I can't believe hate won!
Sexual assault, hate, bigotry, racism, misogyny, and corruption, WON!
Three weeks later and I still can't wrap my brain around it.

Hate won that battle. There are more to come. We must fight on (vote) every time there is chance, for school boards, mayor, county leadership, etc. The war on hate never ends and so does our resolve to end it.

Lol. They put this lunatic on the “Board of Peace” hoping it would stop him from blowing up boats in the Caribbean and annexing his allies.

I am still infuriated that a young man who served two tours in Iraq and earned a purple heart was deported while a damn draft dodger sits in the Whitehouse.

In other words—billions of taxpayer dollars (your money) paid out as WELFARE to corporations that take in—individually—tens of billions of dollars a year in profits and pay virtually NO taxes so that’s even more welfare…
So who are the real welfare queens?

Your daily reminder that the fossil fuel industry is propped up by billions of dollars in U.S. government subsidies and a multimillion dollar campaign to spread climate disinformation. 💵

I'm seeing people wonder why ICE is going after Charlotte.
ICE has been at war with Charlotte's sheriff ever since he won in 2018.
We'd covered this at Bolts back in the day; this quote is from that sheriff:

“When the 8 African American sheriffs took over the largest counties in North Carolina, it became a threat to the good ol’ boy system,” says the sheriff of Charlotte. These new sheriffs broke ties with ICE.
But GOP lawmakers cracked down this week, overbidding the governor’s veto to adopt this law:

North Carolina GOP Is Cracking Down on the Black Sheriffs Who Stood Up to ICE
Boosted by new supermajorities, Republicans are closing in on legislation to mandate more collaboration with ICE and preempt local policies hard-won by immigrants’ rights advocates.

J.D. Vance welcomes a two-legged robot helping on the job site. But if that helper is a person named Jose, he calls it a threat. Same tasks, same productivity boost.
The inconsistency reveals this isn’t about economics.

Republicans are to blame for your tax on social security. Reagan was the culprit. Tax the elderly so billionaires can pay less taxes is always a republican agenda.

Through every shutdown in history, the government has still provided economic data to the American people.
They aren’t doing it this time because the numbers are fucking terrible.

Trump's Epstein connections are discussed not in the context of Trump's extensive history of sexual assault (boasting about it, being accused of it, being held liable for it) but instead as a intra-MAGA horse race conflict.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
