The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums.

He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up.

How is this not 25th Amendment territory? How is he not an embarrassment to this entire country?

I'm starting to think there aren't that many bad people. There are bad incentives and people that follow them. Change the incentives -> change the system.

Greta welcomed back in Europe

The Nobel Peace Prize should be awarded to Greta Thunberg & the participants of the Sumud Flotilla for being able to break the genocidal Israeli blockade after 19 years and for successfully promoting human rights and international law by putting their lives at risk. @nobelprize.bsky.social

"This is supposed to be an oversight hearing" -- Schiff helpfully ticks through all of the incriminating questions -- and there are many of them -- that Bondi refused to answer during today's hearing

Greta Thunberg is such a class act, even when she's been horrifically mistreated by the IDF she does not make it about herself and remains consistent in her messaging in wanting the relentless campaign of oppression and genocide against the Palestinian people to end.

For every €1 provided through a Basic Income For Artists pilot program in Ireland, the government got €1.46 back. So it’s being made permanent.

Over and over we see it. It saves public money to provide public housing. And it makes public money to provide basic income.

We can’t afford to NOT do it.
