The filibuster is so fundamentally anti-democratic that forcing the authoritarian party to kill it so that they could keep taking health care and food away from Americans was probably the cleanest out from the damn thing, yet this Cones of Duneshire-ass opposition party loves rules more than wins.

Even if the Senate voted to extend ACA subsidies, the GOP-controlled House is unlikely to allow a vote on them. And there's of course no guarantee that Trump would even go along with a deal. The cruel irony is that this will end up hurting Republican states the most.

We believe healthcare is a right for every American. But starting today, millions of people will be notified that they are being priced out of their insurance thanks to Republican policies. Enough is enough. The GOP may shut down the government, but we will stand tall for YOU.

It is a fact that people are being kidnapped and sent to disappear in detainment centers never to be heard from again in 2025's America

For the longest time, I have blamed myself for many of the failures I had in my junior years of high school and college But the truth was, while some people were standing on the shoulders of giants, I was standing on a pile of rubble and ruins

It is my personal opinion that the blue state governors and lawmakers need to take a look at their states local law enforcement and think of strategies to push out sheriffs and head of agencies that are Trump sympathizers

The law, Posse Comitatus, only states that the federal government cannot use the military for domestic law enforcement. Military can absolutely be used when it is putting down a rebellion or an insurrection It also does not forbid the government from creating a paramilitary force

The battle for the midterm by stopping Republican gerrymandering is an important fight But let's not kid ourselves, Trump and the current Republican party is not going to peaceful transition power over to Democrats if they win over the elections They have no intentions on relinquishing power

Universal Basic Income results thread 🧵👇

I have heard people tell me so many times that mixing wildly different ideas or paths or things won't work And they're right, because I listened to them... But I have a feeling that is going to come an end, because I realized I do know what I'm talking about

I am so goddamn tired of this take that AI will have no economic harms at all and just bring nothing but positives. It is so incredibly dangerous to just keep on keeping on. You know what an entrepreneur's dream come true is? Having customers with money to spend, and failure not leading to poverty.

A bill banning basic income programs has passed the Texas Senate and now needs to also be passed by the House. If passed, it would join Idaho, Iowa, Arkansas, and South Dakota in such a ban. Billionaires are funding these efforts. They are afraid of UBI. www.scottsantens.com/billionaire-...

And the stuff that the billionaires are pulling at the state level, state by state, is pouring gasoline all over dry tinder. They want to stop universal basic income from happening and they don't seem to realize, that's the thing they should be spending money on to make happen to avoid pitchforks.

The alt-right MAGA infection didn’t begin with Trump. It started quietly—in fringe counties across rural southern regions, dismissed by the Republican establishment. But slowly, far-right ideologues gained footholds in local governments

Universal benefits like UBI are fast, dignified & fraud-resistant. Everyone gets the same amount. No gatekeepers. No prove you’re poor forms. Then, at tax time, those making more pay more through progressive taxes. No extra forms. No wasted overhead. Just equity without cruelty.

Plenty of politicians on both sides of the aisle feel threatened by rising class consciousness.

Politics is more clear when you remember that the "waste" in "government waste" is the profit that some rich asshole isn't making off labor in the public sector whose only purpose is the common good.

From US Congressmembers to Judges to Universities to Federal Whistleblowers I'm heartened to see many people are putting up a fight against the fascism that's trying to completely take over The road ahead isn't going to be easy, but it's a good start

Thank you so much, Senator Van Hollen, the history books will remember your action as a shining beacon of light in these dark chapters of the United States I pray for the safe return of Mr. Garcia, and I pray that this injustice will be undone. God bless America

Thank you, Senator Van Hollen.

If Trump can disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him? Either everyone has due process — or no one does.

The age of the United States has passed, already you are seeing institutions like Harvard, states like California challenging and ignoring what is an increasingly illegitimate federal government as Trump breaks law after law In the next few months to years, expect

So are they just gonna continue shipping completely innocent people to a slave labor gulag in El Salvador, and then when the Supreme Court says bring them back they just keep goose stepping and sieg heling??

I prayed tonight for Abrego Garcia's safety and safe return to the United States I emailed my senator to support whatever effort they can to bring him back

At this point as a matter of law, principle and morality Trump has to be impeached. Flagrantly violating a Supreme Court order to facilitate the return of an innocent man sent to a slave labor gulag with no due process is so immensely evil it's earth shattering.

We are need to prepare for the reality of a fractured America heading towards HRE-fication If Congress remains deadlocked, Supreme Court ruling can be ignored, federal authority is weakened as Blue and Red states develop rival and parallel governmental structures

With the 125% tariff causing mass unemployment and DOGE gutting welfare programs, what do you think will happen when people lose their houses and can't feed themselves? This is a dangerous game Trump is playing, and he needs to reverse tariffs now

Here's the reality: they've backed themselves into a corner. If they bring him home there will be hell to pay. It's clear that they believe that the lesser hell is not bringing him home. So we need to make that hell the worse hell. Start calling and screaming at all of your representatives now! 1/2

If anything, and I mean anything, happens to Kilmar Abrego Garcia, such that the Trump administration cannot return him back to the U.S. Not only would this be the first major case of a Constitutional crisis, but it would also be a huge political crisis

Narrator: Trump would go on to cause a 1929-style crash in 2025.

It's bad. It's really bad.

i am like 80% serious when i say that woke is the only thing that kept this country together

I wasn't expecting the decline of American hegemony to be such a fast process US dollar, US stock, US alliances, US soft power, all imploding, and now brain drain of US intellectuals

Resistance across this country is growing From federal civil servants, to human rights group, to even former MAGA folks waking up to the tyrannical reality of the Trump Regime Hope may seem dim, but it is here, now

Democrats should look at this chart and go, "Shit, Bernie was right" and then run hard on universal basic income, universal healthcare, taxing the rich, campaign finance reform, ranked choice voting, and abolishing gerrymandering. But instead it'll be "Dangnabbit, we need to move more to the right."

NO KINGS LIVE HERE.

I am here at the State of the Union. This is not a normal time or address, as the President is staging a corrupt billionaire takeover of our country, Medicaid, Social Security, and the programs Americans have earned. I will not be treating this like a normal speech.

I roughly predict this is where geopolitics is heading in the next half of the 21st century if current trends are to continue

Welp I'm fighting with both English speaking and Mandarin speaking idiots on the Internet about DEI

Well America had a good run...

So can we finally dispel with the myth that Republicans are good for the economy? All they do is crash the economy, cut help for Americans, deregulate to make consumers less safe, increase our national debt & give tax cuts to the rich.

Genocide. War crimes. Starvation. Gaza. The West Bank. The Israeli government. Netanyahu's role. Former GOP Congressman Joe Walsh and I got into a rather heated debate on all of the above on 'Mehdi Unfiltered.' Watch the full interview and subscribe to Zeteo here:

Trump is a genocidal bloodthirsty imperialist thug who has already warmongered with: - Gaza - Mexico - Iran - Greenland - Denmark - Panama - Venezuela - Somalia

The deputy speaker of Israel’s parliament and a leading member of Netanyahu’s party calling for the bombing of food stocks in Gaza just a few hours ago. You won’t see this mentioned by any European or American leaders, or by most western media.
