The fact that he has any opinion about this when he admits he knows nothing about Bad Bunny and when federal employees are not able to earn their paychecks is proof positive that everything he says is a grift. He doesn't believe anything. The political class is full of sociopaths in suits.

$10B bailout for a farming revenue crisis created by your tariffs.

Government efficiency at its finest.

"[W]hen those who oppose white supremacy find it cloaked in respectability, it is much harder to defeat.... Wittingly or unwittingly, calls for civility can dilute efforts to dismantle white supremacy." - Sarah Frohardt-Lane

If that were the final thing this nation saw before its complete collapse, it would be cosmological poetry.

Van Jones is truly reprehensible and I look forward to the day when his brand of play-nice-with-racists is revealed for what it is: he's a genocide apologist in a clean suit making way too much money to lack so much brain.

Van Jones repeats “dead Gaza baby” as a punch line. New York Times columnistThomas Friedman laughs along.

Pete Hegseth is one of the weakest men alive. You let that decaying, rotting tumor called Donald Trump yell at you because "he's the boss." What a loser. What kind of man touting a "warrior ethos" just sits there and licks up workaday workplace harassment? Lacking courage, a brain, and a heart.

This is the generation of leaders that was taught creationism instead of evolutionary biology and it shows.

Then why is the right to bear arms at the Supreme Court infringed, Amy?

Leander ISD in Texas has "paused" the use of 40 more books to consider whether they should be banned, including The Narrative Life of Frederick Douglass. In this light, the Leander ISD "Core Beliefs" are laughable.

The same defenders of democracy interned Japanese American citizens, beat the hell out of Mexican and Mexican American zoot suiters, and committed documented war crimes resulting in the unexplainable deaths of civilians at home and abroad.

"Democracy" can be a cover for fascism.
profponton.bsky.social
This is interesting given democracy's defenders were the same white soldiers that willfully served in segregated forces, the same white veterans that gleefully took the GI Bill's benefits at the expense of black veterans, and the same white American-flag-planters who lynched returning black soldiers

My god.

“Watson said she saw agents dragging residents, including kids, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers…’It was heartbreaking to watch…seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.’”

I swear nobody wants to talk about the fact that food prices are still rising faster than prices in general. A year ago all we heard about was the price of eggs.

Food prices are still rising yet the media gives us…crickets…

Donald Trump has cowed Congress, the Obscene Court™, higher education administrations, car manufacturers, farmers, and now big pharma. The small government conservatives are notably quiet and the Democrats seem dumbstruck as usual that being moderate doesn't get stuff done.

affirming "American exceptionalism" is wild when one of the things we're really exceptional at is mass shootings at schools

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it
