Do you think they possess the self awareness to realize how implausible their stories are or do they know and just not care because they know how gullible maga are?

Sharyn Alfonsi is walking the walk. I hope we have many more journalists who have this kind of courage. Reporting the "truth" of what is going on, is the most fundamental principal of what a news organization is supposed to do.

The banned 60 Minutes episode about the CECOT torture prison used by the Trump admin is now exploding across the internet. Be sure to watch so you can see the excellent reporting done by Sharyn Alfonsi & her team at 60 Minutes:
And now someone has uploaded a version that wasn't filmed off a TV.

There's also the torrent link there, which is probably the fastest way to download the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT if you want to save the file locally to your computer.

Larry Summers: "This is way beyond anything Nixon ever did ... this is the stuff of democracies giving way to authoritarianism. Firing statisticians goes with threatening the heads of newspapers, launching assaults on universities, launching assaults on law firms. This is really scary stuff."

It's Islamophobic. It's racist. It's also completely untrue.

The thing about the Khalil case is that it's very very good that he's free now but you can't have it take three months between "the government kidnaps you off the street for no basis reason whatsoever" and "a judge makes them let you go." You just can't.

Mass layoffs beginning in the United States thanks to Trump's failed Tariff war that has cost the US billions if not trillions, its global reputation, and its most important global trading partners.

UPS will become the first of many, starting layoffs at 20,000 jobs and will close 169 buildings.

Trump's failed Tariffs will cost at least 770,000 jobs in the US by the end of the year. If Trump continues his deranged Tariff war for longer, that number is expected to increase drastically.

Change does not wait for consensus. It moves through those who refuse to stand still in the face of injustice. When systems fail, legitimacy flows to those who act. Show them where power truly lives - when masses rise up, we're telling them they do not own our future - we do! #3E #Stigmergy

This is Linda Martin. A few years ago, the FBI seized her life savings: $40,200.

The kicker: She was never charged with a crime—and the government couldn’t tell her why it took her money.

Martin is far from the first. But she is trying to make sure she is the last. A thread.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?

100%? 500%?

Try 1,085%

Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Dr Peter Marks, "Vaccines have been studied very extensively for being potentially associated with autism"

"That theory has been debunked"

"One study in Denmark, over 600,000 children. It shows that if anything, children had a lower rate of autism than unvaccinated children"
