People love reminding me that I'm not allowed to post about American politics cause I'm not American.

Even ignoring the problems with that concept in general, my wife is American, their family all lives in America and one of my brothers lives in America. I'm allowed to care about their hell hole.

Massive Layoffs at the Dept of #Education Erode Its #CivilRights Division

Only five of the agency’s civil rights offices remain nationwide. Those who are still with the department say it will now be “virtually impossible” to resolve #discrimination complaints.

Geez. One year after seeing a 16 year old kid gunned down 5 feet away from me, the most traumatic thing I've ever witnessed, I see two mass shootings on the news, one here and one around the world from here. People are sick everywhere.

Donald Trump is on live TV addressing the shootings at Brown University and in Australia. He quickly shifted to bragging about all of the tariff based money pouring into the US “more than four times as much as ever before.“ The network cut away from it.

As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis stated in 1933; “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.”

Today, at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, his words ring truer than ever.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

As it turns out, the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun *isn’t* a good guy with a gun—it can be a good guy *without* a gun. Just another NRA lie.

“Instead of 3% or 4% GDP, it should be able to 20% or 25%. I don’t know why it can’t be.”

Anyone with even a modicum of knowledge about economics knows but the Stable Genius clearly does not.

Young American men volunteer for military service, knowing they may have to sacrifice their lives for their country.
But they didn't volunteer to sacrifice their futures to protect the President or Secretary of Defense from being convicted of crimes.
That's not the service for which we thank them.

If Trump is innocent, prove it.

If you're a politician and don't support rapists or pedophiles, prove it.

If you're a politician and aren't complicit in Epstein's crimes, prove it.

Release the Epstein files.

Any time I comment on shootings in the US, I invariably get told that "you need guns to defend against tyranny".

* looks back over 2025 *

.... does "tyranny" mean something different over there?

There hasn’t been enough appreciation for how thoroughly BENNIE THOMPSON humiliated FBI official GLASHEEN after he tried to sell the lie that ANTIFA is the top domestic terror threat.

The claim collapsed because it’s a cover.
