Fox/OAN/Breitbart et al tell you what the 1% want you to believe. The rest of corporate broadcast and online media limit the discussion to that which the 1% wants you to have.

"Mr Nobody Against Putin" is definitive proof of why Western leaders still talking about negotiating peace with Putin are fools at best. This isn't my Soviet paranoia or saber-rattling. This is the raw truth of Russia, a country twisted into a nightmare for perpetual war.

Do what you can to […]

1. Over Thanksgiving, texts from Dem. Sen Ruben Gallego leaked where he repeats far-right talking points on masculinity, lamenting that Democratic women "look like men."

Using far-right gender-panic rhetoric will not ingratiate the Democratic Party towards men.

Lol, Zillow tried to rate the climate risks facing individual properties. The real estate industry *hated* it, precisely because it worked -- it made selling risky properties more difficult. So they rebelled & Zillow caved.

Don't look up!

There are specific reasons Trumpists want war on Venezuela, but there‘s a generic one: they crave power to make war on anyone, any time, for completely fabricated reasons, and then to use the guise of war to increase violence and repression everywhere, including home.

They are lawless bestial scum.

The White House’s new anti-media website includes denunciations of:

-ABC, which bribed the president
-CBS, which bribed the president and moved away from fact-based journalism trying to appeal to him and his fans
-WaPo, which spiked a Harris endorsement and tilts coverage in Trump’s favor

Fools.

RFK Jr. is against vaccines that have been proven to be safe and effective, because he claims they aren’t tested enough.

At the same time, he promotes supplements and IV peptides that aren’t approved or regulated by the FDA or any other body.
