It's pretty crazy how the American right is so goddamn gullible that there's an entire digital infrastructure in foreign countries that's accumulating capital just by manipulating them

So all the psychopathic, unfunny, incendiary right-wing meme pages with US flags in their bios are not even American... and yet, they are artificially boosted to the feeds of Americans? Sounds like a major national security crisis that both parties are conveniently ignoring.

Setting aside for a second the lunacy and authoritarianism surrounding the Trump/Hegseth threat to court martial Mark Kelly, it is also politically moronic. No military court or jury would uphold this, and you only do Kelly a tremendous favor by making him more popular than ever.

The chances of a successful prosecution here are zero point zero percent. Everything with this administration is performative nonsense to cater to an ever-shrinking base. We don’t live in North Korea. Anyone here can freely state that service members must refuse unlawful orders.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT: The Department of War has received serious allegations of misconduct against Captain Mark Kelly, USN (Ret.). In accordance with the Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 U.S.C. § 688, and other applicable regulations, a thorough review of these allegations…

DOGE saved no money, cost tens of thousands of people their jobs, decreased government efficiency, and actually led to death for people whose lives depended on certain medicines as well as food. I heard from someone close to him that Musk is actually regretful (he was high…

MAHA is one of the biggest frauds of this admin

The EPA has approved a new pesticide that contains PFAS, or 'forever chemicals', to be used on vegetables like lettuce, broccoli and potatoes.

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals. The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry. Where is the MAHA outcry?

The legacy of DOGE is not that it failed. It's that it destroyed: 1. faith in real cost conscious governance 2. the careers of committed govt employees 3. scientific research and the biomedical breakthroughs that come with it 4. countless lives of the world's poorest

Remember when Trump’s ‘DOGE’ task force supposedly uncovered massive fraud — yet not a single person was charged?

They had this data all along. They knew it was all troll farms. They did nothing to stop it.

Every major social media platform and most news organizations are owned by a small handful of right-wing billionaires.

Why are Americans so easily propagandized?

So an unauthorized pack of amateurs gets to take a sledgehammer to the federal government and then walk away without a shred of accountability? When Democrats retake the House, putting this circus under a microscope should be a Day One priority.

Now that we know MAGA is a FOREIGN BOT PSYOP, the next question becomes who is FUNDING this?

Why isn't the mainstream media picking up the MAGA foreign accounts on X story?


Avidreader reposted

The EPA is greenlighting pesticides made with PFAS, actual forever chemicals, as active ingredients on foods like lettuce, broccoli, & potatoes. They’re also planning to weaken drinking water rules & relax PFAS reporting. This is a public health disaster being signed into policy

Imagine knowing your platform was a playground for predators, fueling teen depression, eating disorders, and suicide and deciding the best course of action was… absolutely nothing. Meta didn’t just “miss” anything. They saw it. They measured it. They reported it internally. And…

According to the brief, Meta was aware that millions of adult strangers were contacting minors on its sites; that its products exacerbated mental health issues in teens; and that content related to eating disorders, suicide, and child sexual abuse was frequently detected, yet…

DOGE is ending 8 months early. It will have cost us $135B to rehire workers, $21.7B in waste, a potential loss of more than $500B billion in tax revenue over 10 years & a loss of $10B in economic activity with the loss of programs that previously returned billions to taxpayers.

DOGE wasn't a failure at all, if you just look past the obviously false stated goals of 'cost reduction': A) hoovered up untold amounts of confidential private data B) destroyed ideological institutions that Elon/RWers hate C) killed a ton of (poor) brown people

Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY25 was not only than in FY24 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump took office.* The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually kill millions.
