The IDF kills 31 people by firing indiscriminately into a crowd gathered for food from the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, funded by the US. We feed both the IDF war machine and the victims. This suffering is a business for the US. #freepalestine www.cnn.com/2025/06/01/m...

People used to walk barefoot

We need a People’s DOGE where whistle blowers can expose corruption in government spending (and beyond).

With a new ban on marijuana in Texas how long until we hear Joe Rogan is moving? So much freedom!

DOGE claimed to save 175 billion and expose fraud but not one cut has been made into law and not one fraud charge has been filed. DOGE targeted the very agencies investigating Elon Musk, then fired the watchdogs and gutted the departments. DOGE was a scam.

Canceling a $766 million contract to develop a #birdflu vaccine seems like a bad idea, especially when early trial results looked promising and #H1N5 is mathematically inevitable.

I'm going to subscribe to the theory that the courts didn’t check Trump on the tariffs, they actually bailed him out of the mess and now he gets to save face and complain.

“Doctors have been clear that she will die within days” without this care, Amato said at a press conference in Los Angeles. “Deporting this family under these conditions is not only unlawful, it constitutes a moral failure that violates the basic tenets of humanity and decency.”

It’ll probably all work out.

AOC could run for president in 32 years, serve 8 years, and be 3 years younger than Trump is now when she leaves office.

These people selfishly clung to power and now we’re all paying the price. We need TERM *and* AGE limits ASAP. » Gerry Connolly (D-VA) – Age 75, died May 21, 2025 » Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ) – Age 77, died March 13, 2025 » Sylvester Turner (D-TX) – Age 70, died March 5, 2025

The Big Beautiful Scam will result in over 3 million Americans losing access to SNAP benefits, including approximately 800,000 adults aged who have children aged 7 or older. Republicans: Eat shit and die because our wealthy friends need even more than they already have.

Raise your hand if you're still waiting for Supreme Court to enforce their Kilmar Garcia ruling. They could issue a writ of mandamus, hold the government in contempt, or demand compliance through emergency orders. Instead, they just shrug their shoulders and do nothing. Pinches cabrones. #44days

Trump just gave a rambling speech about a guy who had a trophy wife to an audience at West Point. He wasn’t even sure where the microphone was at first. How much longer is this guy gonna make it? I know the GOP isn’t gonna do anything about it but like how long is he physically going to survive?

I just heard the term the Baby Doomers because no one was having sex and making babies.

The “Big Beautiful Bill” includes a rule that makes it harder for courts to hold government officials accountable if they ignore court orders. This could weaken the checks and balances that protect our democracy. People are worried as it moves to the Senate for debate.

EVs will get better. Reluctance motors cut rare earth use by 90 percent. They spin by pulling toward magnetic resistance, like a paperclip to a magnet—no expensive magnets needed. Cheaper, greener, and just as strong. www.theglobeandmail.com/drive/mobili...

Shelly Salyer, a former digital staffer on the Harris/Walz campaign, said some campaign members were aware not all swing states were won but were told to stay quiet. The DNC is controlled opposition.

Did you know Boeing struck a $1.1B deal with the DOJ after admitting it misled regulators about the 737 Max. 346 people died in two crashes. The deal avoids a criminal conviction for the executives whose decisions led to those deaths. In the USA you can evade justice through financial settlements.

Tesla deliveries down 13%, stock down 45%, brand ranking fell from #8 to #95. X ad revenue down 55% YoY. SpaceX dropped from top 5 to bottom third in public perception. Keep up those Roman salutes. thestockmarket.news/p/elon-musk-...

Now that Connolly has passed, is it finally AOC’s turn to take the lead on the House Oversight and Accountability Committee? Or are Democrats going to slot in another senior citizen with leukemia to block her again?

The tax cuts for the wealthy passed by just one vote. However, three Democrats in the house have recently passed because they’re too fucking old to have the goddamn job in the first place and this is why the DNC can suck it. We could have blocked the bill easily.

Very weak demand for U.S. government debt and the market dumped today Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" proposes tax cuts favoring the wealthy, potentially adding $3–5T to the deficit. This is not helping. The world just doesn't want to play ball with us anymore and Trump is doubling down

"Instead, the tariffs have destabilized American markets while simultaneously undermining U.S. dominance in the global economy." Trump’s tariff plan is like setting your house on fire to get rid of a spider newrepublic.com/post/195520/...

After the digital media team was laid off, the CDC lost access to its own social media accounts. Passwords were stored in a protected document that remaining staff could not access, effectively locking the agency out of its communication platforms www.npr.org/2025/05/21/n...

In the 1930s, the Nazis used tariffs, like Trump does now, to look strong and hurt outsiders. When people at home spoke out, they shut down the news, jailed critics, and killed their own. It wasn’t about policy. It was about maintaining their power. newrepublic.com/post/195423/...

There's a shit show on the horizon. A half a trillion of debt means: more bank failures, rising interest rates, stagflation (recession + inflation) investorsobserver.com/news/rising-...

Reminder: In 2017, ICE detained a 10-year-old girl with cerebral palsy after emergency surgery. Rosa Maria was taken from the hospital to a shelter 150 miles away, despite needing home recovery. She was later released after public outcry and a lawsuit.

Donald Trump has made between $2.8 and $3.2 billion since leaving office. He still has not paid the $454 million New York fraud judgment or the $83 million owed to E. Jean Carroll.

In Conan The Barbarian, Arnold Schwarzenegger only had 24 lines. In Terminator he had just 14.

Did you know? In 2021, the UN voted to affirm food as a human right. 180 countries voted yes. Only the United States and Israel voted no.

In 2024, the City of Los Angeles paid out over $100 million in liability settlements related to the Los Angeles Police Department. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Get7...

Elon Musk and Peter Thiel might just be a bad as we think they are. The implication is that America’s national security may be compromised not just by foreign hackers or spies—but by unchecked alliances between tech billionaires and authoritarian states. chatgpt.com/c/6828fb19-3...

Trump launching a meme coin with a Chinese shell company so 2025. MAGA = Make Altcoins Grift Again nymag.com/intelligence...

So far Trump has cut: NIH, CDC, NASA, Medicaid, AmeriCorps, Head Start, PBS, NPR, NEA, NEH, USAID, climate tracking, Energy Star, foreign aid, student loans, food safety, global vax, WHO, Paris Accord, Gavi grants, NOAA, FAFSA tools, college aid. Going to be a nightmare to put as back together.

As of today, May 14, 2025, it has been 34 days since the U.S. Supreme Court issued its ruling on April 10, 2025, in the case of Noem v. Abrego Garcia. SCOTUS needs to enforce its own ruling and hold the government accountable for defying the law. If they take no action, we are lost as a country.

I feel like a ban on porn could lead to more danger for women. It would drive the industry underground, with less regulation, more stigma, and more state control over our bodies. This is giving Orwellian 1984 vibes.

If Biden had done a fraction of what Trump’s doing, the GOP would’ve drafted articles of impeachment in Sharpie. This is the process. citizensimpeachment.com/articles-of-...
