"True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.” —FDR, 1944

Still waiting for it to trickle down...

Chicago priest Father Michael Pfleger: "The state of emergency is in AMERICA, not Chicago. It's birthed from this president and his admin's reign of terror." ( ht: @mikenellis.bsky.social )

Shonda Rhimes has been a pioneer in addressing social issues through her writing. This scene, the way she address not just Alz, but sexism, gaslighting, & women left out of the conversation about their bodies is masterful & Ellen Pompeo delivers it flawlessly as Meredith Grey on Grey’s Anatomy

The White House hates getting questioned about Jared Kushner’s business.

Presidents? SCOTUS gives them immunity. Corporations? SCOTUS makes it easier for them to pollute. Billionaires? SCOTUS says they can buy elections. But if you look Latino, speak Spanish, or work at a low wage job, SCOTUS says you can be abducted by masked agents. The legacy of the Roberts court.

Easily, his most elaborate and destructive distraction from #TheEPSEIN_Files... yet.

Jimmy Kimmel's Monologue now has 14.3 MILLION VIEWS on YouTube. It would be a shame for you to share it www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1tj...

Congratulations to @jimmykimmel.com on his triumphant return! Last night he was pitch-perfect. Inspirational, self-reflective, gracious to his haters, championing the 1st Amendment & most importantly: FUNNY. (Shout-out to Robert DeNiro as the mob-boss head of the FCC)😆

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Yep….this makes sense which is more than he does. Did you see that shit yesterday about clean air? Wtf USA, what the feck were you thinking when you went out to vote? 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ www.instagram.com/reel/DO_QulF...

Kimmel may have struck gold for that $billion lawsuit with this TACO TS post. Fallon & Meyers, put your lawyers on speed dial

They want to leave the ECHR because it will allow them to abolish the State Pension, the Minimum Wage, paid holiday and sick leave. It would make them tens of billions a year. But of course they say immigration, because they can't tell you the real reason.

In a moment like this, when tensions are high, part of the job of the president is to remind us of the ties that bind us together.

I'm in the 6. I worked in the US. I travelled to most of the 50 states. I had many American friends I spent the winter with. But I have no plans to go back. globalnews.ca/news/1143516...

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

If you're young Or old Or a woman If you've got a disability Or, you've a SEND If you're LGBTQ+ Or you're from an ethnic minority If you need care Or you're in the forces And if you're in Northern Ireland Then Farage's plan to abolish human rights law is going to screw you

One of Nigel Farage 's mates just accidentally admitted that Reform UK is far-right!! 🤣😍😍🤣

Frey: And don't just say, this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school. They were in a church.

And here I was thinking the way to solve hunger was food.

There’s renewable energy ads and there’s mother**cking wind farm ads. This, blissfully, is the latter.

French President Macron and his wife filed a defamation lawsuit against Candace Owens. The lawsuit lays out at least 22 separate incidents of defamation including Owen’s claim Mrs Macron is a man & the Macrons are blood relatives. The 1st Amend. can’t save her. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory apple.news

As TN State Rep Justin Jones reminds us, our elders and ancestors in the fight for equality were fighting for us. Now, it is our job to fight for the next generation and the generations to come after that. Join the fight in your community.

I came across this in my photos from a few years ago. It still resonates with me.

When Wales comes to vote for their Senedd representatives new May - I hope the voters bear in mind how Reform UK are spending council money in England on establishing their rule.... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Reporters should be asking Pam Bondi about this daily. Make her squirm.

Reposting this and a few other things for no particular reason today. Maybe I’ll do it tomorrow and the next day, too.

Maybe its just the time for Muskrat to explain how the fake president won the elections.

He is so effing dumb it hurts. He hasn't a clue.

Sean Combs has been found to have committed sexual offenses against women. This makes him eligible to be the GOP's next candidate for president.

Whoa! Alligator Alcatraz is going to be complete by Tuesday and open for operation on Wednesday. Am I the only one wondering how Ron DeSantis got this together so fast? Floridians, make sure you remember this the next time a hurricane hits and you can’t get disaster relief in your state.

Chris Murphy: "The CBO, nonpartisan, says it's gonna kick between 10 and 15 million people off their healthcare. And for what? To be able to afford a new $270,000 tax cut for the richest families in the country ... it's a moral abomination."

If the bill passes, it will make ICE the nation’s largest jailer, with more funding for prison camps than the entire federal Bureau of Prisons. It would give ICE enough money to have more officers than the entire FBI.
