Any belief held to the extreme is wrong, be it religious, political or personal. Any kind of extremism is ultimately evil.
Rent isn’t high by accident, it’s high because 9 landlords colluded with an algorithm called RealPage to fix prices behind your back. Kris Mayes sued every single one of them. This is what a real fighter looks like, and it’s why she deserves your vote, AZ! #BlueWaveIn90Days
Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.

“Dude, you are the government.” RFK Jr. tells Dana Bash the press should be more skeptical of authority, then bristles when she questions him. @saletan.bsky.social calls out the hypocrisy.

tRump and Musk’s DOGE delayed a $10M wildfire prevention grant in Minnesota and laid off a third of the Forest Service. Now the forests that should’ve been thinned are burning. This is what their “efficiency” actually brought us — more destruction. 😡 Is anyone surprised? www.ms.now/news/doge-cu...

Gary is a hero without a cape that speaks truth to power. He is seeing through the system and explains how broken it is, and everyone should listen to what he says. The Status Quo is bad, the trajectory we’re on is absolutely appallingly terrible. We must force governments to act or end up enslaved

The pedophile-protector party is going to confirm President Epstein’s personal lawyer to be the top cop in the land. We have reached peak pedocracy.
The coming lies. I have written about LLM grooming - the process where large language models are intentionally poisoned with lies & disinfo. Here Meta is beginning the process of feeding us RW lies presented as news. Be aware. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy popular.info/p/meta-will-...

This week, Newsmax — a far-right news organization with a strong allegiance to President Trump and a history of pushing wild conspiracy theories — announced it had struck a deal with Meta.

Our world is a tinderbox as we approach 1.5C above preindustrial temps. We’re locked in for at least 2C, & on track for 4C in our children’s ‘lifetimes’. Tumbleweeds as we wait for governments, the media & the public to provide a proportionate response to this information.
A month after Air Force Major Jason Watson was arrested on the Capitol steps calling for Trump and Vance’s impeachment, D.C. prosecutors have declined to pursue the criminal charge against him. He still faces action from the Air Force. Stay critical. Stay informed.
UEFA has given FIFA President Gianni Infantino an ultimatum: resign or face a no-confidence vote, The Telegraph reports . It says all 55 members would back it. Only 43 votes are needed.
I'm going to repeat this for the benefit of those who deny the truth of our reality by willingly subjecting themselves to cognitive hearing loss. Is Trump the threat? Yes, he is a short-term threat, but the long-term threat to the American experiment in democracy comes from the GOP. /1
1/ 🧵 Fifteen corporate Dems just signed a pro-capitalism manifesto insisting socialists cannot win. Days later a new poll shows swing voters want fighters, not corporate comfort. Someone is lying to protect their donors & dismissing the rage of the base #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Anne Frank wasn’t beat or shot to death. She died of typhus due to unhygienic conditions in her concentration camp. ICE isn’t just killing the people it shoots. A detention center is just a death camp by a different name. And they’re quietly murdering everyday. Post Here: interactink.vercel.app
You know what really hurts? Knowing that if it were 9 people killed and 33 hurt in Warsaw, Brussels or New York - world reaction would be sky different . feeling dispensable hurts
The US National Debt has now crossed $40 trillion dollars. That's an increase of nearly $4 trillion since Trump took office. Remember those campaign promises about cutting spending? Remember how DOGE gutted education, highways, health care, and other areas? So, where is all that money going?
America’s legal system To practice law: —4 year degree, LSAT, 3 year JD, pass BAR, buy malpractice insurance, total cost ~$300K To enforce law: —Here’s paid 13-week training & a gun To write law: —0 qualifications needed, a billionaire can buy your seat Vote only for people funded by people.❤️✊🏽
Zelensky urged partners to provide additional Patriot interceptor missiles, saying anti-ballistic weapons should protect people rather than remain in storage. He also called for wider G7 sanctions on entities supporting Russia's missile production and efforts to restore its refineries. #Ukraine
Wenn das ein hybrider Angriff gewesen wäre, um Europas Entschlossenheit, Zusammenhalt und Reaktionsfähigkeit zu testen, dann hat Europa den Test nicht bestanden. Das ist auch eine der Lehren der letzten 48 Stunden.

The Reflecting Pool debacle is a perfect example of why Trump corruption matters. Goons get fat contracts to do craptastic government work. They get rich. Taxpayers get ripped off. And when people point it out, the feds hammer them into silence. We used to mock Communists for this garbage.
