We're witnessing the culminating rot of shareholder capitalism in real time.

Some of the most powerful corporations in America have sided with an authoritarian regime in order to protect their short term profits — the fundamental rights of everyone else be damned.

If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029:

- $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion
- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention
- Billions more.

This poor woman. This country is brutal and it’s infuriating because it doesn’t need to be. We could have a system with a real safety net that didn’t drive people to hopelessness and despair. But, of course, that’s how it’s been intentionally designed. It runs as intended for the ruling class.

Is this the same Mark Zuckerberg who told Jim Jordan just a few months ago that he would not be making donations to support electoral infrastructure because of even the perception of not being neutral? 🤔 www.wsj.com/tech/mark-zu...

An audiotape of Jeffrey Epstein stating that he was Donald Trump’s best friend for a decade didn’t even get 12 full hours of media coverage.

Just something to think about as we enter day 3 of Hunter pardon clickbait.

Damn and now Drake is going to have to pay a 25 percent tariff on that beef?

I almost feel like the Gaetz nomination is a loyalty test to see just how far Republican senators are willing to go. And by flooding the zone with horrible picks it makes some of them look less horrible by comparison.
