You cannot make billions dollars with hurting, exploiting, and crushing other people on the way there. If there's an ethical way to do it, we haven't seen it manifest yet. That level of personal wealth should viewed with fear, not admiration.
this is not an amount of money any individual or household should be able to have and we have to abolish both billionaires as a group and the economic system that makes them possible

America & Israel strike Iran to prevent missiles. Iran fires missiles because it was struck. Starmer uses those missiles to justify using British bases to strike Iran. It's all painfully circular. Strip away the noise & it's an illegal war of aggression.
BREAKING: Keir Starmer has given US permission to use UK bases to launch “defensive” airstrikes against Iran - destroying its missiles “at source” to prevent them firing across region.

After the arrests of powerful men across the world, you might be asking why the US has so much trouble holding its leaders accountable for lawbreaking. Since Nixon, all three branches of government have worked hard to ensure they can break the law with impunity www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

BREAKING: Vice President JD Vance says the Trump administration is pausing some Medicaid funding to Minnesota because of fraud concerns.
jamesrandisghost.bsky.social reposted
It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school. They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.

The media should cover this as murder because it is.
JD Vance: "We're announcing today that we have decided to temporarily halt certain amounts of Medicaid funding that is going to the state of Minnesota in order to ensure that the state of Minnesota takes its obligations seriously to be good stewards of the American people's tax money."

This allows the Trump administration to literally condition citizenship on what it defines as acceptable speech
The 3 million-plus people applying for immigration status changes will now be required to provide the government with their social media handles. This expansive new requirement poses a serious threat to constitutional rights. bit.ly/4aE5uKa
This is why it's not useful to simply argue points with these fascists. Point out how utterly wrong and malicious they are, but DO NOT treat them like their ideas are worth arguing over. Ridicule and derision are all they deserve and all they should get, the fact checking is for those watching.

This is what needs to happen to every single one of these freaks. Trap them in their homes, make them afraid to ever appear in public lest they be ridiculed and mocked constantly. Make them viscerally aware of how much they are hated.

An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.
Ruben Ray Martinez was shot through his driver's-side window in South Padre Island, Texas.

You’ll be seeing a lot about this memo today. I published it first (and got the story right) b/c I’ve been covering this case in depth at Law Dork — even filing a motion last week to intervene and improve public access. I knew this was an important case; my work shows it. Subscribe: www.lawdork.com
EXCLUSIVE: Senior DHS officials double down on arresting and detaining refugees in new memo. Hours after DOJ filed the new memo in court in Minnesota, a magistrate judge denied Law Dork's request for greater public access in the case — including remote electronic docket access.

Why do MAGA apparatchiks think they are historians when they're so bad at it? Musk is late to the defend-the-culture brain boil. We're multiple panics along by now. Germans in Pennsylvania! Irish in, uh, everywhere! Papists! Italians! Jews! Turns out an open society draws those who want to belong.
We must speak plainly about the agenda Elon Musk & other MAGA leaders are pushing. It’s white nationalism. There’s no room for Black, Hispanic/Latino, Asian, Native, Jewish or all other Americans in Musk’s monocultural vision. Multiculturalism is superior. We can’t allow Musk & others to end it.
