From me, a list of Trump supporters who killed, or tried to kill, Democrats and opponents of Trump in recent years (since the right are now claiming all the political violence is from the left!)

a clever pundit would ask their roundtable, "let's say you've never heard of Charlie before this moment, what are some favorite clips or views of his that will let those viewers understand him? What was he saying about current events? "
you read these fawning obituaries of what a shining political star he was, who was doing all the right things (if a little “divisive”), and then you go looking for what he said and believed, and it’s like “stone gay people to death” and “we must allow children to die to preserve our gun rights”

It's not normal for an American president to send troops to American cities in times of peace.

All famines are man-made, all famines are political. Historians of empire and humanitarianism have known this forever. Gaza is not starving, Gaza is being starved, by Israel, and this starvation is enabled by our government and by every other government that does not step in to force food and aid.

I’ve been investigating Paramount’s deal with Trump. Here’s what we know:
- Trump sued CBS
- CBS called the lawsuit “meritless”
- Paramount (owner of CBS) still settled, handing $16 MILLION+ to Trump’s library
- Paramount has a billion-dollar deal that needs Trump’s approval
- Trump sued CBS
- CBS called the lawsuit “meritless”
- Paramount (owner of CBS) still settled, handing $16 MILLION+ to Trump’s library
- Paramount has a billion-dollar deal that needs Trump’s approval
CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery.
America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.
Watch and share his message.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”
They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

In other words, he promised repeatedly during the campaign he had a secret plan to end the war in 24 hours and he was just bullshitting everyone because he doesn’t have the first clue what to do, he gave away all negotiating leverage months ago, and his special envoy is a dope.

AOC: We heard that we should take your word that Medicaid will be protected — that we should trust you that no one is going to be affected by this. But as a woman, the word was given that my rights would not be taken away by the Supreme Court — and that wasn’t true.

This is what a rigged economy looks like:
In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker.
In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker.
This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker.
That has got to change.
