If attending protests, be sure to take appropriate precautions.

This is not to scare you from protesting, but rather encouraging safety while attending. Peaceful protesting is legal and protected activity.
EFF obtained datasets representing more than 12 million searches logged by more than 3,900 agencies between 2024 and 2025. The data shows that agencies logged hundreds of searches related to the 50501, Hands Off, and No Kings protests, among other protests in between. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Such classic gaslighting it's an instructive moment. The question is not whether generic is better or worse, it's that a list with more expensive brand names is not the same as a list with cheaper generics. Perverting that truth into an attack on those calling it out is Manipulation 101.
Hassett: "On one of the Sunday shows, the anchor criticized the fact Walmart said the Thanksgiving dinner is cheaper by about $10. Then he said, 'Oh yeah, but they substituted generic stuff,' as if having a generic something is a crime for ordinary folks! It shows how out of touch these people are."

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

For our good night we are sharing this great piece on the history of processed food in America. We agree with the 🧠🪱 on this - the American diet of processed foods is trash. But we don’t blame you, we blame Big Ag and Big Food who are as bad as Big Tobacco.

Good night!

We face an open open question as to whether the president, anywhere, anytime he pleases, can execute or round up people he says are terrorists—without due process. That we are even entertaining such a discussion tells you how far Trump has damaged democracy open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Hegseth claimed we need to “return to the male standard” in combat jobs, but there has never been a separate male and female standard. When women entered combat roles, one standard was set, and we’ve been meeting it ever since. You can either do the job or you can’t. Period.

Walmart and Navy Federal Credit Union were investigated for scamming consumers, but now they’re thanking Donald Trump for letting them off the hook.

Instead of lowering costs like he promised, Trump is standing in the way of cheated Americans getting their money back.

You're living through a major technological revolution right now and it has nothing to do with AI.

The United States is in danger of missing it and getting left behind because our corrupt President wants us to be buyers-of-last-resort for fossil fuels owned by his paymasters in KSA and Russia.
China's July 2025 solar production was ~50% higher than its July 2024 solar output!

China's solar generated 839 TWh in 2024 and will likely exceed 1,200 TWh in 2025.

China's solar will generate in 2025 an amount of electricity equal to about 27% of USA's electricity demand. #energysky
