there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

To the MAGA folks who are screeching about the memorial service for Jesse Jackson getting political:

Here’s Donald Trump getting political and campaigning at the funeral for Lynnette "Diamond" Hardaway (of Diamond and Silk) in 2023.

Spare me your fake outrage now.

It’s about time someone said it out loud on a national news show.

That Trump repeats calls for Iran's unconditional surrender on same day he's got the defence industrial chiefs round for an emergency meeting on military supplies perfectly sums up his grasp of ends & means.

Worst jobs report.

Remember when Trump fired the head of BLS because he didn’t like the jobs report? And then he attempted to cook the books by installing a MAGA person?

Just another example of how so many of their attempts--like mid-decade gerrymandering---just fall flat.

The 1973 oil crisis is seen by some scholars as a big historical moment that allowed neoliberalism to take hold. β€œThe result was an intellectual revolution: a shift to neo-liberalism with a stress on individualism and incentives rather than collectivism and equality, and greater power for finance.”

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.

Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.

We live in Orwellian times.

The costs of supporting Israel’s war on Iran:

- Dead American soldiers
- Dead elementary schoolgirls
- Over $1 Billion/day for combat ops
- Soaring gas prices
- Tanking markets
- Betrayed GCC allies
- Another constitutional crisis

…and growing.
