if a company has profits, and can afford stock buybacks, why are they getting tax breaks? Any company that is showing profits and laying people off, shouldn’t be able to get tax breaks.

Historian of abolition here 💯Garrison always called it the slaveholders rebellion, that’s the correct term. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/02/o...

To face our own history, we must be honest about it.

Platner: credible accusations if abuse. Dems: “You’re out” Max Miller: pours boiling water on his wife, holds a gun to her head and fractures their daughters collar bone Jim Jordan: “he is a great man, I’m working to get him re-elected” Never let them tell you both parties are the same.
How is Ken Paxton able to own at least 15 real estate properties worth around $9 million—including a $1 million property in Hawaii with an ocean view—on his government salary of $153,000 per year? Explain it to me like I’m five.
Jeanine Pirro should be disbarred. It is absolutely indefensible and gross misconduct to rush through a criminal indictment for political reasons before an investigation has been completed, which resulted in false evidence being presented to a grand jury.
I agree with @drsandman11.medsky.social: If you didn't look like this & doing everything you can to prevent people from dying during the pandemic, maybe think twice before judging Dr. Fauci.
To be clear, the orange felon lied about vandalism at the Reflecting Pool to pretend he didn’t hire his fellow criminal fraud contractors to deliberately destroy it because he’s a hateful trashy jealous vindictive fuckwad. It wasn’t flawed work, it’s exactly what he wanted.
The administration is currently floating the idea of knocking out energy targets in Iran, but to wrap the bombing up before the stock market opens on Monday. These are not serious people.
Gerrymandering lets politicians choose their voters instead of the other way around. Until we end that, it will remain difficult to achieve the things most Americans already agree on.
The people who falsely accused an Olympian of vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool are the same people telling you to trust them about the war with Iran
So many sneering elitist journalists with snarky posts over the past months that the Reflecting Pool story was trivial. It was so trivial that the DC US Attny presented false evidence to a grand jury to indict an innocent man to please the President while they both lied about it.
Let’s not forget that this illegal Reflecting Pool indictment was also overseen by Todd Blanche. He could have stopped this at any time, but he was a corrupt and willing accomplice to this fraud upon the court. How can any decent person possibly vote for this man as AG?
🔥 “I’m so sick and tired of you old people not giving a shit about what we’re telling you. We don’t have a future. We’re telling you what we need and you don’t give a damn.”
I wish someone had told me when I was younger that adults don’t actually have their shit together and everyone is still just a kid who’s faking it.
France calls out the U.S. at a UN meeting: “The US used to be a beacon of human rights. Not anymore. Today, it stands alongside North Korea, Nicaragua, Mali and Russia. Isolated. And the world no longer listens to it.” U.S. representatives stormed out of the meeting. Well said France! 👏🏼🇫🇷👏🏼
Louisiana ranks as the worst state in the country for the 2nd consecutive year. Note: Republicans have had full control of the State Legislature since 2011. -Republicans currently have the full trifecta of a Super majority Legislature, with a Republican Governor.
If you defend rapey shit-stains like Andrew Tate and Donald Trump, don’t be surprised when women don’t feel safe around you. People pay attention to what you’re willing to defend.
Republicans' base are war contractors, corporate agribusiness, and Trump loyalists who want to stay in power. Their base is not you. $73B for Iran. $12B for farms. $10B for voting restrictions. House votes 4pm ET today. RING THEIR PHONES OFF THE HOOK! (202) 224-3121 #HealthcareNotWarfare
All these Dem attacks on DSA and other left-leaning orgs are happening because socialism is getting more popular and it terrifies the rich. They know their power depends on people believing in their empty promises, and they’d rather attack us instead of fighting for anything good
We've spent all summer killing civilians in Ukraine. @amnesty.org's account hasn't mentioned it once. Wonder why.
Folks seem surprised that Trump would lie about election interference while simultaneously releasing documents that prove he was lying. When you have followers who will regurgitate whatever you say regardless of the evidence, the truth doesn’t actually matter.
OSSOFF: I heard a president who is, as always, focused on his personal shame and humiliation, and above all, focused on his personal fear of the accountability that will come when we win this fall
