Trump is really about to roll out Operation Ajax 2.0 with Venezuela to go after oil and postpone the 2026 midterms...wild stuff.

When trying to put together why we are heading towards an even more surveillance state, I hear things like this out of Scott Galloway’s mouth and am forced to remember some boomers, some capitalists, never cared what they gave up for “progress” and the chance to get rich with shareholders.

Or that was their plan all along.

I wonder if the SCOTUS stooges: Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett read, "I told him I think he is making a mistake, because we can do it much faster, and remove the criminals that the Law does not permit him to remove" and thought, yeah we fucked up.

Word. Sounds like terrifying plan. Looking forward to the weekend or total nuclear annihilation. Cheers.

It's always nice to see the president using federal disaster relief funds to try to boost his poll numbers.

He does nothing for anyone else but himself and his bottom line.

So is Trump going to deport Amazon's future robot army or...?

Trump's whole presidency and life have really just been this infamous Dave Chappelle joke over and over again, but it’s much darker and ultimately about white privilege, and we’re probably headed towards some major societal collapse where a lot of people are going to get hurt.

Something needs to change in American politics and the moneyed interests corporations have on our politicians. Everything else feels like noise they create to keep us from talking, coming together, and making change.
