She pushed the bullshit that people were getting social security checks that were born 150 years ago. This is tin foil hat hysteria.

Speaker Mike Johnson just said he's completely fine with ICE agents shooting priests in the head with pepper balls and roughing up journalists.

I'm sure he'll tell us soon about how it's the Democrats who are waging a war on religion and free speech though.

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

americans have been learning about "no kings" via alternative media. social media, tiktok etc. we dont need the msm anymore and progressives should be investing billions in building up our own alternative information beachheads instead of constantly begging the dying msm to "do better"

This from the great @sulliview.bsky.social on the media's anemic (or non-) coverage of the massive No Kings movement is such a great point

"Sapiens" is so normal for the first 70,000 years of human history but then goes absolutely buckwild as soon as it gets to colonialism

Had the Aztecs and Incas shown a bit more interest in the world surrounding them - and had they known what the Spaniards had done to their neighbours - they might have resisted the Spanish conquest more keenly and successfully.

Yes, lack of curiosity, not a combination of smallpox, gunpowder, geographic disadvantages, and a shaky economy, was the real downfall of the Aztecs. Duh! Any white man could see that a mile away.

If they’d invented gunpowder, measles and smallpox inoculations, and water desalination they’d have done much much better in that conflict, clearly. All due, I think, to their lack of curiosity.

I mean, if democrats were more interested in the radicalization of their republican collegues, instead of behaving like they live in the 80's, and lot could probabaly have been prevented.

Wow. Equating "shown a bit more interest" with invading/warring.

Lmao WaPo has fewer than 100K circulation now. It turns out “alienate your liberal subscriber base” is not a good strategy when the Republicans also hate you. www.forbes.com/sites/andyme...

they're scared shitless of these protests because they rightfully understand that they're upstream of events that may result in them hanging upside down from their feet

Please be conscious if you protest this weekend that there are feds at the protest. They look like you and they sound like you, not like Steve Buscemi in that one clip with the skateboard. Thinking you can spot them is self delusion. Nobody you haven’t met needs to know your last name.
