On Chris Hayes podcast with Jamelle Bouie they talked about a possible reason for optimism: Project 2025 seems to have deeply penetrated TikTok. Anecdotally, my 15 yr old mentioned to me all the counselors she works with at camp have been talking about it and what rights they’re worried about losing

I can't stop thinking about how Trump would eliminate our free, public weather service, NOAA. It's an institution that goes back 53 years and protects Americans everyday with warnings for tornados, thunderstorms and more. That's the Project 2025 plan. www.theatlantic.com/science/arch...

‘Doublespeak’ is language that deliberately obscures, disguises, distorts, or reverses the meaning of words. Intentional ambiguity in language or actual inversions of meaning, it disguises the nature of the truth. Doublespeak is most closely associated with political language.

Explains a lot. The tenets of truth have become so twisted by those in power, who abuse their power, that if you dare to questions their motives, their lack of ethics, you are the one who’s the villain.

A fresh wave of anxiety washed across Europe today after J.D. Vance — an isolationist who believes America has been protecting Europe “for far too long” — got the nod as Trump’s running mate.

J.D. Vance will chide Europe — that’s it … for nowwww.politico.eu US vice presidents are doomed to marinate as a mouthpiece for their boss. But if they bide their time, power may come.

I will never forget the interview, shortly after Ozy Media Inc. was formed, where Carlos Watson said he named it after the poem, because "the lesson you take from [Ozymandias] is that you have to dream big." So that's why liberal arts education is important.

For anyone who’s wondering why a right wing, gun-advocate 20 year old might try to assassinate Trump, Google “accelerationism” and then read this transcript of Alex Jones talking about how Trump getting assassinated would be the “best case scenario” for the conservative cause.

Chaos in Wales for Labour. will be interesting to see how things develop, will Labour who gave us devolution decide it went too far and try to roll back powers ? They have a big enough majority to do so, and Scotland rejected independence by not voting SNP so they can't complain if the union returns

Now that the tory liars and fraudsters are no longer in charge to collaborate with the mess all these privatised utilities have been making, lots more headlines like this will start coming to light. #TaxTheProfiteers

To replace the broken spare part we need for our washing machine will cost more than we paid for the brand new washing machine. It’s only 4 years old. So we’re buying a new one. What a waste. Fucking ridiculous.
