www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024... ““[T]he right to individual liberty includes the right to be released from incarceration on time after the term set by the court has ended,” assistant attorney general Kristen Clarke said…” Parishes profit off prisoners & want that revenue. Add racism & low pay.

It all started with Reagan many years ago. When he deregulated the media, he gave the purveyors of lies, conspiracies, and misinformation the freedom to do and say whatever they wanted.

As for the popular vote, according to the latest tally from the Cook Political Report, Trump won 49.8% of the vote, a margin of 1.47% over Harris. Harris, interestingly enough, "won a higher percentage of the popular vote than Trump received in 2016 or 2020..." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Well done RollingStone for reporting it accurately.

Vance, Musk, and other Trump figures are all Yarvin devotees. Trump and his regressives have Yarvin, we have Heather Marsh.

To no one's surprise, RFK Jr's weird job application which asks people if they like poetry, want to have sex or have ever had bizarre fantasies, was created by Jordan Peterson. Peterson, who Trudeau recently testified under oath is a paid propagandist for Putin, has left Canada and moved to the US.

Who here agrees?

Land doesn’t vote. Stop pretending it does.

#Italy: Doctors Without Borders forced to end operation of #GeoBarents search & rescue ship due to Italian laws & policies. They made it impossible to continue with the current operational model, they disregard the lives of people crossing the #Mediterranean. Our ship saved over 12,600 lives.

The White House gave Israel the coordinates of an American family in Gaza, ostensibly to protect them. Israel used those coordinates to bomb them. theintercept.com/2024/12/06/i...

Renewed active warfare in #Syria put civilians at risk of unlawful attacks, displacement & arbitrary detention. A reminder to those who pretend #Syria was safe enough to return those who sought protection beyond borders that Syria is NOT safe. www.hrw.org/news/2024/12...

Dear President Biden, In the spirit of Dark Brandon, please use one of your Executive Orders to CANCEL ALL STUDENT DEBT. That way, if trump wanted to reverse it, he'd have to disappoint all those families and reinstate all that debt. You have immunity. Just do it. Signed, US

Chris is correct. Everyone stop saying landslide or mandate now. And let’s get to work blocking their most extreme plans. [Repost: https://buff.ly/41pxuOu]

As someone on SSDI I can't tell you how it hurts to listen to people speak about Social Security and Medicare but fail to mention the populations who subsist on these programs: Seniors: 77.8% Survivors: 11.2% People w/Disabilities: 11% It's very crucial in our messaging to ensure everyone is seen.

NEW: Formaldehyde contributes more to outdoor cancer risk than any other toxic air pollutant in the US. It comes from cars, trucks, planes and a combination of emissions cooked in the atmosphere. For the first time, EPA modeled this risk down to the census block — and we mapped it.

Here's just SOME of the scum that Donald Trump has pardoned... Some of these people helped try and overturn the 2020 election.

Where was Trump-pardoned Dinesh’s outrage when the convicted felon pardoned him and these other dirtbags, not to mention Kushner’s daddy? Right on brand with the criming MAGA Republicans’ nauseating hypocrisy. Repost so others can remember the beauties pardoned by the convicted felons.

WATCH: “The root of inflation started with Trump.” Pretty wild that only @mcuban.bsky.social and a few others talked about Trump’s OPEC 2020 deal getting Saudi Arabia & Russia to cut oil production, and the role it played in spiking gas prices — which spiked inflation for 2 years.

A coup d'état cannot be declared successful until the winner of the coup declares it, the Assad regime has two options: 1. to declare they stopped a coup; show weakness that it was attempted, 2. deny that it happened; flood the info space with disinformation gaslighting everyone. #freeSyria

"Tulsi Gabbard’s longstanding association with a shadowy rightwing cult, her history of suspicious uses of campaign funds, her habitual conspiracism and advocacy for the interests of bloodthirsty dictators (including Syria’s Bashar al-Assad as well as Putin) all raise a multiplicity of red flags."

Please remember there are billionaires spending money on outrage media to make you mad at federal civil servants instead of the Supreme Court they bought. Please save your outrage for the actual fascists.

Everything Elon is about to do has the same ambition as the Bureau of Land Management hoax Trump pulled in 2019-20. We now know the goal was to force people (especially nonwhites) to quit—and force those who remained to have harder jobs so the Bureau would be less experienced and fail in its duties.
