We’ve all trained ourselves to see car infrastructure as “normal” — and therefore its costs as invisible. Roads aren’t expensive, they’re just there. Parking spaces aren’t subsidies, they’re just “necessary”.

But a bus that runs on demand?
That’s

“spending taxpayer money”.
Here are my thoughts for all of you who are tired of hearing people tell them that alternative forms of transportation are “expensive”—while billions are poured into the car system.
For decades.

It's a framing game.
Devoid of content.
Fact-averse.

But successful.

“All laws are good! If genocide is legal, then genocide is good! If child torture is legal, then why aren’t we torturing more of them?! I am a GENIUS!” Aren’t they cute when they pretend to care about “brown people”?

Hundreds of masked ICE agents descended on a community event in Idaho, violently arresting children and their families at gunpoint.

We're suing the Trump administration and 4 local police agencies for abusing criminal warrants to carry out unconstitutional immigration raids.
ACLU's lawsuit over ICE raid at an Idaho racetrack could be a game changer
The filing aims to hold rogue federal agents accountable by linking them to a conspiracy.

A confidential document shows that Trump’s DOJ plans to analyze states’ voter files and then instruct the states to remove specific voters. But the federal government has neither the legal authority nor expertise to correctly add and remove voters from the rolls. bit.ly/46tX4nd
“Confidential” Agreements Show Trump Administration’s Plans for States’ Voter Data 
At least 10 states have handed over their full voter files to the Justice Department.

Living in huge amounts of consumer debt is literal survival for many people but also is completely relied on by the capitalist class for their system to work at all.
It can simultaneously be true that sections of the working class in the United States budget like crazy and that other sections cope with the lack of extra funds by not caring at all, getting into large amounts of debt, gambling, not paying attention etc

According to Michael Wolff, Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein once treated Princess Diana like a competition, who could “win” her first.

Not admiration. Not respect. A race.

Diana reportedly said Trump gave her “the creeps.”
