the Norwegian campaign against enshittification is pretty great tbf vimeo.com/1168468796

Powell: "The thing a good number of people on the committee are concerned about is very very low level of job creation. If you adjust the trend job creation over the past 6 months for what we think is overstatement due to overcounting, effectively there is 0 net job creation in the private sector"

Gas prices across the US have shot up nearly $1/gallon since Trump started war with Iran. The last time prices increased this much in this time span was directly after Hurricane Katrina.

Trump does not think strategically, historically, geographically, or even rationally. He does not connect actions he takes on one day to events that occur weeks later. Allied leaders know that if they help him in the Gulf, he won't be grateful, or even remember www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

WSJ edit board trashes SAVE America Act: "Kamala Harris in 2024 won college graduates and voters earning over $100,000 a year. Mr. Trump carried those with no degrees and lower salaries. Which coalition is most likely not to have passports and birth certificates handy?" www.wsj.com/opinion/save...

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages. Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare... This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

We’re begging China now. That’s where we’re at. bsky.app/profile/atru...

🧵 by @ilangoldenberg.bsky.social:

Joe Kent has resigned over disagreements on the Iran war. Joe Kent is not suddenly a good guy. He’s a straight up white nationalist. But there are fissures in the MAGA base

Trump: "Bc of the fact we have had such Military Success, we no longer 'need,' or desire, the NATO Countries’ assistance — WE NEVER DID! Likewise, Japan, Australia, or South Korea. In fact, speaking as President of US, by far the Most Powerful Country Anywhere, WE DO NOT NEED THE HELP OF ANYONE!"

Joe Kent is neither the worst person you know making a good point nor a broken clock; he’s a notorious antisemite and white supremacist who is blaming Jews to get out of a real job that’s quite difficult right now as we increasingly explode the world and create the conditions for terrorism.

The retired three-star general said joining Trump’s war is like buying a discounted ticket for the Titanic after it had already hit the iceberg.

Our closing message.

Trump’s America is an America no one wants to come to, invest in, visit, work in, go to school in, seek refuge/asylum in, partner with, become a citizen of, do business with, vacation in, and even be an ally of. All the data since Trump was sworn in confirms this. MAGA, MAGA.👇

Joe Kent, director of the National Counterterrorism Center, has resigned. “I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.”

Genuinely, this whole debacle is showing every flaw in Trump’s approach in one go. Iran had a deal with the US. Trump broke it, then attacked them. So why would they trust him? Trump alienated all his allies, then attacked Iran, not realizing the effects on the straits. Now no one wants to help him.

I engage with hundreds of Trump MAGA voters every day. I have for years. I find generally two things move these MAGA voters away from Trump. 1) When they finalize realize they’ve been repeatedly lied to, and 2) When they personally feel the pain/hurtful impact of his policies.

It's uncomfortable for many to talk about, especially the mainstream media, but the deep, wide ingrained vein of racism in the United States is one of primary reasons for the rise of both Trump and his fascist enablers we're suffering with now.

Seniors on fixed incomes face impossible costs under the SAVE Act. Birth certificates from seventy years ago cost money to replace. Passports cost $165. They built this country. Republicans want to charge them for the right to participate in it. #SaveActIsPayToVote

Iran is trolling Trump again. Hard. This is what happens when global politics becomes reality TV.

If he's going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman's campaign, I'm going to come out and say it: during his short-lived tenure as a math professor, Biss had an inappropriate romantic relationship with one of his undergraduate students. I was that student.

If we want to motivate voters of all ages, we have to try something different. I propose kindness, authenticity, and unapologetic progressivism. People power over entrenched power. That’s the future.

Oh my God. What an absolute fiasco

These are the things that have historically led to revolutions. Not sustainable.

In addition, Trump repeatedly threatens to pull us out of NATO, Trump has always sided with Putin over Ukraine, Trump pounded our European allies with insane tariffs, so yes…why the fuck would Europe want to help him?

The dude is circling the drain. He’s now calling on people in media to be imprisoned for treason if they don’t report on the war to his liking.

Every time he gets a question he doesn’t want to answer it’s the same playbook: “Who are you with? Fake news, I’m not answering.” Who they are with is irrelevant - his PAC sent out a fundraiser using a photo of a coffin to raise money. I don’t care who the reporter is.

WATCH: “The answer has to be a more progressive tax system. Give people the necessities of life for free — childcare, healthcare… the rich keep getting richer…” Lloyd Blankfein, Senior Chair of Goldman Sachs, out here sounding like @aoc.bsky.social & Bernie 👀 🎯 (From @bluegeorgia.bsky.social )

It’s gonna be a pretty solid weekend if social media is flooded with clips of Laura Loomer getting her ass handed to her in-person by Indian journalists. Shout-out to Rajdeep Sardesai for kicking off the festivities.

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

This is a good lesson for journalists: Use plain language to state true things clearly.

Donald Trump is notorious for filing lawsuits at the drop of a hat. He's filed over 4,000 of them. Many for defamation. But Donald *will not* sue Ted Lieu for defamation. Why? He's been told by lawyers that in defamation actions, truth is an absolute defense.

I read the “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Most of the media apparently *hasn’t* read it because, if they had, they would be sounding the alarm about the provision in Point 1, below, which almost none of them have even mentioned. I hope this summary helps raise awareness. 1/

NEW: Boasberg blocks subpoenas in Powell’s case. "A mountain of evidence suggests that the Government served these subpoenas on the Board to pressure its Chair into voting for lower interest rates or resigning.” www.nbcnews.com/business/eco...

YES OR NO: Do you support Hakeem Jeffries continued leadership?

The implication here is that a year of secret police crackdowns fueled by racial profiling have left thousands of sleeper agents unmolested, great stuff. *FOX NEWS RADIO AIRS TRUMP INTERVIEW RECORDED ON THURSDAY *TRUMP ON IRANIAN SLEEPER CELLS: THERE COULD BE MORE THAN 1,700

Mail-in ballots, no electronic voting, keeping the conduct of elections out of the hands of political parties, and near automatic voter registration make elections in Canada among of freest, fairest and most transparent in the world.

"Iran has some Tomahawks" is a shit lie, even by Trump's standards.

Trump openly lies about the bombed girls school. As Americans we make mistakes in war but they are unintentional and we own them. Trump blaming Iran is no different than what Putin does when he blames Ukraine for attacks Russia clearly does. We’ve become accepting of pure lies

This sure doesn’t look like “America first” to me.

The data economy has made us dumber in ways that also make us vulnerable to authoritarian takover. We are have become both cynical and gullible in the sense we think we are too jaded be fooled and as a result are tricked more easily www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

The Republican Party:

He lies when it rains, He lies about Spain. He lies at night, He lies mid flight. He lies every afternoon, He lies when he drops his spoon. He lies sitting in a chair, He lies while coloring his hair. He lies about an economy on the skids, He even lies about dead school kids.👇

Her trip to Ireland was ruined by this one question?? Gee, I wonder why…

The burden of Trump's actions is carried by every single US citizen, no matter the party, just as the burden of Hitler's actions were carried by Germany. You are in no position to make demands of or lecture any of us.

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.
