Remember: Telling lies that everyone knows are lies is a classic tactic of dictators to force their followers to side with them over the truth itself. But the public will not be gaslit. We will continue to spread the truth to our communities. Ignorance is the handmaiden of tyranny.

25 years ago today, George W. Bush signed the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force into law. Barbara Lee was the only member of Congress to vote against it, warning it would be a blank check for forever wars. History has proven her lonely and courageous vote right.

Big news!
There are giant gaps in what COULD exist vs what does, in SO many areas of our top universities these days. Education, journalism, sociology, law, etc - are badly ideologically captured and broken.

Elizabeth Warren, AOC, and other members of Congress have introduced a bill to ban private equity funds from owning or controlling medical practices. This is a big deal. Here’s what you need to know about the shady private equity industry and how it operates.

Here’s your daily reminder that when you go to cast your ballot in November please vote all the way down the ballot. The further down you go, those races really do get closer to your front door and ultimately your wallet. Let’s turn these laboratories of autocracy back into democracy.

comic strip!
panel 1
A woman speaks to a man
woman- Can I grab your dick when you're least expecting it? That's what I'm into

panel 2
man- Sure. But I'm kind of expecting it now

panel 3
woman- Oh, it isn't going to happen now.
It isn't going to happen soon

panel 4
woman- It will happen WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT

panel 5
the man fights spiky green enemies of some sort.
he stands on a big chunk of cracked masonry.
It's what, underground? It all seems very green for some reason.

panel 6
the man looks down

panel 7
man- Still sort of expecting it

panel 8
we see that the woman has slithered up through the crack in the masonry and holds up a hand between the man's legs.

woman- Fuck's sake

wingnut grifter-provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos got nabbed by ICE, and MAGA is shitting their pants, because it happened to one of their own. boo fucking hoo, crybabies. thank you for your attention to today post, in which I document the atrocities. link is here: bit.ly/4qLBF20
wait a minute, wait a minute — are you telling me that the fascist little shit who called for ICE checkpoints everywhere, with swift deportations for anyone found to be in the country illegally, got nabbed at an ICE checkpoint and was swiftly deported after being found in the country illegally?

holy fuck, I think I’m overdosing on schadenfreude right now.

Do you want to know how popular school vouchers are? They have never won on a ballot. Not once. In any state. Ever. The only way states are able pass a school voucher scheme is behind closed doors. Legislatively. The people would never approve their tax dollars going to private religious schools.

Dear Dem leaders: If you must speak, express your condolences to Lindsey Graham's family. That's it. This isn't hard. They mocked the attack on Paul Pelosi and the murders of Minnesota Dem Melissa Hortman and her husband. They villainized ICE murder victims. Stop acting like these are normal times.
