Without greed, there'd be very little social distinction. If we sought to have only what we needed, and shared the rest, we'd see each other as equal. Greed sets in motion exploitation. It's easier to exploit, and allow others to exploit, when you think someone is less than. Race is just a construct to give people an excuse to act like assholes.

I say really bad about you, sir. It true.

Unbelievable. ABC runs a “Cavs vs. Knicks” Eastern Conference Finals ad. It claims Game 1 is Sunday. That’s adorable. Make sure the Pistons see this. 🎥 @HOOriKANE

You gave your opinion. It wasn't popular. Save words.

"I wasss jusssth mumbling with Sthrump."

Yes. Conservative women act beneath contempt.

Hi my lovelies!!!

This is great, and couldn't be more appropriate.

I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t. Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. RT if you're with me.

A voice of reason in the madness.

😂 That little fella got served!

Happy to help, sir. From Judge Ellis: "Bovino admitted in his deposition that he lied multiple times about the events that occurred in Little Village that prompted him to throw tear gas at protesters." "Bovino and DHS have represented that a rock hit Bovino in the helmet before he threw tear gas. ...On the first day," of his deposition "Bovino admitted that he was not hit with a rock until after he had deployed tear gas...

Accurate.

Alex Pretti was a Minneapolis ICU nurse who spent his days caring for and saving others. Today, he was shot and killed by a Border Patrol Agent. Alex’s life was extinguished by state violence. We must tell the truth about what is happening. My father warned us, “When evil men plot, good men must plan. When evil men burn and bomb, good men must build and bind.” What we are witnessing now (masked raids, people taken without due process, vigilante, Gestapo, and slave patrol-like tactics normalized under the color of law) is a moral crisis. Nonviolence demands more than outrage; it demands action. Congress must dismantle ICE; enact just, humane immigration policies; and ensure implementation of the policies by people who honor the humanity of Black and Brown immigrants, respect those raising their voices in support of immigrants, and seek the safety of community. The blood of those who are being kidnapped and unjustly killed by agents with impunity is not only on the hands of those who pull the trigger, but on every lawmaker and every court that has the power to intervene and chooses silence. Creating the Beloved Community requires truth, accountability, and the courage to act before more lives are lost. #Minneapolis #CallToAction #ShowUpCongress #BelovedCommunity

The problem isn't Trump. The problem is the US. When the outside world observes Trump's insane behaviour and his threats against allies, and we at the same time observe that there is no real action from the US public, Congress, the US Supreme Court, or the US media about this insanity, we will all have to conclude that the US accepts this behaviour. The public in the US think the US is entitled to a certain position in the world where there is no room for decent behaviour and where there are no norms and rules. That means that we all have to conclude that the US — not only Trump — has betrayed the international order that the US, with its Western partners, were the main architects of after the Second World War. This is the conclusion that Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney so clearly laid out in his speech at Davos yesterday. We simply cannot trust the US to play by the rules any more. Therefore, we also fundamentally have to ask ourselves — should we trust the financial and economic structure which is an integral part of the global rules-based order? Americans live in the illusion that the US can do everything on its own, despite the fact that the US for nearly 20 years has lived beyond its means. US private and government consumption has been funded by, among others, European central banks and pension funds. But we now have to ask ourselves — why would we trade in dollars? Why would we put our savings into US Treasury bonds? If the US is not a rules-based society, we cannot trust the dollar to be a stable currency, and it would be insane to hold dollars. As domestic US institutions are eroded and governance structures destroyed, the US will be turned into an emerging market economy — or more accurately, a de-merging economy. If the US threatens the territory of allies, then the US acts as an authoritarian bully nation. Nobody in their right mind would lend money to the US government. If the US doesn't live up to its international obligations and respect the sovereignty of other nations, why would we expect the US government to honour its debts? If Trump can tariff nations that will not give up their territory, then there is certainly no reason to believe that the US will not introduce capital controls. And if that is a risk, why would you risk investing in the US? It is not a question about Europe standing up to the US. It is a question about being prudent with our investments — about reducing risks. Every day Trump remains in office, distrust of the US increases, and the cost for the US will go up day by day. And this is irreversible. It takes years to build trust, but you can destroy it by your actions in minutes. Europe has now completely lost trust in the US. And so has Canada. It is up to the people of the US to demonstrate that Trump is an 'outlier', and it is up to the American people to stop him. If you don't do that, we will have to assume that this is what the US is about — whether the name of the President is Trump or something else, whether the President is a Republican or a Democrat.

Minnesota resident: “I’m a huge patriot. I love America. I have a son in the army. I’m proud of our country. I'm ashamed of what’s happening right now…I’m ashamed of ICE. I think it's extremely un-American."

Heartbreak in Minneapolis. Heartbreak for a young family. Heartbreak for a city, a state, a country. An administration can say one thing to try and save face, but the truth rises. People are at their breaking point, and of course, why wouldn’t they be? Aren’t we all exhausted? Haven’t we all had enough? So many things have brought us here to this moment, where for so many our country is unrecognizable. People are on edge. They are afraid. Life changes in a second. Renee Nicole Good’s family and friends know this truth. There is no going back, only forward. My fellow citizens: keep your eyes on the truth. Don’t get confused by conflicting stories designed to confuse you. Keep your mind on the facts. Keep trying to rise above. Keep trying to move humanity out of the darkness and into the light. It’s a new year. We all have to go forward, one step at a time, remembering those we have lost and loved, determined to make life better for those left behind. It’s our job not to give up or in, no matter the foe, be it our own government, be it cancer, be it gun violence, be it a death of someone you love. Heartbreak abounds, so does courage. Let’s keep rising. It is our only choice.

Smith: We had also interviewed Boris Epshteyn… He corroborated that they were, in fact, trying to call senators. He dissembled and tried to imply that the president hadn’t directed him to do it, even though there was a text message saying specifically that they had. But he agreed that they tried to call these senators, that they had certain senators’ numbers themselves and didn’t need additional ones, and that would be—I believe—it was Senator Cruz, and possibly Senator Graham as well.

Interrupting the Survivor finale. What an idiot. But we already knew that.
