RE the bs about seed oils: what part of the tree is an olive? Where does that oil come from? Buncha morons

BREAKING: Last week’s trade data shows an incredibly bleak picture for the economy: - 49% drop in global container bookings - 64% drop in U.S. imports. - 30% drop in U.S. exports.

Katherine Clark: "What they are doing here is wrecking the infrastructure of Social Security so they can rob the benefit ... it is an outrageous ripoff of the American taxpayer that we are seeing from this administration."

We all live in a company town the size of a country.

If you thought Trump and his sycophants have forgotten about elections, you are wrong. The GOP voter suppression and election subversion war machine is already preparing for the next election.

Project 2025 was just the stuff they were willing to put into print.

We have exactly one point of leverage before the midterms. ONE. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social must demand that Elon Musk and DOGE stop their illegal and unconstitutional attack on US citizens or the @democrats.org will not help Mike Johnson raise the debt ceiling. Be prepared to default.

I agree with this wholeheartedly. This is what being a progressive is about.

An hourly reminder that DOGE is not about Elon Musk cutting government money waste, it is about wasting more government money on Elon Musk. Here is Elon cutting NASA, a government agency that his private company competes with for federal funding. They aren't even bothering to hide the corruption.

I hope you are all experts in physics, chemistry, biochemistry, and self defense. That's what it will take to love through what's coming.

Polity Score rating for the US has shifted dramatically in the past month down from an 8 to a 0, changing its designation to anocracy. It is no longer considered a democracy.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau literally exists to protect consumers from predatory financial institutions. It's returned over $21 billion to 205 million consumers. The sole result of this move is that Americans will have no recourse when they get screwed over by a bank. Good work Elon 👍

Funny that the DEI backlash is just mediocre white dudes who can’t compete with people they think they’re better than.

A case of tuberculosis has been confirmed at a Michigan school. Just as the Senate considers an avowed anti-vaxxer to lead our nation’s health agencies.

What the right wing REALLY means:

What kind of dinner menu is everyone preparing for the crapocalypse? I'm having trouble concentrating.

This is a hostile takeover of the U.S. Government.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.
