First of all, to reiterate, there can be no ambiguity, irony, or equivocation about the Nazi salute. It has one simple meaning: It expresses lust for mass murder. www.unpopularfront.news/p/enough

Hello everyone🚨 I feel shy when I ask you to stand by us in these difficult times ,but we have no other way to escape this bitter reality we live in😞 No electricity, no water, no food to break the fast in Ramadan💔🥺 Please help us in this blessed month🙏 gofund.me/edd687b8

In fairness, this is also their policy on school shootings.

Shifflett shot an unarmed Black man, claiming that he saw the man reach for his waistband. As it turned out, there was no weapon to reach for—but the suspect died all the same. American cops literally get away with murder. They need to be disarmed, demilitarized, and defunded.

yep, we have to cut Medicaid and close National Park Visitor centers so Trump can give tens of billions to his crypto bro friends. Who wouldn't support that?

We don’t need a business-crushing industry.

Chicago landlord ordered to pay $80,000 for threatening to call ICE on tenants

There is NOTHING patriotic about retaliatory tariffs, there is NOTHING that makes you more of a team player about letting the government tax you at 25% on essential items. This is the biggest tax grab in Canadian history and I need you to snap out of it, and push back. #cdnpoli

mhhh

Walgreens is closing and being sold for parts. That’s what always happens.

Sounds like they're scared.

NEW: A now-deleted list containing hundreds of US government properties that the General Services Administration (GSA) plans to sell includes most of a sprawling, highly sensitive federal complex in Springfield, Virginia that also houses a secretive CIA facility, WIRED has learned.

People do not know how Federal export permits work for natural resources & energy and that is why the Feds & the Provinces can make it seem like it is one or the other’s decision to “tariff” or “surcharge” something. All natural resources require federal export permits, they control them #cdnpoli

Today, the House GOP censured me for speaking out for the American people against @POTUS’s plan to cut Medicaid. I accept the consequences of my actions, but I refuse to stay silent in the face of injustice. #WeShallOvercome x.com/repalgreen/s...

was this because they were trying to get rid of anything with the word "black" in it, like when they similarly looked for any use of the word "transition" or "diverse"

Blackstone’s Stephen Schwarzman reaped a $1 billion payout, and then the Justice Department announced a landmark antitrust lawsuit. www.levernews.com/gop-megadono...

This is true. But also lots pf rich people who own houses do all kinds of drugs. The housing crisis is the criminalization of poverty. And the poverty is being induced and inflicted on us by the rich classes.

My youngest is a trans athlete. He fences. He has a sword. And every time I see someone like suggest that betraying my child would be good politics, I imagine stabbing with my kid's sword. It's not a very sharp sword, so I'd have to stab real hard.

The city will be evicting a large camp by tomorrow at noon, giving residents less than 24 hours notice, breaking encampment protocols to do Trump’s bidding

KEXP just played Roy Ayers' (RIP) song "D.C. City" www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKXT... Only song I know of that mentions Home Rule (First three lines: D.C. City - the time has come D.C. City - for us to be one D.C. City - one home rule)

“Bipartisanship” with Republicans means they steamroll over us and get everything they want and we get nothing. They don’t deserve 1 damn vote from us.

"Transitioning saves lives." Surely that's what matters?

MASSIVE Lithium Fire Causing Seizures, ANIMAL NOSEBLEEDS Next to Salad Bowl of America PREMIERING NOW: youtu.be/9t5SWMi0wEA?...

ive spoken out against the fucking cheneys my entire time commenting on politics because i have a fucking brain and the cheneys are kid-bombing ghouls.

I need the color coordinating Dems to read some history, read the room, read this essay please. "They (opposition parties) have to remain apart from the government to position themselves as a credible alternative, and adopting the government’s positions usually ends with them being outflanked."

HOW DARE a representative of the people represent the people???!!! How dare he stand up to a would-be dictator? a would-be king?

Ten Quislings that should be primaried in 2026.

To aid those filing FOIA requests, The Intercept is publishing Elon Musk’s government email address: [email protected]. This reflects his attachment to the White House Office, the Executive Office of the President, and apparently, his full initials & birth year 1971. theintercept.com/2025/03/06/e...

Some positive news: "Judge orders reinstatement of Gwynne Wilcox to National Labor Relations Board after her removal by US president"

Clip of Octavia E. Butler on @democracynow.org discussing Parable of the Sower and Parable of the Talents from "The Landline", ed. Tiffany Rose & @ashleysimpo.bsky.social "In hindsight, her warnings about climate change, authoritarianism, and survival feel less like fiction and more like prophecy."

I agree. He’s going to keep doing this. And I’m going to keep to my boycott of American products

“The rumor that you can’t fight city hall was started by city hall.” --Audre Lorde

Naftali Bennett declared during a speech at Columbia University that any future government he leads will not have any Arab parties. A Jewish supremacist more virulent than Netanyahu, this is the man that some Jewish Americans and Israelis think can save Israel.

Okay listen, I hate Dem leadership as much as the next person, but let's maybe not take "Haha for sure we'll take the AP's spot in the press pool" Axios dot com's word for anything

general rule: if you're starting your @-reply with "why are you surprised," you can just delete it

Mayor of LA: someone who is good at the economy please help me budget this. my city is dying

This rebuke of advocacy groups always claims to be a rebuke of pronouns, but in reality it's a rebuke of standing for anything. It's a total refusal to share a vision of a prosperous future for ordinary people. It's an abdication of responsibility. And it's why they want advocates to shut up.

You want to report on "vandalism"? Report on the incredibly polluted groundwater escaping Tesla's Fremont factory. Report on it's high-priority violations of the Clean Air Act for 12 of the last 12 quarters. All in the open, with almost zero major media coverage. niedermeyer.online/2024/02/02/i...
