The biggest newspaper on the eastern side of Missouri is now owned by a "down the middle" millionaire who failed to build businesses and just wants reporters to be nice to businesses. What could go wrong?
"Palantir CEO Alex Karp says his AI technology will lessen the power of “highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat” while increasing the power of working-class men."
Just saying it right out loud now.

Trump Opens the Door for ICE to Target Anyone Suspected of Being Trans
Under a new rule, the State Dept will be able to revoke trans people's visas over "misrepresentation." It'll give ICE grounds to suspect all trans people of being in the US illegally. transitics.substack.com/p/trump-admi...
The current world chicken population is larger than the planet-wide non-chicken bird population not just today, but at any point in the history of earth.
The idea that the White House didn't figure Iran might try to cut off oil out of the Gulf is comical. They didn't figure for what has now become the fulcrum point of the whole conflict. Iran's leaders are now showing that regime change can work in both directions.
Case in GD point

Then any time the courts do slap things down, the supermajority just rewrites the law to make it ok, and run it through with no resistance. Just open blatant corruption and disregard of the citizens of the state. They are speed running fascism and making $$$$$$$ on our backs.
I just don't know what anyone can do in this state. Republicans are running the state fully into the ground and no one is stopping them (kinda sounds federally familiar). Haskins is a full fledged quack who admits in court to drawing out summary cases for political benefit and courts do nothing.
Everyone is twelve theory undefeated
I feel like I’ve had to be loudly anti-war since I was 19.
All news from the ed committee is like "ed committee forwards bill where private Christian schools get money for new chefs and Nike sponsorships while public schools get new budget for saw dust and play it again sports membership."
Internal messages from Live Nation reveal two execs talking about "robbing [fans] blind."
“These people are so stupid. I almost feel bad taking advantage of them," one says.
That man is now the head of ticketing for the unit responsible for Live Nation's 150 amphitheaters.

Y'all, this STATE CONTROLLED SLMPD budget demand is absolutely insane. Of course we knew it would be, but how. dare. they. think that taking money from other city services actually benefits our city? This is a police state budget, not a human, resident-benefitting budget. #STL #fundpeoplenotcops
Missouri under 20+ years of GOP rule has become a state dominated by cops and the rich. It is no safer and most definitely no better off because of it. Citizens are poorer, with less resources, and with less of a voice. It's a dominated state.
Why do we want them to save money instead of us saving money
Currently, Missouri is one of the worst states in the country for women's health. Here, we see higher rates of maternal mortality, infant mortality, and preterm births than the national average.
The most ridiculous part of this is him saying he goes out anywhere. He goes nowhere. He's an old lump. He goes nowhere but the bathroom and maralago
There are multiple conflicts of interest on the state-appointed police board, from board members to the lawyers, it is corruption in plain sight. #stl
Even before Trump's friends took over media, the media was rancid at the highest levels.
Instead of taking Live Nation-Ticketmaster to trial, Trump just let them off the hook.
The federal government had been building a case for years, and could have broken up the Live Nation-Ticketmaster monopoly.
But Trump just let them settle out of court.

The takeover of the cops is going to be the downfall of the city. Just like every community organizer said.
Where you at @wesleybell.bsky.social ??
Missouri GOP brain rot in the House and on your screens. "A little bit of sacrifice on the part of Americans" for a war they don't want and didn't ask for.
Cool

"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the Middle East."
"'From the get-go, he didn't like that I was a boy-girl' (referencing a tomboy)...TRUMP mentioned something to the effect of 'Let me teach you how little girls are supposed to be.'"
Hey @rahmemanuel.bsky.social since you love "a blunt style," how about this: fuck off forever. No one wants you in public life anymore except yourself and Republicans. Eat shit. 🤙
I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.
Republicans do NOT want your kids to go to successful public schools.
