A confusing system is not an accident. When deadlines are short, notices are dense and rules change midstream, the people who lose are the teachers, nurses and public servants already working the longest hours. The AFT has your back: AFT.org/PSLF

"Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob." —FDR, 1936

France has joined Germany in cancelling their Palantir contracts, becoming the 2nd country in as many weeks to do so — the UK appears poised to follow suit AOC: “Immediately investigate Palantir — (Thiel’s) secretive data mining company that has weaponized information against immigrant communities”

ICE Protestors Seek Criminal Contempt for Trump's DOJ Officials! youtu.be/4CATpeIp4hI?...

Well APPARENTLY they only do cars and also I'm banned for life

They removed CD/DVD drives from PCs. -Made physical media harder to buy and use. -Removed expandable storage from phones. -Pushed us into streaming subscriptions. -Made always-online normal. -Made unlimited internet necessary. -Slowly raised the price of everything. Ownership quietly became renting.

Observation from life, having been around longer than this guy (and married to same wonderful woman since age 21): I have yet to meet a man who goes out of his way to bait others as "barely straight," who doesn't have issues of this sort himself Have never met a "real man" who bothers with this BS

I just found out VW have engine power in their EV’s locked behind a subscription and I feel like I’m going crazy. The power is already there in an engine you paid for, just have it available??? 🙃 We need to do something to reign in this kind of business model because it’s getting beyond a joke.

This makes a hell of a lot of sense.

SORRY ELON

I’m really warming up to this Talarico

Reporting on Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire should be done with the same general tone as a lethal virus escaping containment, not as an awesome achievement.

Elon Musk spent millions to elect Trump. His company Starlink, which dominates rural broadband services, lobbied to cut funding for rural broadband alternatives. Now, Starlink is jacking up prices on its captive customers. Government for the billionaires, by the billionaires.

Talarico: Here's what real men don't do. They don't lie and cheat their way through life. They don't sell their soul to the highest bidder. Real men serve others, weak men serve themselves. So I welcome this debate. I don't think Paxton or Cruz are in a position to tell anyone what a real man is.

NO 👇 LIES DETECTED.......

No words. #BookSky

Love them as much as possible

In January, Zohran Mamdani took action against bankrupt landlord Pinnacle, which was responsible for over 5,000 housing violations. Thanks to his intervention, Pinnacle's new owners have forgiven millions in tenants' back rent. This is what governing for the people looks like.

This one hits hard.

Historic 9th day of protests in #Albania growing every day. They call it the #Flamingo #Revolution protesting #Trump son-in-law and animated dept store manikin Jared #Kushner trying to buy a protected #island for #billionaire playground.

AI data centers are doubling electricity demand. Private equity executives see a cash grab. They're buying up utility companies to cash in on the energy surge and pass costs to consumers while making services worse. I’m fighting back.

I love that Sherrod Brown is currently way outperforming Ohio Senator Husted in the polls. Ohioans SHOULD vote Senator Brown back in! The Senator is a huge supporter & protector of Social Security. This would correct a major injustice from 2024.🤞

U.S reporter venturing out of the Acela corridor: where can I find a local fixer to translate for me?

Moe’s take… #resist #mepolitics #MESen #VoteBlue

You asked, he delivered 🤷🏻‍♀️

It's time to tax AI data centers.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine has pivoted and paused the state's data center tax break. In 2025 Ohio estimated it would lose $136 million from the tax break. Instead they lost $1.6 billion.

My Dad is an avid WW2 fan. He has encyclopedias, books, and movies ranging from VHS to Blu-ray. I *think* I saw the Nazi skull in a movie, once. And even then, it was a small decoration to an otherwise standard Nazi uniform. Assuming regular people knew what it was before Platner ran is hilarious.

The disastrous Citizens United decision resulted in a corrupt campaign finance system ruled by whoever can write the biggest checks. That's not how democracy is supposed to work, which is why Congress needs to pass the Abolish Super PACs Act.

1. Number of stories about Trump buying and selling hundreds of millions of dollars in stocks in the first three months of 2026: CBS: 0 CNN: 0 Fox News: 0 NPR: 0 PBS: 0 Politico: 0 Semafor: 0 Business Insider: 0

An ICE agent shot a man and claimed he was attacked with a snow shovel. The regime plastered the victim's mugshot everywhere. But the video proved the agent lied. Now, the ICE agent has been indicted. Accountability looks like this:

Far-right security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir stormed Al-Aqsa compound, while tens of thousands of Israelis paraded through the Muslim Quarter of the Old City on Jerusalem Day, which saw attacks on Palestinian shops and “Death to Arabs” chants.

There is absolutely no reason for prediction markets to exist. None.

“But the surveillance” is a completely invalid, stupid objection to buying Chinese cars, when this is what domestic cars are like. Corporate greed killed off one of the key competitive advantages we had around privacy. All that’s left now is an arbitrary tariff structure 🤷

Also fuck Mike Johnson for saying politicians can't survive off $175k salaries but they expect citizens to live off $40k or $7.25 an hour. Fuck all the way off

No more billionaires. ZERO. Once you hit $999 million, every cent more goes to schools and healthcare. The End.

More than 3,700 trades. Trump’s more focused on his stock portfolio than lowering costs for you.

Mike Johnson thinks $174,000 isn’t enough to survive without insider trading. But $15/hour is too much to ask for everyone else. Every single day, these goons prove how disconnected they are from everyday Americans.

Large Jewish Bloc for Palestine: Criticism of Israel is not antisemitic

I hope Sherrod Brown wins. He's one of the good guys. www.cnn.com/2026/05/17/p...

Forgive me for sounding like a broken record, but we are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian. Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.
