The US right and their propaganda channels are out of their fucking minds, or is that no news?

Everything's fine in America...

No laws were broken in the making of this bot: no waterboarding please and thank you.

Has Trump ended the war in Ukraine yet? Or Gaza? What’s taking him so long? #USPol

This is worth reading. And very frightening.

Comments about the oligarchy in America should include union leadership, not just corporate executives.

No, Republicans are not better for the stock market. Or the economy.

This is satire, not sedition: please don't torture me.

Immigration attorney, a lifelong US citizen born and raised, gets a DHS letter telling her to deport.

So the next few steps are starting to show:
1) #Cathay stops rare material exports
2) #Murrica says ”we have the gear and ppl to mine what we all need”
3) Murrica says ”we’ll do it on #Greenland” and Global Rich People say yes bc profits
4) They go, and never leave

It could be done in Ukraine, just toss #Putler out - but noooo, their brocode forbids it

The thing that gets me about the "I didn't vote in 2024 because Kamala was imperfect" crowd is that they assumed that the rest of us were voting for her (even more, we were trying to vote for Congressional representatives and other officer holders that would try to chip away at everything that's been going wrong since at least Nixon). And, maybe some were truly voting for Kamala in hopes she'd be more than just "not #Trump". But a significant percentage of us were simply voting for the hopes that we'd simply have the option to vote again in 2026 and 2028. We were voting in 2024 in the hopes that we'd have the opportunity to try to start righting the ship.

Now, though, thanks in large part to the "I won't vote at all" crowd, that's gone. The ship is still heading for the rocks, but now it's at full throttle and its billionaire-cabal "course correction" was to steer it at the most devastating part of the rocks. So, "congratulations, guys".

Looks like the woossou... emergency measures have plateaued it for now.
Also some of the re-investment promises just to keep the lights on could be helping, and may even drive it up again briefly.

But with the impact of all the closures so far, and the massive agriculture debt that's coming, it will probably continue to drop soon.

Most empires fall due to internal failures, not external. It's apparently our turn.

Kudos to Newsweek for announcing this. #50501movement

One thing we must grant. When our 'Murican brothers and sisters screw themselves, they screw it deep, hard and epically. Whatever the outcome, bards will be singing of them for ages.
