Listen, if you don’t know the difference between Democratic socialism and communism, I’m not engaging with you. Crack a book.

My patriotic song for this 4th of July

Watch this, folks. Interesting and very sobering

I just want to be clear as even the Democratic party tries to limit its messaging to just Donald Trump, that Mitch McConnell’s No. 1 goal was unlimited money in politics and he stole a Supreme Court seat to do it. The destruction of our democracy is ~his~ legacy.

The Roberts Court has done more damage to the people, lands, and institutions of this country than any court in history. Full stop. Going forward, I won't support any candidate that isn't actively talking about #SCOTUSReform

need to start thinking now about a full package of judicial reforms: new justices, new circuits, new district courts, ethics reforms, docket reforms, and transparency reforms.

Good morning!

Happy Pride, Santa Fe❣️ (And everywhere else celebrating today.)

This is a really big deal, peeps

Woohoo @bradlander.bsky.social!!!!

Corporations increasingly have more rights as "people" than you and I do thanks to our oh-so bad, horrible, terrible, corrupt, radical, blatantly partisan SCOTUS.

Folks, don’t hate watch donald’s b’day bash today. Boosting his ratings would be his fave b’day gift, so let’s not give it to him. (There will be plenty of clips later that won't boost the ratings if you’re curious.) Go out and enjoy the day and later watch this awesome counter programming.

Here is a Dem laughing at her habit of flouting the will of her constituents. 🤬 If this isn't establishment Ds (& Rs) in a nutshell, I don't know what is. We need to get the captured Electeds out of office and vote in leaders in who actually work for and listen to the will of the people.✊💙

Trump gets the "FIFA Peace Prize." Months later his DOJ drops a bribery case involving FIFA officials. FIFA "leases" office space at Trump Tower NYC that reportedly sits empty. Meanwhile, federal regulators look the other way as FIFA price gouges fans. Where's the red card when you need it?

This one hits hard.

"Are you prepared to stand and watch as Black political representation is erased? Do you yet understand that this is also your fight if you hope to live in a democracy?" I'm not and I do. ✊💙

Look at all the devastating ways Citizens United* impacts each of us every day. We must push our Electeds to end it. *It's another corrupt SCOTUS ruling saying corporations are people and money is free speech so corps. can basically bribe Electeds with endless donations for favors.

Imagine an America where elections cost less, voters mattered more, and public policy followed an honest path… hartmannreport.com/p/what-would...

You need to read Mamdani’s “Mayor’s Order” repealing kids’ bedtime so they can watch the Knicks in the final. This is how to do politics with joy.

Imagine if a woman president crashed the economy and started a war with no end in sight, and her biggest, seemingly ONLY concern was building a ballroom and redecorating the White House.

Two days ago a sitting US Senator was pepper sprayed for protesting ICE and it didn’t even become national news.

Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America.  He embodies the broken system we’re running against. It’s time to come together: The People vs. Ken Paxton

Here's how the corruption works: Thursday: RJ Reynolds donates $5M to Trump Saturday: Trump invites RJR execs to Mar a Lago; execs ask to loosen regs on flavored vapes; Trump calls up RFK Jr. and tells him to change it Friday: FDA changes the policy

Friends, I’ve been around politics for over 50 years. I’ve never seen anything as brazenly crooked and corrupt as what Trump and his cronies did today.

Steve Earle has released this beautiful video of his song "City of Immigrants," which was directed by Steve Buscemi. It's a wonderful ode to a key cause of American greatness. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkRt...

Mother's Day was originally created by social justice advocate, Julia Ward Howe, calling on mothers everywhere to promote the “amicable settlement of international questions, the great and general interests of peace.”

Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy.

Boycott Jeff Bezos and his Met Gala.

Disgusting. Despicable.

(Absolutely. It does have to be trotted out every year. Thank you for asking.)

In addition to peacefully fighting for racial, gender, LGBTQ+ (etc) equality, this is where it's at, folks. 👇

Our beloved Artemis II astronauts all look so very pleased to be meeting with donald. (And he's threatening to cut NASA's budget so his oligarch buddies can get all the space contracts, presumably. NASA's budget is less than 1%. We can feed the poor, have health care for all and go to space, folks.)

Tomorrow is the national call for a one day #GeneralStrike if you're able. No school, no work, no shopping (especially at big box stores/national brands. Locally owned stores only, if you must).

SCOTUS is corrupt & racist AF. 🤬 (Save for Kagan, Sotomayor, & Jackson, of course.) Chief Justice Roberts' legacy: being the worst chief justice in the history of ever. Worse than the horrible, infamous Chief Justice Taney (of the horrible, infamous Dred Scott decision). The. Fucking. Worst. 🏆🥇

Terrific take on the intellectually bankrupt use of "both sides" by the lazier members of the corporate media.

Shame on the White House Correspondents' Dinner attendees. Support independent media.

Jimmy Kimmel doing the "Alternative White House Correspondents’ Dinner" comedian roast. It's so funny. Watch. 😆😂😂 (And shame forever to every journalist who attends the real one. You're yet again legitimizing donald and so are hugely complicit in our current shit show.)

🔥 Extremely wise words from @adamkinzinger.substack.com Those of us who want real change have a responsibility to ourselves, to each other, and to our democracy to change *our* behavior in real ways that create that change. This one is a biggie, imo. Pls don't ignore it.

This is great! 😂
