Brazil’s former Dictator Bolsonaro will begin serving his 27 year prison sentence for plotting a coup in his country.

If only Merrick Garland had gotten the job done when we had the chance and sent the orange felon and his insurrectionists to jail where they belong. Scumbag.

Hard to express how important a part of WFMU Jeff has been since the 1980s. His show will be sorely missed.
utter respect to this @wfmu.bsky.social legend. my sunday mornings will never be the same.
Jeff Sarge has announced that the last episode of his Reggae Schoolroom radio show on @wfmu.bsky.social will be the November 30th, 2025 one – ending the popular show's 41-year(!!) run.

Next year, Americans will see the biggest jump in health insurance costs in 15 years.

Meanwhile, the six largest health insurers raked in more than $31 billion in net income last year.

Still not sure if we need Medicare for All?

I wish more politicians understood how the economy is rigged against regular people the way Bill Burr does.

The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%. 

That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class.

The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

As of today, import taxes (aka tariffs) have hit their highest level since the Great Depression. Americans are now expected to pay an average of 18.3% more for imported products. Remember when Trump ran on lowering costs?

A reminder that Brazil arrested and charged their former dictator Bolsonaro with planning a coup and trying to overturn the 2022 elections in their country.

If only the United States had done the same instead of giving the plotter of a coup full totalitarian power of the govt.

What, exactly, are we celebrating tomorrow?

Our cutting off healthcare to the needy to enrich the greedy?

Our new concentration camps?

Our dying economy?

Our ditching due process?

Our corruption?

Our broken legislature?

Our corrupt SCOTUS?

Our ridiculous buffoon president? #FourthOfJuly

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

Is it any wonder so many feel abandoned by our economy? People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void.

This is why we must fix the system.

Yup. And the media continues to say how good The Dictator is at “marketing.”
They’re lying about Medicaid cuts.

They’re lying about the deficit increase.

They’re lying about what they accomplished in Iran.

They lie about everything.

It is just a nonstop torrent of lies intended to flood the zone with propaganda.
