I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

The G in MAGA stands for Grift: The H1-B visa thing is just market manipulation. On Monday, tech stocks will dive and those in the know will be able to buy at a discount. In a few days, Trump will reverse course, stocks will recover, and those in the know will sell at a nice short term profit.

This is great. James Dempsey’s Liquid Glass song:

"I made the lyrics as intelligible… as Liquid Glass controls are legible. Come on everyone, sing along! You don’t know the words, but neither do I. 🎶"

WATCH: “In video captured by the Tennessee Holler…”

On @msnbc, @eriellereshef plays our video of @brotherjones.bsky.social getting banned from @GovBillLee’s Teslas-only tunnel announcement — even though it was a state event, in his own district.

How many reporters are currently working on tell-all exposés about their own organization, detailing all the acts of cowardice of their editors and publishers?

I won’t ever buy your book about Sleepy Joe Biden, but I’d absolutely devour a book about the internal collapse of the NYT or CNN.
