counterpoint: populism delenda est

In memory of Renee Good and Alex Pretti ❤️

Fear of ICE is still forcing many immigrant families to stay inside their homes, too scared to go out for food.

That’s why #FeedMinneapolis is delivering groceries to their homes.

Give $25, $50, $100, $200 — whatever you can to help keep families fed.

When the Dems retake the House, they should force every one of those DOGE bros to testify and if there is any grounds for prosecution to do it swiftly.

Techies need to have inputs that enforce consequences on their actions.

so many lies

Still of President Trump at yesterday's dignified transfer ceremony as seen on Fox & Friends.

To clarify this: the context is college sports. Trump is saying that Russia helping Iran target Americans in a war is less important than the pay structure for athletes.

BREAKING: The US has bombed Tehran’s main refinery and burning oil is now flooding down the streets into the city’s sewers.

This is a vision from hell, unleashed by the US tonight.

They keep sending me mailers asking for donations!

We’re 7 days into something that looks like a war, feels like a war, costs like a war, has the same economic effects of a war, but we’re not supposed to call it a war because it would require the President to follow that annoying thing called the United States Constitution.

NBC news reported today that Donald Trump is “seriously interested” in a ground war in Iran.

A person who doesn’t study history has no problem repeating it.

It’s up to us to stop him.

DONALD TRUMP KILLED 170 CHILDREN IN MINAB, IRAN AND THEN POSTED A SIZZLE REEL DECLARING "FLAWLESS VICTORY"

We are the bad guys.

We are the rogue nation we grew up being taught to fear and despise.

Man, @nicollewallace.bsky.social is interviewing a former national guard leader who was in Dubai when the war started and he is talking about how this government absolutely abandoned Americans and it was the UAE that got them out.

Just damning incompetence and failure.

Sharpton: "We're still here! We've come this far by faith. It was against the law to read and write! It was against the law to marry, but we've come this far by faith. I don't care what they do in Washington, I care what we do in the community. We've beat people bigger than Trump!"

Wisconsin Farm Bankruptcies Up 700% — A Fourth-Generation Farmer Explains Why YouTube video by Civic Media

Farm bankruptcies in Wisconsin jumped 700%. Fourth-generation farmer Brian Reisinger explains what's behind it — corn stuck at $4/bushel since 1984, rising costs everywhere else, no farm bill, and 45,000 farms lost per year.

96% of U.S. farms are still family-owned. For now.

to underline the total incoherence of the administration, that point about trump praising delcy rodriguez yesterday? like two days ago, reuters reported that the DOJ is preparing charges for her.

BREAKING: Credible whistleblower discloses that FBI forensic experts were ordered to stand down from processing the scene where Renee Good was killed, because Kash Patel did not want Good referenced as a “victim” in the warrant.

After Renee Good was killed, career FBI agents were ordered to stand down from investigating her killing.

Why?

Kash Patel wanted to falsely spin Renee Good as a threat to law enforcement.

They cut Meals on Wheels for seniors, doctors for the VA, and food for American children - but send billions of taxpayer dollars to the Middle East for an unnecessary war of choice.

TWEET OF THE DAY 🏆

The three jets that were shot down in Kuwait could have funded healthcare for 100,000 children for a year. That is a deliberate choice.

he should be arrested and this veteran should sue the fucking shit out of him

Kamlager-Dove: During you tenure at DHS, have you had sexual relations with Corey Lewandowski?

Noem: I am shocked we are peddling tabloid garbage.

KAMLAGER-DOVE: At any point in your tenure at DHS, have you had sexual relations with Corey Lewandowski?

NOEM: You're peddling tabloid garbage

K: You should be able to answer if someone asks if a federal official is sleeping with their subordinate

NOEM: It's garbage

K: It's about your judgment

Just a thought, maybe SecDef shouldn’t jerk himself off on live television at the thought of casualties in war.

War isn’t something to be giddy about. Were the most powerful nation on the planet. We’re supposed to be the quiet professionals, not carnival barking morons.

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.

Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

For today’s @aft.org March 4th Day of Action, we are speaking out for our schools and communities. Teachers are paying for their own classroom supplies while the government finds billions for wars and ICE.

Tillis to Noem: "A 14 month old dog is basically a teenager in dog years. You decided to kill that dog bc you hadn't invested the appropriate training, then you have the audacity to write a book & say it's a leadership lesson! ... Those are bad decisions not unlike what happened in Minneapolis"

Let’s talk Iranian war.

You’ve probably seen a lot of hand-wringing over missile interceptor quantities. Are we running out? Can we fight for years?

As usual, the answer is somewhere in the middle.

Bottom line up front: interceptors are a finite resource. That’s a fact.

While the McDonald’s CEO gets roasted for his awkward burger taste test...

McDonald’s is among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

And McDonald's CEO recently raked in $18.2M — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

That should leave a bad taste in your mouth.
