Record profits are unpaid wages and unpaid taxes.

If you listen to the recent Sleeping with Celebrities pod with Martha Kelly you get to hear beloved cat Barry! I feel like Barry has only been seen up to this point, so it is a big deal to fans of Barry et al.

The 28th Virginia battle flag is a Confederate battle flag that belonged to the 28th Virginia Infantry Regiment. Captured by the 1st Minnesota Infantry Regiment at the Battle of Gettysburg, the flag was brought to Minnesota and exhibited at the state's capitol for several years before passing into the permanent collection of the Minnesota Historical Society after 1896 where it has remained since.

Happy Confederate Surrender Day from Minnesota where we still have your goddamn flag and we’re not giving it up.

If you freeze an apple and then throw it hard enough you could probably keep doctors away this way too

“Why aren’t college students protesting” stories are almost always wrong (they are protesting), omit crucial context (they were brutally punished for protesting before), and somehow suggest that 19 yr olds have more moral responsibility than elected officials three times their age

Living in the trump era makes me feel very connected to my ancestors, who lived as serfs under a succession of insane moron god kings

NEW US electricity data ⚡️🇺🇸

In March, renewables produced more than a third of US electricity for the first time ever, even overtaking gas generation!

Wind and solar combined reached over a quarter (26%) for the first time.

every time i write about wage theft i do a double take because it's so crazy

corporations steal more than $50 bn from workers' paychecks each year, illegally paying workers less than they earned for their labor

that significantly exceeds the combined losses from larceny, burglary, & vehicle theft

Could This Actually End Citizens United? Montana — yes, deep red Montana — has a plan to effectively neuter Citizens United.No Supreme Court ruling or constituti

An upcoming Montana ballot referendum would deny corporations the power to spend in state and federal elections.

If it passes in deep red Montana, it could pass anywhere. State by state, this could effectively nullify Citizens United. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1fPbGHe3xE

Just found a ham sandwich tied to a piece of string leading into the woods. Probably fine.

Every time someone sets off fireworks in my neighborhood I rush to check the news to see if they’re celebrating that It Finally Happened.

F.C.C. Chair Warns Media 1h ago Brendan Carr threatened to revoke broadcasters' licenses over their Iran war coverage, a move critics say positions him as a national censor.

critics say

republicans are in charge of everything and they are getting everything theyve ever wanted and doing everything theyve ever wanted and the world is on fire and the global world order is collapsing. is there a correlation? who can say

JB Pritzker: “When you've got somebody taking ppl's rights away & the president is taking ppl's rights away — when he's attacking ppl's freedoms, when he's not following the law, when he's corrupt & enriching himself — I don't know how on earth you can stand w/ Trump & say, well, let’s work w/ him”

Blade RUNNER? Not around the pool, I hope

The U.S. Built a Blueprint to Avoid Civilian War Casualties. Trump Officials Scrapped It. The Pentagon dismantled its civilian protection mission as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made “lethality” a top priority and the Trump administration reorganized national security around two principl...

Here’s the reason the United States bombed the Children’s school in Iran.

And yes, it’s Trumps fault.

They convinced not just Acosta but tons of the most powerful and successful civilians in the country that Epstein was just a hapless john who was being persecuted by a crazy female AUSA for the victimless crime of prostitution with wicked girls who just happened to be underage.

Ruben Ray Martinez: Footage shows US citizen shot by ICE agent in Texas traffic stop The Department of Homeland Security did not disclose Martinez was shot by one of its agents until almost a year later.

Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas.

"He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger."

I think they might have better luck spending two thousand dollars holding a press conference where they detail who made the key decisions to collaborate with the Trump administration, how and when they were fired, and explaining what would stop that from happening again.

"I just wanted to call me co-worker a 'pussy', I didn't want this..."

Even if it takes years, we have to bring EVERYONE who made this happen to justice. No moving on, no letting this go.

Revenge is good enough motivation for me personally, but the nobler and important reason is to ensure that anyone who thinks of doing this again knows they’ll rot in prison for it.

Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.

it is kinda wild to me how most Republicans in Congress almost got themselves lynched running their mouths about 2020, and proceeded to forget all about it roughly 3 hours later

Rest now, Kristi. We have the watch. I'll see you at CPAC Tallahassee

orange cat looking offended

whenever he is sitting around looking upset we've started calling him "Upsetti Spaghetti, the Italian cat" and i'm pretty sure it just makes him madder
