BILL BURR: “If someone’s working 160 hours a month and can’t make their rent, you’re not paying them enough. Maybe you should just be worth $900,000,000… How does a CEO take a f*cking 8 figure bonus and none of your employees have dental insurance?”

ProPublica spoke to about 150 people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.”
We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words.

Finding myself really grateful for having the capacity to feel gratitude. For being alive... being able to witness this moment in history of evolution and awakening consciousness... seeing love everywhere despite its contrast in leadership right now.

Read this. A real American.
I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.
If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

Genuine question: has any GOP member of house or senate spoken out about the Dept of defense and Hegseth threatening sen Mark Kelly with lawfare? Beyond disturbing
Especially any veterans?
Shame on all those who stay silent

I keep thinking about how much of what we interface with as "Trump" online is actually him vs being that of Stephen Miller and the actors around him.
These make a lot more sense when you consider the person writing them feels shielded from true identity exposure and social consequence.
