Elon Musk is bankrolling an ad campaign to get you to check your voter registration through an innocent-sounding website. But his real goal is to collect and sell your personal data to advertising companies, Big Tech, and other Republican PACs.

The slick voter registration website, currently being promoted to millions of people, is a digital surveillance machine.

🔥 Jon Stewart Defends Democratic Socialism: “When you call it SoCiALiSm, I think it’s a misnomer — It’s about strengthening a safety net for a country that has suffered too long overvaluing capital and money, and undervaluing labor and work. That’s it.”

Everybody is also fully aware that weapons inspections were part of the deal Obama struck with Iran in 2015, which you tore up in 2018. These last 8 years without inspection are your fault, so there’s no credit or praise for reinstating them. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

B Smith’s Second Sticks got to take a deep dive into David Nolte's varied career as a musician, producer, and audio technician. Nolte was there at the historical origins of punk rock in SoCal in the late 70's and was co-founder of the seminal punk band Descendants. Links in bio.

Concentration camps. Use the term. Do not stop using the term until this current American regime falls and the camps are liberated. Then use the term in The Hague. This is Trumpism. This is white nationalism. This is he moral gutter into which America has fallen.

Congress is not powerless. Democrats must unify around an actual agenda. 1. Vote no on DHS funding bill. 2. Repeal the multi-year $75 billion funding for ICE. 3. End qualified immunity for ICE agents. 4. Investigate and prosecute every single ICE agent who broke the law.

They are running the government according to the logic of right-wing grievance media. I cannot emphasize that enough. The point is to create content, and they don't see an actual difference between dunking on Sabrina Carpenter, passing legislation, and bombing other countries.

The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.

AOC: All in the name of Charlie Kirk, Trump and the FCC are now cynically threatening to shut down ABC and any outlets who give air time to the administration's political critics. This is a disgusting attack on the American people and the very first amendment rights that define us as a country.

You have to wonder when they start targeting podcasters, pressuring platforms like Apple, Spotify, even Substack, to cancel the programming and accounts of those who speak ill of pretty much anything that the architects of Project 2025 oppose. It can happen here, and soon.

So, Charlie Kirk was not a purveyor of hate, intolerance and disinformation and was instead a paragon of open debate and free speech, which is why anyone who says anything bad about the fellow needs to be identified and targeted so they'll shut up and maybe lose their jobs. Cool. Just checking.
