Just read an article about how Andrew Yang has approached Elon to form a new third party 😂😂😂😂 I will admit being intrigued by the Forward party a couple years ago but this is one of the dumbest things I've read in ages. LOL #uspol
Got home from work. Went outside to sit on the porch to wind down. Reading about Marines getting deployed against American citizens. But now I smell the gross Tyson chicken factory farm down the street, today was "harvest day" where they crammed all the 40,000 chickens that had never seen the sun into old diesel trucks to go get slaughtered. Had to go back inside. Making tofu for dinner. #Uspol#factoryfarm#vegan
I went to a Bulwark Live event last night in Nashville and it was awesome! It made me feel hopeful for the first time in a while. One of the highlights was Justin Jones, one of my state legislators who got kicked out by the Tennessee republican supermajority a few years ago after trying to force change after yet another school shooting. He's inspirational. And only 29!! He said as punishment for the incident a few years ago he was removed from his committees and put on the agriculture committee because he has no experience with agriculture. But he started traveling around the state meeting with farmers, and now he's one of the only elected officials meeting with them about the impacts of tariffs. He said a lot of people in deep red districts are changing their minds about democrats because they're the only ones trying to talk to and help people. This is how to do it!! #TheBulwark#JustinJones#TennesseeThree
Eew. This is a great example of why I ditched Audible years ago and now get audiobooks from Chirp.
Even Audiobooks Aren't Safe From AI Slop ... And as an added incentive, it's offering better royalty rates to authors who use Audible's AI to create an audiobook exclusively for the platform, Bloomberg reported.
A friend of mine recently returned from a trip to the EU. At customs in Nashville coming home, she said she saw a white European female traveler having to take off a jacket and show all her tattoos and explain what they mean. CBP is evidently targeting everyone, not just people they think look "foreign." Nobody should visit the US.
Before the cameras started at the White House today, Trump said he wants to start sending "home growns" to el Salvador and that the dictator there needs to build five more prisons for them. Thanks a lot to all the people who didn't vote for Harris because she wasn't perfect. #authoritarianism#Trump#Harris#uspol
Understand this: There is no going back. If, tomorrow, Donald Trump revoked his entire regime of tariffs, it would not matter. It might temporarily delay some economic pain, but the rest of the world now understands that it must move forward without America.
We have a deeply stupid government . . . But also, we have the government we deserve. The American age is over. And it ended because the American people were no longer worthy of it. #Uspol https://www.thebulwark.com/p/the-american-age-is-over
If anyone wants to read the article about how a man with legal US residency got kidnapped and dumped in the el Salvador torture center, here's a gift article. It's pretty enraging. This seems like a pretty big tipping point to me.
Just heard about MSNBC firing pretty much all the anchors who aren't white. I never really watched anyone except Joy Reid on the network, now I will watch nothing. It's too bad Rachel Maddow didn't resign in protest. She's worth $35 million, how much more money does she need. #MSNBC#joyreid
American women need to get passports. Or don't change your name if you get married. --- The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act could prevent many married women from being able to register to vote.
Much of the documentation listed under the SAVE Act is based on having a birth certificate that matches the person registering to vote. However, as many as 69 million married women in the United States have changed their legal name since getting married, meaning their name does not match their birth certificate.
