I hope this catches on and becomes his legacy

The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left." It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power.

Today has been extremely hard. I've been obsessed with Ozzy Osbourne's music for 30 years and I'm not ready for him to be gone. I'm so glad he had the tribute a few weeks ago, but I'm so sad. This was a great tribute to the legend, the God of heavy metal.

Throughout history, tyrants have understood that their major enemy is an educated public. Trump is no different. That’s why he’s trying to control not just what we do – but what we think. Watch: https://youtu.be/rEH7sF6pA4s?si=zC1tb0MqvpyTQNKC

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy. Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media. That’s why Trump is attacking the Dept. of Education, science, and the arts – to prevent us from learning. It's fascism.

The Trump regime is about to burn 500 tons of USAID emergency food. Why? Because it expired after its shipment was delayed. 1.5 million children could have eaten for a week. Now, taxpayers will spend $130K for it to be destroyed. This isn’t just inefficient – it’s cruel.

My first grandbaby will be born soon. I'm very excited and I know my sweetie will be a star. So I crocheted one for em to wear.

Black farmers have lost more than 90 percent of their land since 1910. (From 2021)

Terrifying.

It shouldn't get lost that just today, Senate Republicans have voted to close nursing homes, close rural hospitals, and cut food stamp benefits for children and veterans.

We’re in the second Gilded Age just like the first — when America’s wealth was in the hands of a few, money corrupted politics, and working people were abused and exploited. It can be easy to feel discouraged, but the first Gilded Age teaches us lessons on how we can fight back.

New — I wrote about how Zohran Mamdani’s win shows the power of a positive vision for the future, New Yorkers’ rejection of fear-based politics, and provides a blueprint for progressive Jews and Muslims to create a multi-racial, multi-faith coalition that supports prosperity for all. Read it here:

A Dem lawmaker and her husband were killed by a guy for their political views and it’s already out of the news.

If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.

BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional. We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.

1. Alert, and please share widely. A lawyer at the ACLU has asked me to inform my transgender readers that they should NOT be applying for passports right now - the state department has not issued guidance to comply with the court order and they are urgently trying to get them to do so. 🧵

I couldn't let that Confessore piece slide. It was such a disgusting hit piece on a vulnerable community in a moment of crisis. I dissected the article and why its framings are dishonest at best and outright lies of ommission at worst. www.thedissident.news/anatomy-of-a...

Guess I know what I'm doing this weekend. Join us?

We won't let today's ruling stop us from continuing our fight for trans justice.

Like I fucking said earlier. Stop hurting my children! www.reddit.com/r/missouri/s...

I need the government to stop hurting my kids.

Yesterday 💜 No kings.

One of the reasons I think “defund the police” is a great slogan is that you get to repeatedly tell people that studies show that police don’t actually solve murders, and in fact one-third of stranger-murders are committed by police.

I wish we were only reading about dystopia.

It’s TACO Tuesday…

Congress is back in session—and your senators need to hear from you. Tell them to vote NO on the Trump budget that would sell out America to give billionaires a tax break they don't even need.

Honestly terrifying. Meteorologist on the "multigenerational impact" of cuts to American science & specifically the National Weather Service & NOAA. "What you need to do is call your representatives & make sure these cuts are stopped." Find your Senators: senate.gov Reps: house.gov 202-224-3121

No more masked ICE agents. Unmask the terrorists.

Amazing. Right out in the open: "universities are free to do research as long as they're sympathetic to the administration." I want to personally play this clip in the face of every fucking clown who spent the last several years pretending that the left is the "real" threat to free speech.

Agreed.

Yes.

As House Republicans pass a budget bill that takes from the poor to finance tax cuts predominantly for the rich, Trump is hosting a dinner for investors in his crypto business who spent a total of $394 million to gain access to him. It's clear who they really serve.

1. In a major escalation, the Alliance Defending Freedom has just launched a lawsuit in Minnesota seeking a declaration that Title IX mandates discrimination against transgender students. This could have enormous ripple effects across the country if they win. Subscribe to support my journalism.

The GOP budget bill is 1,116 pages long but it boils down to this one simple fact: Republicans are facilitating a massive transfer of wealth to the richest Americans while making cuts that would rip away healthcare and food from millions of people. It's Robin Hood in reverse.

Look at this BS @yahoofinance.com story, saying Trump was "unlucky" to catch a debt bomb thrown by his spendthrift predecessors. In Trump's 1st term, Fed debt rose $7.8 trillion, a 39% increase in the national debt over four years, the largest single 1-term rise. Do better, Rick Newman. t.ly/bZ4Vr

This is scary and sad

@adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social: "Why is the White House working so hard to smear this man, even after the administration acknowledged it wrongly deported him to a prison in El Salvador known for human rights abuses?" www.thebulwark.com/p/kilmar-is-...

WATCH: @aoc.bsky.social explains how the Republican bill will: - Gut Medicaid - Increase premiums for private health insurance - Force rural hospitals to close All to give a giant tax handout to billionaires.

The blame game began only hours after President Trump announced Saturday that the U.S. had mediated an immediate ceasefire.

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive. In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him. Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

Your School House Rock moment......

Every single day this unqualified trainwreck stays in this job is another day our troops are at greater risk. Hegseth needs to be fired before these security breaches get someone killed. apnews.com/article/hegs...

Oh, were you watching something?

Maddow: 88% of the country says no, no, he cannot defy a supreme court ruling. Only 9% say yes he can. And you know, it's not the same thing. But I should mention that 9% is also the proportion of Americans who told yougov this week that they have a favorable view of the black plague

Man, I repost her a lot.

Frost: I still hold the supreme court is very much skewed to the right… But the fact the court is so skewed to the right even then they are still saying in a unanimous decision that he needs to be brought home shows that should not be a partisan issue

Absolutely.
