Remember the media coverage ten years ago about an epidemic of “deaths of despair” among middle-aged white Americans? Researchers were sounding the alarm about the sharp increase in death rates due to suicide and substance abuse. I think our political landscape is a manifestation of this

According to Donald Trump, Ukraine should have never started the war with Russia, Poland should have never annexed itself to Germany, Jesus should have never nailed himself to the cross, and Parkland shooting victims should have never gone to school.

Yes. But they are missing that much of this has to be performative. That’s what Trump is great at and Dems are awful at. You can’t just tell voters , you have to know how to sell voters. Trump gives sales pitches, Dems show charts. One goes viral. The other is ignored and forgotten

We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.

One of the kids (he’s 19) who is carrying out Leon’s orders is the son of the owner the popcorn company Lesser Evil. That’s the one sold at Whole Foods with pink salt and avocado oil and shit. You know what to do. (Or better yet, what not to do)

Yesi shared a video of some of her work pruning grapevines near Madera CA. She starts at 6am and ends her day at 4pm. The day looks clear but it started off bitterly cold and the two pairs of gloves she wore did little to help. #WeFeedYou

Donald Trump’s dramatic and vile dismantling of USAID came as USAID’s inspector general was conducting an investigation involving Musk’s company, Starlink. In three steps, Trump’s administration killed the investigation that was sure to embarrass Elon’s company. www.thealtmedia.com/p/how-trump-...

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

If I were in congress and an immigrant kept breaking into federal buildings to steal my constituents data. I would call 911. Has anyone just called 911?

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

Roman shared this video with us from the watermelon harvest in Arizona. An average watermelon weighs 20 lb. These farm workers form a human chain of picking and passing the heavy fruit into the trailer. #WeFeedYou

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

In 2016 the NYT ran multiple front page stories page about the grave national security risk of Hillary Clinton's server. Today's front page, and nary a mention of the successful "plutocratic coup" (said by a sitting House member) or "constitutional crisis (said by a sitting Senator) unfolding

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

Whether it's Donna Brazile sharing town hall topics with Hillary Clinton or Trump treasury secretary Scott Bessent sharing your Social Security Number with Elon Musk, both sides are guilty of sharing privileged information.
