So why are Texans suffering so badly?

The public didn’t ask for another slogan. Today’s Monsanto decision shows clearly that MAHA is what we’ve known it to be all long: clever marketing, little substance, and a public worse off than where we started. cc: @whitehouse-47.bsky.social

For the people who give a shit…

Why are the US media and Democratic politicians so averse to recognizing that SCOTUS judges can be impeached?

Today I learned that one of the principal architects of the Moderna Covid-19 Vaccine is a Black woman named Kizzmekia Corbett. Why didn't I know this before? #Racism #Sexism

It’s just weird to me that the nominally moderate Democrats seem more interested in preserving the party infrastructure than being responsive to voter or, like, using power to do things.

A ship full of solar panels only has to make the trip once. It arrives, gets installed, and generates electricity for the next 20 years. A ship full of liquefied natural gas? It has to make the trip EVERY YEAR to generate the same amount of electricity over those 20 years. The choice is clear.

Wow, he’s talking about the President of the United States….

China is eating our lunch in almost everything. (no sound needed) China builds solar parks over reservoirs. This design improves the efficiency of the panels by keeping them cooler and lowers water loss from evaporation

Phang: I have standing to be able to get Todd Blanche to comply with Judge Sullivan’s order, which is now telling him that on or before July 2nd, he either has to put up or shut up. He either has to bring forth unredacted files or show cause as to why he should not or cannot do so.

BREAKING: Judge Sullivan has GRANTED Katie Phang's preliminary injunction concluding she has standing, has been harmed, and will likely succeed on the merits of her case demanding the full release of the Epstein files. Blanche has until 7/2 to respond. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Starbucks workers have just won their 700th union. Since 2021 @sbworkersunited.org has conducted a massive unionization effort. They now represent 700 Starbucks stores and over 15,000 workers. www.nlrbedge.com/p/starbucks-...

BREAKING: We just won in court — again — to protect Pennsylvanians’ right to vote by mail.

At this point, climate change deniers should be treated like flat-earthers. What more evidence would a reasonable person need?

Corporate Welfare Needs to End! And the Corporations Must Be Required to Pay a Minimum Tax on Profits…. “Amazon received $17.5 billion in tax subsidies last year and made $78 billion in profit. If they're so successful, why do taxpayers have to give them subsidies?”

🚨BREAKING: In a MAJOR VICTORY, the 6th Circuit REJECTS Department of Justice lawsuit to access Michigan's voter file. The first appeals court to rule on an appeal in DOJ's 9 defeats. I am proud of the Elias Law Group team for this critical win! www.democracydocket.com/cases/michig...

When the world is measured in dollars, even a living forest becomes invisible.

"A Constitutional right millions of us had lived with for nearly 50 years disappeared in a single morning with a vote,” local organizer Marie Follayttar said, WGME reported. “And every single one of us who fought to stop it knew exactly how we had got there. Susan Collins." #SusieTheEnabler

Anyone not running on reforming the Supreme Court cant be the leader of anything moving forward. It's an unhinged gang of extremists unrestrained by anything or anyone.

Owners and operators of ~400 newspapers are suing OpenAI and Microsoft for scraping their content to build products like ChatGPT and Copilot without permission or compensation. news.bloomberglaw.com/litigat...

If the USPS refuses to deliver ballots because Trump tells them to, that's the end of our democracy. Period. It's a move that's so outrageous, so authoritarian, that I can only hope it will be blocked by the courts.

“We’ve only had 114 years to do something, let our kids sort it out!”

BREAKING: AOC just introduced the AI Data Center Moratorium Act, which bans the construction of data centers until Congress addresses all impacts of AI on our society and planet. 💪 I support this 💯 U.S. DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISTS

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

The man pardoned 1,500 insurrectionists in one fell swoop and nobody did anything He started a war with one nation and kidnapped the leader of another and nobody did anything He literally tore down a third of the White House and nobody did anything What else will our leaders do nothing about?

You know if a man of that status is lying to you, we have much bigger issues to contend with.

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs. A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which was gutted last year. If Bezos can spend $500M on a yacht, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

Come on South Carolina’s District One, Vote Lacore for Congress in November…..

They Robbed the Treasury, raped our kids, started illegal Wars, got their rich buddies & their spawn Filthy Rich on OUR DIME. Stop funding these Crooks.

Important thread

2/ The ACLU is documenting it live. Federal agencies slap vague "extremism" labels on protesters, surveil journalists, and freeze free speech across the country. This is not a warning about the future. The infrastructure is already running. www.aclu.org/trump-on-sur...

You notice that the criminal-in-charge who sues everyone for everything is drop dead quiet about this. Says a lot.

Talk to me some more about climate change being a hoax…

A federal judge ordered the Kennedy Center to submit a status report next month updating the court about why tarps have stood in front of the building’s sign since President Donald Trump’s name was removed.

According to our Constitution, we should have overthrown our government by now.

Thank you, algae.

And... Epstein.

The SAVE Act is deceitful legislation. The GOP aren’t trying to SAVE America, they’re trying to overthrow it. stevesack.substack.com

“Abortion bans don’t stop abortions, but they do kill people. They kill women, in higher numbers, but in many of the same, preventable ways, that these women were dying before. All of which was completely and utterly predictable.” - @amylittlefield.bsky.social www.thenation.com/article/soci...

💰 @grahamformaine.bsky.social PLATNER: “Wall Street’s takeover of our economy wasn’t an accident... We are living in a system operating exactly as intended… policy choices made by establishment politicians in the service of people who donated the most money to them. And it needs to end.”

Zohran Mamdani and AOC aren’t the main reasons democratic socialists are getting elected. Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Donald Trump and Mike Johnson are the main reasons democratic socialists are getting elected. Eventually, people start to realize who’s keeping them poor.
