The brutal forces of silencing that serve the few against the many, I should have said. This is our country in a nutshell.

So much for protecting girls, someone remarked. Good to hear people in the crowd shouting for her rights.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere.

It means more power for them and less freedom for you.
Fox has reached an agreement to acquire Roku for $22 billion, after already buying Tubi for $440 million in 2020.

This marks the latest case of media consolidation in an industry controlled by a smaller and smaller number of huge corporations.

I really like these types of efforts. This is trench warfare and we can do things at the hyper-local level to throw sand in the gears.

An extraordinary rebuke of Todd Blanche and his Justice Department.

Federal judge dismisses the indictment of Abrego Garcia (an exceedingly rare outcome in a criminal case).

Finding of vindictive prosecution and "an abuse of prosecuting power."

The opinion name checks Blanche nearly 30 times.

Thomas Massie pushed for the release of the Epstein files, and the response has been tens of millions in outside spending, smear campaigns, and coordinated attacks. If this is what they do to a sitting member of Congress, imagine what Epstein survivors face when considering whether to come forward.

The bond between this mother humpback and her calf is a beautiful reflection of the devotion Mother Earth shows us every day. Whether it’s clearing our air, restoring our lands, or defending our oceans, let's commit to showing our love through the care and protection she has always given us. 🐋🌿🌬️

“Their veins ran with Anglo-Saxon courage” is some serious Madison Grant/Lothrop Stoddard stuff, straight up 1920s Klan/eugenicist language.

$400M for Trump's ballroom?

On top of:
-$1.5T for the Pentagon
-$170B for ICE and Border Patrol
-$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet
-$496M to send National Guard into cities
-$230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation"
-$100M for Trump's golf outings

But nothing for working people.

Gerry Conway hated that cops and military had co-opted the Punisher logo and started an initiative crowdsourcing art from People of Color that incorporated the logo with Black Lives Matter, and the funds went to a local chapter.

Rest in peace.
Gerry Conway has sadly passed away at the age of 73.

He co-created the Punisher, Ben Reilly, Jackal, Man-Wolf and the first Ms. Marvel.

He also wrote one of the most iconic comic book stories in history — “The Night Gwen Stacy Died”

Is someone going to tell him that the flu killed more US troops in WWI than any battle did (and that war had chemical weapons so horrific that they were banned afterwards)?
Breaking news: The military will no longer require U.S. troops to receive the annual flu vaccine, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said, rolling back what he described as “overreaching mandates that only weaken our war-fighting capabilities.” https://wapo.st/4eAG2sx
Annual flu vaccine no longer required for U.S. military, Hegseth says
The move alarmed some public health experts, who warned that it would weaken troop readiness.
