Yep.
Meanwhile, the smart Black lady was gonna give out up to $25,000 in down payment assistance for first-time homebuyers. To borrow a phrase from @charlesgaba.com, all people had to do was check the box next to the smart Black lady's name.
Trump: "People that own their homes -- we're gonna keep them wealthy. We're gonna keep those prices up. We're not gonna destroy the value of their homes so that somebody who didn't work very hard can buy a home."

Wondering how to help thousands of miles away, I donated to a Minneapolis food shelf (or food pantry as we call them here). $15 feeds a person for a week, $75 feeds a family for a week, The Minnesota FoodShare Campaign matches donations, so my $75 will feed two families for a week.

HOW is this no longer big news? Are we still supposed to say the Nazi salute may not have been one?
Yesterday Elon Musk retweeted "white solidarity is the only way to survive". In our numb overwhelmed media environment it barely made headlines that the world's richest man endorsed blood-curdling white nationalism. My brief writeup for @religiondispatches.org

Elon Musk Just Endorsed Blatant White Nationalism And the Silence is Deafening
On Thursday morning Elon Musk retweeted (with a ‘100%’ endorsement) a post declaring that:

Tim Walz dropping out of the race for a third term is the direct result of Republican threats to kill his entire family after they had already murdered one of his state’s representative and her husband. — Anyone still believe both parties are the same?

That’s where the culture wars come in handy. Distract people with fear so that they tolerate the money grab from tax policies that favor the wealthy and deregulation of consumer protections.
America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth.
The bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth.
When 925 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Add "douche bag" to the list of words to use when you really don't support women even though you say you do.
I’m seeing waaaay too many “liberal” &/or “progressive” men on here leaning into using pejoratives like “Bitch”, “Pussy” & “Cunt” to go after MAGAts. My dudes-
KNOCK THIS THE FUCK OFF!
Just bc you’re fighting “for” women’s rights doesn’t give you permission to use sexist AF language.
Do better.

Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts?

As a former journalist, I support journalism. Today for the first time since I moved to Virginia almost 38 years ago, there was no Washington Post in my driveway. Nor was there one in my neighbor's. I wonder how many others hit the no more point with this week's announcement?

For whatever stupid political reasons, the Trump administration took down information about avian flu transmission from cats to people (and vice versa). There are 74M cats in the US. This is endangering public health.

I didn't even play an IRS agent on TV and I know what DOGE is doing is NOT audit.
As a retired IRS agent, I know what audits are. I understand the different types. This is NOT an audit. Auditors do not change code. They do not download all records. They do not lock people out of buildings, and refuse to give names, information, etc.
