I wonder how someone with so many advantages and so much privilege still manages to feel oppressed, still imagines they are marginalized, still feels perpetually under siege by the world around them—a world that has always favored them. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/an-open-le...

We hope you don't find the etymology of 'tawdry' morally sordid, base, or distasteful.

Reporter: He said Zelenskyy didn't have the cards when they met in the oval office a few months back. Does Zelenskyy possibly have some cards that the president hadn't known about?

Now even someone on ketamine, mushrooms and Ecstasy can see it.

Since Elon Musk shut down USAID, 55,000 adults have died of aides, 6000 children died. Thats 61,000 people- in the first 5 months and thats just PEPFAR. You add them all up, Musk & Trump are responsible for the deaths of 300,000 people. ( hT David Brooks, Boston U.). youtu.be/suua4hYfLTY

So it’s not “Big & beautiful”?

Lots of people asking about my plans for the 2028 election. I have a new, radical two-step process I intend to deploy: 1. Vote for my preferred candidate in the primary 2. Vote for whichever dem wins the primary in the general

According to AP, the typical pay package for S&P 500 CEOs rose to $17M last year — an increase of 9.7%. At half of the companies surveyed, it would take the median worker 192 years to make what the CEO did in one year.  This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Jonathan Joss was Comanche and Apache and an openly gay actor. He was murdered while looking at the remains of his dogs at his own house that was burnt down. The killer yelled homophobic slurs before shooting him. This is the real world consequences of the hatred that the right commodifies

I feel safer already.

If you want to astound a younger American today, tell them that thirty years ago there was actually a years-long investigation into a president's personal business dealings and, even better, it centered on a real estate venture where he *lost* money.

A Johnson County,Texas Deputy used nationwide license plate readers to track down a Texas woman who was seeking an out of state abortion. The reason as stated on the warrant” had an abortion-search for female” This should scare the hell out of all Americans. Big Brother is here. #ProudBlue

Ukraine did something that the US and Europe failed to do for nearly half a century, it crippled Russia’s ability to launch nuclear weapons and long range strikes. At least one arm of Russia’s nuclear trident was destroyed. Ukraine did that, on its own, successfully. Have you said thank you yet?

Trump’s tax bill helps the rich, hurts the poor and adds trillions to the deficit | Katrina vanden Heuvel

Couple thoughts on this Ukrainian operation: 18 months of planning with no leaks is crazy impressive. The intelligence picture, the OpSec, and the execution were all top notch. I’m curious to see what else they have planned, and yes I’m worried about how Russia will respond.

Why are so many law enforcement officers wearing masks now? Embarassed?

Spare us the fake outrage.

MAKARY: 88 percent of American kids, their parents have said no to the covid shot last season. So the vast majority of Americans are saying no. BRENNAN: I don't want to crowdsource my health guidance. You don't go with popularity, you go with data.

Homeland Security has gone full fascism. This is why also we are seeing them show up with ICE. DHS raided @nadler.house.gov office and arrested one of the aides.

Trump: “Ukraine has no cards!” Ukraine <destroys 1/3rd of Russias bomber force> Trump: “”

Chris Murphy on Joni Ernst: "I think everybody in that audience knows they're going to die, they would just rather die in old age at 85 or 90 instead of dying at 40. And the reality is that when you lose your healthcare, you are much more at risk of early death."

Early rumors are that up to 40 Russian strategic bombers were destroyed in one of the most audacious operations I’ve ever seen. Get fucked, Vlad.

In a healthy information environment, this would be front-page news.

A radical transformation of our way of life is underway. Don’t let anyone gaslight you into thinking this administration is normal.

You’re telling me this guy was on drugs? I’m not buying it.

Reminder: Joni Ernst is up for reelection

Yes, you did vote to deport moms.

The spurs don't fall far from the bones.

Trump’s “ big beautiful bill” will not only cut snap, medicaid, cut rural hospitals & nursing homes etc but it will ADD at minimum 3.3 Trillion dollars to the national deficit. All to benefit billionaires

Now he’s considering pardoning the Governor Whitmer plotters (per WSJ): "These defendants were outside a woman's house in the middle of the night with night-vision goggles, and guns, and a plan to kidnap her."

A recent report found that Elon Musk faced at least $2.37B in potential legal liability from 11 fed agencies as of Inauguration Day. As he exits, these agencies are still on DOGE's chopping block or have dropped investigations into his corporations. See what this was about?

Wow. Avelo airlines has covered up their logo to hide the fact that they're helping with mass deportation. Avelo's customer service number is (346) 616-9500. Feel free to give them a call and tell them how you feel about them.

It’s almost like it’s a personal grudge or something.

If you want to understand why this country is in the state it’s in, and why we have no real functioning opposition party, consider this: Rubio has been the most dangerous and dictatorial member of the Trump cabinet. And yet every single Senate Democrat voted Yes to confirm him.

If they are actually going to enforce deportations in FL at job sites then the construction industry in FL will grind to a halt. Until they can replace those employees with US-born workers willing to work outside in the summer in 100 degree heat & humidity. Should be no problem.

You can’t be “addicted” to a human right.

Jobs you aren't qualified for are hard.
