Proud member of the “woke mob”. Proudly mixed. Not a member of any imaginary antifa organization. Loves fantasy, movies about people in space, fighting fascism, long walks on the beach, reality and facts. Not a "tolerant" liberal.

Call me crazy, but I'm not certain Trump's treasury secretary repeating "No kings means no paychecks!" like a mantra plays the way he thinks it does

"And yet Táíwò’s own position misses something fundamental about the world we now inhabit. Shame does not operate in a vacuum...today, the sturdy ground that once formed shame’s foundation has collapsed."

Trump and Bessent clarify that they will only help out Argentina as long as Milei is in power. Trump adds that the same thing goes with NYC, where the White House will hold up funds if Mamdani wins.

The new CEO of the #IRS is also the commissioner of #SocialSecurity.I guess that neither job needs a full time person or staffing for that matter. LOCK YOUR CREDIT at all three agencies. You can not trust this administration to protect your data (and it's already been compromised over and over)

The Israel-Gaza peace agreement lasted for what, 24 hours? Still very relieved and glad that the hostages were released, and I don't know anyone who isn't.

I read fast so was able to skim this ppv article lecturing organizers on how to best organize next Saturday's event...proving that there is no central organization behind the protests...that the organizing is grass roots, disorganized and chaotic but there will be marshals there to keep you in line.

I think that @aaronparnas.bsky.social has the best youtube channel because he just straight reports news and doesn't fill space with talking heads which my ADHD brain prefers. Just give it to me straight but maybe add in a slight pause between stories.

The article ends with the proud boy member walking back the talk about signing members up for ICE and working to recruit more members to join up. “Oh, we are just trolling. Most of what we do is troll” (paraphrasing here).
That’s right up there with Trump’s I’m just joking BS.

They aren’t trolling
