I idle at 5 x 1000 RPM. If all you have are excuses, I don't have time... or ears. I view American exceptionalism the same way I view religion and hate; no one is born believing it. They believe it because they were told as a captive audience.

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

China’s Direct Message To Donald Trump and The United States, “We Don’t Care!” youtu.be/H23D0o_yoNc

Hello? Congress? Anybody? WTAF?!

the fact of the matter is some people do not want to see black people in media and we all need to ignore them and continue to make black art because at the end of the day, they were never going to buy or support it either way.

The phenomenon of prominent Democrats not acting like they really believe American democracy is facing an existential crisis is starting to really upset Democratic voters, Big Law edition. ICYMI @lauren-egan.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/big-backla...

Why wasn’t this a bigger story? 🤔

Market manipulation is a CRIME. It's securities fraud. It undermines the integrity of financial markets. Call it pump-and-dump, insider trading, whatever you like. His immunity does NOT APPLY to criminal activity. And anyone in Congress that traded, can and should be prosecuted.

🚨 ⚠️ WELP ⚠️ 🚨 I think we know one of the reasons DOGE was infiltrating the federal payroll systems. Multiple sources are telling me that their union dues are no longer being deducted from their paychecks.

"Doomsayers like me worried that his 'retribution' mindset would lead him to sic gov't agencies on his...enemies and harass them whether or not they’re credibly suspected of wrongdoing. Well, here we are. It took less than three months." Krebs's offense: to call the 2020 election honest. [Catoggio]

The problem with forcing countries to create a new world without you is that once they've done so, they aren't going back

We didn't deport your family members, screw up your 401(k), or fire you from your job. So, why are you more angry at us for saying "we told you so" than you are at the felon? He's the one causing your grief, not us. Serious question. *sip*🔥☕️

Every state in the union should join Arizona and Michigan in helping their citizens report when they're experiencing problems with Social Security services.

Even in our darkest hours laughter remains a rebellion The humorless scolds demanding we discuss politics only in somber tones miss the point entirely Mockery of power is freedoms oldest tradition Fascists ban jokes for good reason comedy punctures pomposity better than any serious essay ever could

#GVerse via @calltoactivism.bsky.social "Stephanie Ruhle is one of the only voices in the media who tells it like it is and always speaks truth to power. I wish we had another 100 like her. Watch this video. It’s 100% truth."

If you want to win a trade war, you gotta have something to trade that other side wants. And we're in a trade war with the very people who make all the things WE want. You're not going to win that.

We are a pro-Michelle Wolf household. This joke made me nervous, to start, but our gurl didn’t let us down 😂🤣✊🏽

Reminder: Historically US students have protested for & against many things: Civil Rights, South African apartheid, the Viet Nam war. Protest is almost always against current gvmt policy. And once you outlaw one protest, ANYONE speaking out about ANYTHING can be disappeared. And that is UNAmerican.
