This is a man. A real man.

A man who will never have to buy a drink for himself for the rest of his life.

[Devin Nunes' Cattle Dog 🇺🇦 🇪🇺🇺🇸🇨🇦 🇦🇺 @Kaos_Vs_Control]

A New 55-Page Congressional Report Alleges Donors Who Wanted to Fund America's 250th Birthday Celebration Were Given the Wrong Bank Routing Numbers Redirecting Their Money to a Trump-Linked Group Instead, Without Their Knowledge, 1 Day Before the Actual 4th of July

Wire fraud?

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Imagine not being able to stop attacking other Americans for even one day to celebrate America’s 250th

The worst president in American history. By far.

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

Trump’s tariffs were never about the American economy or American businesses. They were, like everything else, just another Mob Boss extortion racket to enrich Trump and his cronies.

Maybe Republicans should spend more time condemning stuff like this and less time condemning the mayor of New York.

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

And there it is.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

July Fourth is literally about our rejection of having a King.

Trump and his supporters should sit this one out.

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

Trump and his sons ripped off nearly one million of their supporters and made a fortune producing nothing of value for anyone. Blood sucking leeches, using the US presidency to do it. And they couldn’t care less and their cult doesn’t seem to mind. Strange times in America.

There needs to be a FULL investigation of Freedom 250 because places like the Walworth County Fair do a week-long fair with tents, attractions, music, motorsports, circuses, animals and more... and on a $2.5m budget.

Trump's fair spent like 40x more for nothing. There was literally nothing there but a ferris wheel and some really shittily-made buildings. Not a single tent. No attractions. Absolutely nothing.

They looted the shit out of that money and delivered the worst experience possible.

Had a drink with my cousin who finally managed to pay off his student debt last month.

He spent 10 years grinding, skipping vacations, and eating generic groceries to wipe out a $35,530 bachelor’s degree balance.

He thought the second that debt vanished, he would instantly feel the financial freedom he was promised.

Instead, he sat down to map out his new budget now that his $300 monthly loan payment was gone.

He realized the baseline cost of just existing completely swallowed his victory.

His mandatory annual car insurance premium jumped from $1,047 to $2,276. His monthly grocery bill for his family is pushing past $1,250.

He told me he stared at his screen and realized he didn't actually gain any ground.
The money he freed up from his education debt was already spoken for by basic inflation.

He did everything right. Sacrificed his entire twenties to get back to zero debt.

And the economy adjusted the prices of baseline survival just fast enough to ensure he stays in the exact same spot.

You cannot save your way out of a system that re-prices the baseline metrics of living every single quarter.

Israeli families — Jews in the "Jewish state," whose grandparents perished in Nazi religious persecution — are now going to watch public executions on their televisions for entertainment, like the rest of humanity watches films.

What new line must this parasitic society cross before the rest of the world finally understands this degenerate colonial enterprise must be destroyed once and for all?

[Muhammad Mazen @mhmd_s09]

One of the most brutal scenes in human history has been leaked.

Footage from an Israeli aircraft shows thousands of starving Palestinians running towards an aid truck, before it bombs and kills them all.

A video that the world must never forget.

[Marcus Stanley @MarcusMStanley]

For those not in DC, just an observation on how colossally screwed up the America 250 celebration is. Whatever the opposite of freedom is, this is it.

The National Mall and other previously public areas nearby are a bewildering maze of walls, fences, and restrictions that stop any access except thru a few secured entrances. Once you get on there's a bizarre ersatz "America's state fair" that mixes lame state tourism materials with pro-Trump displays.

While you're wandering through the blazing heat trying to figure out how to access what should be areas open to the public, you are repeatedly blasted by deafening flyovers from military jets, signaling America's desire to intimidate the world through armed force.

Happy 250th! We'll get through it...

[Mark @markaprovost]

So called "closed loop systems" are like "clean coal" in that they don't actually exist. This has barely received attention, but AI data centers pump millions of gallons of waste into the groundwater, which will render the area uninhabitable well before the water runs out.
