The only way we are going to beat fascism is enough people break out of the hologrammatic silicon prison that has been constructed around them out of algorithms and hypermedia

Trumps answer: "look..look..what network do you work for? ABC...that it explains it...that is such a nasty question...do you know that ABC had to pay me $17 million dollars in a lawsuit that I won?

Someone should just randomly name 3 common grocery store items and ask Trump how much they cost.

I can't help but wonder what Congress would do if Trump gave Putin Tomahawks with the premise of ending the war sooner. He basically said Russia deserves everything they stole by criticizing our own country for leaving Iraq..particularly without their oil.

Hundreds of new homes for veterans are coming to California through voter-approved Prop 1 funding.

707 permanent supportive homes — including 231 for veterans — will be built across the state through the Homekey+ program.

California stands with those who’ve served our country.

It was not on my 2025 bingo card to see an Ocean’s Eleven–level jewelry heist at the Louvre. The rest of us are watching the economy collapse, but apparently someone’s already turned their “disaster planning fund” into a full-on retirement strategy.

When this story broke earlier today Republicans claimed it was probably fake news since it was reported by the NYT. Now multiple media outlets have confirmed it, including Fox. Hegseth and Vance are complete morons for pulling this dumb stunt.

Maga won't change anytime soon. The Dems need a platform that brings apathetic voters to the polls and this time it may be even harder because of voter suppression. The hate is strong in Maga world.

The only thing Trump is good at is exploiting people's hate,fear and prejudices and that's comes natural to him because he has the same tendencies. He doesn't know a fucking thing about anything else and repeats the same worn out tropes over and over. Never details on anything.

If someone wrote a script for a movie ten years ago with events we are living through now, no one would have produced it...claiming it was too unrealistic. I'm still not sure it's reality.

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024.

Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay.

The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year.

Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M

See the problem?

Wikipedia's pages on Christianity are some of the most astonishingly blatant pieces of propaganda I've ever come across, regularly citing social darwinists to claim that Christianity didn't violently convert people.

Of all the people CNN could’ve platformed to tell a personal redemption story, they chose the least authentic and deserving person in America for their dwindling audience.
