A Spotlight Team report found a wave of little-known nursing home owners with opaque funding have gone on a buying spree across Massachusetts. Nearly all of these chains have, on average, eroded care. Read the story: trib.al/owSMfDM

The president is just such a stupid asshole. I know we try to ascribe motives to this guy but he’s at the end of the day, when the story is written, just a dumdum idiot with a tiny brain that don’t work so good.

If you ever feel you are talking to a bot or troll online, mention Estonia, in particular that Estonia is better than Russia and they'll break character instantaneously if Russia or vatnik. The word Estonia triggers an almost violent reaction in all Russians. It's their kryptonite.

Mitch McConnell finally got wheelchaired out of his terrarium yesterday—but he looked like shit, and reporters weren't allowed to record or get near him. how do we know he even has a functioning brain at this point? we don't. thank you for your attention to today's post. link is here: bit.ly/4xYOWHp
this is not how a functioning government works. this is how a clown show works.

wheeling Zombie Mitch from place to place is just elder abuse at this point. why is he being dog-and-ponied around? is it because he grunted ‘iwaaaagwrrrrg’ and one of his handlers went, ‘Mitch says he wants to go to work’?

fuck off, Mitch. stay home. you’ve had a long, distinguished career of being the most evil person in the Senate, making life worse for We the People. bravo. job well done.

now step down, and try to enjoy what remains of your life.

ICE went to a nightclub in Memphis around 1 AM and reportedly loaded more than 100 people onto buses and vans.
We are at the point where federal immigration agents can descend on a space in the middle of the night, detain masses of people, and leave families scrambling to figure out where their loved ones were taken.
This is what authoritarianism looks like.

Farewell today to the high priestess of polka dots, Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama (1929-2026). Her work was unforgettable and for her, a means to survival. It’s playful, psychedelic, compulsive, beautiful and slightly unsettling all at once. Into infinity and beyond Yayoi! 🔴🟡⚫️

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

The reason I've gone more left in recent years is that I previously accepted that we simply couldn't afford decent cheap housing, heavily subsidised transport, a universal basic income, etc. Then in 20 years in politics I saw what we actually could afford. And it's a lot. It's just never for you.

That’s just it. We know that women are being sexually assaulted in ICE detention. We know that women are being sexually assaulted by random men posing as ICE agents. And now this is added to the mix. Every new weapon and technology is ultimately used by abusers to harm women.

How long before random men start getting those electric gloves to use on women?

Holy shit. www.wired.com/story/a-civi...
This past May, a twin-engine Beechcraft King Air medevac plane took off from Roswell, New Mexico, and headed west to the town of Ruidoso to pick up a patient. It shouldn’t have been a challenging flight for the two pilots and two nurses aboard. The temperature was 69 degrees; the sky was clear. The 60-mile journey normally takes a half hour, at most.

But once airborne, the plane ran into trouble. At the White Sands Missile Range that night, US military personnel were conducting a GPS jamming exercise that left the King Air pilots—and anyone else within hundreds of miles—unable to use modern navigation systems. Forced to revert to older technology, ones that they rarely if ever use, the medevac pilots got disoriented and crashed into the side of a mountain. There were no survivors.
