Imagine if the media covered, and got as worked up about, Donald Trump and MAGA’s actual and open antisemitism as they do about Zohran Mamdani’s non-existent and made-up antisemitism. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Nutty R Senator Mike Lee Utah had shoe horned in to the bb bill - sale of 3.5 million acres! of US Public Lands = huge backlash, he then reduced it to 1 million acres - more bipartisan opposition. He has now withdrawn the amendment. US Public forest lands saved (for now) that’s really great news !

Litman: The irony of this just spillth over—because the Biden administration was subject to nationwide injunction after nationwide injunction in cases that didn’t warrant it. And they asked the Supreme Court, “Guys, can you do something about this?” The Republican justices declined to do so.

So I found out that it was National that raised the pension age from 60 to 65 and it's a brand new reason to hate them.

"Sorry Islamophobes, I'm a Proud Muslim American and, Like Zohran Mamdani, I'm Not Going Anywhere" The insanely bigoted attacks on Mamdani are out of control and designed to intimidate a vulnerable minority – but they will fail. Please read/share my latest for Zeteo: zeteo.com/p/sorry-isla...

Corporate profits have hit record highs. CEOs are paid 290x as much as a typical worker. We're subsidizing huge corporations that pay lousy wages through food stamps and Medicaid. But instead of cracking down on corporate greed, Republicans want to punish the working poor.

So basically Mamdani ran on what one could say is essentially the NZ Green Party platform and people... actually turned up and voted for it? And somehow it's also a shock that OFFERING HOPE vs "don't go toooooo fast, might upset the voters" / "wrecker!" / "extremist!"... can work? Really? JFC.

In a bleakly funny turn the Israeli leader and indicted war criminal, thought he could lure US into a forever war with Iran. He overlooked the thing about the orange buffoon who only does instantaneous self glory.

Honestly one of the best reasons I can give you to plant native plants right now is that everything fucking sucks & a lot of it feels (or is) totally out of our control (depending on who you are). One thing most people can do is plant a plant and then look at bees happily sipping on it.

A great point about those um sleeper cells is that now any terrorist can just dress up as ICE and walk straight into any building, even federal buildings and boom. And it’s all because ICE refuses to identify themselves or take off their masks.

The sad truth is that if Iran actually had nuclear weapons, this illegal attack would not have happened.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

What’s a worse lie: The lie from the US that Iran is close to nuclear weapon, which US intel & the IAEA disagree with. Or the lie from the EU that Iran could avoid all this by returning to the negotiating table when they were ALREADY at the negotiating able & heading to Oman when Israel attacked?

This is as big a lie as anything the Bush folks said in 2003. Demonstrably false.
