I'm just an IT support grunt in the trenches. I don't know a quibit from Harry Quebert. However, my BS detector is as finally tuned as the Hadron collider. And it's beeping really fast. This is DARPA's $200 hammer, of today. #corruption news.microsoft.com/source/featu...

Republicans in Congress are running scared. They can't answer questions about their God King, because they can't justify what he's doing. Pleading ignorance of everything that's happened in the last 2 months isn't a good look for your constituents. wisconsinexaminer.com/2025/02/21/r...

Here, the MI Chamber of Commerce basically admits that it controls the state legislature through the GOP. In blue states, the state CoC owns the Democrats. This is how the country is and always has been run. Unless you vote with million$, it's meaningless. www.michamber.com/news/breakin...

The far-right values law and order above all else. Laws simply don't apply to sectarian gangs. If they did, there would be a limit to what they would be willing to do in the name of fascism. Trump is letting them know he's got their back. www.npr.org/2025/02/20/n...

There ain't no League and there ain't no Justice. I don't deal in political violence, so Imma bust this Rhyme on your timeline, ain't ready for eardrums Can you feel the wind shifting? That real charge it will come #phonedrop

What about the aquifer? Neither the GOP nor Mosaic cares. And yes, it will ruin groundwater for at least a 10 mile radius. Possibly much more www.tampabay.com/news/environ...

This is a hate crime, committed by a deranged individual who has no business with a firearm. The #ADL is not pushing for hate crime charges, the Islamic Council is There were no Muslims involved. Really think about that. www.timesofisrael.com/jewish-flori...

The word "assassination" has no legal definition. That means it's just a simple murder. There is no court determining who is assassinated, and who is merely murdered. Therefore the word has no legitimate meaning. Murder is murder is murder. Unless the govt does it. apnews.com/article/gay-...

The EU really doesn't understand: they can fight Putin now, in Ukraine or in Poland 2 years from now. Then Romania, and then, like Hitler: France. They didn't understand that his natural gas isn't so cheap, once you offset the cost of war. I knew that years ago. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I'm a socialist, whose father was involved in organizing unions in factories. I am tired of the public sector unions. Police are the worst, but even the teachers and firefighters ask for more money and less accountability each year. It's not sustainable. apnews.com/article/utah...

The media has certainly fixated on the "emaciated" hostages. I guess Israel shouldn't have blockaded the Palestinians from getting food supplies, huh? It's well known that Israel tortures Palestinian prisoners. POWs get starved and tortured. Always have, always will apnews.com/article/isra...

As a child of the Reagan era, if you had told me that a drug addled, Neo-Nazi from South Africa would ever be the darling of the GOP, I would have looked you straight in the eyes and told you to get help. In all sincerity.

The POTUS has clearly given the green light for corruption. And you had better believe officials across the country are revving their engines/bank accounts! apnews.com/article/new-...

Of course they do. And the EU is still sleepwalking into WW III. We're either going to see actual democracy overcome capitalist hegemony, or a return to something like feudalism. But only after the war. www.politico.eu/article/alte...

"Jesus’s fundamental message is that *everyone* is your neighbor, and that it is not about helping just your family or those closest to you. It’s specifically about helping those who seem different, foreign, other. They are all our ‘neighbors.’" #PapalSmackdown newrepublic.com/post/191401/...

Google is pretending they can't maintain a calendar with different dates in different countries. That is laughable. The truth is, they only care about making money, and are changing tack as the political winds shift. Like all corporations right now. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Bottom line: free trade, globalization screwed the working class nearly to death. Until Trump, both parties shrugged and told us life is tough. I didn't vote for the man and do not support MAGA, or taxing all imports. I support his China tariffs 100% www.npr.org/2025/02/11/g...

What you should know is that nothing processed in a factory is safe anymore. These constant recalls didn't happen even 5 years ago. Consolidation, and the starvation of regulatory agencies by Wall St. have created this world. #LateStageCapitalism www.eatingwell.com/costco-trade...

Every American has a right to be pissed off about the way this country's been run for the entirety of our lives. The correct group of people be pissed off at, are the ones in all the capitals, doing all the evil shit. And some of those people are immigrants. But they all have documentation.

The federal government promised it would reimburse farmers for millions in infrastructure investments, but Trump's funding freeze just left farmers on the hook. And if Trump's tariffs go through, farmers will be in even more dire straits. A "new Golden Age" for whom?

What's interesting, is that there appear to be thousands of legit, Nazis on Twitter. What is the difference between them and Ye? thehill.com/policy/techn...

“The individual will (be) banned for life from all NFL stadiums and events,” Ever wondered why sports is a flag waving, nationalist rally from HS to the pros? It's used to condition bodies and minds for war. In the religion of flag-worship, sports are the temple. apnews.com/article/supe...

The answer is the same in Germany, France, Britain, the U.S. and Australia: ruling-class elites offshored as many jobs as possible, and allowed enough economic migration to take what unskilled jobs they couldn't export. Thus, planting the seeds of fascism. www.bbc.com/news/article...

"The protest, while very offensive, was not unlawful," reads a press release from Evendale police. Hanging banners from a freeway overpass, that could come loose and cause a high-speed wreck is not unlawful? Or does the police chief agree with the Nazis? #MAGAnazis www.wcpo.com/news/local-n...

They may hate #DEI, but the right-wing loves nepotism! For all their talk of draining the swamp, they sure do seem to love having the same old mossback reptiles running the show. To me, it looks like a great way for Ron to make an end run around term limits. www.nbcnews.com/politics/ele...

I love it when "experts" say things that are common sense to any lucid adult. I honestly think that contributing to the widespread dismissal of expertise. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

If Trump and his fascist handlers had plans to dismantle the CIA ahead of the election, they were wise to keep that to themselves. It's a dangerous world for anyone in the Oval Office who threatens the Military Industrial Complex. The last ones were named kennedy.

Having mixed feelings about Trump taking a hammer to the #CIA On the one hand, they have murdered an American president, a presidential candidate, and been the primary instrument of American imperialist adventures overseas. On the other hand, it's a scary time to have the intel community axed.

Paralegals can now join factory workers and toll booth attendants in the pantheon of jobs that were killed by automation. The bleeding is going to continue. It's going to start taking low level college degrees along with the unskilled. www.theverge.com/news/605741/...

That's clearly what the Israelis are doing. It's called ethnic cleansing. One can't help but wonder: Did Trump hear that from his Zionist contacts? And how long ago? Does the cleansing plan predate the conflict. That would be my guess. www.reuters.com/world/palest...

As the sponsor of a genocidal terror-state, the US has no business on the council. Neither does China, Russia, France or Germany. Every one either murders civilians, or provides the ammo and logistics for doing so. There are no Good Guy empires. www.npr.org/2025/02/03/n...

"The ultimate evolution of capitalism, is fascism" ~Marx Sen. Hawley is the most natural fascist in the world; one who worships at the altar of greed and violence. Unfortunately for the nationalists, we can't decouple from China at this point. www.404media.co/senator-hawl...
