Malcolm X: "A lie told once is questioned. A lie repeated often enough becomes accepted. And once it becomes 'common sense,' people stop investigating it. That is how deception survives."

….and here we are 😞

Being a sane American right now: It's like the United States is riding in the back-seat of a car and Dad is driving drunk. Mom is the Republican party, riding in the passenger seat: She knows Dad is completely sloshed but she goes along with it because she's afraid of getting beaten up again if she says anything. Some of your brothers and sisters are excited because they like carnival rides and think speed and chaos is entertaining. But you feel slightly insane because you're the only one in the car who understands the danger everyone is in and no one seems capable of stopping the maniac at the wheel.

I can so relate to this.

Incompetent? Or vindictive? What do y'all think?

This is absolutely maddening.

We “can’t afford” Medicaid, to help children with food insecurities or fund education but we can waste millions on these buffoons and their lavish lifestyles.

$25 mil on Surf and Turf for Kegseth

89% of Americans want the Epstein files released.

Stop the Epstein war, prosecute the Epstein oligarchs.

Netanyahu has tried for years to get a US president to go along with his desire for a war with Iran. He finally found one. Then he used chemical weapons on Lebanon. This man is committing war crimes and igniting hatred that will start more killings and destruction everywhere.

Do you support Rep. Massie reading Epstein client list publicly?

Stop the Epstein war, prosecute the Epstein oligarchs.

“The American military is tremendous. It is the greatest in the world.”

I applaud the members of our military and we have very expensive technology.

But organizations are only as good as their leaders, and we have some dumb people running our military. It shows.

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

How on earth can we continue with a World Cup hosted by a nation that is at war with other parts of the world?
It’s crazy! 🤷‍♂️

If only there was another war I could think of in recent memory involving the US in the Middle East, where regime change was promised, didn’t happen, victory was declared and then the whole thing was repeated catastrophically badly at a later date. 🤔

“He is, of course, a serial liar & prone to espousing completely contradictory positions within moments of each other.” It is extraordinary to me that journalists continue to ‘analyse’ Donald Trump without adding this constant caveat. It does readers, listeners & viewers a grave disservice.

Pete Hegseth Blew Billions on Fruit Basket Stands, Chairs, and Crab The Defense Department went on a $93 billion spending spree in 2025.

Kristi Noem spent 220 million on her self-promotion ad and Hegseth said, "Hold my fruit basket."

I wasn't intending to turn this into a thread, but it seems to have happened anyway.
It's about the great plague on our lives: the extreme wealth of a tiny number of people.
And what to do about it.

The Broligarchy's First World War? AI-guided weapons, two out-of-control authoritarians, no legal authority and a toxic mess of masculinity: welcome to the manosphere's first major conflict

NEW: Is this the broligarchy’s first world war? AI, like war & rape, is a hyper-masculine fantasy of God-like power, a myth at the dark heart of what we’re seeing play out in the Gulf. This war hasn’t replaced the Epstein scandal. It is the Epstein scandal.

Ted Lieu Tells Loser Rubio, The
Facts.......

Rubio HUMILIATES Himself During Trump’s GLOBAL PR STUNT YouTube video by Katie Phang

Marco Rubio asked Trump for permission to speak Spanish at the Shield Summit of the Americas, while Pete Hegseth insulted Spanish-speakers by claiming he “only speaks American.” My take on how Rubio’s continued bootlicking demeans the office & our country’s global standing.

Personally, I think this is more about trying to save his job in his newly-drawn district than some sort of moral awakening.

Alternet: Trump's economy lost 92,000 jobs in February. Economist Catherine Rampell said the nation’s terrible jobs report would likely be much better right now if Trump had entered the White House more than a year ago and gone to bed and stayed there.😅

EIGHT DOLLARS A GALLON.

Trump promised to lower gas prices on Day 1. Instead he started a war with Iran and gas in LA just topped $8.

This is sticker shock.

This is his fault.

Republican Christian nationalists who call themselves “pro-life” fall strangely silent while American service members die, schoolchildren are bombed in Iran, and thousands of civilians across the Middle East are killed. Apparently the commandment is: “Thou shalt ignore inconvenient deaths.”
