Straw Into Gold

Every single person whoever reads any news story about Elon Musk and his wealth should think to themselves that this man lied and lied for years to stay illegally in the US and then had American taxpayers fund his lifestyle for years and then made a trillion dollars off our backs
Musk is the leading example of an illegal immigrant living off public welfare in human history and the man spends every day pretending the real problem is a woman cleaning motel rooms in West Murfreesboro Our species has let this evil man prosper and we will pay the price for it
This week, Trump and the Republican Party have been rehearsing the rhetoric we’re likely to hear again in this fall’s midterms. In response to the results of the Los Angeles mayoral primary, they declared the election invalid without offering any plausible explanation for how that could be so.
“Immigrant stokes worldwide anti-immigrant violence” is a trippy and disturbing irony. Anyone else wondering whatever happened to The Golden Rule we were taught as children?

The death of a woman from Haiti seeking asylum in the U.S. who died from hypothermia days after her release from federal custody was ruled a homicide by a Pennsylvania county medical examiner's office.

Mark this moment. This is where the endgame begins—though it might take two years to play out. A President of the United States is openly linking the *Pentagon* and rigging elections for his party. He is framing an authoritarian takeover as something the *U.S. military* wants.
The media now started calling Beirut's southern suburbs a "Hezbollah stronghold." Dahiyeh is a densely populated part of a capital city. Striking entire civilian neighborhoods is not counterterrorism. It's a war crime.

Literally all the referees, including the American ones, should boycott. But nobody will because most people excuse racism unless it's happening to them personally.
Al Jazeera English@aljazeera.com · 2mo agoAward-winning Somali referee, Omar Abdulkadir Artan, has been removed from the World Cup roster after being denied entry to the US despite holding a valid visa.
Unconscionable of US. 113°-122°F 20,000 civilians 11 towns No drinkable water A “proportional response” to 1 helicopter with pilots unharmed that shouldn’t have been in their airspace? Iran hasn’t even claimed responsibility.
Leana Hosea@leanahosea.bsky.social · 2mo agoThe tanks supplied water to around 20,000 residents in the city of Kuhestak + 10 surrounding villages in the Bemani district of Iran. Temperatures in the region are currently between 45 and 50°C. The situation for people there is unthinkable. www.ft.com/content/155d...
The NYT has spent weeks trying to destroy Graham Platner—a vet with a history of PTSD, depression, and alcoholism resulting from his public service—so I thought I'd see how the same outlet covers a soon-to-be trillionaire whose actions in 2025 *doomed 14 million people to death*.
Graham Platner came home with PTSD from the wars Susan Collins sent him into. It’s astonishing how the media turns our damaged soldiers into irredeemable monsters and the senators who send them into wars get a free pass.

I went to Delaney Hall to follow up on conversations I had this morning with family members of detainees. ICE and GEO Group did not let me speak with detainees. Why do they insist on hiding the truth even after getting almost $1 billion of tax dollars?
You want a vision of "positive manhood"? Stop being afraid of being like women. Stop refusing to admit women can be like you. Can be better than you, even. And stop maiming and killing and destroying in order to preserve that fiction of superiority.
Endless corruption: “A group of lawmakers demanded answers from the White House following a ProPublica investigation revealing a top aide to the president intervened to secure a $620 million Pentagon loan to a startup linked to his eldest son.” www.propublica.org/article/dona...

I'm so glad Amanda & Ana Clara came to Rewire with this story. As in the US, teen pregnancy is WAY down in Brazil. And just as in the US, conservatives aren't celebrating. Why? Because this change happened with the rollout of universal, free birth control--incl for postpartum girls as young as 10.
Brazil Cut Teen Pregnancy With Free Birth Control. Conservatives Aren’t Happy.
Brazil's free birth control program led to a sharp drop in teen pregnancy rates, but a right-wing backlash now threatens this public health success.

For months, activists with #ICEoutofNJ, which includes the immigrant rights group @cosecha.bsky.social, @paxchristiusa.bsky.social, and @newlabor.bsky.social, have been protesting outside privately owned detention center, Delaney Hall, where mostly Latino immigrants, are jailed without due process.

“… Ken Paxton released Adam Hoffman — a self-admitted child sex abuser — from jail after one of Paxton’s wealthy lawyer friends got involved in the case.” “Paxton even kept him off the sex offender registry. Now Hoffman is back on our streets because of Ken Paxton’s corruption.”
Meet our opponent: Ken Paxton
He is the most corrupt politician in America, and it isn’t even close.

@brandyzadrozny.bsky.social While I appreciate the thoroughness & professionalism of your Sasha Riley investigation, it seemed pertinent to mention that Enterprise, AL is close to the very popular Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail.
