$200 million taxpayer dollars spent on “tell me I’m pretty” ads to stroke his own ego, while he fires people to “save money.” Sociopathic.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

What are we building here? What are we growing and fostering? Where is the beauty? If the richest and most powerful men on earth burn it all down, what are we left with? Hurting others, destroying, pulling down, it all leads to nothing. Why do so many choose this path?

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind? It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP. It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

Immigrants make this country better. They contribute to economic growth, productivity and job creation. They pay taxes, promote cultural diversity & bring innovation and occupational specialization to the workforce. Keep the immigrants and deport the racists!

The new Macklemore video everyone’s talking about. You might think it’s about Palestine, but it’s bigger than that. It’s about social media controlling what we see, hear, and think. It’s a call to action. Whew… “fucked up.” youtu.be/sn9EKC9nqU4?...

Even worse incompetence: they accidentally fired, then apparently today un-fired, hundreds of the people who manage America's nuclear weapons.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

1. So he has no fucking idea why they met or what they talked about. 2. Obviously Trump thinks it’s no big deal to use the WH to conduct private business transactions since that’s what he does. America First! bsky.app/profile/atru...

Musk’s supporters believe that, through tech wizardry and sheer willpower, he’s slashing the federal deficit in a way that has eluded politicians for years. But this narrative has a glaring flaw: The Economist’s review of official data shows that his efforts have scarcely made a dent in spending.
