Russia violated Polish airspace intentionally today, forcing Polish and NATO jets to scramble.

HORRIBLE. SICKENING. UNACCEPTABLE.

In a democracy we settle our differences with words, ideas & actions, not hatred, guns & violence.

#ShameOnUS

No argument from me on this one.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on the shooting of Charlie Kirk:

"Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."

Political violence from any party or any ideology is a direct assault on the foundations of democracy and the rule of law; it seeks not to persuade but to intimidate, not to debate but to destroy.

Today’s act of political violence in Utah against Charlie Kirk is absolutely disgusting and unacceptable.

We don’t have to agree on everything, but we should all agree on this: political violence is wrong, and has no place in our democracy

I love this set in my collection showing that magic moment when a cat sees you and decides to come visit. ✨

Sanders: Instead of spending $1 trillion a year on the military, let’s build 5 million units of low income and affordable housing..

Bernie Sanders: "I think this is a prelude not only to cutting benefits, but to privatizing Social Security ... why do you lie so much about Social Security? Why do you make it look like it's a broken system? The reason is to get people to lose faith in the system so you can give it over to Wall St"

holy shit -- Trump was reading from a literal Tesla sales pitch, complete with pricing, during his White House event with Elon Musk. (Andrew Harnik/Getty)

Elon: Reuters was paid millions of dollars by the US government for “large scale social deception”. That is literally what it says on the purchase order! They’re a total scam. Just wow.

The "large scale social deception" contract Musk is conspiracizing about was:

* first awarded under Trump
* paid to Reuters' data division, not the newsroom
* for researching *defenses* against deception
* not revealed by "DOGE investigations" and was a public record, visible online for many years

1. OSHA has ordered the digital and physical destruction of 18 publications on workplace safety practices, according to an email obtained by Popular Information.

The email says the publications have been removed from the web and tells staff that physical copies should be "disposed of or recycled"

If each Treasury payee is a separate record, and there are, say, 68,000,000 social security payees (as is estimated), then at $5000 per violation, it seems like Elon could be penalized $340 billion if he unlawfully accessed their Treasury records...

Eggs UP
Taxes UP
Gas UP
RX drugs UP
Dow Jones DOWN
Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, ACA, VA all on the chopping block.

Trump was never going to make anyone in America's life easier. In just 2 weeks he's made life harder for everyone except his billionaire friends.

Thou Shalt Not Tolerate Nazis We shall never surrender!

We shall fight them in the comments.

We shall fight them on the subreddits.

We shall fight them on Substack and on Bluesky.

WE SHALL NEVER SURRENDER!

Since he's been in office (less than a week): egg prices up, gas prices up, Nazi salutes up

Trump: Mexico is "effectively closing our southern border."

Mexico: "no plan to close border."

Kinda to little to late, but better than nothing in guess. Garland was useless.

The Republicans who voted for Donald Trump are currently in the finding out phase and he hasn't taken office yet.

Just a reminder that Elon Musk has never had a single relative wear the uniform or bleed for this country. If he wants to threaten a veteran, he should try doing it to their face.

It's difficult to click the like on a comment like that.

Barnes: They didn't look at a Elon Musk as a savior to come fix the situation they're in. In fact, it's people like Elon Musk who've driven up costs because of their greed. It's how they've accumulated so much wealth that has made life harder for so many people.

Meat is still mostly water.

Ugly bags of meat flavored water.

ha ha what a fucken dork
