A day later, what I’m thinking about is how the people in the audience actually cheered after the crazy man suggested Iran taking out LA or San Diego. WTAF?

Pete Hegseth gave a speech in front of a backdrop that almost perfectly matches Nazi imagery. Meanwhile, Trump calls opponents “vermin” who he will “root out,” and says the blood of our country is being poisoned. We are far past left vs right. Our choice is democracy or fascism.

With this monopolized media empire comes not just size but unprecedented power. The power to throw workers under the bus. The power to price-gouge because consumers have few alternatives. The power to decide which stories get told, but more importantly, which stories DON'T get told.

When you realize your punishments as a child (stay home, take a nap, go to bed early) are now your goals as an adult.

A third of today's Americans are too young to have any memory of 9/11. For them, the 9/11 Memorial is making a new digital learning experience available starting tomorrow. We said we'd never forget—and part of that charge is making sure the next generation remembers too. 911memorial.org/DLE

People are falling for the DSA vs Establishment trap again. Didn’t we learn our lesson in 2016 and 2024? It’s the establishment’s job to build a coalition that can win EVERYWHERE. In some places, that means ultra-progressive. In others, it means establishment. The tent is big enough for all of us.

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.

Social Security has been America’s most effective anti-poverty program since 1935. Last year, it lifted 23.5 million people out of poverty, including 16.5 million seniors. Remember this when Republican leaders suggest raising the retirement age or cutting your benefits.

Bathroom rug head Rand Paul never gave a shit about the orange felon invoking the 5th amendment 450 times to avoid committing perjury because he’s an actual criminal unlike American hero Dr. Fauci who invoked it to protect his words from being used as propaganda by assholes like Rand.

All the reactions to American food... I would like to remind everyone living here, our food is so good because of immigration. We started using flavors from other countries and mixing them. Just like our population. We'd still be eating beans on toast without immigrants.
