the funniest thing about the "we don't trust the media" people is that they will trust literally anyone else. like, if you have an image and text, they'll buy it. shaking keys at babies type logic.

In 2027 Seattle's minimum wage will be $22.14 per hour. That's more than THREE TIMES the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour—a rate that hasn't been raised since 2009. And yet somehow we're not the jobless wasteland orthodox economics would predict. Weird.

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

Trump's war is speed-running electrification of the world economy. EVs, wind, solar, batteries, are just increasing at light-speed. And 90% of the profit is going to China. They couldn't have designed a better crisis if they had tried.

A question worth asking: If a president repeatedly violates the Constitution, and enough members of his own party knowingly refuse to use their constitutional powers to restrain him, when does that stop being one president’s failure—and become a crisis of the party’s constitutional legitimacy?

He treated it as a legitimate question about voter concerns. Voters - those winnable by ANY Democrat - DO NOT CARE about any trans topic enough to drive their vote. Saying, in that interview, "you're talking about the wrong thing" rejects the frame outright.

The Supreme Court majority is obviously dedicated to vote suppression so I suspect that when all is said and done they are going to end vote by mail. And it's all because the greatest sore loser in world history couldn't admit that he lost. It's Caligula level absurdity.

Pay attention as well to how his wife echoes many complaints made about treatment of people in ICE custody, ones that Trump appointees routinely dismiss as leftist lies; inadequate medical care, filthy conditions, and a lack of basic care from ICE officers and prison guards.
She was held in a frigid room with a handful of women. She recalled a gaunt diabetic immigrant in her 70s pleading for insulin, to no avail. Ms. Bobreneva curled up on the ground under a foil blanket.
About 18 hours later, she was shackled at the ankles, waist and wrists and loaded into an unmarked van with several other immigrants. They bounced up and down in the sweltering vehicle as it raced toward the detention center in Adelanto.
"I felt like a piece of meat, not like a human," recalled Ms. Bobreneva.Sleep deprivation was a constant, she said.
Lights were always on. Hand-held radios carried by the guards crackled day and night. On her birthday, Ms. Bobreneva recalled, she shared chocolate she had ordered from the commissary with fellow Russian-speaking detainees from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Armenia.
Ms. Bobreneva described neglect, filth and people in despair.
For 120 women, there were seven showers; only four worked. Potable water was scarce; ailing people were denied care until they required hospitalization, she said, echoing allegations in a federal lawsuit.
