This TikToker just caught Walmart inflating the weight of chicken, and overcharging her.

It was posted days after Walmart paid $45 million to settle a lawsuit accusing it of inflating the weight of groceries to rip customers off.

The fine doesn't seem to have stopped them.

A Tesla manager who was let go today described Elon Musk to me as a 'pigeon CEO'.

'He comes in, shit all over us, and goes.'

Did you know that there's corn liquor in your gas tank because of the riots at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago?

The modern preëminence of the Iowa Caucuses came from the aftermath, & lead to the disasters we have today. This is how history is really made… 🧵1

What I know now is, a D&C is a medical procedure — also known as an abortion.

I now understand how abortion is healthcare.

I also realize, now, we were actually lucky.

Of course Trump romanticizes Gettysburg, calling it “beautiful.” Americans killed and maimed 50,000 other Americans. That’s 3 days of ecstasy for Trump.

once you realize how much space is needed to accommodate cars you can never unsee it

My worry about the upcoming election is that not enough Americans understand in their bones that the nation they have known, their lives as they have lived them, might be wiped away in day.

Echoing in my head are the words of a Slovak friend who made a fateful decision in 1968:

You read this right: in Florida you will be charged with felony assault if someone else has an anxiety reaction near you. The law doesn’t require them to prove you did anything to them, just that they didn’t feel good around you. salon.com/2024/04/04/tou…

Robert F Kennedy Jr is in the news again, so it’s time to talk about the effect of third parties on presidential elections. They're a scam. A THREAD.

Not just a spoiler. A conspirator. A THREAD.

If you're looking for eclipse glasses right now you understand why same day voter registration is important

Seriously we went through Nixon, Reagan, and Trump in 2016 AND 2020 doing this.

I want to know about what he is doing in 2024.

I’d be willing to bet you didn’t know the FTC just released a report about why grocery prices are high and that’s 100% due to corporate greed.

I’d bet you probably hadn’t heard because mainstream media doesn’t think this is front page news.

I’d bet they don’t think it’s front…

They sell ads and they paid him. It’s illegal. The Ethics committee and DOJ must open an investigation.

#TrumpTheDictator As I explain here, if he's re-elected he won't be a demagogue, he'll be a dictator:

'If RFK Jr or any third-party candidate truly wanted to change the system, they would **work to change the system**. They would organize with others to establish, say, ranked-choice voting....

They aren’t doing that, because changing the system isn’t the point–scamming you is.'

Republicans are substantially less likely to understand how marginal tax rates work.

'Suppose that your income put you at the very top of the 28% tax bracket and you earned one more dollar such that you were now in the 33% tax bracket. Your tax bill would go up _____?'

The police shot the girl they were supposedly trying to rescue after she was kidnapped and then police lied about it and hid the video for two years. It's important to understand that the highest levels of the policing bureaucracy knew about this and attempted to cover it up.
