Over 50 years later, this anti-Vietnam War PSA still rings true.

Misogyny is an increasing factor in far-right attacks, but it often goes unnoticed.

AI was trained on generations of human knowledge and work. Now Big Tech is making billions from it. It’s time to tax AI and make sure the American people benefit from what they helped build.

You wouldn’t work for someone who lied to u like this. You’d want nothing to do with someone who lied to u like this.

Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

Congrats on “opening” a strait that was open six weeks ago, and all it cost was at least 13 dead service members, thousands of dead Iranian civilians, tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, our loss in global standing, and the Iranian regime’s increase in power. Phenomenal work.

If you are worried that China is beating us, then take a look at this. China is investing heavily in renewable energy. The USA is fighting all forms of green energy. Reducing dependence on fossil fuels, and diversifying our energy sources could help us get ahead. It could prevent wars over oil.

Has anyone pointed out the fact that this guy is not only an absolute idiot, but he’s also reading from a speech text that he was too lazy to review beforehand?

This is absolutely insane and 25th amendment grounds in and of itself

Mark Jacob on how the press ignores the biggest Trump story: “The president of the United States is clearly mentally unfit for office."

Jeff Bezos has $222 billion. If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over. And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

For 40 years now, there are 2 things every Republican president has done: 1) Crash the economy 2) Start a war in the Middle East No Democratic President in that time has done either.

I think Trump just called for pulling the federal government out of Medicare and Medicaid. Seems like a pretty big deal.

The call is coming from inside the house.

🧵: If I were running for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2028, I’d make this pledge: accountability is not optional in a democracy. No one—not a president, not a family member, not a Cabinet official—is above the law.

Like clockwork.

It’s time

This one hits hard.

The Dilley family detention center is run by CoreCivic, a major Trump donor who has raked in millions from federal contracts already. Never forget who is profiting from this cruelty.

Secretary Howard Lutnick lied to the country about his ties to Epstein. Now we learned that they were in business together. He has no business being our Commerce Secretary. He should resign. www.politico.com/live-updates...

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Dozens of articles yesterday reported on Trump's rambling, profane remarks at National Prayer Breakfast. But I was only 1 to cover the more dangerous #ChristianNationalist remarks by Pete Hegseth: publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/at-nationa...

What do these corporations have in common? -Amazon -AT&T -Home Depot -Microsoft -Palantir They all reaped billions in tax breaks from Trump's Big Ugly Bill — and are actively collaborating with ICE's deportation machine. Always follow the money.

I guess this didn't make it into the documentary.

We are now 41 days beyond the statutory deadline for the full release of the Epstein files

Murphy on Bovino: "That was a bone-chilling interview. I was shaking while I was listening to it, in large part bc it takes just an unbelievable amount of gall to lie to the American public. Everybody saw that video ... it should freak the public out that the Trump administration lies this easily"

The rest of the world should absolutely boycott the World Cup and boycott the Olympics. At minimum.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.
