The story that Elon Musk committed voter fraud has gotten next to no coverage -- one of those things you can't make come up on a Google search. But I think it's time for Dems to go on offensive abt right wing coddling of this immigrant interfering in our elections. newrepublic.com/post/206857/...

Turns out there’s an economic cost to everyone hating us.

Is there any time, place, or context in which a government hanging enormous banners of the Leader’s face was not a sign of a diseased and authoritarian society? Because I certainly can’t think of one.

O. M. G. Just checked TCM’s #31DaysOfOscar schedule for next Tuesday, and the 5 PM Pacific movie is GASLIGHT. Perfect choice to watch to avoid the State of the Union. Really, truly perfect. #Gaslight #TCMParty

Joanne Bland, one of the youngest people to march on “Bloody Sunday,” has died. She was 72. "By the time I was 11-years-old, I had been arrested at least 13 documented times”

So if billionaires are asked to pay 5% of any they have over a billion dollars, they will still have that billion dollars! What’s the fucking point of having all this money if not to help everyone achieve their goals? Bernie is right: billionaires should not exist!

The Roberts Court has a clear set of guidelines: the president can do anything he pleases, so long as it does not violate the rights of the owning class.

Look, he can harass brown people for just existing and kill peaceful protestors all he wants. But don’t mess with the money!

BOOM from SCOTUS: "IEEPA does not authorize the President to impose tariffs." It appears to be a 6-3 decision authored by Roberts. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

In 2012, the Democratic chairman of the FCC proposed eliminating cross-ownership bans altogether. The pseudo-free market ideology that infected both parties allowed this malignant cancer on the American polity to grow unchecked.

It is essential to take the threat to women’s voting rights posed by the SAVE Act within the wider context of coercive and misogynistic views on the right. I wrote about it for @liberalcurrents.com www.liberalcurrents.com/we-need-to-t...

SAVE act is more than its purposeful disenfranchisement, poll taxes, and misogyny. It creates costly administrative burdens on local officials, may trigger massive voter roll purges right before elections wo time to correct errors, and sows MAGA-made doubts into election validity.

I do not understand why conservative businesses are not pushing back against Trump's kind of artificial economic depression, same for tariffs...the government is purposefully ruining the prosperity and safety of commerce within the United States.

Limbaugh, rightwing radio, and Murdoch paved the road Trump traveled down.

The only dating app I want is one that matches you with other people rewatching the same old emotional support shows as you so you can chat about them as you watch

There's something grim about the fact that I could describe someone as "A drug-addled, racist, psychotic maniac who happens to have more wealth than Croesus" you'd probably ask "Which one?"

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

Recall the majority opinion in Plyler the justices pointedly said they wanted to avoid creating and underclass of people who wouldn't have a public education due to a legal status beyond their control. And now HF wants to go back to that. Fog horning racism.

My city, Oakland, has roughly the same population (a bit more, actually) as the entire country of Iceland. IMAGINE, if you will, what we could dream up and design and see with this level of arts funding -- instead of funding our carceral state.

Russia cannot conquer Ukraine without U.S. help. The only hope for the invaders to avoid defeat was to install Trump in the White House and then exploit their asset to force Ukrainian defenders to give up. Trump is hysterical with rage at Ukrainians because his boss Putin is.

Counterpoint: Don’t upload your medical records to any LLM. That’s fucking insane.

Can we please make sure we keep this in mind when everyone decides to make fun of people concerned about their safety in regard to civil disobedience.

🧵 Call your Senators! This bill if enacted would further degrade our already shaky democracy. Otherwise we're in for another court battle to try and overturn more unconstitutional, sloppy, bigoted bills passed by this "Congress" and signed by this "President".

One of the lessons I hope people take away from Jesse Jackson’s life and the outpouring of remembrances small and large is that progress is made and measured in every act and utterance against oppression and not measured solely in legislative or electoral victories.

A blockade to prevent nuclear weapons from being delivered to an autocratic government is not the same as denying fuel for basic necessities to maintain at least minimal health and safety standards for the Cuban people. The US government is perpetrating another crime against humanity here.

This incredibly moving choreography dedicated to Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Performed on the grounds of our National monuments in Washington, DC. And listen to the lyrics.

One way to identify right-wing dominance of the US media environment: This is much more direct, egregious government censorship than the biggest claims of the “Twitter Files”—including ones they made up that had no evidence behind them—and will get a small fraction of the attention and outrage.

That's not how logic works buddy- Are masked voters murdering people in the streets?

Seems like most of R’s in Congress have no idea about current laws, the existence of 50 States or the Constitution

It costs $130 + a $35 facility fee to obtain a passport and an extra $30 for a passport card. In California, fees for certified copies of vital records are between $18 and $31 each. How is the SAVE Act not a poll tax?

Re: Nick Shirley’s big California *expose*

Rest in peace and thank you, Jesse Jackson. Saw him in person once - took this photo at Yale in 1988. Canon New F-1, Canon FD 135mm f2.5, Kodak Tri-X. #BelieveInFilm #35mmLoveLetter

I don't need Copilot to help me write an email because I possess the skill known as "knowing how to write an email".

In 2023, an Oregon program began providing 120 homeless youth with $1,000 every month. Two years later, 94% of participants reported they were housed. www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

This is an impeachable offense.

I've shaken hands with a number of famous, important, or noteworthy people during my life. Yet only two of those interactions still reverberate with me in a very visceral way: Jesse Jackson and Alex Trebek. And now both are gone. 😭🙏

Powerful. 😭

Someone tell Hillary that this is her husband’s legacy too

“My constituency is the desperate, the damned, the disinherited, the disrespected and the despised. They are restless and seek relief.” — Jessie Jackson www.nytimes.com/2026/02/17/u...

Republicans are successfully building out Orban's state media model here in the states. It's really not very subtle.

Even as Rev. Jesse Jackson has died, his afterlife has begun through us. Through our undying struggle against racism. Through our eternal organizing of rainbow coalitions against resurgent ethnostates. Through our everlasting striving to “Keep Hope Alive!” Rest peacefully, Rev. Jackson. 🕊️💔

The likelihood that one Colbert interview changes the outcome of the Democratic senate primary in Texas or the subsequent general election is very small. This is govt censorship for censorship’s sake. As assertion of power. Statement of values. Sending a signal. Pushing the line. Because they can.

Pointing out Republicans lie all the time is a nice move and should be highlighted by the media much more, and is probably very easy when they lie about things like "written correspondence," but the media has tried to downplay that Republicans lie all the time as much as possible.

I somehow didn't predict that American dystopia would be so warehouse (concentration camps, data centers) based

Sometimes the YouTube auto-captioning catches the sentiment just...*chef's kiss* #SecretaryGnome

Federal court orders Trump administration to restore historical panel exhibits at President’s House in Philadelphia. Happy Presidents Day.

Ask yourself: why would this administration want to delete references to Medgar Evers’ racist assassin being a racist? Why might that be? I challenge anyone in this administration or Congress to defend this.

People can have different political opinions about immigration policy. Political differences are fine, healthy for a democracy. But if you’re okay with this, that’s not a political opinion. That is a moral failing. 27/
