I fundamentally do not know how to square the politics whereby Democrats will essentially have to tell the American people that because they (the voters) made an extremely stupid decision, they need to lower their expectations substantially for the foreseeable future, but here we are.

The United States Treasury: An ATM for the Rich and Powerful

its very telling that the mainstream media narrative is that dsa has wacky and unreasonable positions when the republican party position is that abortion should be banned, latino families should be put in concentration camps, black people should be shot by cops and transgender people shouldnt exist

Just so everyone knows, by confirming Todd Blanche, this means that Trump can become a full-blown dictator. GOP Congress has said they will do absolutely nothing to stop Trump. Todd Blanche says he will do anything that Trump asks. The 6-3 Supreme Court is corrupt. All we have left are lower courts.

Can I get a FUCK AIPAC?

Facts suck, if you're delusional and in a cult.

We are deciding whether we want to be a country of ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.

BREAKING — Another person died at Delaney Hall. The family of Edwin Lopez Cornejo (age 39) said he was not receiving the medications required to treat his diabetes, and blames his death on the lack of medical care (via USA Today). www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

This Thursday, SpaceX insiders will be released from their first post-IPO stock lockup and can cash out early. As I've been saying, this has all the hallmarks of a Ponzi scheme.

I had to code and pronounce a time of death on a respiratory therapist colleague. There's a memorial plaque for her outside the emergency department to this day. I wrote and re-wrote my will. I will never forgive these ghouls trying to rewrite history and deny our experience.

RFK Jr said these words today on national television "There were ICUs that were empty all over the country including in New York at the height (of the pandemic)" hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha You are a fucking idiot hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha <sobs silently>

The takeaway chart for me.

Transportation secretary Sean Duffy benefited from millions in corporate donations to make a show about road trips. But two months after Duffy said the show would premiere, it doesn't appear to exist at all. My latest False Flag @thebulwark.com: www.thebulwark.com/p/what-the-h...

We’ve been saying this for a while now many of the people being targeted are just fishermen. Evidence now supports that the United States has killed individuals who were not involved in drug trafficking during its “counternarcotics interdiction operations” in the Caribbean and Pacific.

It’s astounding how little these two men, forced from politics by the evil of Trump, have asked in return or been willing to resist even as independent as they are now. The only conclusion is that they’re actually just fine about [waves hands] all this.

Tillis and Cornyn announced they will now vote for Blanche. Now the question is, can he get confirmed before August recess starts?

Good piece. A thread on some comments I made yesterday on Times Radio. Two things can be true at the same time: 1. It’s very bad to have 60,000 people storm a border, and 70+ deaths. 2. European leaders' responses were opportunistic and disproportionate, and made incidents like this more likely.

While this is good news, there's no getting away from the fact that every one of these national associations should be ashamed of ever having supported the re-election of someone they knew to be totally unfit for office. They condemn themselves even as they condemn Infantino.

Harvey & Joyce's adopted daughter Danielle is trying to raise funds to deal with Pekar's raw archive; basically four storage lockers full of notes, outlines, ideas, etc. Note this is not Pekar's comics per se. Those rights have been tied up in court for years. Long, ugly story. Worth backing.

Still can’t over the fact that the president of the United States just told an entire state to pound sand after getting cyberattacked by a foreign adversary because they didn’t vote for him and it was treated like a Tuesday lol

I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet

I can tell you right now that the hospital next door to me in New York had its hallways filled with patients, and a refrigerated trailer in back for the bodies.

If I was this stupid and incompetent, I would be out of a job... just saying.

Heed the warning.

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

Uncomfortable

I think it’s good we are relitigating public health measures while RFK Jr is on TV ranting like the lunatic he is
