The sort of twee person who thinks swearing is in any way a sign of a lack of education or a lack of verbal interest is just a fucking lunatic.

I'm sorry but it's just wild we are in the middle of a government shutdown and the House Republicans are REFUSING TO SHOW UP FOR WORK so they can protect billionaire pedophiles and billionaire tax breaks.

You know what fascism looks like? Attorney General Letitia James getting criminally indicted on literal trumped-up charges by the criminal who she fought to hold accountable for the actual crimes he committed and is now using the full power of the US govt to seek vengeance.

He even prides himself on his political ignorance, sticks out his chest and says he hates politics. He doesn't know, the imbecile, that from his political non-participation comes the prostitute, the abandoned child, the robber and, worst of all, corrupt officials." 2/2

Bertolt Brecht // "The worst illiterate is the political illiterate. He hears nothing, sees nothing, takes no part in political life. He doesn't seem to know that the cost of living, the price of beans, of flour, of rent, of medicines all depend on political decisions. 1/2

So, Tom Homan can straight accept a bag of $50K in cash from the FBI in a sting operation, have the investigation dismissed by this corrupt Justice Department, but all of Trump's critics somehow face indictments?

Cool, cool. Cool.

A desperate, weak Administration overplaying its hand.

The malicious prosecution of Attorney General Tish James is baseless.

And the indictment is not worth the paper it is written on.

It’s SHAMEFUL to watch US Senators vote NO on the War Powers resolution & give this administration a blank check to bomb whoever the hell they want. The current conduct in the Caribbean is unconstitutional and unacceptable!

Time and time again, these cowards bend the knee.

NEW STUDY

Since I was born, 500 Black neighborhoods have vanished

And 500,000 Black people have been lost

All due to urban revitalization projects

Like the one for LA’s new coliseum — for the Clippers and ‘26 Olympics — that’s destroying Inglewood

From Watts to D.C.: How 500 Black Neighborhoods Vanished in 45 Years

America’s gentrified neighborhoods have lost 500,000 Black people, while gaining residents of every other race, a study finds.
