Food companies wanted deregulation. Now there are dozens of recalls across the country. Mining companies wanted deregulation. Now the black lung rate is at a 45-year high. Financial companies wanted deregulation. Now financial losses to fraud are the highest on record. Noticing a pattern?

The president has a lady Renfield that sleeps in the White House crawlspace and travels in the wheel well of Airforce 1 and prints out his posts for him on a portable printer and wipes the poo poo off of his giant ass and that's supposed to be funny?

I also think it's normal for regular normal blonde American women to work as hard as possible for years to get close to one of the most disgusting repellent men possible and further beg him through romantic self flagellation to tell her his personal secrets again and more often

I think it's normal for "[US president name] + young blonde woman + trunk of car" to be a valid search term that results in many stories about the US president keeping a young blonde woman in the trunk of his car

If you need a quick timeline cleanse today, this story from earlier this week is incredible. An Oklahoma dog went missing and turned up 1,000 miles away in North Carolina a couple weeks later. Safe, healthy, and reunited via microchip. 👇

I am not surprised that Curtis Yarvin and Elon Musk — two incredibly dumb men who want to be seen as geniuses — want to destroy all of academia.

'mere' authoritarians seek to capture the state & a few key sectors for fascists, every institution must brought low & made complicit in the new social order

#worldnews An open campaign to kill scholars? I thought we would get here by 2028. Resistance has been stronger, so the appeals to violence have arrived ahead of schedule.

Profound.

The Navy planned to name a future aircraft carrier after a Black naval hero. A sailor. A trailblazer. Someone whose service represented courage, sacrifice, and the long, difficult history of Black Americans in the armed forces. Now that plan may be scrapped so the ship can be named after Trump.

No US aircraft carrier has ever been named after a sitting president

Under Trump, Protected Wild Horses Are Going to Slaughter The government can spend more than $3,000 to capture a mustang and bring it to market, but sells each for as little as $25. A horse can fetch up to $750 at a slaughter plant, keeping buyers coming. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/20/u...

A legal loophole allows the government to sell mustangs on the cheap, stripping them of protections and clearing their path to destruction.

They think we haven't noticed the coordinated tsunami of dead cats that the (now Farage owned) right wing media are throwing to distract from the £5 million bung investigation. The hive mind all acting in unison.

My crack at Natalie Harp mania. She's obviously a stone cold weirdo, but what's more telling is how the White House is hyper-defensive about she clings to Trump like a barnacle. Having a full-time babysitter draws attention to Trump's age. www.salon.com/2026/08/19/t...

William Wan at WaPo reported a story SIX YEARS AGO about Natalie Harp’s apparently BS claim that a law change in Trump’s first term helped her beat cancer. Outlets repeating her claim without caveats should…add some caveats. Hat tip @schooley.bsky.social archive.is/Zf4hf

Woah.

Trump's covert surveillance of anti-ICE protesters is much worse than we thought. I dug into this and found that DHS agents secretly spied on over a dozen meetings of left-leaning groups, all protected by First Amendment. The details are unnerving. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2144...

Let me get this right? There’s been a massive number of lynchings in the US over the past year and we are not hearing about this from the NYT, WaPo, LA Times, or any other major outlet? Can we get @propublica.org to cover this?

In 2013, I read Manna by Marshall Brain and started looking for answers as to how to make the 2nd half of the book real instead of the 1st half. He supported universal basic income as the way, so I started studying it and was surprised to find all the supporting evidence screaming we should do it.

In 2009 I asked what’s common to humanity’s problems. Kept landing on one answer: people need passive income. Googled it. Found UBI. Read Thomas Paine Agrarian Justice on land, property, and the right to a share of the earth’s value. Conclusion: “not charity but a right, not bounty but justice.”
