Worst jobs report.

Remember when Trump fired the head of BLS because he didn’t like the jobs report? And then he attempted to cook the books by installing a MAGA person?

Just another example of how so many of their attempts--like mid-decade gerrymandering---just fall flat.

Behold: the first-ever list of news outlets that have banned generative AI in their reporting. As of today, this is literally information that you cannot find on Google.

My goal is to fill the starter pack, so please send over suggestions with supporting evidence!

The 1973 oil crisis is seen by some scholars as a big historical moment that allowed neoliberalism to take hold. β€œThe result was an intellectual revolution: a shift to neo-liberalism with a stress on individualism and incentives rather than collectivism and equality, and greater power for finance.”

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.

Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.

We live in Orwellian times.

The costs of supporting Israel’s war on Iran:

- Dead American soldiers
- Dead elementary schoolgirls
- Over $1 Billion/day for combat ops
- Soaring gas prices
- Tanking markets
- Betrayed GCC allies
- Another constitutional crisis

…and growing.

We shouldn’t be so concerned that Mullin doesn’t have a bachelor’s degree

Plenty of smart, successful people never went to college

We should be concerned that Mullin is unqualified, particularly stupid and ridiculously arrogant-a dangerous combination which is unfortunately very common among MAGA

Notice how the blades are still intact after the strike? If a real Mi-17 took that hit, there would be a massive fireball, rotors shear off and cartwheel away, fuselage buckles with metal exploding outward in 3D, and a debris field spread 50+ meters.

β€œAt the end of the day, she didn’t sound any better than some of these ultra-conservative people who were demeaning Black and Brown folk on a regular basis,” said Rev. Rodney Sadler, a Bible scholar and longtime community activist in Charlotte. β€œIt felt like a betrayal of the utmost.”

Cunningham’s comments proved so problematic for Sadler that he said he realized that she was β€œno longer worthy of being our representative” and he had to run against her. β€œIt drove me to a point of saying, β€˜She needs to go, and she needs to go now,’” the 58-year-old pastor, who works at Charlotte’s Union Presbyterian Seminary, told Bolts.

AOC: If people like Kristi Noem, Kash Patel, and Pam Bondi violate the law, there are supposed to be consequences. These are people who call themselves law enforcement officers. The message they’re sending is that they can cover up for pedophiles and street executions. That cannot be acceptable.

As @lalshareef said, don’t repeat slogans repeat facts, because when lies spread hate grows, and hate has done enough damage in this world.

I haven't said anything about this before, bc in the grand scheme of horrors this only rates as an inconvenience, but since others are experiencing it:

Just three days after CBP arrested me for filming them outside Broadview on 9/27, my TSA Pre & Global Entry were suspendedβ€”and so were my wife's.

I wish more of the public understood that Premillennialism has driven GOP support for Israel over decades. Bibi/Israel's' Right Wing has used this to maintain US support across party lines.
Conservative Protestants through white Christian Nationalists support a Israel to bring on the end times ⬇️
