DOJ is reportedly ready to pay $50M to QAnon conspiracy theorist and convicted felon Michael Flynn.
White supremacy is when a convicted white man gets restitution while Latino Americans are tortured and deported on the mere accusation they're undocumented. Horrific.

In 2019, Trump overruled congress on stopping US involvement in the Yemen war.
DJT vetoed the resolution after it had passed the house & senate.

I don't think legacy media is reading the room correctly on the Epstein Files. Many of us are asking why they have ignored this story for the last decade? Why did they dismiss all of us who were concerned that Trump might be compromised? And where is their fucking contrition and apology now?

No shit. The list of things I’d do if I were a billionaire is long, and involves giving most of it away (billionaires shouldn’t exist 💅🏻) but top of it would be funding campaigns to primary the democrats who have completely missed the moment and bought the promise of a future *vote* on the ACA
Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

Schumer put the nail in his own coffin and the Democratic Leadership. It's done. Just a matter of time. Ditto Centrists.
They have misread the moment and the rage of the people.
Trump and MAGA will continue playing them because they know they are weak.

Imagine calling someone an asshole because they were upholding the law, especially in a time where election security is under such heavy scrutiny. This is the epitome of entitlement.
Dude, we’ve never met. So yeah, I was just trying to track turnout. Every other precinct allowed me, cuz I’m polite. So anyway, you got up in my face so hard so fast. So yes, I called you an asshole b/c you were. Politeness works friend.

Did you know that DeWayne's father was the 1st cousin of late blues artist B.B. King? They sharecropped together in the 40s and he was in B.B.'s First Band (see pic). DeWayne had a short stint as a trumpet player, and remains a gifted singer.

But there is nothing noble or respectable about what Vought is doing, about his vision for the country. He is a fully competent, utterly committed radical ideologue. He lusts for counter-revolution and radical measures. There is no line he doesn’t feel justified to cross.

Help! I came across an article in the last few days about so many of our tech billionaires having autism, and the relation between that, algorithms, and an increasingly isolated society. Or something along those lines? Anyone have a lead for me on who wrote that? I can’t find it anywhere.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

Not sure that anyone’s tracking, but TikTok just updated its community guidelines and announced it will now allow government entities to advertise on the platform.
Political ads from parties and advocacy groups are still banned.
Seems like a massive information imbalance.
