Fetterman looks forward to seeing hungry and homeless 3-year-olds with $1k in their Trump accounts that they can't touch. He says it's very MAGA!

The premise here, repeated throughout American history, is that only some kind of mental manipulation could make white people enjoy art by black people. You start acknowledging black cultural contributions as valuable it’s a slippery slope to seeing black people as people bsky.app/profile/left...

China has now secured power dominance through diversification into renewables. Meanwhile, the US has been completely captured by goons from the fossil fuels industry.

"CENTRISTS UNITE!" It's 15 people. 5 of whom aren't even elected yet. All of them in districts trump won. Don't let corporate media - especially media owned by Bezos - convince you the party is somehow fractured by throngs of centrists pushing back. It's not. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Trump and Republicans radically raised health insurance premium costs -- doubling them on average -- and so 5 million Americans who used to have health insurance now can't afford it. More than half the people who have this kind of health insurance live in GOP districts: www.npr.org/2026/06/26/n...

OTD in 2022 my lead propagandist informed you "famine was our friend" as we tried to starve the world's poorest people so their governments would turn on Ukraine's supporters. The sort of thing the ICC took an interest in when it was done in Rwanda.

There aren't meaningful number of border crossings, and if someone did, this wouldn't be the place. But there's hundreds of millions in contracts with Trump cronies hanging in the balance. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Wasn't this mandatory back in the good old days before Trump decided the rules don't apply to him?

Another extreme Russian terror bombing of civilian targest in Ukraine. The whole of Europe protests vehemently, Trump & the US keep quiet. Clearly, Trump sees no reason to protest against terror bombing by his friend Putin, whose May 9 parade he protected. Trump supports terror.

Fomenting violence and mayhem are second nature to Robert Kenyon, Reform’s “plucky plumber” who will stand against Andy Burnham in the critical forthcoming Makerfield by-election. He had his X account suspended before his candidacy was announced. But the 419 archived posts we accessed painted quite

In addition to creating a $1.8 bn slush fund drawn from the US treasury, Trump's deal with himself (Trump DOJ with Trump privately) also wipes out more than $100 mn in taxes that Trump and his family owe, says NYT. That number seems very low.

The Trump administration has ousted more than half of the federal workers tasked with cleaning up radioactive waste in soil and groundwater. Drinking water for nearly 50 million Americans is at risk of radioactive contamination.

Rearming Europe and helping Ukraine does not have to be an either/or scenario. We need creative ideas. We could buy Ukrainian drones and missiles for our stockpiles, let them fire them at Russia now, and have them deliver our orders after the war

Someone pointed this out and I can't remember who, but I visualised it below Texas' storage buckets have a bigger hole in the side, but California's batteries are a WAY deeper, bigger bucket. *That* is what counts. Again: everyone involved knows this already, so no excuses for the deception.

On May 2, Leonardo Garcia Venegas, a Florida-born US citizen, was detained by ICE in Alabama for the third time in the span of a year. Why? Wrong skin color.

Attorney Kurt Olsen once worked to try to overturn Trump’s 2020 loss in court and was later sanctioned by judges for making baseless allegations about Arizona elections. He is now Trump’s director of election security and integrity.

Saying what needs to be said

You can analyze the Callais opinion using legal tools, in which case nothing makes sense, or you can analyze it as a partisan political maneuver, as Adam Serwer does, in which case the world makes sense again. We're in a dark and threatening world in which Jim Crow is back and dominant.

Rep. Khanna: Will you acknowledge that Trump's Iran war imposes an economic cost on the American people? Hegseth: We have an incredible economic team that is managing this.

Very very telling. It’s been a big question how the govt was able to get a grand jury to sign off on this particular conspiracy charge. Seems pretty clear the govt had dirty hands on that front.

Now's the time for disbarment complaints against the prosecutors who brought these cases.

@babybluetx.bsky.social was recruited to join Turning Point USA as an impressionable young woman. She was just looking for a place to belong & with her conservative Texas roots, it made sense. She exposes the tactics used to target young people to be "conservative." youtu.be/bB5slbyujII?...

Yes, we can only hope that the tide is turning and that the EU matures and creates its own defense alliance without the future influence of the US. We now know even more since Trump invited Putin to the upcoming G20, that the two psychopaths have the same common goal...to rule the world.
