Only connections with other people matter. They can kidnap our neighbors and friends you can keep them out of the game but you can't take them from our hearts. The best way to fight back is to reach out and invite in. he/him.

Quite remarkable to see how many in Starmer's party are so trapped in a kind of Corbyn era PTSD that they can't grasp the kind of serious challenge the Greens represent rather than the 1980s flashback caricature of what Starmerites think the Left always will be.

The administration has also destroyed the reputation of the U.S. as a whole, all while making things significantly more dangerous for American troops abroad...

Rich people can and will maintain industries that cater to the top 5%. But a lot of industries are geared entirely toward the middle and working classes who have no wealthy patrons to make up for them.

Bus rides typically take around 4 times longer than a car ride but the difference is that while you are bussing you can just chill on the internet like you were going to do at home anyway.

Kristi Noem isn’t on the chopping block because she’s cruel and heartless. She’s on the chopping block because she’s not arresting enough immigrant workers.
This is where we are in America.

Such bullshit, fascism-abetting framing by the NYTimes. Authoritarians like Trump cultivate and then make use of xenophobic racism and cruelty—something that has very little at all to do with immigration realities. Stop giving liberal cover to this fascist rhetoric.

This is how the economy works now. You kiss the ass of the top guy, he throws you favors. There is no ideology here, it's just mafia rules, the oldest rules in the book.
random farmer to Trump on what his child said to him: "He said, 'Daddy, I don't want Santa Claus to come to our house for Christmas, I want President Trump.' I think you brought Christmas to farmers with this bridge payment."

You could poll 1000 people who have a Confederate flag on their car and 955 would say their politics aren't motivated by racism. People lie with their mouths and kill with their hands.

I've reached out to ABC News and parent company Disney for comment about Trump abusing reporter Rachel Scott, a Black woman journalist, calling her "obnoxious" and "a terrible reporter."

We are experiencing a civil war. Not one fought with guns and bullets but one fought with paper in legislatures and courts.
The country has fractured into Blue and Red states, where your rights and protections vary widely. We are no longer one country, but two.

I think “the president’s allies are promising to destroy media institutions the president doesn’t like to curry favor with him” is very bad, actually
New WSJ reporting: "During a December visit to Washington, David Ellison offered assurances to Trump administration officials that if he bought Warner, he'd make sweeping changes to CNN, a common target of President Trump's ire, people familiar with the matter said..."
Behind Paramount’s Relentless Campaign to Woo Warner Discovery and President Trump
David Ellison has launched a hostile takeover bid for Warner Discovery, taking his case directly to shareholders after Netflix clinched a deal.

watching this 1995 documentary about nuclear weapons tests and while nuclear weapons are, in general, an insane weapon, nuclear artillery seems even more insane? what do you mean you want tactical nukes to use on the battlefield?

This is your regular reminder that catastrophic illness and disability is often financially devastating.
It’s not a moral failing.
It can happen to anyone at anytime.

ICE is out of control. They're operating with impunity. They're doing things and getting away with stuff that regular cops, even your typical federal agents, can't do.
And we're just sitting back and taking it all in why?

ICE is going after people who commit fewer crimes than U.S. born citizens. They're robbing people, hurting people, using racial profiling, violating due process, hurting children, and going after American citizens while they do. This is an illegal criminal enterprise from head to toe.
