apnews.com/article/colu... The kidnapping of this young man demonstrates the lawlessness of the current administration - pardoning violent criminals and arresting peaceful protesters.

When the history of this time is written down, the cowardice will be remembered as much as the fascism

Agreed. And in my opinion, Schumer’s charade makes him complicit.

Despicable how these schools, in particular Yale and Columbia, betray their students

🚨 Trump and Musk want to fire federal workers, gut public services, and hand our government to billionaires. We’re not letting that happen. 📢 Join us this Thursday at 8PM ET for a mass call to hear how we fight back—together.

🚨NEW FED STUDY: Credit card rates are being driven higher not because of risky borrowers, but because credit card giants use monopoly power to fleece you. Credit card companies now spend 10 TIMES more on ads than regular banks - all to create a monopoly.

A sane economic system would have started a serious transition to renewable energy 40 years ago.

Elon Musk wants to gut the Department of Education. This is not about efficiency, it is about dismantling public education and keeping power in the hands of the wealthy.

Now streaming: Monterey Bay’s sublime symphony of whale vocalizations! 🎵🐋 Spanning more octaves than a piano, humpback whales sing powerfully into the vast ocean. These songs are beautifully complex, weaving phrases and themes into masterful compositions.

It takes several months to complete the FAA Academy and two to four years of on-the-job training to become a certified air traffic controller, but don’t worry, the ones Elon’s DOGEbags want fired will be replaced with “geniuses from M.I.T.” So this is fine. Everything is fine.

Some good things are happening

DOGE wants to sell off the Postal Service and Amtrak. This will just result in higher prices, worse service, and rural communities being left behind. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

While Google’s cofounder is calling for a 60-hour workweek, a reminder that you shouldn’t even be working 40 hours per week. Every American could work 30-hour weeks and still live in a highly productive, dynamic economy. But Americans work longer hours to fuel corporate profits.

Cluelessly cruel

Trump and cohorts hard at work making dinner toxic again
