The Epstein case is so bad the government gave you a war, a new virus, and aliens to keep you distracted from it. Sit with that as long as you need.

Early State of the Union summary from a fact-check perspective: Less lying than in a totally-off-script Trump speech, but still a lot of lying. The economy was the single subject with the largest number of false and misleading claims.

Today, we celebrate St. Louis labor activist and equal rights champion, Ora Lee Malone. Malone was a fearless fighter who spent more than fifty years working to advance the rights of women, Black people, and low-wage workers.

From fighting for voting rights in the segregated south, to labor organizing in St. Louis, and eventually joining Nelson Mandela’s campaign against apartheid in South Africa, Malone spent her life bringing people together to fight for a future where all people’s rights are protected.

Malone also played an essential role in the founding of the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists, the Coalition of Labor Union Women, and many other labor organizations. Her legacy as an organizer and an advocate lives on here in St. Louis as we keep the fight for justice alive.

At #SOTU, Trump talked about bringing Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro “to justice” and is charging him with bogus charges of drug trafficking. Meanwhile Trump just pardoned CONVICTED drug trafficker former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández.

"We lifted 2.4 million Americans off food stamps." That's Trump speak for cutting 2.4 million from food assistance as hunger stalks America.
This includes stripping 300,000 vulnerable veterans, homeless individuals, and foster youth.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

Democrats love to go on CNN and social media and call Trump a fascist and compare him to Hitler, but then always block any limits on his powers of domestic surveillance, as well as any attempts to limit his power to start new wars: almost as if they don't believe their rhetoric.

I don’t want data centres. I want better roads, equipped hospitals, safety social nets for the unemployed, old and disabled, and developed public schools.

They removed CD/DVD drives from devices.
They made physical media harder to buy and use.
They removed expandable storage from phones.
They pushed us into streaming subscriptions.
They made always-online normal.
They made unlimited internet necessary.
Then slowly raised the price of everything.

Ownership quietly became renting.
