This is a channel I do not follow and have never knowingly watched. It’s on my YouTube home feed. It has no option to remove. Even if that were not enough for me to find and block the channel, it’s music, so painful to my tinnitus.

In which a conservative "influencer" admits that the only way you can survive in Mudhole, Iowa is thanks to government jobs and SNAP (because $25/h is not going to pay a mortgage and feed 7 kids).
1. Note that the girl in this pastoral fantasy is sort of a landscape feature, like Stinky’s, not autonomous.
2. Also I am 75% sure she’s not a nice girl, she’s awful, and also she’s dead and this is her Hell

Republicans believe in one man, one vote - as long as they get to choose the one man.
The US and multiple countries have what’s called A DEMOCRACY. America came into existence to escape a king. Why would we want another and one as completely ignorant to the people’s needs as this incompetent idiot? He’s in it for the grift and destruction. To hand us over to his rich oligarchs.

This is the Republican way. Find something good the government does, break it, point to the thing they broke as an example of why government doesn’t work, and shut it down.
Baldwin: Without that extension, people are seeing shocking increases in their premiums. I spoke with a small business owner in Milwaukee named Nancy. Nancy is a cancer survivor. She cannot afford to be without health care because she has special medical needs. But her premiums are tripling…

This. Part of the “war on terror” that has become an instrument of terror itself. CBP was bad enough. ICE is, and always has been, at its heart, weaponized institutional racism.
Just a reminder that ICE didn't exist until 2002. It's not some longstanding institution that must be maintained. It was created as a knee-jerk reaction to 9/11, and it could be gotten rid of as easily as it was created.

An excellent reminder that it’s not just oil billionaires who spend fortunes pushing climate change denial. Petrostates, especially Russia, whose economy depends on gas and oil, do too.
In unrelated news, Reform UK have an official line against net zero. Hardly any of them are Russian agents though.

Mark Rutte, Secretary General of NATO, warned yesterday that Europe faces war with Russia.
Yesterday, wind produced 60% of British electricity.
Every unit of clean domestic energy we produce makes us more secure.
That’s why our enemies fund anti-renewables propaganda.

Wait, Farage is a racist bully?
Who knew?
Who knew?
It’s not him being a teenage Nazi that’s the issue here: it’s that he’s still one now, he has been throughout and his politics are those of the racist, fascist far right. The difference between him and e.g. Griffin is that Farage knows where the line is and that he should push at it, not cross it.

Keep an eye on this. The sanctions are really hurting Russia.
💰SCOOP: Hungary is in advanced talks with Russia on a plan to bypass US sanctions on Serbia’s mostly Russian-owned NIS oil firm by having a Hungarian firm buy shares. My sources say this is foreign minister Péter Szijjártó’s main topic at today’s Moscow trip—just 11 days after Orbán's Kremlin visit.
