Are the older establishment Democrats more complacent because they don't recognize what's happening? Are they in some sort of denial about what Republicans have become?

This is why it's such nonsense for anyone to say that with UBI, people will lose meaning. First, jobs aren't any source of meaning for many people with jobs. Second, the jobs people can't say no to are in the way of a getting a lot of meaningful work done. And third, the rich seem to find meaning.

Honestly I wish UBI was a thing so badly because with the amount of volunteer jobs I have, I could probably put in 40 hours a week doing community work and be more valuable than I would standing behind the counter at a retail joint.

Google finally updated some of its satellite images of Gaza and my god, it's horrific. The entirety of Rafah has been demolished. The majority of Khan Younis is in ruins. Entire towns completely leveled and erased of the map.

This was the 28th time #SCOTUS has granted emergency relief to the Trump administration since 1/20/25. That matches the total number of grants during the entirety of the first Trump administration. And both of those totals dwarf the *four* grants of relief (two each) during the Bush & Obama admins.

Too little, too late, Donalds. I notice the Republican brand has grown so toxic that candidates are keeping their association with the Pedo Protection Party out of their campaign materials. Politicians who can't speak out against the damage this regime is doing are undeserving of holding office.

This is vital information and I just had this conversation with friends in US, but yes, it's also bleak and unfair and unnecessary. The US is a wealthy country and this is a diabolical political choice.

Nothing about UBI discourages work. It's a floor. It increases people's ability to choose what they do. It reduces survival stress. It enables people to spend more time with others. All of this increases well-being. All of this is what people born rich are born with. Where are the concerns for them?

Luis Ochoa is 17. He was driving to file his Marine Corps enlistment paperwork in Alamo, Texas. ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him to the ground, and punched his face. He told them he was a citizen. The agent said: “I don’t give a damn. Your parents can’t help you now.” #Blues

We get cuts to the social safety nets, cuts to healthcare, cuts to food safety, and all the problems they cause. The regime continues to show us that the "pro-life" party doesn't care to prioritize life at all. They keep showing us what's really important to them.

Trump: "Please right your right hand. I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States. That loves us so much he can't even breath. That I will go out with my family, my friends, I'll do it any way - I don't care if I'm registered or not, I'm going to try to cheat like hell..."

Since we know for a fact Trump doesn’t actually care about the economy, I have to think his obsession with interest rates is about cheap access to cash for him, his family, and his collaborators. Right?

Usually reporters get leaks FROM the White House -- but at Fox News, a reporter appears to have leaked TO the White House. That's according to @oliverdarcy.bsky.social's explanation of the sudden Maria Bartiromo erasure by the Murdochs
Status has learned that Bartiromo's termination stems from an incident, which has not previously been reported, that occurred in July. After Trump delivered his unhinged prime time speech in which he pushed more conspiracy theories about the 2020 election, this time making a number of allegations against China, I am told that Fox News issued guidance to senior employees instructing them to steer clear of giving credence to Trump's delusional claims. I'm told that the guidance was issued in writing. Indeed, the day after Trump's prime time address, Fox News conspicuously avoided covering the debunked claims the president had pushed. The lack of coverage raised eyebrows among media observers at the time. It also appears to have caught the attention of the White House. It's unclear whether Trump or someone at the White House inquired with Bartiromo about the lack of coverage. But ultimately Bartiromo spilled the secret, Status has learned, divulging to the White House that Trump's speech had received scant coverage on the channel because network bosses had ordered it so. I'm even told the text message in which Fox News brass offered their guidance was shared by Bartiromo with the White House. In doing sO. Bartiromo not only effectively betrayed her employer, but also disclosed confidential company information, violating the terms of her employment agreement.
