It's not a new observation at this point but that wild Noem/Lewandowski story in WSJ really brings home the extent to which all the Trump 2 cabinet-level goblins see their jobs as flying private, doing short-form video, and screaming at underlings. They all hate each other and none of them can read.

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

Yes! What if we treated extremely normal human variation as something other than a "disorder"???

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

This is concerning, that a rep feels they must post this. A lot in our coalition has felt the same way and worried about it, but didn’t think we’d be here publicly.

What we know about the attack on two Minnesota lawmakers - BBC News The attack on two Minnesota state lawmakers in their homes was described as politically motivated.

Assasinations of state senators is NOT common. Maybe if our intelligence agencies and military were doing their jobs, tracking threats online for example, this may have been avoided. Instead, they’re tracking Jose’s bodega and Jesus’s fruit stand #FAIL

Silent protest?

Service members not walking in formation, especially during a military parade meant to prop up a fascist, speaks volumes to me.

Curious what others think.

Airliners abort landings as Army helicopter makes β€˜scenic’ loop around Pentagon The Black Hawk was trying to land at the Pentagon’s heliport, bringing it close to a pair of airliners, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

Two airliners abandoned landing attempts at Washington’s Reagan National Airport on Thursday afternoon when an Army Black Hawk took a β€œscenic route” near the flight path and circled the Pentagon before landing at a military heliport.

The top five egg producers own roughly half of all U.S. laying hens.

The biggest of those corporations is Cal-Maine, which just announced quarterly profits of $509 million β€” more than 3x what it made a year ago.

Corporate concentration + bird flu = a price-hiking free for all.
