The Shining City on a Hill has turned into a steaming pile of shit.

My hometown paper ☕️💅🏽

Opinion | American leftists have become a bunch of radical Marxist-Leninists. Here’s why I support Trump’s five-year plan for the economy.

The crazy thing is that the last 5 months or so will all have been just a prelude to the main event if a sovereign debt crisis or a currency crisis is triggered by all this. Americans don’t understand the privilege that comes with being the world’s reserve currency and the petrodollar. FAFO though

Your tariff rate is your star sign divided by the number of boys you've kissed, multiplied by one

Your friendly local international political economics professors may need a moment this morning. (I mean, @dandrezner.bsky.social is right) substack.com/home/post/p-...

thank you donald trump for your diligent work as you make the US a stagnant, backwater pariah state and playground for sociopathic tech oligarchs

Once thing we can say for certain is that Donald Trump has been convicted of more crimes than some of the people he is deporting to a black hole in el salvador with no due process or recourse www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

let’s see who has the unfortunate task of ringing the opening bell tomorrow … ah perfect

I can’t compete with this

We simply had to intentionally destroy the world’s strongest economy while dismantling our scientific and educational infrastructure to ensure that a team with a trans girl would never finish second place in the Mountain West volleyball standings again

lobsters watching the news: ok yeah we're out

the CDC now recommends getting an aquarium and growing your own leeches

Again.

He fell down in the market-place, and foam’d at mouth, and was speechless.

This, from Timothy Snyder, is definitive, on Greenland open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

In MAGA world an empty building catching fire is "violence" but ripping apart families and throwing innocent people into corporate concentration camps is business as usual. Makes you wonder.

as a Centrist I'm proudly paid by Elon Musk to vote certain ways and by yet other shadowy forces to protest him. I've used the funds to buy Teslas that spontaneously immolate themselves, no arson needed. its whats called a "net zero" impact. the rest goes into my retirement crypto

And yet Joe Rogan puts guests on who say "Vaccines aren't actually responsible for the reduction in infectious diseases.”

🇺🇦 Zelensky: Three years ago, our warriors liberated Bucha from the Russian occupiers. And the world saw what the Russian occupation truly is: people killed in the streets, people tortured, graves in the yards. Ukraine is fighting for the lives of its people.

Shout out to Jeffrey Goldberg for reporting on this now instead of waiting two years to put it in a book.

MAGAts are out here defending musk saying the judge who denied DOGE access to sensitive info at the treasury "was not elected nor was he given the mandate by the people." Irony is DEAD!

I know it’s obvious and everyone has pointed this out but the richest man in the world is giving out million dollar checks to buy an election and also going “watch out: there’s a rich guy trying to influence this election!”

I have said since Trump starting laying the groundwork for the Big Lie in the first part of 2020 that he would not leave office willingly. I have been correct so far. And I'm telling you again he will not leave office willingly. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Among the appalling 'compliance in advance' is the business community pretending it's normal for economic policy to be a game show with sudden arbitrary twists. Will he or won't he? So exciting! Very savvy, definitely not a demented old man getting revenge on everyone by toying with livelihoods.

You could have picked a random booth at Cracker Barrel and come up with a better group of leaders.

🚨This. Is. How. You. Do. It. 🚨

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

WHATEVER THEY'RE PAYING THE ASSASSIN'S CREED SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER ITS NOT ENOUGH

Hear, Hear! @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social and @jvl.bsky.social lay out the hypocrisy, stupidity, and criminality:

This seems like a good time to remind folks of what Hannah Arendt once wrote:

Thank you @petebuttigieg.bsky.social

ICYMI: DOGE signed an agreement with Louis DeJoy to slash 10,000 jobs from the already-understaffed USPS. The USPS is the nation’s lifeline, ensuring delivery to every corner of the country. We cannot allow it to be dismantled, sold off, and handed over to billionaires for profit.

Women are so emotional they can't do anything but the drunk white guy in charge is so triggered by then he has to erase them, seems pretty emotional to me

Thread:

Ossoff: It was reported that dinner with the President is on sale for $5 million. The whole family is cashing in. Don Jr. is setting up a new business empire. Jared’s investment firm got $2 billion from the Saudi Royal Family. Like Hunter Biden should’ve been more ambitious

*tracking delivery of a new sail for my boat* “That sail has shipped.”

I'm starting to understand how the Roman Senate continued holding regular meetings until 603 AD
