The system works to preserve the system, and as long as we keep voting “Blew No Matter hooo” it will never get better, only worse. Think about who we are voting for.
GOP agitprop and establishment dem disdain for progressives ratfucked @governorwalz.mn.gov Walz six ways from sunday but I can't find a single mainstream outlet that makes that particularly clear to our dim and befuddled electorate

Some basic facts: Venezuela produces about 1 million barrels of oil a day. (US, 20m.) But it has what's probably biggest reserve in world at 300 billion.
It will take massive investments (and years) for Venezuela to significantly increase its output. Who will do that? Who will pay for that?

The only people who would do this are criminals who intend to issue unlawful orders.
Pete Hegseth says the military has started administrative actions against Sen. Mark Kelly — for his video saying that service members should refuse illegal orders — that could result in a reduction in his retirement rank and military pension.

These conservative assholes are nothing but selfish trash. We quite literally need to find every law they have broken and prosecute them for it, take everything they have, and drive them out of our society. I’ve been 100% done with their shit since Reagan’s boot boys.

Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Maduro and his wife eventually walk. This DOJ is so inept, they’ll probably fuck things up so badly they couldn’t get a conviction, if it ever even makes it to trial.

On Air Force One, a reporter noted that some had called it a kidnapping and Trump said that was a good term for it.
BBC journalists have been banned from describing the kidnapped Venezuelan leader as having been kidnapped.
