👀 A medical provider’s take: Trump’s 9/11 memorial appearance all but confirms it—ongoing strokes, TIAs, CVAs. Right-sided deficits, visible decline. We’re watching it happen in real time. ☠️

No one is safe from gun violence in America. We do not have to keep living like this. Instead of inciting more violence, our political leaders should use this moment to unite us around common sense gun reforms that a majority of Americans support.

I know Charlie Kirk valued debate and free speech because he blocked me for fact-checking his lies on Twitter and then put me on his organization's Professor Watchlist for writing a book he didn't like.

After heavy corporate lobbying, RFK Jr.'s new MAHA report takes a hands-off approach to Big Ag and "forever chemicals" — despite their connection to rising cancer rates and drinking water contamination. Tell me how this is supposed to make America healthy again?

You can’t solve a problem without first defining it. SCOTUS is driving us into fascism. This court was put in place to DO WHAT ITS DOING, as a result of 40 years of work by Christian nationalists and fascists. The court is the problem for our democracy, and we must fix it.

Run. For. Everything.

So... Now we appeal the student loans decisions and erase all loans. Right? That's what's gonna happen?

Okay. I just came back to this and you aren’t calling these efforts resegregation yet, you absolutely should be

Folks look at you like you're crazy when you say we're in the midst of the worst, most unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis in American history, & well, 👇

I am honestly quite worried about Chicago, and begging the national press to report it as what it is: an invasion of a US city by the national guard of another state at the behest of a fascist president for purposes of terrorizing the people into submission. There is no legitimate debate about it.

That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.

BREAKING: The Pentagon has authorized up to 600 military lawyers to serve as temporary immigration judges. This is a blatant expansion of military power into a civilian judicial process, a dangerous erosion of the separation between the two. Every day, we inch closer to fascism.

If we have to become an authoritarian state, can we at least get eco-cities, bullet trains, and renewable energy?

Trust for labor unions is 20 points higher than trust for either the Democratic or Republican party.

Writing teacher advice for Democratic strategists: Your audience is NEVER everyone, and acting as though it is will lead to generalities that appeal on average but not in specific. You find your audience through specificities. Relying heavily on polls and consultants leads to tepid messaging.

Guys nothing happened. However, CEOs are still trying to convince you that quiet quitting is worse than wage theft, while planning on replacing you with a robot and charge you for the robot’s rent Unions know better. Happy Labor Day Weekend.

For 12 months, America had a limited proof of concept for universal healthcare, and it was so uniformly successful we had no choice but to obliterate our society

Don’t look away

Trump just halted a nearly completed wind project that was set to power 350K homes at a stable rate for 20 years. Over 1,000 jobs—gone. Electric bills—up. All to protect Big Oil. This isn’t "national security." It’s political sabotage. They'd rather destroy our future than build a better one.

AI couldn't have generated this image if it tried with the inputs: American fascism picture

area man beats sandwich crime charge, will not be sub-poenaed

I don’t need a self driving car. I need a vehicle that runs between major areas and can transport large numbers of people at once to reduce environmental impact…wait it’s a train. I’m describing trains. Build more goddamned TRAINS, America.

In non-world is burning news: Head of State was the best bad movie I've seen since Pain and Gain. Just thoroughly enjoyable good time with nothing serious to it. Idris Elba and John Cena should be making buddy movies for ages. Go watch it, youll thank me.

"Can he fire a Federal Reserve governor?!" No, but that's not going to stop him Are you paying attention yet?

What I'm looking for in the 2028 primary is someone who will put Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem in jail, and so far, that's Pritzker

For folks not in DC: - There are full-on police checkpoints most nights - Gangs of 30+ federal agents roam DC - National Guard folks w/ guns patrolling a Harris Teeter - Every day, multiple friends see ICE kidnapping ppl - Daycares are scared to have kids go on walks due to ICE

Medicaid does the following: -Provides 1 in 2 kids health insurance -Keeps the majority of rehab and skilled nursing facilities open nationwide -Until today, had a rule in place to ensure minimum nurse staffing for patient safety This is the program the party of “MAHA” wants to gut.

The Trump admin has frozen over $6 BILLION in funding for after-school and summer programs. So the President's priority is to keep low-income kids from getting after-school care and going to summer camp. Who the hell is this supposed to benefit????

A big reason Dems don't control the House right now—and this murderous spending bill is possible—is Andrew Cuomo, who fucked New York's congressional redistricting as governor and helped lose us seats in Congress. www.vanityfair.com/news/2022/06...

Anyone else feel like today is the political equivalent of the moment in the asteroid movie where the heroes tried everything, it didnt work, and now we're just waiting for it to hit? The last hope is that the Steve Buscemi character pulls off some hairbrained hail marry to save us all.

This Supreme Court is not a judicial court, but a royal court. They exist not to apply the laws of this nation fairly for all its citizens but rather to prop up the king and attend to his needs and his needs alone.

A Muslim son of immigrants might become mayor of NYC in part because he cross endorsed and supported a Jewish candidate and Black candidate, and vice versa. It's a beautiful American story for the rest of us. A nightmare for all the right people ;) It's so New York.

Feels like ranked choice was absolutely decisive in this race—not because of the vote count, but because of how it changed the incentives from zero-sum to cooperapetitive. It allowed a fractured left field to align organically through co-endorsements instead of falling into a circular firing squad.

so are we going to get a parade of news stories about Mamdami being a Presidential contender or is that only for NYC mayors who are incompetent and corrupt shitbags

Meta will pocket $15 billion from one new tax break in Trump's budget. That is more money than the federal government spends annually on childcare. Trump's budget is filled with tax breaks for wealthy corporations while screwing over American families. It's disgusting.

The most powerful figure in Congress is insisting that a measure passed by Congress in an effort to reassert Congress's rightful role in the constitutional order is actually unconstitutional and his Congress should have *less* authority and influence. The saddest set of eunuchs in world history.

"Our role as organizers is to help workers identify and break through the barriers our system has set up. When we get workers to 'buy in' to a plan, it sets us up as yet another way to take away their agency," UAW organizer Brian O. Shepherd writes: labornotes.org/2025/06/art-...

I’m not making predictions about the NYC mayoral. Who knows! But: The fact that it’s this close should be a sign to anyone considering a challenge to the status quo — this is your time to do it. Voters are hungry for change. If we can, @runforsomething.net will help you. runforwhat.net

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

20-year-old U.S. citizen Adrian Andrew Martinez was swarmed by ICE in Pico Rivera while defending someone. He never hit back—just struggled—before being slammed into a CBP van. No records. No lawyer. His mom can’t find him. This is abuse of power. Keep recording. Don’t stop.

When you jump social mediums, you've made it. Well done @timfullerton.bsky.social www.reddit.com/r/MurderedBy...

Didn't stop @mayorbowser.bsky.social from running three times and only getting a minority of votes in two of them.

Wait wait wait. Joey Chestnut isn't his nickname‽‽

Two things are happening. The extreme right is doubling down on terrifying violence. And a democratic coalition for life and decency is mobilizing at a massive scale. Whatever else happens in the US this weekend, the No Kings rallies show where the most powerful political energy is surging.

A grand total of 160 people have been arrested for protesting in LA in almost an entire week! That requires 4,700 armed troops? Only when you're Chicken Little trying to manufacture a crisis.

If that’s what they do to a US Senator with a question, imagine what they do to farm workers, day laborers, cooks, and the other nonviolent immigrants they are targeting in California and across the country. Or any American that dares to speak up. I will not stop fighting to demand accountability.

While performing official oversight duties, a Democratic senator was violently tackled and handcuffed by federal agents because he dared to ask a question. This isn’t law enforcement. This is occupation. 🧵
