A clip from The New York Times reads: "But only the entities that officially paid the tariffs are eligible to recover that money. That means that the fuller universe of people affected by Mr. Trump’s policies — including millions of Americans who paid higher prices for the products they bought — are not able to apply for direct relief. The extent to which consumers realize any gain hinges on whether businesses share the proceeds, something that few have publicly committed to do. Some have started to band together in class-action lawsuits in the hopes of receiving a payout."

The average American family paid $1,700 in tariffs last year, according to the bipartisan Congressional Joint Economic Committee. Few will ever see any of that money back. The refunds will go to companies, if doled out at all. What a joke.

Apart from everything else, this has nothing to do with how the Pharisees and their conflict with Jesus are depicted in the Gospels. Not even the opposite of it. Just completely orthogonal. Like someone who has no familiarity with the Bible stories at all.

You absolutely SHOULD NOT go around telling people that data centers are full of gold, silver, palladium, copper, and that the data centers are almost entirely unstaffed.

50/50 chance we get a new Evangelical variant that elevates Trump to the holy Trinity. like the Moonies but dialed up to 11

One of the first signs of Woke 2 will be the movies having the "psychotic Afrikaaner mercenary" role be switched to ex-IDF guys

no one will ever throw people under the bus like this guy, the best ever to do it

Let’s Finally Do Something About the Bulldozer That Killed My Daughter Bernie Sanders is trying to end the shipment of US bulldozers to Israel—like the one that crushed my daughter, Rachel Corrie, to death 23 years ago.

It has been 13 years since Israeli soldiers murdered Rachel Corrie with a bulldozer. This is a really compelling piece by her mother.

I reposted it before, but again, this is disastrous

“DCIP has been critical for its reports shining a light on the atrocities committed by Israeli forces and settlers against Palestinian children”

please mr godzilla my country america yearns for freedom

Its the threat of "police" and "violent altercation" that really outline exactly what white violence looks like.

Using the threat of beckoning the state to violently harm you if you don't bend to their demands.

That's RACISM as a fucking function of power dynamics in a white supremacist society.

My god. Essential, horrifying reporting here.

The “Calvin’s dad explains two types” meme, inspired by a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon. Clockwise from top left: 1) Calvin’s dad walks into frame to find Calvin trying to operate a record player. The dad says: “There are only two industries left in America: gambling, and fraud.” 2) The dad shows where the record goes, and how to turn on the player, while Calvin watches. Dad says “Derivatives? Gambling. AI? Fraud. Video games? Gambling. Social media? Fraud.” Calvin says “yeah”. 3) With one hand open palm up, Calvin’s dad cheerfully explains to Calvin out of frame below him, “The stock market looks like gambling, but it’s actually fraud.” 4) In bed in a dark room, Calvin clutches at his pillow, eyes wide in existential terror. There is no text in the panel.

this is what teenagers in movies looked like during the iraq war

The Bezoses would prefer you read the puff piece about the wife instead of this. It's not just that they want you to look away; they have the power to create something else to look at.

this is legitimately fascinating as an a real life demonstration of why trump is flailing

if you wanna see wild deep state shit, just watch and try to wrap your head around the list of democrats who vote this month to let tulsi gabbard and kash patel use wiretaps without a warrant

Judges Fired After Blocking Deportations of Pro-Palestinian Students

I think we are far beyond the point where a serious person can plausibly claim that the immigration courts are offering a fair adjudication consistent with foundational principles of the American legal tradition. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/11/u...

from the end of 2010 tv screen that says ALL THESE WORLDS ARE YOURS EXCEPT EUROPA ATTEMPT NO LANDING THERE USE THEM TOGETHER USE THEM IN PEACE

Watching CNN’s live coverage of the collapsing monolith black hole near Jupiter

This is fucking insane.

Contrary to public perception a huge % of pregnant teenagers in the 1990s were impregnated by adult men. The younger they were, the larger the average age gap between mother and father was. Fixing teen pregnancy was in part a clampdown on statutory rape. That's what conservatives want to reverse.

The United States will not be able to escape its current drain-circling until it acknowledges and confronts the ways in which Trump is NOT exceptional among American politicians, and the ways in which the infrastructure for a fascist regime was built as a bipartisan project over many, many years.

It depresses me a lot that there's people out there like this

Holy fucking shit it's real lol

Olivia Reingold of the Free Press asks Abdul El-Sayed "does Israel have a right to exist as a Jewish state?"

AES: "What do you mean by a Jewish state?" [...] "If you can't define the question, I'm not gonna answer it.

Everyone was warned.

Ebrahim Rezaee, the spokesperson for the National Security Committee of Iran's Parliament: "Lebanese sacrificed their lives for us, and we shouldn't leave them alone for a moment. Ceasefire on all fronts, or no ceasefire at all."

From Hassan Mafi on x:

“Ebrahim Rezaee, the spokesperson for the National Security Committee of Iran's Parliament:

"Lebanese sacrificed their lives for us, and we shouldn't leave them alone for a moment. Ceasefire on all fronts, or no ceasefire at all."”

There is no ceasefire in Lebanon. Israel has been bombing Lebanon non-stop since last night. If anything Israel is expanding its war on Lebanon.

You are being lied to

Don't taco Tuesday this shit. Millions of people spent the day wondering if they would get vaporized, and no one in our government stood up to him. Nothing cutesy about it.

a sex pest real estate guy who lost money on his casinos got elected president twice because he played a deals man on tv and then he destroyed the global economy. baudrilliard would die if he wasn't already dead.

It becomes clearer every day that “Death to America!” is not about hatred, but the kind of love necessary to save the lives of everyone on Earth.

Iranian state TV is straight up playing Giorgio Mordor-style disco tunes.

The chryon reads: "By accepting Iran's terms, the US committed to non-aggression, continued Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz, enrichment, and lifting of all sanctions."
