Reporter: Did you speak with the oil companies before the operation? Did you tip them off? Trump: Before and after. They want to go in and they’re going to do a great job.

okay now that you all have gotten a taste of America's rational and predictable new trade policy, everyone who wants to build your new factories here just form an orderly line

Boomers 🤝 GenZ: Watching insta reels in the doctors office at full volume.

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

I can't put into words just how much rage I feel towards Biden. His hubris and arrogance to run for reelection led us to this moment. He was the wrong president at the worst time. His failures will stay with us for decades and will ultimately destroy this country by allowing a fascist takeover.

i have too much work to do today to ruminate on the fact that four years ago, i covered the riot at the capitol in disguise because proud boys had circulated my picture with instructions to attack me on sight & now they’re all about to get pardons.

RIP Jimmy Carter, a man so moral, decent and godly that he spent the last 44 years of his life apologizing for being president.

When I said I would do anything for my family and my country I only meant stuff I already like doing, like shooting guns for instance. If I have to do something annoying like conserve resources then obviously I'm not willing to do that

BREAKING: Starbucks Workers United is going on strike. Tomorrow unionized Starbucks workers are walking out in multiple key cities. And @sbworkersunited.org's rolling strike will grow in the coming days. 537 stores and 10,000+ workers are in the union and could potentially strike.

BREAKING: The biggest strike against Amazon in U.S. history is happening right now. The Teamsters are picketing facilities across the country. The union has organized workers at 10 Amazon locations AND they're putting up picket lines at hundreds of other Amazon sites nationwide.

On the scene of the Amazon strike in Maspeth, the NYPD is trying to break the picket, engaging in arrests of union members and engaging in physical confrontations with workers and their supporters.

The Teamsters will launch the largest strike against Amazon in U.S. history beginning at 6 a.m. EST on Thurs., Dec. 19. The nationwide action follows Amazon’s repeated refusal to follow the law and bargain with the thousands of Amazon workers who organized with the Teamsters. Let's fucking go! 🔥

84 yo nancy pelosi, whipping votes against AOC from her hospital bed in germany, where she needed to have her hip replaced after falling and fracturing it, is just too on the nose. the dem gerontocracy is why precautionary folk tales about the undead exist.

democrats love to be like “we lost the last election and life is going to be incalculably worse for everyone for decades. they’re angry and ready to do something over the issue of healthcare. we have to stop them from caring immediately”

A bill to break up UnitedHealth, CVS, Cigna and more has been introduced by a bipartisan group of U.S. senators and representatives. The legislation would force insurers to sell their pharmacy businesses. It aims to combat PBMs, pharma middlemen who drive up costs.

For those confused about South Korea, an “opposition party” is a political party that actively opposes the one in power.

I find it very rude that other countries keep dunking on us by not rewarding coups

The Korean Confederation of Trade Unions has announced that it will begin an indefinite general strike tomorrow, demanding the immediate resignation of President Yoon Suk-yeol.

with Biden’s lockstep support for genocide in Gaza, there emerged a cottage industry of excuse-making, ranging from Feigned Helplessness to 18 dimensional chess to the Israel lobby forcing him. As he exits office, I propose a simpler explanation: he just agrees w/ it therealnews.com/biden-suppor...

Fake behind-the-scenes maneuvering, supposed electoral necessity: all cover to avoid the unseemly fact that Biden simply supports genocide in Gaza because he thinks it’s justified.

A thing everyone has forgotten is that Donald Trump basically sprang Roger Stone from prison so he could help with the coup and it was maybe a one day story.

The lawyer that represented Asian students who helped break Affirmative because they thought Black students were less qualified and shouldn't have gotten in. is now suing because Asian enrollment is down at select Ivy-league schools. Come to find out, it is white students who have always benefited.
