AKA, the American right's fury against Iran has only ever been jealousy of their cruelty and absolute control

...making them automatic allies of American Evangelical Christians, who share their jaw-dropping narcissism. People so disabled by their lack of empathy, they genuinely believe they're virtuous for wanting to end humanity and commit the majority of the species to eternal suffering.

Welcome, Washington State, to the delightful land of taxing the parasites 🥳🎉

Understanding Partisan Bias in Judgments of Misinformation: Identity Protection Versus Differential Knowledge - Tyler J. Hubeny, Lea S. Nahon, Bertram Gawronski, 2026 People overaccept information that supports their identity and underaccept information that opposes their identity—a phenomenon known as partisan bias. Although...

Using randomly assigned identities, ppl were more likely to accept identity-congruent misinformation despite equal knowledge, supporting identity-protective motivated reasoning as a key driver of misinformation acceptance. #EvPsych #cogpsyc #SocialPsyc

it may be helpful to remember that

- Oligarchs kneecapped democracy in the 1970s; AKA the people haven't been dictating our outcomes since before Reagan
- Unfathomable amounts of money have spent on propaganda over a decade+
- Oligarchs own the majority of news outlets

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.

Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.

Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.

ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

It's always such a pleasant surprise how goofy the inward-focused Siamese eyes are. Pure feline beauty, only slightly humbled by the Alice in Wonderland eyes.

Yay for the 25,000,000 Americans who will continue to be able to not quite afford health insurance.

Imagine if Democrats had put even an iota as much effort into helping the 95,000,000 Americans who rely on Medicaid, or the 46,000,000 Americans who rely on SNAP.

🇺🇸 MINNEAPOLIS VETERAN: "They are terrorizing the population, in Afghanistan we never wore masks.” (From @statuscoupnews.bsky.social )

Naming a police officer is not doxxing. We aren’t supposed to have secret police in America.

Ex-Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura: “We’re a 3rd world country now. I know. I’ve been to ‘em. I spent 17 months in SE Asia while the draft dodger was playing golf… that’s what happens in a dictatorship. In comes the military. That’s what’s happening here.” 🇺🇸

We are failing our kids

Yes, JD, that's right! Good work, clever boy! Unemployed people are people who want a job, but don't have one. And now we have more of them. Hungry, bored people with nothing better to do than, say, hunt you for sport. What's your plan for that, big fellah? Share your wisdom with the class.

'They' = Koch brothers, far-right European economists from the Mont Pelerin Society, homegrown white supremacy enthusiasts like economist James Buchanan, and other billionaire parasite interests, came up with "neoliberalism" in the 1960s. bookshop.org/p/books/demo...

This needs to be the top headline everywhere: Trump's CFPB is gutting the 1974 Equal Credit Opportunity Act. No more credit cards, student loans, car loans or mortgages unless you're part of the 27% of Americans who happen to be white men.

Someone asked me a good question on here. How do we stop ICE from violating our constitutional rights. We don't. Our local elected officials do that job. Our Governor, or Sheriffs our mayors, Police. They stop ICE. With force if necessary. That's how you stop ICE from pulling us out of our homes.

The cruelty not merely the point, but the entire goal

Win for Planned Parenthood and Medicaid!

Myka finds her inner Mehdi Hasan?

Democratic voters are working hard to stop fascism. It would be nice if the leaders of the party joined them.

This vile hate speech is dangerous.

The repeated targeting of @ilhanmn.bsky.social not only puts her and her family at risk, but also every Somali, every woman in hijab, every Muslim, and every woman of color.

Shameful.

I'm aware of all those things. Like I said, the efficacy speaks for itself. My comment isn't about UBI, it's about societal tolerance of unjustifiable behavior.
