Fuck banks. Credit unions are a better way to go, anyway.

Amazing

Have you heard of Citizens Bank? No? Well Citizens Bank happens to finance ICE detention centers through CoreCivic & Geo Group.

Citizens Bank might need to learn the lesson that the public taught Target! Surely mass closing of bank accounts isn’t good for a bank

I'm shaken, not stirred.

This is a leaked video of Bibi in which he implicitly admits that Israel knows how to maintain its occupation of the US.
I am of Semitic descent on both sides. I hope Sen. Bernie is the next prez bc he is capable of liberating the US from the Israeli occupation without being accused of anti-Semitism

I hope they do it tomorrow

Two months after Rénee Good’s death, her loved ones in Colorado grapple with loss Classmates and mentors remember Good as a creative force who moved everyone around her.

I really wanted to know more about Renee Good, killed by ICE in January. Fortunately, my editor allowed me to take some time to do a deep dive into who she was before she died. Read and listen to what I found out about her from her Colorado tribe here: www.cpr.org/2026/03/11/r...

Almost. And too many Democrats.

Rubio has some big shoes to fill.

UPDATE: Trump's cabinet officially becomes a cabal of cowardly clowns. A photo resurfaced of Marco Rubio wearing oversized shoes the day after a story broke that Trump is "scaring" his staff into wearing his favorite footwear. We wish we were making this up.

God damn. We can't keep waiting this long between protests.

Putin. Owns. Trump.

Period. That's the post.

I was just thinking the same. Except a little more, rather than a lot more. (A lot more would be even better.)

LANDERS: Why did the FBI seize election records in AZ?

TRUMP: They probably thought the election was rigged

LANDERS: It wasn't though

TRUMP: Oh really? How do you know?

LANDERS: Your own AG said it

TRUMP: If you say it wasn't rigged, you're a rotten reporter

LANDERS: Where's the evidence?

NIH director launches "Scientific Freedom" lectures with non-scientist First speaker minimizes climate change, COVID risks—and is a lab leak proponent.

If you’re wondering why I’m ranting today about what scientific freedom is and is not, here is why.

Jay Bhattacharya is a fool who cannot stand that he was—and continues to be—called out by legitimate scientists for his bullshit.

Another hush money payment.

Epstein Adviser Reveals Settlement With Woman Who Also Accused Trump Jeffrey Epstein’s accountant Richard Kahn admitted to the settlement payment during a closed-door House deposition.

"Representative Ro Khanna told PBS News Hour’s Ali Rogin Wednesday that Richard Kahn, Epstein’s accountant, confirmed that the alleged sex trafficker’s estate had made a payment to a woman who accused both Epstein and Trump."

Remember when Trump summoned oil executives to Mar-a-lago, asked them for a billion dollars for his campaign and promised them it'd pay off for them?

It's paying off for them now.

The phrase "adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort" comes to mind.

Now where have I heard that phrase?

Trump pressed oil executives to give $1 billion for his campaign, people in industry say "This is a scandal" and "an indictment of the system" — but probably legal, one legal watchdog told POLITICO.

Trump sons are war profiteers. Just like their father.

Michael Flynn pushed Trump to use the military to seize voting machines in 2020 and is now tied to a draft “emergency” order to let Trump ban mail voting and machines nationwide. Now he’s calling sitting members of Congress “fraudulent,” laying the groundwork to dismiss any future loss as “fraud.”

In Pulitzer Prize winning and World Press Photo of the Year winning 1968 photograph taken on the streets of Saigon, South Virtnamese police chief Nguyen Ngoc Loan executes a captured Viet Cong captain Nguyen Van Lem

The govt we were trying to prop up in Vietnam weren't exactly the good guys.

This is hilarious.

Also, completely enraging.

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.”

I don't think that's it. I think Democratic senators find it hard to buck the Senate's old (&, in decades past, perhaps, admirable) tradition of comity and good will toward fellow senators irrespective party and policy positions.

Thanks. It has also been evident in Zuckerberg's grandiose belief that he could envision the wider social and political (incl geopolitical) ramifications of different decisions he made along the way. See also Sam Altman.

I'm sure it'll be fine.
