A Harvard study just published estimates Elon Musk's destruction of USAID has already caused 600,000 deaths 2/3 of them children. That is his legacy in this world.

elon musk spends two-thirds of his time spreading racist pseudoscience and hating trans people and here is Ezra Klein in 2026 saying Musk is relentlessly focused on the only things that matter to him: EVs and going to Mars. I'm sorry but the guy's just very very dim

I just finished reading Parable of the Sower and I’ve quit my job to become a full time Octavia Butler booster. One of the best books I’ve ever read, every teen should be reading it right now (yes even the deeply horrific parts)

Hi! I'm a farmer! This NYT article is sweet, saccharine bullshit. Farmers knew Trump was going to hurt our business. Because he already did a trade war in his 1st term. I even did a video on why so many farmers support Trump, WHILE knowing he'd hurt our farms.

No one is better at keeping hope alive than Rebecca Solnit, the historian and essayist whose *Hope in the Dark* got me through the first Trump administration and whose *A Paradise Built In Hell* inspired my novel *Walkaway*: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/301070... 1/

The United States is being gutted.

May Day Strong! I want to thank all those who participated in our Overpass Protest. We occupied the Wilshire overpass from 2-6 pm and an estimated 12,000 vehicles (50 per minute) saw our signs. Many honked and gave us “thumbs up”, but some used other fingers. Glad we could annoy those snowflakes.

We went from "armed gunman mere seconds away from shooting the president is killed by Secret Service" to "guy with a shotgun falls down on a different floor well outside the entrance of the ballroom and we can't find the bullets because that just happens sometimes" awfully fast.

The conservative justices on the Supreme Court arguing that you can separate race and partisanship got me thinking about these maps. starkeycomics.com/2021/06/11/h...

Great job Indivisible Central Wisconsin

Ok. Gonna brag. This is my top score on this game. www.maptap.gg May 3 84😁 95🏅 99🎯 100🎯 91👑 Final score: 950

Some of y'all live in a fantasy world, where Trump supporters are just hard-working downtrodden poor people with no political voice, just trying to make ends meet. I live in the real world, where Trump supporters are the wealthiest, whitest, most politically powerful and connected people on earth.

All of us

A few words on legacy media. Conference on World Affairs University of Colorado Boulder April 15th, 2026

So, friends: I promised I'd tell the story. Now I shall. Let a (former) psych nurse tell you the true (gods help us) story of a night in a big-time NYC emergency room: and the arrival of The Man With The Bloomingdales Bag. (1/n)

Ask Jeeves has officially shut down on May 1, 2026, ending its 25-year run

This is the way. Defeating Trump is phase one. Unwinding the past decade of corruption is phase two.

May we rage when we must & rest when we can. May we build the peace we so desperately need. May we turn our hands, in all things, to the justice peace requires. The only liberation is a shared liberation. May we have courage sufficient to build it. Shabbat shalom ❤️

There is no NYC without unions. A people united and organized cannot be defeated. Together, we're showing the world what solidarity means.

Today's the day! No work, no school, no shopping, no business as usual! Find an event and show up:

Given the argument that ended the VRA, I think it’s time liberals did some self reflection about the now decades long obsession with partisan polarization as the problem, as opposed to authoritarianism, extremism, oligarchy, and racism

In honor of May day. In 1966, farm workers in Wisconsin went on strike. They were working 14 hour days, no overtime, two 1/2 hour meal breaks.

This is also true in book sales where right wing foundations will buy thousands of copies and simply put them in a warehouse

New, from me: This should be a clarifying moment about the relationship the Supreme Court's opposition to representative democracy in America. Lets look at some graphs that make this point. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/power-demo...

What an evil piece of shit. I cannot wait to take over.

the basic reality is that this court has already destroyed the united states as a functional republic and none of the reforms necessary to rebuild it will survive the court as it currently exists any democrat not committed to expanding the court is not serious about fixing this country

This is correct. There is no future of democratic self government in the US with an unreformed Supreme Court. The Court is riddled with corruption and abuses of power and rooting out that corruption is a sine qua non of civic democracy in the United States.

it’s simple. Dems need to 1. prepare retaliatory gerrymanders in every blue state now that the VRA has been overturned 2. pack the court (and prosecute Thomas/alito) in 2029 I will only even *consider* primary candidates who support both of the above going forward

Supreme Court rules Black voters had no rights which the white man was bound to respect

yeah sorry but a wholesale Supreme Court overhaul has gotta be a nonnegotiable plank for any future Dem admin

We must understand the racist political rhetoric, the erasure and attacks on Black history, the reinstalling of Confederate names and monuments, all go hand-in-hand as the Court and Congress legitimize the taking of political rights and the end of multiracial democracy itself.

My quick read of Callais decision is that the majority says if a racial community votes consistently with a party, then it is okay to deny them representation because that's just partisan gerrymandering

I add Bruce Sterling too but yes, we are so far beyond realistic plot lines. No editor or publisher would have allowed this in a book 20 years ago.

Solnit is always worth listening too.

Go get ‘em. This is the energy we need and have. Now we just need our “leaders” to get in front of it.

Got a bird feeder / camera. Here’s a happy cardinal who’s become a regular.

I hate gatekeepers. They’re just the worst. explosm.net/comics/33579

No kings. Not even one. But definitely not two.

Funny how the media is just now "discovering" the trauma of a shooting where no one died, yet have been traumatizing elementary schoolers with active shooter drills for years.

We Democrats hate Trump like you MAGA dumbfucks hate Obama. We hate Trump because he's racist. You hate Obama because you're racist.

Every politically tuned in person I know is just kind of tired and cynical about what's going on, and every not-terminally online person I run into is somewhere in the ballpark of 25 to 75% Robespierre in their rhetoric.

This, from Daily Beast's Exec Editor, who was in the room right next door to alleged suspect, is genuinely interesting. www.thedailybeast.com/i-slept-next...

When radioactivity was discovered, there was a rush to market for all sorts of radioactive consumer goods. There were water jugs made out of uranium glass, for example. I think about that a lot these days whenever I see AI products being marketed to consumers.

A gunman shows up. Curiously, he reportedly told the cops he wanted to target Admin officials, not necessarily Trump. And for the first time, the press is placed in position that American school children are every day.
