The dictatorship of capital forces children into school for most of the day, then refuses to guarantee they’ll be fed while they’re there. Compulsory attendance, optional nutrition. What kind of evil fucking system mandates a child’s presence but not their lunch?

I love how big food manufacturers finally got the deregulation they wanted and they couldn’t even play it cool.

Just an immediate “oh yeah we will totally contaminate your food with shit, glass, and disease if unmonitored. ☺️”

Sheldon & Miriam Adelson are in the Epstein files.

They’ve spent over $744 million on elections since 2010.

They’ve given $100 million+ to Trump and have offered $250 million for him to run for a third term.

Epstein’s billionaire buddies are interfering in our elections.

Yale University researchers who analyzed how much “Medicare for All” would cost:

“A universal healthcare system in the U.S. would not require the country to spend more on healthcare. It would require it to spend less.”

[Americans For Tax Fairness @4TaxFairness]

Billionaires are buying our elections to buy tax cuts for themselves, paid for by slashing our healthcare. Pass it on.

There was a recent study where they took the smartphone capacity away from adults for four weeks and so they still had their flip phone they could text and call but they couldn’t get online. They couldn’t be on social media. And what they found is that after four weeks of being away from a smart phone the happiness scores went up as if they had treated these people with an antidepressant and when they looked at these individuals and spoke with them they found that these people were getting better sleep because they weren’t under screens at night so that’s a point of joy that is measured in the research they were actually socialising more another point of joy they were spending time in nature another point of joy eating their food and tasting it not like just staring at a screen and shoving it in their mouth so they were losing all of these natural points of joy just by being on their screen

The most accurate articles in English about the US are now being published by the British press: Financial Times, Guardian, Telegraph, BBC.
The represent different views but they all publish the truth that is now dangerous to publish in the US because of Trump's retribution.

Is this real? Are we really letting Trump design aircraft carriers? Has everyone lost their minds?

[Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth) @adamscochran]

The Trump owned and operated sketchy crypto firm, backed by Saudi and Qatari money has just been approved, by a Trump appointee... to become a bank...

Days after the Treasury department ended the rule on reporting beneficial ownership of who owns US companies.

These are levels of corruption that would seem brazen even in Putin's Russia.

Vance does the bidding of Peter Thiel who wants to economically destroy US so he and the other oligarchs, Tech bros, C corporations and weapons corporations can takeover and run the USA. Link alt.

Context: On 9/24/25 Trump was considering firing both AG Bondi & DAG Blanche for not indicting his enemies. Called them into meeting. Had "running list of people he wanted charged [including] Judge Juan Merchan & his daughter." Per @maggieNYT & @jonathanvswan

[Norman Ornstein @NormOrnstein]

Not just the Hatch Act. That, of course, would be true of any cabinet member. But the Attorney General is in a different category. It’s a gross violation of every ethical standard of the rule of law. Showing he is nothing but a partisan, lickspittle, puppet, unfit for his office.

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

If this report is true, Trump official Michael Boren is using the U.S. Forest Service as his personal firefighting force, and is abusing his position.

According to The Washington Post, about a month ago, a small fire broke out in Idaho’s Sawtooth National Forest. It was responded to, but it received a far greater response than a fire of that scale typically warrants and did not pose a significant threat to life or property.

The reason? Boren requested additional aircraft to fight the fire. It turns out the fire was near his Idaho mega-ranch.

He interfered with and succeeded in influencing the firefighting operations of the U.S. Forest Service. The Post also reports that aircraft appear to have been diverted from other firefighting efforts across the state.

His actions may have put other firefighting operations at risk. The level of selfishness here is inexcusable.

Wow. Proponents of the ICE taser gloves are openly saying that one reason they love the gloves is that they doesn’t leave any marks or proof that they were used, making it harder for people to sue when they’re shocked excessively.

[Jeff Stein @jstein_notus]

Just so people are really aware of what this means: A Trump appointee has approved Trump’s personal crypto firm to operate as a bank

Corporations can conduct transactions in which the Trump family gets a cut

The public will not have to be informed

There’s no precedent for this

May I ask you a question, my friends -- my Republican friends, in particular? What kind of man inscribes his name on another man's memorial? Really, what manner of man?
