Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft are all planning huge layoffs. Amazon got $17.5B in federal tax breaks last year. Jeff Bezos is worth $270B. Meta saved $13.7B in taxes. Mark Zuckerberg is worth $210B. Microsoft saved $12.5B last year. Its CEO is worth $1.3B. This is what a rigged economy looks like.

When the state is disenfranchising its Black voters, there's zero question why ROOTS was just banned in Knox County, Tennessee, schools. "Age-Appropriate" my ass. www.wbir.com/article/news...

The rush to silence Black voters ahead of the 2026 election is stone cold racism. It's Jim Crow 2.0.

Trump is negotiating to settle his lawsuit against his own IRS, and one of the remedies being floated (along with almost 2 billion dollars) is the IRS dropping all audits of Trump, his family, and his businesses. Just absolutely staggering corruption.

PabloReports: Ted Cruz called you a parasite and disparaged your work as a bartender. AOC: I think it’s funny that he’s been taking a government paycheck for 23 years but has the audacity to criticize someone who has come from a family that had to work their way up and earn their place here.

Abortion pills are still available - no matter what the US Supreme Court decides today.

Residents in Fayette County, Georgia noticed their water pressure was unusually low. Turns out that a data center 20 miles away had been drawing 30 million gallons of water in secret through connections the county didn't know existed. Is it any wonder why so many are opposed to data centers?

Jessica Valenti reports that Child Protective Services has targeted mothers in multiple states who helped their daughters seek out abortions. This represents a new and largely unexamined consequence of the end of Roe. The government is using family separation as an anti-abortion weapon.

Nepal’s abortion laws came under global scrutiny as advocates called for full decriminalization during the Women Deliver 2026 conference in Melbourne (Apr 27-30). Speakers at a Nepal-focused session warned that weak implementation of the law and conflicting laws continue to put women at risk.

Happy May Day to the people who keep this country going. Today, workers took to the streets demanding that this country put workers over billionaires. Workers are the backbone of this country — and this economy doesn’t work without them.

...And hours later Louisiana is the source of the new FDA mifepristone ruling at the 5th circuit. So tiresome.

Save the date! The 5th Global Abortion and Reproductive Justice Conference (ARJC) is headed to Kenya on 16-18 June 2026. Hosted by MAMA Network mamanetwork.org, ARJC 2026 brings together activists and academics to engage in critical discussions about abortion and reproductive justice.

A picture is worth 1000 words.

A demonstration at the Dilley Concentration Camp in Texas. Children and families have been imprisoned in the concentration camp in Texas for months, and all they’ve experienced is abuse, neglect, mistreatment, undrinkable water and moldy food. #SHUTDOWNDILLEY Credit: @mommmaliz.bsky.social

Asking them to defend their positions as SURVIVORS is like TELLING THEM THEY DESERVE TO BE MOLESTED AGAIN. WE HAVE THE FILES RELEASE THEM 🤬😬😬

Beware ⚠️ Don't believe the lies. www.whoisadvancecolorado.org

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

This is rich from the guy tried to interfere in Hungary, failed in Iran negotiations and appears to have contributed to the death of the last Pope. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/13/u...

My Christmas cactus bloomed for the second time in six months. 🩷 Positive sign from the universe? 🩷

No one implicated in the Epstein files has yet been held accountable. The victims must receive justice. Keep talking about the Epstein files.

Just a reminder that the senator who sponsored the bill which became law with broad bipartisan support that states a president cannot pull the US out of NATO without congressional approval was … Marco Rubio.

RELEASE ALL THE EPSTEIN FILES

Here’s the thing. I don’t care about your religious beliefs or your moral and ethical codes until it interferes in the lives, and the rights of others. Just because you claim to take guidance from a 2000 year old book of fiction, you do not get to invalidate the existence of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Stephen Miller demanded that ICE-holes “force confrontations” with protesters because “anti-ICE could not be viewed as successful.” He repeatedly said that protesters “need to be vanquished by any force necessary.” Later, ICE-holes murdered Alex Pretti. #ProudBlue #StephenMiller #FuckICE #AlexPretti

Leah Greenberg: No Kings 3 was a historic day of defiance. And also, you are on this call because you know, as we do, that no one day of protest is going to fix things. No Kings is incredible. It's also a tactic in a strategy.

Big win!

Epstein files. Now.

Mooch loves this one. So do I!

MacFarlane: Your briefings were read to you? Crow: That’s right. Most of the time, they come in and they just read a script. And then when you ask questions that are off-script, they are unable to answer them.

A leadership change cannot come fast enough. Schumer's exit is long overdue. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

This is what solidarity looks like. #NoKings

Walz: The president said it's a bunch of radicals. You're damn right we've been radicalized. Radicalized by compassion, radicalized by decency, radicalized by due process, radicalized by democracy.

An important read! www.nytimes.com/2026/03/25/o...

We must not forget

Chris Murphy: "It's just disgusting, it's so heartbreaking that we have a president who is cheerleading the death of American citizens. Mueller is amongst many who have been trying to hold this president to account. He's the most corrupt president in the history of the country."

Agree!

This would be an interesting backfire during spring break. I would call his bluff. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/21/u...

Feminism: don't put flowers on her grave just yet. (Not my title but definitely my essay.) Nicely timed to remind us all that Harvey Weinstein is not at the Oscars (and never will be again). On how change works and what it takes to actually perceive change.

Abigail wonders why mom stopped getting the hard copy of the New York Times. Our house can only handle so much self-inflicted trauma at once.

Americans are dying and we’re killing Iranians and guess where Trump is? Yup, His pimp Palace Mar-r- lago, golfing and sticking it to America with the charges.

This is oligarchy.

Major Iran news - Four more US troops have died.😔💔 Trump is fundraising off the war (like the parasitic leech he is) in a SUPER fucked up way. He underestimated Iran’s power to maintain control of the Strait, and as a result oil & gas prices are spiking everywhere. He’s reduced sanctions on Russia.

NOPE!!! #Iran #Epstein #EpsteinFiles

A strong and thoughtful leader who is leading her country forward. Sigh.

This is shameful and devastating. It will lead to long term ramifications. 2028 cannot come soon enough. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
