/article/chic...

Go read some history books. MAGA is the worst reflection of America past and present. We've always behaved this way, sadly.

Rosa Parks wouldn't have gotten her ass beat by two 15 year olds
I'll take that bet, sadly.
The propagandists running the @DHSgov account are deliberately pushing thinly-veiled neo-Nazi material through the official communications channels of the U.S. government. Their goal is stirring outrage (to which they will express fake outrage) and signaling to their followers where they're going.
Thereās a pro-police state cheering session happening on Morning Joe as we speak. And behold, the panel:
this dc situation looks pretty horrible. i wish i had more to say except that autocracy is always mundane and petty and vicious and encourages you to look away and be safe. and you can live quite normally under it until you're a direct target
Israel has killed nearly 270 journalists and media workers since it launched its war on Gaza.
see the cities and the towns defacād By wasting ruin of the cruel foe.
The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you youāre overreacting.
Trump named Pete Hegseth as defense secretray because he knew Hegseth wouldn't hesitate to order American troops to fire on American civilians. Sending the military into our cities is a major step toward imposing a dictatorship. It's so obvious that mainstream media are afraid to say it.
Israel flaunts its impunity for the targeted assassination of journalist Anas Al-Sharif:
ā ļø Israel killed prominent Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif in Gaza. A tent housing journalists outside of Al-Shifa Hospital was targeted. He was reporting until the moment of his death. The final words of one of his last messages were a plea to people to speak out: āSilence is complicity.ā
