Venezuela has oil, haven’t we learned this yet? We are pirates that steal natural resources from our own people and around the globe. This is not new. It’s been happening since Vietnam, maybe longer.
Did you know elephant tribes are matriarchal and that aggressive male calves are forced out of the tribe? Now you do. Theocratic dissident.

"No one in the administration – the president or anybody under him – has called anyone in my administration or me – have not called the city of Chicago or anyone else. So it's clear that, in secret, they're are planning this – well, it's an invasion with US troops." Gov. JB Pritzker
Major Canada envy.
What if we established a tax-exempt Church of Democracy and sued the government for infringing on our religious freedoms when it does authoritarian stuff?

Art depicting “Sandwich Guy” now at the scene of the alleged misdemeanor.
So deep in the closet. Sad.
Stop it with the partisan purity tests. That's how we ended up w shitler. No politician is perfect. Both parties suck out loud. Just try to pick the person that won't destroy democracy and put you in a concentration camp. Is that too much to ask? #veteransagainsttrump
Mike Johnson makes clear that when Congress returns next week he's going to work tirelessly to cover up the Epstein files
NEVER FORGET: The GOP Congress lack of interest in the breach of actual science at the CDC has made it CLEAR: they don’t care if we live or die.
"Literally no one thinks prayer is a substitute for action." Then why is prayer, literally, *always* the substitute for action, you willfully obtuse asshole?

What? She voted for this.
Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.
If RFK jr would stand up at ANY medical conference and spouts his pseudoscience-cult BS, he would be laughed off stage. Where TF are these same physicians now? Every single doctor in the country must take a stand against this guy.
If you don’t like it, LEAVE! But we all know you won’t. Just wake up wealth class, this doesn’t end well for you.
Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her. Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.
Masked immigration raids don’t protect us. They hide abuse and strip away our dignity. Stand with me in demanding transparency and accountability by adding your name to this petition.
Wanna guess how many checks Social Security has missed in its 90-year history?

Reading an article titled "Why didn't Brazilian democracy die?" and a key part of the story is a Supreme Court that actually did its job
Walz: "It boggles my damn mind that in the midst of a military takeover of our cities, the flaunting of the rule of law, that the press finds the need to talk about, 'Oh, there's a division in the Dem Party.' There's a division in my damn house & we're still married and things are good. That's life"
Judge Xinis: Your clients are *absolutely forbidden* from removing Mr. Abrego from the continental United States. You understand this? DOJ: Yes.
Putin had possession of the Epstein files long before the DOJ.
Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."
Finally some balls.
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING THE LYING LIARS & NEWS STINKERS OF FOX "NEWS" SO WE DON'T HAVE TO! IT IS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED BY THOSE OF US WHO VALUE HONESTY, INTEGRITY & DECENCY WHILE ALLOWING US TO CONSUME ACTUAL FACTS WITHOUT THEIR BRAINWASHING TECHNIQUES & ABILITY TO TRIGGER BOUTS OF VIOLENT NAUSEA. 🤮
I don’t think California is asking for either. Maybe in the white trash areas.
Kid Rock: I will no longer sell my music in California. Scott Baio: I will no longer act in California. Governor Newsom: My policies are working.
I trust steak tartare from a food truck with no refrigerator in August more than Ghislaine Maxwell
Must be nice to have no oligarchs on your supreme court.
Once in NYC my bag tore and my wallet fell out without my noticing. A week later I got a call from an older woman who said she’d found it and was trying to track me down for a while but at first she only found a mailing address for my dad and wouldn’t send it there because she’d “never trust a man”
He’s declaring war on Americans. That’s the headline.
And here we go…I can’t believe people VOTED for this.
I got to talk to the delightful Jodie Sweetin, who was on Full House and Fuller House, and is super woke and awesome. We talked about life and current events. I know this post won’t get many likes, cuz I’m promoting a podcast episode. But I gotta post’em. Fuck me, right?
Yes. We are in the beginnings of a civil war, if we allow it. Civilians with ammo is what is SUPPOSED to curtail thus according to the militia. But, nah, they just live to suck orange nuts.
Yeah, let’s go. Bring it. We’re smarter, it’s gonna be a bloodbath.
I’m not worried about militia men in the middle of Idaho. I think you’re okay Jethro. No offense, but wtf are you actually talking about??
CNN has really improved its chyron game
Has Arnold Schwarzenegger spoken out again the Texas gerrymander, since he’s so opposed to the idea in principle? I haven’t seen it, if he has…
Everything Trump is doing is aimed at making it harder for Democrats to vote and easier for Republicans to cheat. But we are going to fight like hell in court and we will win.
Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.
D.C. has more residents than two U.S. states. They pay more per capita in federal taxes than any other state. But they don’t get a serious seat at the table to decide how they’re governed. D.C. statehood now.
Masked raids are tools of fear, not freedom. Despite what this administration wants you to believe, they are not about “safety.” They are about letting ICE agents hide from accountability while carrying out inhumane acts.
Girls just want to have fun but Republicans say, "No fucking way. Girls and women are nothing more than host bodies for us to abuse and discard." And no one fights harder against women's rights than Republican women.
i think people need a refresher on what constitutes a Distraction. the cracker barrel logo thing (zero stakes, obviously invented controversy) is a Distraction. the ongoing military occupation of washington dc (ample footage of random delivery drivers being violently detained by feds) is not
Just saw all your comments from last night’s post and someone shared a pic, Orlando showed up and used chalk to bring the rainbow crosswalk back! We love this so much!!! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

"Communists want to take away your toothbrush" but right now the capitalists just took away science at NASA and the National Institute of Health so maybe we could live with bad breath.
All Black people have ever wanted is our freedom. That’s literally it.
Tell your parents. They’re coming for their health insurance.
If hell exists, James Dobson is about to experience the ultimate Find Out. #FAFO
What gets me is that people literally voted for all of this.
So many narcissists we have to deal with, sigh…
Meet Shakira. Ten years ago, she was living in a shelter with her three kids, working at a non-union hotel. Now she's a member of HTC. Unions are how working people can build a dignified life. But in a city as expensive as ours, they need local government on their side.
I hope she thinks about it too. And feels like an ass.
I won't say who but in 2020, I was chatting with a lawyer on my pod about donald using tear gas on protesters, and I asked her about martial law. She was so incredibly condescending and treated me like I was stupid--said it would never happen. I never aired that show. I think about it a lot now.
I wasn't overreacting.

The frequency with which #MAGA figures allegedly rape children, and the projection on the opposition of the damaging effect of the #Epstein files, are directly related. Psychologically it is not surprising at all.
Maybe instead of raiding the homes of critics, you could release the Epstein files.

The only thing I can say about this paragraph is read it. Sit with it. Read it again. @michaelharriot.bsky.social
Tremendous crossover move right here:
Why the eff would anyone vote for this nepo baby?
Then release it you couch fu@king closet case!
I can hear Samuel L. Jackson narrating this.
BREAKING: We're filing a petition for the immediate release of Mario Guevara, a journalist who is being detained by ICE because of his reporting on law enforcement activity. The First Amendment is clear: Journalists cannot be detained for doing their jobs.
Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.
California didn't start the redistricting fight. But we're going to win it.
Stephen Miller’s lash-out is not coming from a position of strength, but a position of fear. I’m not saying he does not have strength on his side — he has the appearance of military might — but HE is a cowardly little man, furious that his intimidation tactics are not yielding the results he wants.
This last paragraph in @jimacosta.bsky.social tonight’s newsletter: 🔥 In short, Newsom is saying “fuck it.” And for now, so should the rest of the Democratic party, until there are no fucks to give, while there is still a democracy to give a fuck about. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!
james dobson is dead and cannot wish anything but eternal pain on that mother fucker. that guy destroyed so many lives
Some incredibly good news: One year ago this week, The Onion returned to print. In that one year, we’ve grown to the 13th largest print newspaper in the United States, just ahead of the Boston Globe, and growing fast. In short, it’s working. So… thank you. Thank you for helping save this thing.
Three police crimes in one minute:
Do you know how insane and infuriating it is to live in a country where one party claims, with media and public support, the mantle of being the ‘tough on crime’ party while its leader openly calls for convicted criminals to be released from prison ‘or else’?

What is refreshing about Mamdani, to this soon to be 60 year old, is that both national parties are so covered in slime that he is a simple brreath of fresh air. Like, he knows the people want the resurrection of Franklin and Teddy Roosevelt in one candidate and yet he is locked into a biparty
2/ is simply disintegrating. Andrew Cuomo appears to be banking on the endorsement or assistance of Donald Trump. You may think that’s bad. But it’s more than bad. It’s absurd. Trump is despised in New York City. He’s an electoral kiss of death. A top advisor and former appointee of disgraced …
One of the many fascinating things about the NYC mayoral race is that it’s not just Mamdani’s remarkably successful campaign which even after the primary has continued to build new momentum. It’s that the rest of the political establishment or opposition or whatever you want to call it …
Who says that #animals have no feelings?? #bluesky
Red states rely on the money from Blue states to function. This can all be over the second Democratic governors actually wield their power.
If you want to put back statues and memorials and names of Confederate traitors while tearing down museum exhibitions on slavery because they don't show the greatness of the nation... the nation whose history you're celebrating is whiteness. The kind of nationalist you are is a white nationalist.
For the sake of our children, our loved ones, and the futures they deserve, we can’t just stand back and watch this democracy disappear. It’s time to level the playing field. It’s time to fight back.
Jesse “Carries” Watters. For the Kremlin, that is.
Because nothing says “you should feel free to come visit Washington” like standing in front of dozens of armed soldiers next to a guy who thinks women shouldn’t be able to vote 🙃
Private equity looted 3 Connecticut hospitals. Services cut, nurses buying their own supplies etc. They will do it to your hospital if we don't stop this trend right now. 1/ Today I'm releasing a report on the truth about private equity in health care. tinyurl.com/adangerousprospect
STEWART: "And to all the people worried about Mamdani's socialist tendencies, guess what? He's the best case scenario — because this system is not sustainable… and if this doesn’t change, there’s gonna be more drastic action.”
