People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.
Good lord they really seem to have a hard time understanding why people would stop being friends with them for supporting Nazi shit.
Did they think they could just cheer on the hatred and persecution and people would simply *ignore* their ignorant & proud lack of humanity?
I love #econsky. They bring facts that tell us what we should be paying attention to
Going to be some upset companies it it continues
Creditworthiness is declining as Americans are saddled with excess debt. The economy is softening, and consumer demand will eventually collapse. Recession warnings are flashing everywhere.
The brain drain continues. Most of these scientists will end up working somewhere other than the USA.
Please help the Hollywood Assembly Girls with their fundraiser, and you'll get some really good popcorn delivered right to your door.

MAGA is pure hypocrisy. They will chant any lie as long as it brings them power. They know exactly what they are doing, and they don't care.
Wooooboyyyy...
Matt Bier of the CATO Institute is demolishing Donald Trump at the House committee hearing on sanctuary cities.
"The president is also explicitly asserting the authority to ignore any law passed by you, Congress...the administration has repeatedly mislead you and the public."
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Russia’s cyber threat is real. Dozens of state-sponsored hacker groups target U.S. government, infrastructure, and businesses, aiming to steal data and maintain long-term access to critical systems.
Amazing analysis of Demi Moore's movie "The Substance"
Really dig deep into the subtext and social commentary.

And, no matter what happens, the Republicans will blame Democrats for not stopping them from making horrible, criminal decisions.
Seriously, f#ck them all.
All in all, Putin, through an army of low rent internet trolls and paid useful idiots and traitors, has successfully undermined the USA by buying off the Republican Party.
We are entering a geopolitical dark age, led there by the absolute worst people in America.
Naturally, Canada's flirtation with EU membership is part of this new realignment, as the US becomes a more unreliable ally in the fight against totalitarianism.
This will further isolate the USA, costing us soft power and trade relationships which will cause serious harm.
I envision a world where the EU supplants NATO as the organization responsible for checking Russian imperial aggression. The EU will move towards enforcing standards of liberty in order to push out nations that fall under Russian authoritarian tendencies, like Hungary.
In Brussels, Hegseth caves on Ukrainian sovereignty over its pre-invasion borders and NATO membership. It was always Russia, Russia, Russia. The torch is now passed to Europe to fight Russian aggression.
Mitch is trying to save his “legacy” as being the person who ended US freedom and democracy for all time. Inevitably leading to the end of all free people globally. Makes Mussolini look angelic.
Slamming on the brakes after you get into an accident doesn't mean shit.
With both RFK Jr and Gabbard confirmed, two people who rose to prominence spreading conspiracy theories about public health and national intelligence will now run the U.S. government agencies in charge of those areas. For someone studying these conspiracy theories for a decade... this is nauseating.
This is your reminder that "Moscow" Mitch McConnell could have avoided a second Trump presidency by supporting Impeachment for Jan 6, but he decided to play partisan politics instead. He doesn't get any points for doing the right thing now, if anything it makes him more despicable.
When there is enough hunger and privation, you better believe Americans will remember where they left their pitchforks.
Got a call from my mother at 11am this morning, and the first thing she says is "Did I wake you up?"
WTF??? I'm 52 years old, lady. I haven't slept in since my first kid was born.
I wonder if TBN is hiring...
The endless frustration of seeing how little benefit good has brought makes evil attractive. With every passing breath, and every heartbeat, the urge to fully commit to the soul's Heel Turn grows. At least all the self flagellation will end.
I hope.
Disappointments pile like dead, fallen leaves.
Each a broken promise of Spring,
And a heavy threat of Winter,
In a heart made for Summer
Optimism wanes
In the face of dessicated hopes
And a broken vow of Peace
To a world full of liars
Who take kindness for weakness.
Based Hellboy.

Meowmeowbeans. One of the best episodes of TV ever.
Ever.
When this country was founded, they'd just fought a war for independence against a madman like Trump.
The simple fact is, most people don't have the expertise or knowledge necessary to even understand the spending of an agency with its fingers in as many pies as USAID. Even experts have a hard time understanding and tracking the benefits derived from these investments. That doesn't make them bad.
Musk's propaganda focusing on individual items in US AID's budget is part of the authoritarian assault on the concept of "a public good." By turning every penny the US gov't spends into a topic of public deliberation (and potential ridicule), they are trying to turn people against democracy itself.
