Now even "pro-vaccine groups" are getting the "critics said" treatment, like they're just another interest group. It wasn't that long ago that Jenny McCarthy was booted from being a C-List celebrity because of her anti-vaccine stance!

Remember this iconic photo from Ferguson? This is Edward Crawford, throwing back a tear gas canister to protect some nearby kids. Like many identified Ferguson protesters and organizers, he was "found dead" a couple years later and neither the cops nor the media will ever investigate.

There is no bigger story right now than the White House asserting that California residents are in a state "of rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States."

Cannot stress enough that this is a pitiful action by a weak, scared, pathetic group of insecure, wannabe authoritarians, and they should be mocked until the end of time for wanting to bring in the military over some people protesting them at a Home Depot.

I’ve said it before but it is embarrassing that so many intellectuals spent years in small factional battles over the propriety of calling this fascism.

Banks are aiming to issue cryptocurrency. Lawmakers just put a line in the GENIUS Act saying when a bank issuing crypto goes bankrupt, crypto investors get paid before regular depositors. In other words: your savings account becomes crypto’s bailout fund. www.levernews.com/cryptos-new-...

Trump's a sundowning dementia sufferer, posting rage filled, incoherent and conspiratorial tweets deep into the night. Trump's angry rants are also announcements of U.S. government policy, making Trump's deteriorating medical condition an unreported national emergency, as @playtyperguy.com explains.

Jonathan Joss was Comanche and Apache and an openly gay actor. He was murdered while looking at the remains of his dogs at his own house that was burnt down. The killer yelled homophobic slurs before shooting him. This is the real world consequences of the hatred that the right commodifies

Standing up for the silent majority of voters who celebrate and treasure their right as Americans to owe $11,000 for getting rushed to the hospital on one of the worst days of their lives. It's called "being moderate" and it's how you win elections.

The Constitution does not give the President the power to order around state law enforcement this way, and Supreme Court precedent makes clear that feds also cannot use funding leverage to commandeer the states, even if Congress explicitly consents to that, which it has not done here.
