Has anyone checked on Mike Lee? Since some people on the left were tragically killed in their home he should have tweeted something mocking their deaths by now.

The rerelease of the Kill Bill movies reminds me about how it's a red flag when men like these movies. It's not about the violence/gore but absolutely about women and power structures.

The Trump administration and its allies in Congress are maximizing oil-and-gas development across the Arctic.

The Interior Department announced that it opened the entire 1.56 million acres of the Coastal Plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil and gas leasing. And it doesn't stop there.

Propaganda literacy is being able to recognize when you are are the target of propaganda, which more frequently looks like an outrageous opinion or semantic claim that you argue about (intentionally legitimating a bad faith frame), than it does being shown a 1940s propaganda poster created by nazis

Trump Org’s income in the first half of 2024 was $51 million.

In the first half of 2025 it rose to $864 million.

A massive percentage came from foreigners.

It should be the biggest scandal in the history of American politics.

But few even care. www.reuters.com/investigatio...
Inside the Trump family’s global crypto cash machine
The U.S. president’s family raked in more than $800 million from sales of crypto assets in the first half of 2025 alone, a Reuters examination found, on top of potentially billions more in unrealized “on paper” gains. Much of that cash came from foreign sources as Donald Trump's sons touted their business on an international investor roadshow.

Why is Apple, Microsoft, Lockheed Martin, Blackstone, Google, OpenAI, Amazon and others financing the destruction of the WH and desecration of the grounds, something that is infuriating to huge chunk of the American population? Do you hate your customers that much?

If you take $230 million out of the treasury to pay yourself for being president, I believe you should be executed for high crimes.

Who knew White House was gutted/removated by Truman btwn ‘49 and ‘52?

I did. I’m a nerd. The renovation was necessary cuz it was on the verge of collapse.

It was done w great care and reverence for its historical significance

Trump’s “upgrade”, on the other hand, is motel 6 shit
