Ohio voters have been clear that they want fair maps—and they’ve called on their legislators to do the right thing. As Ohio gears up to redraw their congressional map, we discuss what you need to know on this week’s episode of Drawing the Line: bit.ly/3XWnkmd

Trumpers suddenly don’t give a damn about the cost of eggs, the Stock Market crashing, or losing their health insurance. That’s how indoctrinated into a cult of stupidity they are now.

They are obviously slow learners

Autism didn’t make them do it. Mental illness didn’t, either. This personal piece from The Big Picture cuts through the excuses and names the real issue: some people are just hateful, and we need to stop giving them cover.

Number of people who go bankrupt every year because of medical bills or illness-related work loss: Australia 0 Canada 0 Denmark 0 Finland 0 France 0 Germany 0 Iceland 0 Ireland 0 Italy 0 Japan 0 Netherlands 0 Norway 0 Portugal 0 Spain 0 Sweden 0 UK 0 United States 530,000 There’s a lesson there.

Who should pay for healthcare?

Ambassador Spock modeling the proper “fuck you, make me” response to intimidation tactics. Our current-day institutions could learn a lot from him.

The 10% tariff alone is a $2500 per household annual tax hike!

Tariffs? Out of control. Prices? Skyrocketing. Emergency powers? He’s abusing them. And yet… not a single question about whether he’s even fit to serve. The math ain’t mathing.

Even for MAGA, this is fucking NUTS.

I guess we’re about to find out how the military really feels about their neighbors. Are neighbors really willing to physically attack each other? This all seems so unnecessary. It’s actually manufactured. That’s the crazy part. 1/

The men my age seem to be hypnotized. Maybe it was one of the video games from the 80s.

Who could’ve ever foresaw except all the people who did and got arrested for doing so

The top five egg producers own roughly half of all U.S. laying hens. The biggest of those corporations is Cal-Maine, which just announced quarterly profits of $509 million — more than 3x what it made a year ago. Corporate concentration + bird flu = a price-hiking free for all.

Enough said.

The insiders seem to have had a 20min warning before the public

I feel like crashing the bond market was a feature, not a bug. I feel like the goal is to destabilize the dollar as a reserve currency and replace it with Bitcoin.

I mean, why is this not obvious to everyone? All these articles and analysis of his ‘tariff moves’. Give me a break! It’s a forced fire sale. Geez people.

He truly knows how to communicate in a non-confrontational, fully digestible way. He’s a nervous-system salve. I tend to yell, cackle and generally behave like a screaming banshee. We all play our part.

The cynical, pattern-recognizing part of me sees these moves as Big Ag’s thumb on the scale to recapture whatever percentage of business they had lost to small farms. Here’s the thing. We need BOTH Big Ag and small, local farms. Why can’t we have both? Why can’t we have the best of all worlds?

“Everything which belongs to the body is a stream, and what belongs to the soul is a dream and vapor.” - Marcus Aurelius

What makes this visual even more stunning is that it was made possible by people who said their #1 concern when voting was the economy. What idiots.

This is accurate. Millions globally and across every single state. 1,300 community protests. From hundreds to hundreds of thousands. We want MAGAs to gets their grubby hands off our democracy. And we want Dems to find their spines. And we're just getting started (again).
