Media coverage of Trump’s armed robbery of Venezuela's oil shows “a news industry that has been laundered of a basic sense of right and wrong. Shockingly few people in the media are asking: Do we really want to be a country that blows people up and steals from them?” My Stop the Presses newsletter.

Trump’s armed robbery in Venezuela draws values-free coverage

A “might is right” mentality consumes our government and infects the media

Here's how to support unhoused Angelenos during LA’s hottest week of the year: Frozen water bottles can help unhoused people fend off heat illness, and advocates and that encampment sweeps should be paused during dangerous heatwaves. lapublicpress.org/2026/08/how-...

Republicans and Christian nationalists are running the Project 2025 playbook on us all by making our food less safe and endangering all of our lives. They are doing this intentionally, and it is not privileged information. How are we, as a society, allowing this to happen?

The National Guard did not arrive at the US Capitol building until three hours after Trump’s mob stormed it at his urging. The United States Capitol building. And he is once again the President. I don’t know why this thought came to me just now. Or why I’m writing. It’s just crazy.

Elon Musk and all of his DOGE operatives and health-saboteurs should be imprisoned for endangering all life on earth in favor of Vibes and general stupidity. It is not in any sense a “conspiracy theory” to make a claim for their criminal indifference towards life on earth for profit.

Regardless of political affiliation, beliefs, and biases, we should all be able to share the understanding of one thing in common: Second by second, Donald Trump makes everyone on the planet less and less safe.

Trump is now calling all of the performers who have dropped out of his US state fair “third rate has beens”…Motherfucker, you and your people booked them in the first place. Why does all of this have to be so goddamned stupid?

Fuck all of em. Trump and MAGA, tech dipshits, Netanyahu, Larry Ellison and his network of bought propaganda machines, those behind this stupid and catastrophic redistricting fiasco, and the weak corporate left enabling all of this…The list goes and on and on and on and on and on and on and on…

VA AG Jay Jones: "My team is carefully reviewing this unprecedented order and we are evaluating every legal pathway forward to defend the will of the people and protect the integrity of Virginia’s elections."

Attorney General Jay Jones Statement Regarding Supreme Court of Virginia Decision in Redistricting Case RICHMOND, Va.- Attorney General Jay Jones released the following statement in response to the Virginia Supreme Court decision in Virginia's redistricting case. "Today the Supreme Court of Virginia has chosen to put politics over the rule of law by issuing a ruling that overturns the April 21st special election on redistricting. This decision silences the voices of the millions of Virginians who cast their ballots in every corner of the Commonwealth, and it fuels the growing fears across our nation about the state of our democracy. As Attorney General, it is my job to enforce the laws on the books and defend the will of the people. Before the Court, my office clearly laid out both in filings and oral arguments that this constitutional amendment process and voter ratification occurred in a timely, constitutionally-compliant, and legally sound manner. The Republican-led majority of the Supreme Court of Virginia contorted the plain language of the Constitution and Code of Virginia to give it a meaning that was never intended, which allowed them to reach the wrong legal conclusion that fit their political agenda. The consequences of their error are grave. The strength and stability of our democracy depends on adherence to the rule of law, the execution of free and fair elections where every eligible voter can cast their ballots to choose their leaders, and public trust in the institutions that provide accountability and protect our democratic processes. This Court’s ruling follows a dangerous trend of tilting power away from the people. My team is carefully reviewing this unprecedented order and we are evaluating every legal pathway forward to defend the will of the people and protect the integrity of Virginia’s elections."

Fox News and their ilk have successfully propagandized middle class MAGA into thinking of Billionaires as heroes of their cause. It is in grotesque amazement that we watch poor people in America root for their oppressors if only in order to stop anyone else from politically helping them.

The upper class and people who own, run, and operate these companies do not send their children to wars, and definitely not to schools where there are screens and AI used to mentally incapacitated their children. Shame on @adamschiff.com www.404media.co/literacy-in-...

Fuck Tucker Carlson. Kind of having my mind blown by the amount of “watch this” nonsense people are posting attached to his crocodile-teared “apology for supporting Trump” performance. He’s just fleeing the sinking ship to save his own skin just as any other little rat would.
