9/11 basically explains everything about why we're in the bad place, but the original sin was the supreme court deposing Gore.

I mean, I think the news is that the President is once again running to the left of democrats in an election by proposing a Universal Basic Income of $5k.

A friend found this clipping in some old files. Haven't seen this before. Mind blown.
Color political cartoon by Danny Hellman from the New York Press dated October 6-12, 1999. In it, Donald Trump and his then wife Marla Maples being shown a model of the White House with many added stories and a shiny gold T on the top, with Taj Mahal towers on the side and flags flying with a T. It is labeled "Proposed White House Renovation." A ghoulish Philip Johnson says, "Granted, It's in violation of several of Washington D.C.'s landmark and zoning codes. But of course as president of the United States..." Trump, licking his lips, says, "It's tremendous, Philip, when do I move in?" The caption beneath is Spectacularly unqualified egomaniac Donald Trump contemplates a White House run"

American cities are amazing places that drive everything great about the USA. We need to dissolve the system of rural right-wing minority rule derived from the artifacts of slavery. Let the cities lead.

According to VAR regs, a still should show the point of contact - in Balogun’s case, his toe, studs down, accidentally catching on the sock of the player who closed space to challenge him. Instead we’ve frozen the video to imagine a stomp which never happened.

So according to the Supreme Court Congress isn’t allowed to delegate rulemaking or enforcement to independent agencies. Citizens should settle their disputes in court against the corporations they have no standing to sue if an Agency controlled by a loyalist says so.

Oh quelle surprise. It turns out Trump is a pedophile and his fellow-traveler partner in crime was conveniently killed while he was in federal prison during his first term. QAnon was a psy-op to provide cover for the real perps and their actual conspiracy.

Democrats needing to message on affordability as the country endures a brutal authoritarian takeover is tragic. Take it from someone who lives in occupied Minneapolis. Our problems go deeper than prices.

one of the weirdest things about the current moment is how the national media have to pretend like they don't know what this is about. official government social media accounts are posting about racially cleansing America and they have to pretend like it's not clear who the bad guy is.

The Trump Administration is no longer hiding their Nazi inspiration, with Noem adopting a slogan coined by convicted Nazi war criminal Kurt Daluebe, who ordered the murder of every male in Lidice in retaliation for the death of a single SS officer. Is this Trump's plan for American cities?

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

I still can't quite believe that he tore down a wing of the White House to build one of his tacky projects that only read as "Luxe" to the most middling of bumpkins. The only reason Mar-a-Lago isn't a dump is because it wasn't built by Trump.

Maybe American farmers should try growing food for people to eat instead of harvesting subsidies and bailouts. Go to the grocery store somewhere in the EU and you see the impact of subsidizing agriculture that grows food.
