Capitalism "can never be a free market, because the concentration of wealth that it inevitably brings will overflow into the political system and mean that the state will continue to skew the market in favour of big capital." -- Steve Owens

You're giving them too much credit.
When you’ve lost LINDSEY GRAHAM
REPORTER: Do we have any overt or covert forces inside Iran now?
PETE HEGSETH: Uh, I wouldn't tell you that if we did.
S&P is down almost 5% this year finance.yahoo.com/quote/ES%3DF/ No one thought it could be done, but Donald Trump did it!
Yes, I do believe that if the Vikings had the technology to build the electric guitar, then they would have discovered heavy metal and easily conquered the planet.
I'm not sure why this is considered "controversial".
Amazing how much damage one malignant narcissist can cause.

Everyone should call their lawmakers to tell them to pass this bill. Right now.
Obviously, I’m under no illusion that this bill has an easy path — but I’m also under no illusion that trying to pass it is pointless. We’re talking about the prospect of a nuclear apocalypse.
So pass this on.
South Berwick, Maine:
600 Mainers inside, 150 Mainers outside.
The movement we are building will win this seat back for working Mainers and end Susan Collins's career.
Everything is reducible to "chaos" and "affordability," apparently.
ProPublica Wins Lawsuit Over Access to Court Records in U.S. Navy Cases
A judge ruled that the Navy’s long-standing policy to withhold records from its criminal trials violated the First Amendment.
Trump to America: you fucking idiots, you utter simpering assholes. Shut up and clap! Thank you for your attention to this matter.
But the important thing is that Netanyahu and Donald Trump are having fun!
Ah, the 1970s oil price shocks! THAT'S when America was great! Such looooong gas lines! Such hiiiiiiigh prices!
The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed...
"How will you pay for it?"
The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts...
"How much do you need?"
It doesn't have to be this way.
Oil shocks & the draft! Back to the 1970s is how we Make America Great Again!
IMPEACH and LOCK HIM UP!!
UPDATE: “We want to acknowledge a mistake made…”
Fox admits they aired the WRONG Dignified Transfer (to cover for Trump wearing a baseball hat) — and tries to make up for it by reading the names of the fallen soldiers they erased (to help Trump).
(H/T @svdate.bsky.social )
A Minneapolis clinic reports a more than 50 percent drop in new clients as patients delay or avoid care.
oh my god? i mean i know fox crossed the rubicon a long time ago but…oh my god? youre supposed to be a “news” network and oh my god?
Iran regime change advocates got what they spent decades pushing for—the US to launch a big war to collapse Iran’s government—and they’re still not happy.
Because what they pushed for years was a fantasy of a smooth, easy regime change war that gets everyone to tell them they were right all along.
there is no opposition party in the U.S.
The entire power elite of the USA owns this savagery forever, including the theoretical opposition party, unless you beat the drums of IMPEACHMENT for Trump immediately and don’t stop until he’s gone. He’s given you 700,000 reasons now and it’s one of the only tools you have. USE IT.
Part of the reason "Breaking Bad" is one of the greatest TV shows of all time is that its central thesis, which feels true, is that there is a monster inside all human beings, and given the chance to come out, it will, indeed, come out.
Anyway, here's an article about a Let the Monster Out Factory.
RIP food costs
Camp Guards sure seem to think it’s a death camp.
I’m sure Iranians will be very open to a leader chosen by the people responsible for this.

Perfect distillation of what apologetics for Israel looks like for a certain kind of racist
This is not something we can reform. It has to be abolished and everyone involved needs to be held accountable.
