Madame Beloved Dictator

Republicans here in Mississippi have pulled stunts like this—putting up Democratic candidates who are either Trojan horses or just batshit crazy.

He wants a Medal of Honor.

It would be extreme irony if Trump turned Iran into a secular democracy with guaranteed rights for women. (He won’t.)

Please don't post photos of dead children, or videos of dead children, or yell DONT LOOK AWAY. You are sick. Log off. Touch grass. You have PTSD and are inflicting it on us all. If you are not in media/ a conflict researcher/ etc you do NOT need to consume Horrors. Blocking lots right now.

Anyone thinks this does *not* raise the risk of terrorist attacks in the U.S.?

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere.

It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

Possibly the stupidest thing I have ever heard.

CEOs Joined Trump’s Corruption. It Will Soon Be Time for Consequences. I mentioned the other day that the insider D.C. sheets are helpful...

I highly recommend that you read this from @joshtpm.bsky.social

There must be consequences.

‘Don’t go to the US – not with Trump in charge’: the UK tourist with a valid visa detained by ICE for six weeks Karen Newton was in America on the trip of a lifetime when she was shackled, transported and held for weeks on end. With tourism to the US under increasing strain, she says, ‘If it can happen to me, i...

Why did ICE shackle a British tourist, a grandmother with no criminal record, who had all the correct papers, and lock her in a cell for SIX WEEKS??

Because ICE officers are paid a bonus every time they detain someone.

Eliminate this agency now.

Spread this FAR AND WIDE.

I’m sorry, WHAT???

One of the greats! 😭

I am reminded of the Muslim voters in Dearborn, MI who supported Trump because he would be the “best choice” on Gaza.

Remember that before every election, there is a swarm of “leftists” telling voters not to vote for Democrats because they are wrong/inadequate/whatever.

DO NOT TRUST THEM. They (knowingly or not) work in the service of people who need Dems to lose.

Well, you can make sure your kids are vaccinated right now. RFK Jr is taking active steps to make it impossible in the near future for anyone in the U.S. to get vaccines.

We live in challenging times. But these are also clarifying times, where the choices are clear, and we have examples to admire.

All honor to the Epstein survivors.

All honor to the people of Minneapolis.

All honor to the people of Ukraine.

ICE Is Expanding Across the US at Breakneck Speed. Here’s Where It’s Going Next ICE plans to lease offices throughout the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign. WIRED is publishing dozens of these locations.

NEW: ICE has a plan to lease offices across the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign.

Today, @wired.com is publishing dozens of those locations. Many are near schools, medical offices, and places of worship.

Vital work from @leahfeiger.bsky.social that I'm proud to publish.

They always made me suspicious. And I was right to be suspicious.

This is horrible. Every damn day they make information harder/impossible to find. And they make us dumber.

Not at all easy to pull all that together from other sources, though.

Omigod. I am one of the many thousands of people who use the Factbook.

Those little explosions you heard? MAGA heads.

I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what

The Washington Post - Opinion Little to gain by raising taxes on the rich New research shows the current top federal income tax rate is close to revenue-maximizing.

Truly hilarious headline from the Bezos-owned Washington Post yesterday.

Never, ever let the guys who control half the wealth in America and just got billions of dollars in tax breaks tell you we shouldn't tax the rich.

She says, after deciding to be a pawn in Trump's political games and participating in political theater.

hell yes

Changes to Social Security already have Americans working longer to get full benefits. And referencing an “average American” is ridiculous. Is he really so stupid he doesn’t understand that this pretends we all fit this “average”? Tell that to disabled people who can no longer work

For those keeping score at home:
