LOL Ukraine hit a Russian data center and Russian bot activity immediately dropped to practically zero. Elon is mad hahahahahaha

20 million for ads, but no money for free lunches for children..... LOL

We are not being governed. We are being looted.

This also sums up the American healthcare experience pretty well. American healthcare is a travesty. This is the bad place.

CARTOON OF THE DAY…

While the planet burns, a room full of welfare queens laugh it up.

This aired just the once in 1998 on the live SNL show for which McKay wrote it. It was effectively banned as it never aired again. I wonder why. MEDIA-OPOLY

This is what a rigged economy looks like.

You'd think the fact that the son of the President of the "party of family values" 2nd marriage is to the daughter of Epstein's banker and it was funded by a Rusisan oligarch involved in the mass kidnap of Ukrainian kids during a KGB agent's illegal war Would be bigger news..

A minor detail is missing from the headline.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

In the 25 years since 9/11, the United States has spent $8 trillion+ on wars that have taken millions of lives in the name of fighting "terror." Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds here on climate, health care, housing, and education?

If Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, and Elon Musk all agree that we have to slow down - and now - something serious clearly happened with a frontier AI model. Journalists should be digging in to this. We aren’t getting the whole story here.

No election fraud to be seen here.

This keeps happening.

If only there were a law that said: "Whoever makes or offers to make an expenditure to any person, either to vote or withhold his vote, or to vote for or against any candidate Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned" We could call it 18 U.S. Code § 597 - Expenditures to influence voting

The tax rate for the richest was much higher when the middle class was strongest It was much higher even under Reagan But now they want you to behave raising taxes on the rich is “COmMuNiSm” ? Bottom line: They think we’re all idiots

Uber just announced it will lay off 10% of its workforce, or around 3,300 workers. Last year, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi made $35M — 360 times his median employee's pay — and announced a $20B stock buyback program to further enrich shareholders and himself. Textbook corporate greed.

😕

So relatable. Who among us has not had difficulty certifying our private jets?

We are projected to spend $268 BILLION on deportations — costing the average American taxpayer about $2,358 (according to @epi.org). But somehow we “can’t afford” to make sure hungry children can eat or ensure everyone, no matter their income, can access healthcare. Priorities.

The Pentagon influencer scandal keeps getting bigger. More partisan online personalities. More government jobs. More taxpayer money. Who hired them, what are they being paid to do, and are military officers violating the UCMJ? This deserves answers.

When I was there, I thought USA food was the worst I'd had.

Alex Pretti's Father: "That's how we found out — watching it on TV. Watching our son be shot 10 times on TV, in the back, trying to help somebody…with a camera in one hand, and his left hand empty in the air."

Me, for 20yrs: food shortages in modern times have nothing to do w/ population and rarely have to do w/ cultivation. They are overwhelmingly about the precarity of food distribution systems. Under fascism, incompetence is weaponized to break our food systems. Food crises/ famines are manufactured.

I mean, seriously. Were there politicians back in 1945 who thought "Yeah we should just reform the Schutzstaffel. It would be politically foolish to say we should defund or abolish them. I bet we can reign them in by re-writing laws that already exist. I'm sure they'll follow them this time."

When you hear the US has a trillion dollar military budget it sounds terrifying and invincible But then you realise all that money is just being embezzled by defence contractors and corrupt politicians And the truth is, the US military is incredibly brittle and its morale is collapsing in realtime

Is the MAGA party all just a bunch of perverts?

They use fear mongering and lies to get into office. When was the last time they actually followed-through with the promises they made? They only know how to wreak havoc and sow hatred. I'm so fucking sick of this shit 🤬

This is what you get when you don't study history and learn from it.

There are priorities, and then there are *PRIORITIES*. This current regime is actively destroying our own country AND much of the rest of the world. We need to fix that first. We can't do anything for anyone else if we are this broken.
