This is clearly fine with the GOP.
Whenever you have crushing poverty next to the irresistible draw of the massive ”price support” created by prohibition, the results are utterly predictable.

i am not an educator so maybe this is dumb, but can we not just like, go back to readings and class discussions?
i did most of my upper division and graduate work in college out of sheer fear of the socratic method
Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"
Thousands of farms and hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland have been lost to development and other economic pressures in recent years. Michigan does less than most to stem the tide. bridgemi.com/business-wat...
Most liberals have no idea that the NY Times is a problem. Liberal/Dem leaders rarely criticize the Times (or any media) so people assume it’s okay. We have a serious media literacy problem on the left.
This dead-eyed cretin is effectively illiterate, but if anyone ever pressed Donald Trump or Elon Musk like this in an interview, they would sound exactly the same
Run on prosecuting war criminals and show ads with the missile hitting the school and show photos of the girls when they were alive. Make it a point to arrest and prosecute Hegseth and go from there. Trump won't protect him. He'll either be dead by then or cashed out.
Trump's bombs are obliterating... your health care
“Comically unqualified, intensely partisan, and unflaggingly devoted to whatever ridiculous thing bubbled out of Donald Trump’s mouth five minutes ago” - @paulwaldman.bsky.social unpacks the general traits of a prototype member of Trump cabinet - the worst in U.S. history. Via @atrupar.com
Musical instruments cost the Pentagon "$1.8 million. That included a $98,329 Steinway & Sons grand piano for the Air Force chief of staff’s home, a $26,000 violin, and a $21,750 custom handmade flute from the luxury Japanese brand Muramatsu."
“Massive pools of toxic waste with known carcinogens — their collective volumes estimated at more than half a million Olympic-size swimming pools — sit near the river… As oil-company operations have increased, so have bouts of unexplained illness among residents of Fort Chipewyan.”
Read this whole interview. This woman, Nadia Schadlow, sounds like she has a fourth-grade knowledge of the world.
THIS is the intellectual right?
At best she’s lying for Trump. But she sounds like a chump and a dunderhead.
It is also an indictment of Hudson and Hoover.
Trump's "New Golden Age" for America.
How's it working out for you?
Three separate shootings, all within 30 minutes.
A 19-year-old girl and a man were killed, and a 12-year-old girl was injured. In a country with easy access to guns, safety is no longer something families can count on.
We can’t continue like this.
"About 21 minutes into the officer’s footage, someone can be heard saying, “Keep going” as Martinez’s car approaches the scene. The car briefly stops for some pedestrians, and officers soon appear to become concerned, running toward the vehicle and shouting, “Stop him” and, “Get him out.” …1/2
Here's a thread featuring clips of key moments from the DC Metropolitan Police body camera footage of the March 17, 2025 DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace that I obtained as a result of my FOIA lawsuit:
Awesome work!
This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.
NBC’s Richard Engel: “The White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commanders… they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think it’s a joke and put out material like this.”
New in PN: The bombing of Iranian children is an unforgivable crime
"American disinterest in the lives of people abroad is a resource politicians use to justify cynical wars. It's hard to see on what moral grounds we claim a right to decide the fate of those about whom we clearly care so little."
Thank you! You folks WORK SO HARD!
Just a reminder that Muslims have been on this continent since the first arrival of non-Indigenous people. They were among the first generation of Americans, and have been here ever since.
So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.
That's $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
Thousands of lives lost.
People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
Christian Nationalism is NOT Christianity, but it is a national security threat.
📌 The Military Religious Freedom Foundation says it has received over 200 complaints that troops are being told war with Iran is meant to accelerate “Armageddon.”
It’s been a hard week. If you’re feeling angry, you’re not alone. I see it in your comments. I’m struck by how you are fighting back against this tyranny, nonetheless.
You are giving me hope.
