Getting very tired of the tech bros making their inability to grapple with mortality everyone else's problem.

Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

I canceled my Spotify after over 10 years of being a paid subscriber. Until Spotify issues an apology and donates the value of the ICE recruitment ads they ran to charitable organizations assisting those harmed by ICE’s extrajudicial detainments, they won’t get another dime from me. DO BETTER.

Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol made $95.8 million in 2024. The median barista made just $14,674. That's a 6,666-to-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio. The largest of all S&P 500 companies. Every single worker should walk out. Americans deserve a livable wage. Enough!

Republicans thought they had a permanent hold over young men. They didn't. Spanberger wins men 18-29 by 14%, Sherrill by 10%, and Mamdani by a stunning 40%.

Prop 50 passes in California. Thank you, CA, for standing up to the tyrants in the White House, the Texas Capitol, and Congress. NO KINGS!!!

So we’re now paying federal taxes so Donald Trump can withdraw them from the Treasury like it’s his own personal bank account? Really?

Why is this regime so hell-bent on destroying social science broadly, and Sociology specifically? Social science measures, categorizes, validates, and describes interactions btwn groups, individuals, institutions… as well as the manipulations bad actors use to accomplish unpopular goals at scale.

Enough is enough. Adelita Grijalva was elected on September 23. The people of Arizona have a right to be represented in Congress.   During today’s pro forma session, when the House is called to order I will seek unanimous consent to insist upon the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva.

Ok let's see here, I have an economy dependent on consumer spending, and where everyone is leveraged to the gills. Should I make everything more expensive for no apparent reason and see how it goes?

Let’s talk raw numbers of protesters. Here’s footage of part of the No Kings protest in Austin last Saturday. This video shows only the first half of the route - HALF of the protest. It’s 11 city blocks (.7 miles) from the Texas Capitol to Cesar Chavez where the march turns (visible in this video)

TrumpDump diarrhea airplane is really earning the “slop” part of the term AI slop.

No Kings protest in Austin today was 95 degrees F. Tens of thousands of protesters marched from the Texas Capitol all the way across downtown and into south Austin. View down Congress Ave from the back of the protest.

After a week of ridiculous Republican smears and Trump claiming that “very few people are going to be there,” you just made history. #NoKings

Same - here's my footage from New Mexico

Batman just pulled up to the skirmish line in front of the detention center

Seattle No Kings from the monorail

Trump and the Republicans are denying you healthcare while they supply Kristi Noem with two luxury Gulfstream private jets for $172,000,000. Facts.

It’s going to take ages to pay all these people

This is Idaho 💙

we got a big boy

#NoKings Austin tagging in. Massive crowd at the Texas State Capitol despite Gov. Greg Abbott’s activation of the National Guard.

impossible to get the scope but the bridge is full and they just keep coming

Yes. Blue Austin shows up at the State Capitol of Red Texas’ #NoKings

Austin says, “No kings!”

Austin Texas No Kings

No Kings-Austin,TX

I ran into Beto in the middle of Congress Ave at No Kings in Austin today. An ocean of peaceful, joyful resistance filled the street, sidewalk to sidewalk, from the Texas Capitol all the way across Ladybird Lake into Auditorium Shores. No Kings in the Texas Capitol. No Kings in the White House.

If you're scared and want to hide, please hear this:

We get to deny Tr*mp a victory in Portland. He wants an insurrection, so we show up with a commitment to nonviolent First Amendment expression. Create the contrast: He is extreme, unhinged, his agents are violent and dysregulated. We are reasonable, normal, civil Americans.

Please hear this: nonviolent resistance is powerfully subversive. The regime is DESPERATE for us to either 1. commit violence, or 2. cower and obey. Either will suit their ends. So we give them neither. We subvert their paradigm and engage in nonviolent, disruptive resistance strategies.

Cato research proved Vance wrong.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett just did an absolutely brilliant job on Kasie Hunt's CNN show explaining why it's fair to describe Donald Trump as authoritarian and why it's nonsense to say that saying this promotes violence. She's clearly got a lot of brain processing power, I must say.

Tesla boss Elon Musk wants to overthrow UK govt. Big pharma wants the NHS to pay higher drugs prices or else. Banks warn govt not to levy higher taxes on them, cut worker wages they say. People bear cost of corporate pollution, abuses. Choice - Curb corporate power and slavery or democracy.

Why isn’t every local news broadcast opening with, “What are the ‘Groypers’, and how do you know the signs of your son is part of the deadly gang?”

In a sane world, Fox host Brian Kilmeade would be fired and shunned for his depraved comments that homeless people should be euthanized. That’s sick (and deeply ignorant), but sicker still is that it’s tolerated.

Shreveport, LA, the largest city in Speaker Mike Johnson's district, has a murder rate more than twice Chicago's, and a crime rate considerably higher than both the state and national average. And Johnson isn't calling for the military to invade it. One of many ways we know this isn't about crime.

Ohio parents of kids with disabilities are receiving letters from the school board demanding they pay “extra” for their disabled children. This is ableism and discrimination at its finest. They weren’t even given adequate warning. Just 17 days to pay up.

A global minimum tax on the ultrarich could change planetary politics. Right now South Africa, Chile, France, and Spain are pushing for it

Please stop travelling to the US If you’re in the US and don’t have to be, leave. It is not safe. Those that can leave, should. The rest of us should vote with our dollars and refuse to go there until it’s safe for everyone. They just murdered a Canadian.

Do they really think they can scare us with the word “socialist” when they are literally sending out men in masks with no warrants and no badges to disappear people off American streets? I know what I’m scared of, and it’s not a socialist.

So Miller attacked LA because Musk stole his wife and Trump is bombing Iran because no one came to his birthday party. Men are too emotional to lead.

Disgusting but correct. It’s a death cult.

The golden grifter just bombed Iran without Congressional approval. He “worked closely with” genocidal maniac Netanyahu to do so. This is vile beyond belief.

BREAKING:   NEW YORK (AP) - Judge says he will order Columbia University protester Mahmoud Khalil released from immigration detention.

Shouldn’t the NY Times headline note that this new policy breaks the law?

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.
