Sent an email off to Kelly. Please call or email, let’s get this thing passed.

10% across the board is in effect and most media just ignored that. Wild ass shit

Any Chicago housing ppl got takes on this?

This is from over 100 yrs ago. Class war bad, gov regulations bad, state socialism as boogie man, unrestricted capitalism will grant you “hardy manhood” Same fucking song for a century

This was excellent. I’m glad i watched because there was a lot of info that was new for me and I have it on hand to use for when I meet the haters in real life. Feel like we allies have to do the work of educating ourselves about the issue so we can be solid advocates when called upon.

You get to a point where you think you’ve got it figured out and then come to learn one of the greatest American poets was an insurance executive. Insurance executive. We know nothing.

Hello, um, Bernie stan coke fiend reporting for duty.

Finished listening after i posted and Edwards made a final and excellent point: they’re pushing tax cuts for unarticulated benefits, like they don’t even feel the need to justify a massive giveaway to the rich under the guise of trickle down or growing the economy or whatever. It’s wild.

I went through the transcript to find this because the points are so crucial: no coherence, if tariffs are about renegotiating then they’re not about on-shoring, and vice versa. And the image of the factory in 2125 w no one in it hits. This is the shit the msm should be pointing out hourly.

www.motherjones.com/politics/202... Important piece and I’m glad Maddow brought it to attention but why the incredulity that Marshalls would behave like this? They’re basically cops and cops are conservative. What’s it going to take for median lib to figure this out? I remember reading that comey

Anybody know how the sun times and trib covered it here? I didn’t see the papers on Sunday

You can complain about the demise of legacy media all you want but they partly did it to themselves. Look at this shit. One of the largest organized protests in the history of the country and nothing. Ppl “terminally online” have a better understanding of both the threat of Trump and the response

I saw the one of the headless child and I legit think I need therapy now. It was so fucked and I can’t unsee it.

And again a dem candidate for prez in ‘29 for damn fucking sure better give me a policy to address these fucking thugs. By address I mean at the very least terminate from gov employment.

This is terrifying. Glad Schiff called out the use of marshalls to intimidate witnesses but at some point we’re going to have to start calling out all the cops in all these agencies “just following orders”

Makes me thing of how Obama poo pooed ppl that wanted to home the Bush admin accountable for their many crimes. Meaning they committed many crimes and we just wanted them held accountable once. For any one thing. Not as punishment but as deterrence.

I was scheduled to give a talk on Palestine at a student conference at @notredame.bsky.social. The University rescinded my talk a week in advance citing an extremely flimsy excuse. It is truly disgusting. Attached is the letter I received and my reply, link below...

Yeah this right here. And it happens irl - you can’t state an appreciation for the aspirational tenets of communism because Stalin did something but like ibm and ford working with the Nazis never stained capitalism’s amoral drive towards “profits from anyone for anything” ideology

What is happening someone explain

The left made is so the bushes and trumps of the world get into any school they want no matter what . Also @thedigradio.bsky.social new episode is all about how unions purged their left flank and then worked w the gov to topple democratic elected govs so yes the left: powerless and always at fault

God damn white lotus is the most expertly produced piece of shit show I’ve ever watched. Like so prettily shot and so wonderfully acted and just an utter waste of time.

Hard second to this. “I’m fine with doing x to criminals but” Ima stop you right there. Prisons in America are torture. They serve no good purpose and effectively work as torture porn for the worst of us. We who have tacitly allowed that shit to continue teed this shit up.

In his defense that name goes British as fuck

you can go back a few decades and the data show that both billionaires and wage earners make more under a dem presidency. He knows this. What they wanted and got was labor disciple and defunding of police for rich/corporations. Of course the bull that wrecked labor is now wrecking you

It’s the rich against everybody and the technocrats and republicans gutting the gov to fund tax breaks for them are picking their side. First party to clearly state they are for everybody but the rich, that they will wipe billionaires out of existence, wins the game.

people lie all the time about their own motivations, but Dems inability to court someone like this is damning

This is scary because it means they’re not grifters, they actually believe their own nonsense.

Its at 241 now lol Slightly ticking up but I think that will correct before closing. Where it opens on Monday will be very interesting.

This should be great. Highly recommend subscribing to TAP, I do and they do a great job a breaking shit down without the slimy “trump says this is actually a good thing” caveats you get from WAPO and NYT.
