To give a sense of scale, Musk is spending more on the midterms than he was on the 2024 election, and he was the biggest donor in that election. In 2025 he promised to pull back from politics and do much less political spending. Another lie.

The idea that it's just "too hard" to tax the wealthy is one of the most frustrating cases of learned helplessness I've ever seen.
LOL Ukraine hit a Russian data center and Russian bot activity immediately dropped to practically zero. Elon is mad hahahahahaha

China home car sales downturn continues, exports retain momentum
China's domestic car sales extended their decline for a 12th successive month, while exports remained a key growth driver as automakers looked overseas to cushion the impact of a sluggish home market.

Do you think unbending Clippy until he was a long piece of metal would be painful for him. Or do you think it would cause him to feel a great sense of relief
If you or I did this, it would be attempted murder. When an ICE agent does this, it is also attempted murder. The headline should read, "ATTEMPTED MURDER BY ICE AGENT CAUGHT ON VIDEO."
Watch an ICE agent run down and then run over a man. The man was was then writhing on the ground, saying "You broke my leg! You broke my leg!" Agents didn't help him. And btw, the man wasn't the target of their operation.

However, the surveillance video appears to show the SUV veering left through empty parking spaces before running the man over..." abc7.com/story/ice-ru...
Only in America can you get shot by carjackers and it's your fault, because the carjackers are part of a secret police force that target people based on the color of their skin.
They need to pursue justice, retribution is what Trump is trying to do to those who attempted to bring him to justice. Justice may well involve imprisoning and requiring restitution from members of the administration, including Trump, but it should never be vindictive.

This canary is no more! It has ceased to be! It's expired and gone to meet its maker! This is a late canary! Bereft of life, it rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed it to the perch, it would be pushing up the daisies! It's rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. This is an ex-canary!

Steve Bannon called it flooding the zone. Make so much noise and mayhem in rapid succession to wear people down and make them feel overwhelmed.
You can't ban propaganda in the U.S. and shouldn't want to: whoever holds power decides what counts. What works: fund local news, enforce defamation law (see Dominion), make platforms transparent, require clear disclosure, teach media literacy. Slower, but it works no matter who's in office.
I never thought I'd have to say this after Tennessee v. Garner, but here we are: FLIGHT IS NOT A CAPITAL OFFENSE.
I love Bernie, but I hate watching the left adopt household-budget framing. Cutting spending is not something the federal government does TO 'afford' tax breaks. They are distinct mechanisms. Kicking people off healthcare is class warfare; it’s not an accounting necessity.
FactPost@factpostnews.bsky.social · 2d agoBernie Sanders: 15 million people were thrown off their healthcare in order to give a trillion dollars in tax breaks to the top 1%. You have got to end Republican control of the Senate.
Maybe let's not give each other high fives until we actually win and start seeing consequences, and instead vote and help others get to the booths and volunteer whenever and however we can
Poverty, as a policy decision, is terrible for the economy.
At first I was like "geez, how fascinating would it be to meet someone who lacks the capacity to feel embarrassed." Then I remembered that it's 2026 and my federal government seems to be run by such people.
ᴅɪꜰꜰᴇʀᴇɴᴢᴍᴀꜱᴄʜɪɴᴇ@autokafka.bsky.social · 2d agoI knew this guy who got in a car accident and damaged his frontal lobes. He lost the capacity to feel embarrassment. He simply talked to everyone he found hot out. It worked, like, at least once a week. This is a dude with a Frankenstein forehead we are talking about.

The now weirdly pervasive idea that ICE are lunatics while police are trained, organized, and actively trying to protect us is proof that copaganda is a constantly-evolving art form.
What the hell is us with the skeleton gloves??? Also, would you stop if someone in plain clothes started pulling at your door handle and aiming a gun at him. And he still has the bullet in him?!?!!! WTF?!?!
