Tomorrow, Minnesota will demonstrate that it is incapable of defending its democracy from the onslaught of organized money. The vote on the SAVE Act will be another dead canary in the coal mine. Soon we will all be slaves to the dregs of the super-wealthy.

Democrats will never have power again. The GOP will gain seats in every election at every level in 2026. Organized Money will make sure of it, and the conspiracy of arsonists they bought to fill up government will stop at nothing to ensure permanent Republican hegemony.

"When capitalism falls into crisis... its profound flaws generate popular fury... People are right to be enraged, but that anger is being redirected at all the wrong targets. Faith in democracy is crumbling because of a failed economic system" Dumb people have been fooled into surrendering. RIP USA

Jeff Bezos' captive newspaper (WaPo) refused to publish this cartoon. John Roberts decided that money is speech, and that means only money speaks, and only money can speak.

Under the imperial priesthood of John Roberts and his Federalist co-conspirators, the Constitution is "settled precedent"... until it's not.

A complaint I have about Windows 11 is that Microsoft took the dumbest user's UX preferences and forced them all on me. Every time I open a new part of the OS, I'm confronted with a fresh horror show of incredibly dumb things, half of which cannot be disabled. What shithead did they make this for?

📌I'm a Navy vet, and was the Managing Editor of Stars & Stripes, the editorially independent newspaper that covers the troops and their families overseas. 📌I wish to GOD I never had to write this, but you REALLY need to read it. (And if you are asking what to do, share it. Information is POWER.)

I have a sports metaphor story for this! I have a younger brother who was a very competitive baseball player as a kid. Was on all the local travel & developmental squads. One of his coaches had a very interesting and counterintuitive (to me) philosophy of the game, as it was played at that level.

This is a very dangerous path to go down If the public accepts this hacker's unverified materials, that opens the door to accept whatever future hackers provide And now that Trumpputin will be in power, most of the best-resourced hackers will be working to help villains destroy democracy

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election. Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control
