42 Democrats joined 192 MAGAs to reauthorize FISA Section 702. FISA Section 702 is a warrantless surveillance law that's been used to access Americans' data—and now has been extended. Hakeem Jeffries stood by as 42 Dems voted with MAGA to give Trump expanded surveillance powers. Just reprehensible.

Janet Mills AKA Mills Mafia AKA Mills Pilled Nation has suspended her senate race in Maine! It will be Graham Platner vs Susan "the Fossil" Collins Lets get it Platner! Remember Bluesky Liberals: VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO

BREAKING: Mills ends her Senate run—Graham Platner the presumptive Dem nominee. Platner’s platform is nearly identical to Mamdani’s platform—and polling has Platner up 10 points against Susan Collins. In MAINE! Dems will win every seat when we prioritize WORKING PEOPLE over corporate interests.

This is so bad, our democracy is closer to falling into an abyss which we won't be able to easily climb out of. So much progress undone by 6 Conservative Supreme Court Justices and their decision to limit the Voting Rights Act

BREAKING: The Supreme Court struck down a Louisiana map that fairly represents Black voters, gutting Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. This devastating attack from the Court majority destroys protections for voters of color across the country.

Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

This👇🏽 deserves to be posted 100 times but I’d be labeled spam.

The John Roberts Court has done more to reduce the political power of poor people and Black people while enlarging the voting rights of rich people and corporations than has any court since Roger Taney was Chief Justice in the 1800s. I opposed his nomination in 2005, and I stand by that.

It says a lot about Newsom and establishment Democrats in general when they are willing to show mild resistance against Trump but will totally fold when it comes to taxing the greediest and wealthiest people in our country

A California ballot initiative to impose a one-time 5% tax on billionaires’ assets has gathered more than 1.5 million signatures.

BREAKING: Two Democratic Reps. are introducing a bill to raise the federal minimum wage to $25/hr and eliminate subminimum wages. Reps. Delia Ramirez and Analilia Mejia are introducing the bill, saying it's unacceptable that the minimum wage has been stuck at $7.25 since 2009.

It's a bit strange seeing so many people believe the WHCD shooting to be staged or fake I wish they would see this as a sign of society growing more unstable where typically* non-violent people resort to violent means, an extension and long-term consequence of liberal capitalism and neoliberalism

At the mere mention of a shooter in the building, watch how Stephen Miller, Kash Patel, and Erica Kirk react. These are the same people demanding our children endure hundreds of school shootings a year — they expect kids to be braver than they are. This is hypocrisy personified.

shut your bitch ass up

To figure out why Cole Allen did what he did, I obtained a copy of his resume and talked to his former friends. The portrait that emerges is unlike what the White House is saying: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/assassin-w...

Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft are all planning huge layoffs. Amazon got $17.5B in federal tax breaks last year. Jeff Bezos is worth $271B. Meta saved $13.7B in taxes. Mark Zuckerberg is worth $231B. Microsoft saved $12.5B last year. Its CEO is worth $1.3B. This is what a rigged economy looks like.

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America: 1. Break up corporate monopolies 2. Continue building union power 3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

This could be Tom Steyer's best endorsement yet lol #CA #Politics

Proton's founder and CEO, Andy Yen, explains the threats and dangers of online ID verification "When online anonymity is stripped away, whistle-blowers keep their mouths shut. People in desperate need of help don’t ask for it. And democracy itself suffers..."

This weekend, pseudoscience pushers, including Trump’s HHS report author, will be teaching doctors from around the US anti-trans pseudoscience. Now, anti trans activists say as a result of our story, 2k emails have been sent to get them to cancel. They are pointing followers to an email address.

"The climate that the Democrats have helped help lay in these 20 years of hawkish statements and resolutions and the like really made Trump’s job easier and has enabled him to, thus far, get away with it."

Look at this chart. Tax cuts for the rich are a policy choice. Cutting the social safety net in exchange for them is a policy choice. States like New York have an opportunity to help undo this trickle down nonsense by raising taxes on the rich (who will still be rich). I hope Gov. Hochul does.

Privacy stalwarts in Congress just bought us a few more days to put together a bill that actually reforms Section 702. Keep pushing. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

I've noticed more people becoming alarmed by the dystopian surveillance of Palantir, i want to remind about the underlying mechanisms fueling it: persistent digital fingerprinting, online trackers/tracking scripts, data brokers, etc. Our inadequate privacy laws are what makes Palantir possible 1/2

Privacy is a human right.

Despite Israel’s genocide of Palestinians, these 7 Democratic Senators voted AGAINST a resolution to block sale of weapons to Israel: 🔵Richard Blumenthal (CT) 🔵Chris Coons (DE) 🔵Catherine Cortez-Masto (NV) 🔵John Fetterman (PA) 🔵Kristen Gillibrand (NY) 🔵Jacky Rosen (NV) 🔵Chuck Schumer (NY)

Clarence Thomas ruled in favor of Citizens United. Harlan Crow's political contributions then went up 862%. Then we later find out Thomas let Crow take him on lavish trips, buy his mom's house, and help fund his wife's conservative nonprofit. But go on about how "progressivism" is a problem...

ICE is not about immigration. ICE is about normalizing a paramilitary force on peaceful streets. Abolish ICE.

Our team received a report of intermittent app outages at about 11:40pm PDT on April 15, 2026. They worked through the night to mitigate a sophisticated Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack, which intensified throughout the day.

The average federal income tax for an individual is 14.5%. But in 2025, Google’s parent company, Alphabet, paid just an 8% tax rate. Meta paid just 3.75%. Amazon paid just 1.37%. Palantir and Tesla paid nothing. itep.org/corporate-ta...

This Tax Day 287 major companies are avoiding $139,256,870,000 in taxes on $1 trillion of their 2025 profits.

NEWS: Huge first win for Mayor Mamdani’s tax-the-rich plans in NYC. Mamdani just secured a deal with Gov. Hochul to create the state’s first-ever tax on $5 million+ second homes owned by ultrawealthy out-of-state residents.

We Need You: Our Privacy Cannot Afford a Clean Extension of Section 702.

Unbelievable stuff from the Washington Post on behalf of Jeff Bezos today.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

congratulations to the astronauts who get credit for a moon mission using rocket development work by trans women who had to quit their job and flee the state of florida and can’t celebrate this win with their coworkers

1. Idaho banned the pride flag on government property. So Boise made the pride flag their official city flag, which allowed them to fly it. Then Idaho banned new city flags. So in response, Boise has now wrapped the poles themselves in rainbows! Subscribe to support our journalism.

EFF exists to protect people's digital rights. Not just the people who already value our work, have opted out of surveillance, or have already migrated to the fediverse. The people who need us most are often the ones most embedded in the walled gardens of the mainstream platforms. (3/5)

ICE loves hurting and killing women.

"An extremely invasive surveillance capability such as this should require the strongest judicial oversight and confirmation that such intrusion is necessary and [a] proportionate response to the crime being investigated," EFF’s @cooperq.com told @npr.org.

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.

Meanwhile Prof Tim Snyder is also issuing warnings about the same.

Anger towards big tech companies exists because these companies harvest and exploit peoples’ data. We should pass laws to stop that. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...
