So you get rid of all the migrants, then what?
You really think the government is gonna magically fix your public services? Your landlord is gonna stop ripping you off? Your boss is gonna pay you a fair wage? You live in capitalism & you're really mad at the people at the bottom?

We need a recall process at the federal level. "Three and a half more years of this" NO! That's too long. Let's recall and try again. All of 'em.

Has anyone considered suing the companies providing the weapons being misused to bring this to the fore?

Do we have a current number of all the people who have been kidnapped by ICE and sent to an unrelated third country? Where are people being sent? How many have disappeared? Where is this being tracked?

Tldr: A farm bailout is just another bank bailout

Jess Piper @piperformissouri.bsky.social · 1d

I feel like a broken record, but I have to keep saying it over and over again: a farmer bailout won’t do much of anything because the market is gone. There will be no incentive to plant next year.

The bailout will help payoff farmer debt to the banks. That’s all.

Pope Leo is spitting.

www.npr.org/2025/10/09/n...

Leo questioned a world where the wealth of the elite grows
"exponentially" while many "millions of people die of hunger or survive in conditions unfit for human beings." He also criticized "ideologies that defend the absolute autonomy of the marketplace and financial speculation,"
with false promises "that a free-market economy will automatically solve the problem of poverty."

Leo described a "new tyranny," which shuns any kind of oversight and where the economy is structured "in such a way that sacrifices are demanded of the masses in order to serve the needs of the powerful." The poor, he wrote, are only allowed "drops that trickle down."

The pope openly challenged "prosperity theology" and called Christians to the practice of giving charity. "It will not solve the problem of world poverty, yet it must still be carried out, with intelligence, diligence and social responsibility," he wrote.

Popular movements that challenge "the empire of money," invite people to take on the cause to combat poverty alongside the poor, instead of on their behalf, and "make history," the pope said. It our duty, Leo said, to "make their voices heard, albeit in different ways, in order to point out and denounce such structural issues, even at the cost of appearing foolish or naïve."

Port Washington, WI folks: don't give a single vote to a single seated Common Council member. They made a deal for a massive AI data center without properly considering the public's opinion. They just said the deal is ongoing and nothing you say can change that.

Wrong. The people must prevail!

I don't even bother 'playing' or 'practicing' with ChatGPT and hate that work is pushing Co-Pilot on us. Draining a lake, using a city's worth of electricity, just for the pleasure of no more critical thinking? No thanks.

“I voted for none of this."

Prominent influencers, including Theo Von, Joe Rogan, and Andrew Schulz, are starting to distance themselves from the president they helped propel to the White House.
