🚨Jeff Bezos' wedding last summer cost about $50M. That, alone, could have saved all 300 positions cut today at The Washington Post for a year. Actually, he could have ensured there were no staff cuts for the next decade and he'd still have net worth of 249B.
Thank you Lizzie Johnson.
Violence is hard to come by in Minnesota. But in this case 100% of the violence comes from verified outside agitators, most of them, it turns out, from Texas. They work for DHS, Trump's state security ministry, which targets US citizens who dislike Trump. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Cheese is good for me? Finally this administration does something I approve of. Oh wait, they probably mean Velveeta

I don't resent poor people who use food stamps to buy another soft drink.
I resent rich people who take away the funds for food stamps to buy another yacht.

Why would you cut funding for programs serving the deaf and the blind while benefitting to the wealthiest 0.1%? If we look for comparable cases, we see that this is exactly what governments obsessed with eugenics always do. The deaf and blind are to disappear, not to be mainstreamed into society.

The top story of the moment is the one story that our most influential newsrooms won’t touch: That the United State has become an authoritarian state. At some point, the evidence becomes overwhelming — and we have reached that point. The frog in the metaphorical pot of water has boiled to death.
Adam Tooze looks at the delusional nonsense that masquerades as trade policy in the Trump era. No economists take it seriously because it isn't.
We are run by lunatics. How will we emerge from this?
“They just put us in a cell without anything, phone call, attorney, speaking to anyone. They just threw us in a cell.” George Retes told ICE officials that he is a veteran and citizen just trying to get to work, during a farm raid in California, Retes was imprisoned for 3 days.
Climate change is without doubt the greatest threat to humanity. It’s not a future problem it’s a today problem. We’re already observing our planet warming at an ever increasing rate and that our weather is becoming more extreme, i.e more extreme droughts & more extreme flash flood events.
Peaceful protesters were attacked and arrested in Cincinnati for standing up for an asylum seeker who faces death if deported.
Police ignored actual threats and targeted people with signs and cameras. Some of them journalists.
This is what repression looks like.

Far smarter take on the situation here from Ian Bremmer than we see on US cable, which ranges from totally hysterical and lacking any actual basis in fact (Rupert Murdoch TV), to half-hysterical (Jack Tepper) to something coming closer to actual journalism (ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS).
RFK Jr ousts entire CDC vaccine advisory committee so he can replace them with quacks and charlatans.
"Nobody’s going to spit on our police officers," says Trump, who four months ago pardoned people who beat police officers with pipes, flagpoles, baseball bats and 2-by-4s at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
