Some don't have a choice. They're the only option to get products. For everyone else...they choose to be blind to save themselves a little inconvenience.

If Dems retake the House AND Senate in 26 then the Olympics have a chance. But the World Cup is a lost cause and should have already been moved.

NEW REPUBLIC: “Where Did Millions in Funding Go?”

$63 MILLION companies paid in *settlements* to Trump appears to have vanished (into his pocket) and @SenWarren wants answers.

Why should he? He's a billionaire. Amazon has proven time and time again they don't care about people - just the boss's money.

To be fair...until the last 6 months...Dems wouldn't have fought back. And the Dem establishment ISN'T fighting back. If you look at who is fighting it's all the new blood (with rare exceptions like Raskin and Sanders).

It will be a LONG slow process to rebuild the country. But the core that's still left is worth the investment.

1st by voting all of them out. 2nd by voting in people who actually care about the country. 3rd by requiring those people to make the structural changes that both parties have been fighting against for the last 50 years. But this requires that voters stay engaged for the next 50+ decades.

Can't read a room when you can't read to begin with...

Before using the spoon - lite a match, put it out, and then put the hot match head on it's back. The heat will cause it to back out so you don't rip it's head off inside you by accident.

The only real way to reduce the number of ticks is to allow bio-diversity to rebound. They have a number of natural predators - all of which we tend to kill off. Opossums are one of the best - unfortunately most people treat them like large rats.

Ticks also tend to gravitate towards blue jeans vs other types of pants.

Flu vaccines aren’t about “freedom.” They’re about keeping troops healthy enough to do their jobs.

Trump DOJ falsely tells court it doesn't want voter data to purge rolls Agreements suggest DOJ is not just reviewing voter rolls, but attempting to identify problems and directing states, under deadline, to remove voters.

🚨BREAKING: The U.S. Department of Justice told a federal court Tuesday that it does not intend to use sensitive voter data it collects to remove people from voter rolls — even as its own agreements with states suggest otherwise. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

“I’m the consumer. I paid higher prices because of Trump’s tariffs. Do I get a refund?”

“No.”

Heads they win, tails we lose.

Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.

"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.

I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).

So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

Jerusalem Post: Despite a “ceasefire” the IDF is giving orders to open fire on everyone in Southern Lebanon trying to go home — “Even if the person is unarmed… based on the idea that there are no civilians left in Southern Lebanon.”

Insane corruption.

And if Lutnick is profiting from the end of tariffs you can bet Trump is getting a taste.

The media’s failure to cover Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner’s ongoing conflicts of interest as he gets billions from the Middle East while being Trump’s negotiator is insane.

(Especially after what they did with Hunter Biden)

Yes, but as a top it's 51:49 for the peaches.

Everything is subject to appeal until it hits SCOTUS. (Especially these days.) And it's not binding, but it does set a precedent that does tend to influence other judges. Or at least this is what I've gathered from listening to way too many legal scholars since the felon took office the first time.

That traitor will unfortunately live long enough to finish out his term. He'll then croak just before the treason trials start avoiding any accountability. But I'll be OK with that because the pos will be dead. Finally.

ICYMI — new HUNGARY 🇭🇺 PM Magyar says Netanyahu will be arrested if he goes to Hungary

Trump just issued a last-minute warning to Virginians that if they vote YES on the redistricting referendum tomorrow, he will lose power:

“If the Democrats get additional seats, they’re going to be making changes at the federal level.”

Good luck! The world needs an end to this attempted genocide.

So to recap:

-$160 BILLION+ unconstitutionally collected in tariffs from 🇺🇸 corps, despite Trump saying foreign co’s pay

-they pass that cost to us

-Now corps collect the💰back… from us?🤔

heads they win, tails we lose!😕🤷🏼 (almost like this was the plan all along)

One of the worst videos I've seen recently, the camera person kept zooming in and out and swooping around for 30,000 different angles. I got ill watching it. The shots were crystal clear but it was unwatchable.

A lot too depends on what I'm expecting - is it a pov, an "amateur", "studio quality"?
