Those social safety nets in Europe? Yeah capital is coming for all of that shit. They need a power rebalancing through poveritization of the masses.

Capitalism is in crisis mode, and it is clawing back ALL of the concessions it made to avoid a communist revolution in the West.

It says so much that even the scraps Dems are trying to defend from cuts are too costly for the media, political and business elite.

Theyve all coalesced behind the idea that this country needs a hard shift of all power towards capital.

it should be a tell about what's happening in the media now that most mainstream commentators seem openly frustrated that polling does not blame democrats for the shutdown

A-fucking-men. The Mamdani fans are completely incapable of learning from *very recent* history.

So they are suckered into supporting the pro-genocide party again, do nothing to organize outside of the evil, corrupt system, and condemn us all to fascism that's ever prolonged.

I am going to laugh at all of you when you start claiming you were "betrayed" by Mamdani one of these days. Just like with Bernie, AOC, and Fetterman, people tried to warn you all along

Republicans gave ICE so much money so they could violate all our rights.

ICE bought vehicles equipped with fake cell towers to spy on phones | TechCrunch

The federal contract shows ICE spent $825,000 on vans equipped with “cell-site simulators” which allow the real-world location tracking of nearby phones and their owners.

Ian Brennan's work on the Eric and Lyle Menendez story was so deeply sympathetic and human, but here he seems to have indulged in a particularly ugly vein of sensationalism at a dangerous time in our national consciousness.

So far as I'm aware, there is neither physical evidence nor testimony suggesting Ed Gein ever had any kind of fixation on or interest in Christine Jorgensen, nor to suggest Gein actually cross-dressed. I think to invent these elements for the purpose of fiction is at best ignorant and reckless.

Yesterday, Mike Johnson said they'd swear in Democrat Adelita Grijalva (the final person needed to force a vote on releasing the Epstein Files) "as soon as she wants."

Not even 24 hours later, he now says they'll only swear her in when they reopen the government. What gives?

Kelly asking why Fine and Petronis got sworn in on pro forma, Johnson says it has to do with being on recess.
