That whole “Minnesota fraud” scandal is a completely made up racist lie and the media is eating it up and presenting it as if it’s a genuine scandal. I’m going to lose my mind

The wealthy are always so GD worried some poor people are gonna commit some small time fraud. Meanwhile, big corporations are committing HUGE afraid. Just look at defense contractors.
Why? Because we have all been taught to see the wealthy as virtuous and to see the poor as lazy and unworthy.

The "frigidity of rugged individualism" (great phrase) also masks that those who preach this gospel are neither rugged nor - through connections, corporate government handouts or nepo connections - "individualists." They are "collectivists" for a decaying ruling class.

Snapshot: A Deeply Appalling Press Conference
It's worse than I thought. Trump plans to "run" Venezuela and does not pretend he cares about anything beyond taking the oil.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.
It’s about oil and regime change.
And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

As a Ukrainian, if you ever cared about Russia's fascist illegal, illegitimate and unjust invasion of Ukraine, you should absolutely care about US's fascist illegal, illegitimate and unjust invasion of Venezuela. My solidarity and best wishes to all Venezuelans.

Trump was elected over a year ago, promising to end the Ukraine war in 24h.
Ukraine accepted his ceasefire proposals; Russia rejected them. Yet he pressures Ukraine more than Russia.
Most Americans support Ukraine, yet he goes against their will because he is compromised

Oh. Crime was at a 30 year low when Trump called for our city to be militarily occupied. It has nothing to do with safety and everything to do with normalizing military suppression before the 2026 mid-terms. That’s not conspiracy. That’s what he is saying. The enshittification of DC just a detail.

Here's why I think we should be willing to have a progressive as the Democratic nominee: Donald Trump killed the Republican Party's center but he won two terms anyway despite being historically unpopular. Having President AOC is not that far fetched.

37% of voters in a rigged electorate in a referendum perverted by hate, lies, and foreign interference - a referendum that would have been annulled because of law-breaking had it been mandatory, which the Brexiters loudly and falsely declared it was.
