The mainstream media is not just consolidating it is purging. Why? A singular story of the oligarchs must be told and enforced as the only truth available to us on those or rather their planforms.

The people trying to destroy our democracy don't want a strong economy. They want a command economy. They don't care if the vast majority of the peasantry is in misery, as long as they, personally, can have all the money and power.

Attn Pennsylvania voters: Reports are coming in of signs near polling places reading “No Kings, No Retention” with a crown-slash logo. These signs are fake and misleading, part of a disinformation push. In Pennsylvania, you should vote YES to retain the Supreme Court justices on the ballot.

They’re counting on you to sit this one out. Don’t give them what they want.

Get loud with your ballot. Drop it off today or hit the polls tomorrow ASAP.

I'm sure he knows that they don't. He also knows that his base doesn't understand the difference, so that's what he's playing to.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Thanks so much to Chase Strangio for recommending LAWLESS: How SCOTUS Runs on Conservative Grievance, Fringe Theories, & Bad Vibes in Cultured's story about reading to get through this political mayhem!!

Sketch of Chase Strangio; Lawless by Leah Litman
Recommended by Chase Strangio, Co-Director of the ACLU’s LGBT & HIV Project

“One book that I keep coming back to is a recent release from Leah Litman called Lawless: How the Supreme Court Runs on Conservative Grievance, Fringe Theories, and Bad Vibes. Leah helpfully and accessibly walks the reader through the Supreme Court’s role in empowering the Trump administration, exacerbating deeply inequitable legal and material conditions, and abandoning bedrock norms, all of which have opened the door to the present rise in fascist leadership. I would also recommend people listen to Leah’s podcast with Kate Shaw and Melissa Murray, called Strict Scrutiny, as a helpful companion to the book.”

They'd rather the lobster be left to rot than let poor people get to eat an enjoyable protein source.

There have been times when the lobster harvest in Maine was so large that there was a huge surplus, putting the cost of lobster below the crappiest ground chuck. And republicans still complained that people bought lobster with the SNAP benefits.

Keeping some poor kid with a sore throat from receiving the 0.000000000001¢ that comprises your share of their popsicle makes Ebenezer Scrooge look like the most generous human to have ever lived.

Just a quick FYI - Monday and Tuesday’s Black History posts will be available later today.

I have to work a ton of overtime this week, so I’d rather get them out earlier than later.

I’ll do the same thing on Wednesday and post Thursday and Friday’s then.

New in our house, and it's working great: When anyone says "6-7", they get to decide on either 6 hours in their room with internet devices blocked at the router or 7 additional chores.

This is a Pogrom of eliminating no-whites across the country. They racially profile their targets and/or arrest everyone then sort them out later.
This isn't law enforcement it is Terrorism.
Trump is a goddamn terrorist and ICE and his Administration is a Terrorist organization.

We'll need to check the date of approvals before taking new medicines.
Politics (& money) continue to over rule science.

Even people MAGA enough to get appointed are complaining.

I'm not sure the most MAGA folks signed up for having improperly reviewed drugs.

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP

You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670

Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem

If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy?

You’re doing their dirty work.
