Billy Long's sole qualification to run the IRS is that, in 2023–24, he ran a large-scale tax fraud operation. I am not making this up.

Kinda wild that so many Very Serious People take the need to build data centers for AI as a given when the main use case for AI so far seems to be degrading people’s ability to read, write, think critically and connect to other human beings

It's almost that time of year when straight cis men wear what lesbians and trans masc men wore last summer

So much of the admins motives are just more laborers, less rights, more profits, total business domination. People have to wake up, the machine of fascism is in full swing

The road to fascism is littered with the powerful's opposition. If immigrants undocumented and otherwise are booted out, human rights orgs fall, then climate orgs, there is no telling who's next. Confront it now

Fascism wins out because it's actually very easy to be bad and do evil. It's hard work to live good values and create a society built on community, care, and mutual aid.

The first trump admin forced the legislative, judicial, and municipal to show its cards. I fear trump ii has fully figured out its entire barrage against everything that had been built given this latest stop against religious building being able to harbor migrants

What the actual f***

Jill Stein is going on the same list that includes Candace Owens, Shaun King, and Aaron Rodgers. The 'never repost even when the broken clock it' list

Dismantle the military industrial complex = pretty people centric hubs

I thought we'd have flying cars fueled off mushroom juice before the apocalypse but the best we will get is overdraft fees on our payment plan food delivery that relies on underpaid gig workers

What happens when the U.N. climate talks are hosted by a petrostate? We join @benrst.bsky.social to reflect on #COP28, and how journalists and activists around the world are exposing #BigPolluters' stranglehold on climate policy in @tbij.bsky.social's latest newsletter.

people can smell a phony from a mile away!

Latest episode out, we recorded at the beginning of the month and thought about this topic a couple of years ago. I enjoyed having my high school friend and immigrant and worker advocate Marven Hyppolite open.spotify.com/episode/6Zry...

Now that Schumer and Dems have abjectly decided to cave, when they scream about the cuts that Musk and Trump continue to undertake in violation of *their own CR,* it will only sound all the more hollow. Great job all around, guys.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

A Jewish sitting elected leader was called 'Palestinian' for his viewpoints. We are in an awful era. Best case scenario we're in the red scare anti-communism America, worst case we're in full fledged Nazi third Reich. Palestinian liberation is the line, if we lose on that front it's floodgates open

When things were built to last, they also were beautifully absorbed because the makers knew it'd be seen for a lifetime. Bring us back to the right to repair era and lightbulbs that last centuries

For years people were worried about video games, but I think Fox News is worse for the world than Grand theft auto

I've been wondering what medicine JD took to all of a sudden be able to even "stomach" being a lapdog this bad ??

my superpower for predicting things? paying attention to what people with power say and do

🧵 THREAD: On Friday, Veolia, the world's largest private water corporation, announced a $53 million settlement with #Flint residents and the state of Michigan. But this settlement is nowhere near enough to account for the impact of Veolia’s abuses on the people of Flint.

Many of the cruelest policies criminalizing poverty and mutual aid are coming from deep blue cities and states. Must read by @rickpaulas.bsky.social for @lukeoneil47.bsky.social www.welcometohellworld.com/hurt-the-hel...

If you think the headline is good, you should read the copy.

For years republicans talked about what they've wanted to. They set the narrative parameters for every debate. Dems chose to talk about what they're against and show up in the opposition's arena time and time again. Rebuffing progressive political power meant neglecting a future facing narrative

I will counteract the scourge of government bureaucracy with...government bureaucracy www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/elo...

If it takes a full fledged fascist coup to come out with think pieces about your former "friend" you're either just as much of an asshole or you're trying to grift for attention. Too little too late

Nazis love drug induced depravity. Blitzkrieg fueled by meth, Elon fueled by ket

Math is hard

I thought Lex Luthor, Dr. Doom, Mr. Burns were ego-maniacal caricatures but it seems they might be the best case scenario for rich POS'

When you erase history and actively ignore attempts at Truth, Reconciliation, and Repair you are bound to repeat it...but maybe that's this admins point?

"In this way, the International Chamber of Commerce seems to advocate for the least stringent regulatory environments to protect the utmost corporate impunity." From #BigPolluters to #BigAg, read more about how the ICC is tied to some of the world's most abusive corporations: bit.ly/ICCExposed

We are in the time of tech titans and I can only think about how the Norse mythology catalogues the rise and demise of their titans.

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

Musk's DOGE priorities is a hit list of every agency with oversight on his dangerous businesses. Call it coincidence, call it a couple, but call it what it is undemocratic tyranny

The circular logic of climate apartheid: Alphabet can't make its (already bullshit) climate commitments because they have to generate huge emissions for training models that will be used to kill climate refugees.

Been nice knowing y'all

Luka to the Lakers, Jokic to the Knicks, Giannis to Chicago

What's the potential for a three country @fifaworldcup26.bsky.social under a chaotic + isolationist American immigration system? What's it look like to have 2 Canadian and 3 Mexican sites for world cup with a US president making enemies of his allies?

What helped pave the path for full blown fascist oligopoly? Centrist neoliberal Dems 🤝 increasingly conservative Republicans agreeing to stifle leftist populist movements

I know it's not the time or the place but leave it to the people that hate the pageantry of any other group to also be fans of WWE where grown men dress up in spandex, wear makeup, and advocate for anti-woke fascism while receiving no union bennies

oh what could the salute has possibly been

Just week two and my fiancée and I are commiserating about when the stasi surveillance begins

Our hearts are with those impacted by the Los Angeles Wildfires. It’s clear that we need to make #BigPolluters pay—including holding those who back corporate power accountable for these harms. 🔗 A full list of mutual aid resources and support funds can be found at the link in our bio.
