They're scared shitless to face violent criminals—remember, they're just Proud Boys, insurrectionists, paramilitary "militias" and Klansmen cosplaying LEOs, so they go after easy targets.

He was really good at inheriting apartheid emerald mine money. Just like Trump was really good at inheriting racist slumlord money.

Rick Scott aka Skeletor did the biggest Medicare fraud, over a billion dollars. He had better lawyers, pleaded the Fifth 75 times, got off with enough money to buy the governorship of Florida twice, and a Senate seat twice.

Russia hasn't been communist for over 35 years. They're run by a corrupt, fascist, oligarch mafia, just like we are. MAGAs are just fascist stooges.

It was so bad, I couldn't sit through it. I could scan a transcript in a couple of minutes without having to sit through a half hour of this awful slow motion clickbait.

The Woke First World countries with their labor unions, public services, universal healthcare, paid-for education, public transit, clean air and water, safe food, multi-party governments, actual consumer protections, and politicians who don't work for billionaire and corporate lobbyists.

Close. The Talibans' trucks are PAID FOR. The MAGAs' trucks are one missed payment away from being repo'd.

If you use AI, you’re accelerating climate crisis, polluting deprived communities, burning through water, giving bosses excuses to reduce workers rights and wages. It’s a moral and ethical degradation. That's not even counting the intellectual property theft used to train it. That shit's evil.

Vance isn't old enough to remember that it was a race between our Nazi rocket scientists and the USSR's Nazi rocket scientists. Von Braun had the right stuff.

I'm in regular contact with people in Kenya who say the AIDS meds that kept their infected children alive were cut off. They're also having more difficulty getting malaria meds, and food insecurity is higher than it's been in a long time. That's just one country that's lost aid.
