Happy pride month! We need to show our strength and joy now more than ever. Love is love; don’t let the cowards cower you!

You can think of this as a "reverse" or "turn" strategy. Reversing attention from the distraction & recentering attention on what is essential. Calling out the politics of creating hate-objects & turning attention back to those who profit from the strategy. It's a contrast. Well played. (from March)

Economists call this diminishing marginal utility. The first dollars change your life. The billionth doesn't. So the argument stops being about consumption and starts being about power.

Can't unsee this!

Here's the truth about California's proposed wealth tax that billionaires don't want you to know.

This is how it's done.

This makes sense since AI is being used to replace labor. So companies should pay into Medicare and Social Security based on the number of tokens they use. I bet they will quickly realize it makes more sense to employ actual humans vs destroying our planet with data centers

A PhD student at Stanford noticed her classmates were asking Al to write their breakup texts. So she ran a study. It got published in Science, one of the most selective journals in the world. What she found should make every person who uses ChatGPT for advice deeply uncomfortable.

Every state should take a page out of Hawaii’s playbook on tackling Citizens United

NYT Board on Trump’s Slush Fund: “There has never been an example of Presidential corruption like this… destroying pillars of 🇺🇸 democracy to empower himself… encourages future lawlessness on his behalf… taking your money & showering it on criminals.” www.nytimes.com/2026/05/20/o...

And requiring 5 times the power and water supplied to surrounding counties.

I never knew why Trump was saying 6 genders, but of course! He’s a #MAGAtard with the vocabulary of a MAGA-T

I’m trying to imagine any Republican governor in America doing the equivalent of what Jared Polis just did. This is why Democrats lose.

Perfect campaign ad for the upcoming Midterms. 👌

Trump is a fascist He’d rather release fake UFO evidence than real unredacted Epstein Files He’d rather spend billions to eliminate Iran over fake nukes than spend a penny to eliminate poverty at home He’d rather prosecute Comey for an IG post but pardon 1600 violent convicted insurrectionists

Oh my. This is spectacular. sinceyouarrived.world/taken

Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy.

Zack Polanski, the UK's Green Party leader, is getting attacked for saying no country has a right to exist when asked about Israel. Watch @mehdirhasan.bsky.social debunking the ‘bullsh*t’ argument that Israel has a "right to exist." www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEoI...

This is the bizarro world the Supreme Court has created with its latest voting rights decision. Thank you Jon Stewart and & @thedailyshow.com You can watch my entire conversation with Jon here: youtu.be/SCse1FFEKLM

Hey! Thought you'd like Battlestar Galactica: The Miniseries on Paramount . Check it out… Anyone working on AI should watch or re-watch this. Without guardrails, we are seeding our own destruction

Can someone let the AP know that violating court orders is not a sign of "executive power. " It is a sign of contempt, lawlessness and authoritarianism.

The Senate passed the Voting Rights Act renewal in 2006 by a vote of 98-0. The Supreme Court majority gutted it on the grounds that the Justices personally dislike the impact.

Americans top priorities per polls: 1. Exploding Inflation from gas prices to healtchare to electrical bills 2. Jobs and wages. Trump's top priorities: 1. Building His ballroom 2. Getting Jimmy Kimmel fired 3. Using White House to make more $ for himself, his family and his oligarchs.

A good + important piece. (TL;DR this 60 Minutes interview with Trump was *obviously* edited in much cruder sane-washing fashion than its K Harris intrvw. Trump sued them for $20 billion, Austin Powers-style, and got $16 million, payoff-style. Time for a DNC counter-suit.) But read the whole post!

Worth the read

Yall need to stop making everything about race, ok? 🙄

I realize this is obvious to most but allow me to rant: At the core of Trump's base love for him is a simmering resentment over their mediocrity and gratitude for him making it permissible to be arrogant whilst mediocre. Everything in this cult can be traced back to that. (thread)

As much as I love/ hate my Amazon Prime, this might really be the final straw, if true

SCOTUS defenders insist the court is nonpartisan. But on Wednesday, the GOP appointees literally ruled that helping your political party trumps the rights of Black and brown citizens. It’s hard to imagine a more precise representation of this court’s agenda. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Don’t be distracted by suspicious “assassination” claims. Stay focused on: + illegal Iran war + #EpsteinFiles + affordability crisis / inflation + ICE + Trump as #PutinsBitch

TODAY: After nearly a decade of the MAGA propaganda machine flooding the zone with shit, it's not weird that no one believes a single word, deed, or event that comes out of this administration. You're not alone. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WA9N...

Don’t be distracted by suspicious “assassination” claims. Stay focused on: + illegal Iran war + #EpsteinFiles + economy/ inflation + ICE

yeah my thought when i hear that is "tell this to the president and his goons"

Trump says the 2020 election was rigged and he won; many people are saying the 2 “assassination attempts” are false flags to distract from disastrous Iran war, flailing economy, free fall polls, #EpsteinFiles, etc. If only there was proof!

These are real photos at the press conference in White House after the alleged assassination attempt. Does this look like people who just survived that type of trauma?!

If you ever needed proof that these MAGA-Ts are just religious con artists, I present this little vignette

Even for Trump this is sickeningly racist Notice the fake Candace cover says “uses rich white men” (As Loomer takes credit)

Legit question. Now that we all see how self defeating and dumb gerrymandering is, how about we pass a nationwide ban on it to take effect in the 2030 census?

This is your periodic reminder that Democrats introduced legislation in 2021 to ban gerrymandering nationwide and every republican voted against it except two who were absent.

The acting head of the CDC has canceled the publication of a study that found that the Covid vaccine sharply cut the odds of hospitalizations and emergency visits last winter, a Health Department spokesman said.
