Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

This should be done in every state.

While this is not legal advice, it’s great practical advice on steps to consider if a loved one is taken by ICE. It will be translated soon by the @dhcfalachua.bsky.social group and we will repost it when they do! But consider following this great group of volunteers!

Republicans don’t need a single democratic vote to fund their regime. Here’s why. Please share widely.

Yes!

Ohio Democrat Sherrod Brown makes it official. He’ll vie to unseat Trump-backed Sen. Jon Husted.

So white man slaps a black man and starts a “riot” but hasn’t been charged #Cincinnati #DoBetter www.wcpo.com/news/local-n...

Worth a watch: Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.

❤️ Thank you Cincinnati.

Here is Palantir’s end game. Dr. James Giordano, a Georgetown Professor of Neurology, gives a talk at the Naval Academy about combining AI’s ability to organize genetic, medical, financial, and social data with nanotechnology to track our location, actions, and intentions. youtu.be/R_iSUlODu_A

Protesters are showing up in Cincinnati, Ohio for the Hands Off! protest!

Why would a leader tank his own country's economy? It's a key part of the aspiring autocrat's playbook. Tariffs & chaos mean more power & control for Trump. But America has no king. The Republican-led Congress can stop this at any time. Let your reps hear from you. 5calls.org/issue/trump-...

OK team. I need your help. Our friends at Eleven Films have been nominated for a WEBBY AWARD for "Tomorrow is Too Late" YOU can vote to help them WIN! Jim and Tiffany have been busting their asses without compensation for almost a decade to try to save democracy. Let’s have their backs. VOTE:

Governor Andy Beshear (D-Kentucky) on Kristi Noem's call to eliminate FEMA: "The states cannot do what FEMA does without duplicating certain tasks 50 times over. If you've got an operation that's running well, work with it, improve it, don't eliminate it."

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks… “The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government. 🧵

Democracy Docket is not on Substack. Yes, it's more difficult to get sign-ups and expensive to operate. But it's worth it. It has no corporate overlords. It is not dependent on investors. It only depends on you. If this is what you value, support it today. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

Math is hard

The incompetence of this administration is bottomless.

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

Trump is taking over the Kennedy Center board, appointing himself as chair. No president has ever done this. The last time the arts were forced to align with government messaging? WWII Germany. This is a power grab, not culture. Speak out. #HandsOffTheArts thehill.com/blogs/in-the...

Think I can get a patent on the game. Rapist reality or Russian.

PCE inflation has fallen to 2.1%—nearly at its 2% target—and incomes are up nearly $4,000. The economy has grown 12.6% under President Biden—more than any presidential term this century. 16 million jobs created and the lowest unemployment in 50 years. 🚨 Do not let Trump take any credit for this.

Everything is fine….Do not obey in advance
