I went w my 8th grader to the Wright Museum of AA History in Detroit yesterday.
There’s a replica of a slave ship & during the tour our docent was showing us the schematics for stacking people like cargo.
She made a point to say we show this so history doesn’t repeat itself.
Sadly we know it is.

Warner Bros. shareholders have approved an $81 billion Paramount merger.
What does that mean?
It’s a very scary time for the media. CNN may fall under the control of associates of the White House.
States’ attorneys general are suing to block the deal.

Trump: "Actually, I've had many companies -- I shouldn't tell you this, Bobby -- but there have many companies saying, 'Sir, we'd like to buy from if you could.' 'What?' 'TrumpRx dot com.'"
tRump is in the shitter in every poll.
“I feel disgusted with myself, I feel betrayed, like he was a wolf in sheep’s clothing,”—Katherine Bright, 60, a retired captain in the U.S. Air Force.
33% of U.S. adults approve of tRump’s job performance.
Who in TF are these nuts?

When the president is a heinous abuser, when many of the most popular celebrities are heinous abusers, when the richest people in the world are heinous abusers, when the people developing new technology are heinous abusers, well that’s how you get a culture that incentivizes abuse
So many ways to look at the tariff debacle and how the costs funnel down to taxpayers and consumers, all bad…
Scoop: The DOJ has identified nearly 400 foreign-born Americans whose citizenship it wants to revoke, part of a push to increase the pace of denaturalizations by assigning the cases to prosecutors in dozens of U.S. attorney’s offices across the country.

America First my ass.
The UAE has free healthcare for their citizens. If the U.S. has money left over after all U.S. citizens have free healthcare, bailing out UAE would be a less ridiculous grift.
You can’t talk about the unhoused in California without talking about access to mental health services, not just housing costs. Both matter.
Ronald Reagan dismantled the mental health system.
"You don't bring a fraud case on the theory that a lie must exist somewhere. You bring it when you can prove what the lie was. The fact that this indictment either cannot or will not identify it is not a gap. It's a hole you can drive a truck through." https://bit.ly/4eF1A7i
Marijuana should never have been a Schedule I narcotic in the first place.
This timing, though: Trump is trying to claw back support he’s lost with young voters, especially young men.
Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia—
AOC: Wah wah wah.
We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no.
What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.

“About a third of the world’s basic fertilizers now pass through the Strait of Hormuz,” says Hanieh, who adds that the “coming food crisis” is compounded by the climate and debt crises in much of the developing world. “It’s a perfect storm.”
"The indictment is a grotesque attempt to recast white people as real victims of racism. In the DOJ’s telling, advocates who spent decades dismantling the Klan are its secret benefactors, 'enriching' themselves by secretly creating racism — something in such short supply it can only be generated."
😮😡
Very interesting from A.B. Stoddard on the state of Trump’s psyche, its implications for war and peace, and if he’ll give up power willingly.
“He’s going to find a way to try to run for another term, or cancel the election, or pass it off to Don Jr.”

Tell your Congressional reps: pause new U.S. data centers until there are national safeguards to protect workers, consumers & the environment. Systematize & codify into law the responsible use of artificial information systems, including worker impacts.
VA redistricting will eventually go to the state supreme court and pass. Get ready to run, lard ass. Doubt your clogged heart can take it...
A rotisserie chicken is possibly the single best thing you can buy if you're trying to feed a family (or yourself!) on a limited budget, and it's absurd that they were ever excluded from SNAP
