Today, local authorities confirmed the victims of the Stockton shooting were just 8, 9, 14, and 21 years old — and that the attack was likely targeted. Our hearts break for their families and the entire Stockton community.
America HATES its children. HATES them. We let them get slaughtered at schools, stores, and birthday parties. We think educating them wastes money that could go to deserving billionaires, instead of being an investment in our future. Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds even refused funds to FEED children. HATES

Just gonna keep banging this drum, at least all month. JVL adds some context to Scott's suggestion. We don't have to unsub from everything; just the ones we can. And we should sock away some of the money we save, to make a potential #GeneralStrike easier to ride out.

Every one of these whines about “warriors” having to endure education and interaction with civilian agencies boils down to this: When you factor in politics, strategy, philosophy, ethics, outcomes, etc. there’s no way to conclude that indulging my impulses is always right and that makes me feel bad.
It’s kinda funny how these guys really want safe spaces, sounds kinda woke if you ask me

Excellent brief clip. And what the interviewer says is right: party doesn't matter. The FBI ignored these tips from victims during the Clinton administration. NOW it's being covered up by the Trump regime, and the international cabal. This long crime spree needs to be uprooted ruthlessly.

If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''
On this day in 1921, Congress reluctantly accepted a sculpture memorializing women’s 19th A victory. Congress relegated the memorial to the Capitol’s crypt & painted over the feminist inscription. The statue stayed entombed in the crypt for 76 years. The inscription is still not restored. #WeTheMen

Alexei Navalny, gone two years now.
Putin should not still be in power. He should be in prison. And the Russian government/oligarchy should be too impoverished by sanctions to prosecute a war against Ukraine. We need to be harder on international criminals.

100%. Making someone a billionaire – in spite of the fact that we all think *we* would thrive with an extra hundred million or so – is an act of sadism, placing a burden on an individual that the human psyche, with rare exceptions, is not prepared to carry. AND it's not good for anyone else, either.
Wealth that insulates you from harm while you actively block relief for others isn’t success, it’s moral failure.

As an Irish and German American, I absolutely enthusiastically agree.
American culture of the 1840’s would have been *very fucking surprised* to see the Irish considered as co-founders.
Elon’s an ahistorical dipshit, but its always worth saying some stuff out loud: if you‘re a fellow Irish-American and you aren’t 100% pro-immigrant, you’re a fucking embarassment.

1/3 What Musk is really referring to here is, of course “race” - that construct that served to define the hierarchies of wealth & power structured by modern colonialism. Like other far right racists though, he uses the word “culture” as a seemingly less pernicious synonym.

NEW: For the second time in 2026, Kentucky state police have charged a woman with homicide after a pregnancy loss.
Both were criminalized after seeking medical care—one for a miscarriage and one for self-managed abortion—and face charges of abuse of a corpse and concealing a birth @autonomynews.co

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.
