The thing that most egregious about billionaires is the wholesale immunity from the law that their money buys and that they can buy elections. This is what pisses people off and it’s exactly what Dems should lean in to.

The major platforms—Facebook, YouTube, and X—are all refusing to show the trailer for the upcoming documentary that eviscerates the ridiculous pest Elon Musk. So I guess we have to do our part to make sure it is seen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY_8...

The highest priority for Democrats if/when they take the house and Senate is to reign in ICE. Any spending bill HAS to cut funding down to bare bones. Homan, Mullin and even Noem need to be hauled in to be interrogated b y Congress.

Some obvious points about probability that keeps getting lost in the AI debate. 1. A 10% chance of human extinction is not a prediction of human extinction. It’s a smallish percentage. 2. A 10% chance of extinction is not the same as a 10% chance of winning a football game.

I hearby introduce a new verb to the English language Fetterman (v) to deceive voters by appearance and language that you’re a working class liberal when in reality you’re a wealthy conservative. “Platner looks great, but I’m concerned he may Fetterman us if he gets elected”

This war is about four dictators. One is dead. One is leading an attack against his enemies. One is hoping to declare a "National Emergency" before an election. And one is smiling from Russia.

So, three out of the five most dangerous geopolitical hotspots in the world are at war, and the forth is blinking red (Taiwan). All involve nuclear powers. The two solutions I see are fantasy… a global ban on social media and a global ban on male leaders.

Abu Ghraib, water boarding, CIA dark sites, family separation, and now extra constitutional deportations to CECOT. They’re all morally reprehensible. I’m wrestling with why the deportations FEEL so much worse. My best answer is the unflinching abrogation of constitutional rights threatens all of us.

Why are we only talking about Abrego Garcia when every one of the people sent to the prison were denied due process and more than half had no criminal record? If we somehow secure a win with AG but let the others rot, we haven’t stopped anything

When Andrew Tate was charged with rape and human trafficking, Trump intervened to fly him back to the US. When a working-class father of a disabled 5-year-old child was wrongfully deported and charged with NO crime, Trump refuses to lift a finger.

The top story in the United States this week is the atrocities developing as a result of the relationship between Donald Trump and Nayib Bukele. Not tariffs. Not Katy Perry. Not whatever new dumb shit Elon Musk did. Major media needs to get this right and show America it is still paying attention.

Of all the people getting FAFOed, Wall Streeters like Bill Ackman, who are suddenly waking up to who they voted for are the most vile and unsympathetic. Do they give a rats ass about the innocent people sitting in a death camp in El Salvador? Rhetorical question.
