"liberation of the American peoples cannot be achieved w/o shedding imperial weight. Carrying an empire is a burden, certainly 1 that has enormous econ, social & moral costs for Americans who are deprived of their fair share of wealth,... diverted to the...war machine" @vietthanhnguyen.bsky.social

The reason the world is upset with Israel is because of the 700,000+ innocent Palestinians they’ve murdered. It’s not because they’re Jewish. Hope that helps.

Why don't our schools get the funding they need? Because there's not a lobby for public schools. Kids don't have a corporate PAC. We must be willing to take on the political system that always puts corporations over people.

Fox poll: Georgia registered voters Jon Ossoff (D) 56% Mike Collins (R) 43%

For America's 250th, I read Frederick Douglass’ speech, “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” on the House floor—for the first time in history. His speech endures as a mirror & mandate for us all—to confront our inequities while fighting for an America as good as its promise.

This should be happening everywhere! Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont signed SB 397, requiring ICE & other law enforcement to operate without masks & with visible identification, while expanding accountability for constitutional rights violations. Transparency & accountability matter! #SheShed

🚨EXCLUSIVE: After a Delaney Hall protester was PUNCHED by a GEO Group employee, @jordanchariton.bsky.social questioned Newark PD on whether they'd face an assault charge. Police took NO RESPONSIBILITY & deflected to Homeland Security Investigations — a response that conflicts with ICE's guidelines.

Same here. 👍 🇺🇸

Mamdani: "As we mark 250 years ... we see the wealthiest country -- one where children go to sleep hungry while the world's first trillionaire hungers for more ... we see masked agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans"

And don't forget: we don't have to help Bezos get richer. A lot of products on the Amazon site can be purchased directly from the vendor on their own website.

GOOD TO SEE… RELEASE THE FILES!

“If Democrats win, Congress will do its job again” is a wild message from the current Speaker of the House

It must be so cool to live in a functional republic.

ICE killed two people in Minneapolis. Two ICE agents were charged by the state, which may go nowhere. Today, the federal government charged 15 protesters with conspiracy. One side got federal prosecutors. The other got a body count. Notice the asymmetry. Who is the law protecting?

Do you know how much the typical worker would be making today if their wages had grown as much as CEO pay? This graph holds the shocking answer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lPPsrAMtTI

NEW: Leaked files show how the mysterious, invite-only Dialog group cofounded by Peter Thiel secretly ranks its members. (The secret sauce is wealth and fame.)

To read more about Russell Vought’s attempt to seize control over federal funding for everything from science to food assistance, have a read. If your state runs afoul of The Regime, the federal funding that your taxes paid for may evaporate.

“This is a victory for 🇺🇸— because our goal from day one was for Iran to open the strait that wasn’t closed until after we attacked…” 🤣 (H/T @waltermasterson.bsky.social )

“I am not going to let this administration move us back to a time when people were ripped out of their communities, ripped out of their homes,” @duckworth.senate.gov told Mother Jones. @juliametraux.bsky.social spoke with the senator about her plans to fight back.

I’d add that Obama bears some blame here as well. Firstly, he should have told RBG to cram it, and demanded her seat. Secondly, with the senate stonewalling him, he should have drafted an executive order to appoint justices unilaterally, citing the senate abdication of duty to oversee appointments

Btw... If SCOTUS says the president can't cancel St loans then how are they offering cancellation to Anyone joining ICE?

At least they're not hiding their corruption. Go big or go home.

Those closest to Ken Paxton know he’s unfit for office. James Talarico’s #CupOfJoe is full of facts about his opponent for the U.S. senate in Texas. TX, you know what you need to do! Elect jamestalarico.com!

Peak Russian military logistics: an entire fleet of stranded tanker trucks that somehow managed to run out of diesel. Congrats on the empire-building, comrades. Maybe next time don’t invade your neighbor while your trucks are cosplaying Mad Max.😂🇷🇺💀

Right-wing media is conflating DSA members with the broader Democratic progressive movement. Not the same thing. Actual DSA members: • Melat Kiros • Claire Valdez • Darializa Avila Chevalier • Chris Rabb  1/2

Here’s what I think you should do with your weekend: “If you’re pissed off that the United States is currently run by brazen misogynists who are suspiciously adjacent to pedophilic sex trafficking rings, you should go see Supergirl.” 📣 news.chanda.science/archive/you-...

🚨Trigger Warning. Video has deeply disturbing information🚨 The powerful shouldn’t get a free pass. If credible evidence exists, it must be investigated fully. If the allegations are false, prove it! Justice only works when it’s applied equally! #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles #BelieveSurvivors #SheShed

"Ridiculous, Disgraceful and Intolerable." Donald Trump.

There are CONCENTRATION CAMPS in the US in the year 2026, and it’s up to all of us to protect our neighbors.

I like my chances against Mike Rogers😊

I saw 'Supergirl' this week. A couple of minor issues for me but all in all I very much enjoyed it. All the hate directed at it is definitely rooted in misogyny. I recommend this movie.

Newsom: I’m really proud of the data that just came out. The lowest homicides in recorded history in California. Time for updated talking points for all those with California derangement syndrome. Eight out of the top 10 murder-rate states in America are red states.

Life is exhausting these days for lots of us, and I think I’ve figured out why. I think it’s having to sit through the pretending... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/americans-...
