Monopolists hate to see us coming. Always good to talk with trust buster Lina Khan, former chair of the Federal Trade Commission, about how we can break monopolies and get more competition back into our economy!

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

I suppose all this tripe about Biden's age might be important to know, but it belongs on the History Channel. It's not news. You know what's news? The president deploying the military against US citizens. The Billionaire Bailout Bill. DOGE getting access to our private data. THAT is news.

I suspect in the days ahead we will hear a large number of people saying publicly what no one has been saying publicly. I suspect everyone reading this knows what I am referring to. A POTUS who falsely accuses Democratic leaders of paying for a military invasion of the United States is a madman.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work. You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules. Get your lies straight.

The head of Social Security has said he’s “fundamentally a DOGE person.” The DOGE that fired thousands of workers, threatened to shut down offices, and is now rifling through Americans’ personal data? Elon Musk may be out of the picture, but DOGE is still creating chaos.

I guarantee you that these 700 Marines being deployed have very little training or experience in "crowd control" or whatever your preferred term for it. Maybe they'll be used specifically for road checkpoints. Maybe not. Regardless, they're not trained for engaging with massive civilian crowds.

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.
