Screwworm confirmed in Texas in the midst of having the worst imaginable people in charge. I guess we’re gonna have to keep getting hammered by infectious disease until we realize public health has a point.

Trump has signed an executive order reclassifying nearly 8,000 federal employees in policy-related positions, stripping away long-standing civil service protections that previously shielded them from political dismissal.

There is something brutally psychically injurious to being constantly told "just do good work and you'll be successful" while watching people who do the most dogshit work possible do all the succeeding.

Just an idea: maybe instead of mistrusting doctors, scientists, and data, let’s start aiming that mistrust at RFK Jr. and other ill-informed “healthfluencers.” Thanks.

Giving billionaires and corporations the green light to buy our elections. Making it easier for polluters to destroy the planet. Stripping millions of reproductive freedom. Granting presidents immunity. Gutting the protections of the Voting Rights Act. The shame of the John Roberts court.

Accountability is very important. Without it, the people who do bad things are just emboldened to do more bad things. You vote for a capitalist, and you'll never see accountability. If you vote for a capitalist from either party, all these criminals walk free. Divine justice is fake. It's up to us.

Elon Musk is now worth over $800 billion. Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025. Meanwhile, millions of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and household debt has risen to a record high. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Jeff Bezos has $222 billion. If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over. And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

Perfect example of political media operating under the post-truth standard that (1) distorts the facts until the parties look approximately equal, and (2) holds “do MAGA voters care?” as a higher standard than “is it true?” or “is it important for the public to know about this?”

Trump controls the White House, the Supreme Court and Congress. The only thing he doesn't control is public opinion. That's why the Trump regime is so worried about this coming Saturday's "No Kings" protests – so worried that it's blatantly lying about "No Kings" and showing itself to be pro-king.
