I think we can now stop saying “google it” when looking for info. No one will find it there.

A 12 percent drop in the US murder rate is wild. And I say that as someone who has been spitting stats and rolling my eyes at people who say "crime has gotten so bad..."

It hasn't been "bad" by any real metric since the late 90s and even when it was "bad" if you're middle class (and not at risk of domestic violence*) you have zero things to worry about even in 1989.

*domestic violence improved for a few decades but then stalled. But, when people fret about crime this isn't what they mean.

I’ve said this before but apparently it hasn’t sunk in but if you say “Biden has lost my vote”, don’t expect anyone to listen to you or be surprised he’s not out gunning for it. The election is 6 months out. If there’s no way you’re voting for him, nobody fucking cares what you want.

You can enjoy likely a 7-2 or 8-1 conservative SCOTUS that will be grinding down our rights for the next generation or three. Enjoy that.

Via Obama advisor Eric Schultz:

wow - NYT reporter says their nonstop coverage of #Biden’s age is retribution for not giving their boss an interview:

“It’s A.G. He’s the one who is pissed [that] Biden hasn’t done any interviews and quietly encourages all the tough reporting on his age.”

If you use the election to make a statement about Gaza by not voting, wish your trans friends well in the camps they’ll be sent to.

I don't understand why people keep using the word "election" when it comes to Putin.

So, what's the thing, what's the big thing no one can help you with? How do you cope with it?

What!!?? You mean pharmaceutical corporations place profits over lives? Get out...
I swear to God; If @ProPublica ever falls into the hands of billionaire interests, I quit.
They're ALL we've got left. Literally.

I'm watching old (past -10 years or so) PBS Frontline docs and retrospectively, I'd say that our nation would look a LOT different rn, had people been watching this stuff.
Many sourced by Pro-Publica and AP they are absolutely mind boggling when looking in perspective to today.
It's a f*cking shame that our memory spans are only 3-4 weeks.
Seriously. Watch this shit right here...it's gobsmacking.

The NYT WANTS you to be tired. They're trying to mind-fuck you.

honestly, I'm quite tired of the assessments, purporting that kremlin assets, such as mvsk are acting in any sort of good faith capacities.
Mvsk knows exactly what he's doing and why he's doing it. NOT because he was somehow misled by a statement made by putin or some other bullshit.
Even Snyder is being far too generous in his remarks.

In case you missed it, major corporations are major contributors to inflation, because they can raise prices with impunity.

Our rejection of anti-trust law has led directly to record profits (just because we can, say CEOs). Can we rekindle the spark?

Who else masks other than science believing, or compromised elderly folks who are likely to vote? ...and the timing?
This is simply an underhanded scheme to suppress democratic voters.

Notice how these shyte media companies and trolls have STFU about Joe’s age and mental acuity since the SOTU speech.

¹/3 Wanna know what will be our nation's undoing?
The incessant grace and insistence by democrats, the left and sane people in general, to make arguments and excuses for, and implying that mike johnson or ANY republican is operating in good faith.
Johnson did NOT 'do the right thing' because he found compassion in his heart through daily briefings and blah blah blah. He has no heart nor soul. I haven't yet figured out exactly why he allowed Ukraine aid to be put to a vote, but I assure you...

Fck @thehill and every anti Biden bullshit story they concoct.
I'm fcking done with them.

axeshun, 22 days ago to random

Yeah...dark "jokes" is a great way to frame the ascension of the 4th reich.
I hope someone in this global fcking network of billionaire interests caves, out of absolute shame and guilt, to reveal the homongous international crime syndicate octopus, which literally wants us all fcking dead.

'“We are seeing younger voters defecting more to Trump. And Black voters as well,” Taglia said of the results. The reason? “Among young voters, it lights up as a Christmas tree: economy and housing affordability. For Black voters, it’s very similar.”' Miami Herald

#Democrats and #Progressives, it doesn't matter that #Trump would be worse for the housing crisis. People who have lost or are desperate to not lose the roof over their head aren't thinking about national politics much.
