Democratic socialist, doesn't like fascists or theocrats or tankies (obviously). But open to good faith discussions. Also talks about nerdy stuff like scifi and video games.

There have been 62 murders in DC in the past six months, including two dozen since Trump seized control of the city's policing. I found the names of 21 of the victims, killed since Trump's takeover, he ignores when he tells this lie: www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

The House passed a resolution condemning socialism. Okay.

When are they going to pass a resolution condemning fascism?

Want to know how bad Donald Trump is losing his trade war with China?

Last month, he said China will buy 12 million tons of US soybeans by January. China hasn’t even bought 1/10th of that amount yet.

Trump is getting played by China while American farmers pay the price.
CNBC: My understanding is the White House said that China was gonna buy 12 million tons of soybeans from the US by January. That's approaching and they've only purchased 332,000. China has not confirmed that pledge.

BROOKE ROLLINS: Your point is salient. We've got a significant way to go

The EPA is starting to allow the use of pesticides containing PFAS on food.

The move is part of an effort to roll back the regulation of what are called "forever chemicals" because they don't break down easily in the environment.

It’s notable that there’s practically no difference between what Elon Musk and MAGA influencers like Tim Pool post unironically and what Russian & Chinese bots trying to destabilize American democracy by posting divisive content do.

The "peace president."
Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with:

-No casus belli
-No authorization from Congress
-No allies or international support
-No plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela
-No preparation for any sort of stabilization or containment of the fallout

Broke: DOGE is dead

Woke: DOGE was specifically constructed in a way to avoid accountability partially by zombifying the USDS which still exists as an entity

Bespoke: Dead or not, there needs to be a blue ribbon committee and a massive internal cybersecurity review to root out all the damage.

In remote Alaska, public radio stations like KYUK provide lifesaving information during natural disasters.

But Trump cut funds for public media, and that could mean deadly consequences for the rural community.

The latest from @revealnews.org:
In rural America, public radio saves lives
In remote Alaska, public radio station KYUK is crucial during natural disasters. Without federal funding, how will it survive?
