the general tenor of press coverage of the economy over the last couple of years has been dumb and wrong

@ Wex on threads

A CO woman asked me to write homophobic & anti-Semitic jokes to express her hostility to gay-marriage & Jews in general to promote her non-existent web-design business. Do I have to?

Six mass shootings in America since yesterday. And if wasn’t woke ideology, library books, or drag shows that caused them. It’s guns. It’s always the guns.

Mirror Mirror on the wall…🪞

The blue tick death spiral, in three short paragraphs.

Here are some things the Founding Fathers definitely did NOT support:

- any state-supported religion
- foreign influence in US politics
- 9 unelected oligarchs legislating
- demagogues with cult followings
- unregulated use of military weapons

BREAKING: Google has removed the vast majority of Twitter links from their search results… Elon’s decision to block the Google “bot” from crawling their site is reportedly to blame.

Twitter will now be invisible on the world’s largest search engine 🫥

Yes, the Republican National Committee did indeed post a Fourth of July tweet with the WRONG flag. In case you’re wondering, this is the flag of Liberia, a country in West Africa.

You can’t make this shit up. 🙄

Thank a Capitol cop you’re still free, America

Just a fact that — like last year and the one before — millions of Americans have less freedoms this 4th of July as a result of the rogue, corrupt, conservative Supreme Court.

Honor them with action. Vow to fight gun violence in their names. Text JOIN to 644-33. Fight for independence from gun violence. It’s the patriotic thing to do.

And no notoriety for the shooter.

“So an elected, and Democratic-controlled, Congress can write and pass a progressive law, but an unelected and very conservative Supreme Court can just rewrite it… These are not neutral judges. These are politicians in robes.”

My take on our rogue Court: msnbc.com/the-mehdi-hasa…

“It is time for everybody in our legislature including the ones who would like to walk around with an ar15 lapel pin, it is time for every one of them to face the voters and if they're not going to do something, then voters are going to have to vote them out”

Your annual reminder that the people who blame liberals for “cancel culture” once tried to cancel NPR for tweeting excerpts from the Declaration of Independence on Independence Day.

(deep sigh) All six wildfires in the Pacific Cascade Region this weekend were caused by fireworks.

Another morning in America

Through my cancer diagnosis, I’ve seen the costs of the American healthcare system firsthand - and I’m lucky enough to have insurance. No American should have to forgo the treatment they need to fight cancer because of the cost.
