Large companies should have enshittification councils empowered to reverse shittifying changes.

There are 28 Republican members on the House Oversight Committee. None of them showed for Les Wexner’s deposition on Epstein. Cowards.

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

Normalize laughing derisively in men's faces when they deserve it.

This is a madness rune for people, but this basic fact, "voting for the imaginary Trump in their heads" during an inflationary period, is exactly why there is no magical policy position Harris could've taken that would've guaranteed a different outcome.

Damn, people who desperately need reined in running away to where they can escape regulation.

fucccckkk

I’ve always maintained that if you scratch a libertarian most of the time you find a conservative that wants whatever their niche issue happens to be to be legal and unregulated.

What really needs to happen is better resources for parents with autistic children. Better education about the spectrum, how to aid your child to the best life they can live, and being ready for them to not be what you expected. Not some eugenics ass therapy that won’t work and will only harm kids

Hey America, I know this is down the list a bit, but it would be really great if you’d actually support artists.

It would be swell if people would learn to listen SPECIFICALLY to Black Women when they tell you what’s coming and what’s at stake. This was all avoidable and NOBODY should be surprised.

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

If "AI" was being built, used, and planned for in responsible ways--the way a civilization designed to enhance human thriving would do--then a lot more people would be enthusiastic about its potential. But the people in charge of defining what AI will be are the fucking worst short-term scumbags.

Something I appreciate that feels unpopular in too many spaces is competency and command of knowledge. I want people in power who know how to wield it usefully and sustainably when they get it, right from day one.

i'm watching spike lee's remarkable documentary FOUR LITTLE GIRLS and as much as i want to focus on the film i can't help but think about the people, with real power and influence, who want to take this country back to before birmingham

Tomorrow, the Oversight Committee will have the opportunity to question Les Wexner about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Survivors told us from day one: follow the money. That is exactly what we intend to do.

Who was protecting Epstein and his network and why?

Where are my people who remember the black-and-white noir episode of moonlighting? Man, that was some good TV.

The horror stories rolling in from Minnesota are just the tip of the iceberg. This 20-year-old, who's lawfully present in the country, was arrested for being Latino, then jailed in a filthy cell where he couldn't even sit down. 18 days of illegal detention. democracyforward.org/wp-content/u...

BETTER YET, LET'S GET THROUGH THE FUCKING MIDTERMS HAPPENING *THIS YEAR* BEFORE WE EVEN BEGIN TO START HAND-WRINGING OR FINGER-POINTING ABOUT WHO WE'LL NEVER VOTE FOR IN 2028.

Winning elections is crucial this November, but it’s just the start. It’s about what we do with our power when we win that matters. Read my vision for the future of the Democratic Party.

THIS THIS THIS like SO MANY anti-capitalist screeds on the internet are things i would just straightforwardly agree with if they were oriented around "greed is or at least contains the seeds of sin" instead of around "i'm angry at mom and dad"

i think jesse jackson was one of the most important american political figures of the post-war era and i think that his 1984 and 1988 campaigns for the democratic nomination still have a great deal to teach about forging a path to a more egalitarian world. RIP.

Yep. In my youth, I experienced “Keep hope alive” as a punchline. It was years before I understood so much of who Rev. Jesse Jackson was.

What if we elevate cool shit people do instead of spending all of our time, energy, and attention on people we think suck?

Illinois has eliminated its bill backlog and debts. Illinois has enshrined reproductive rights. Illinois has reaffirmed labor rights. Illinois has rebuilt its infrastructure. Illinois has prioritized our children’s education. Illinois has invested in our future — with more to come.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

IT IS SENATOR MY BOO’S BIRTHDAY! Send birthday #BaeBucks to his campaign because he brought the cake to his own birthday 🥵 🎶 Is it your birthday boo cos you’re looking like a present 🎶 Chip in secure.actblue.com/donate/saves... Drop your fave 🍑ssoff pics and videos in the replies

In a rare letter to Republican senators, four descendants of Teddy Roosevelt oppose mining near Minnesota’s Boundary Waters.

You know what I love about Ossoff? His seriousness. His gravitas. That it always feels like he’s leveling with me. And he is not playing around.

A win! A federal judge has instructed the Interior Department to restore signage and video exhibits at George Washington’s former Philadelphia residence that explain his ownership of enslaved people.

Shout out to Bill Clinton. Beat the Reagan-Bush machine in 92. Been curb stomping Republicans ever since. They mad at him because he fights as dirty as they do & they can’t beat him or Hillary. They also mad that he created an economy that helped single childless women. Scared the shit out of them.

We have one chance at re-establishing any semblance of justice in this country to prevent two more years of punishment and chaos under the rapist and convicted felon in the Oval Office.

The Trump administration has formally denied Minnesota law enforcement access to information and evidence from the FBI investigation into the shooting death of Alex Pretti by federal agents on Jan. 24 in Minneapolis.

I really wish that people would stop grinding their axe on Dems for being imperfect right before what is possibly the last election we ever have. Nothing says "I am invested in fascism" like doing their work for them. We get the big tent doesnt make you feel centered. Thats a YOU problem tho.

A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.   This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.   Not one dime for this cruelty. www.cbsnews.com/amp/chicago/...

Who is this Jubilee “debate” format for? Does it accomplish anything productive? Where is some discussion? That’s what I want to see. I want to see a public forum for people who believe differently to interrogate each others’ beliefs, IN GOOD FAITH. With moderators to call logical fallacies.

I have been voting since I could vote. I think I missed one election and that was when I was super sick and wasn’t thinking. I’m over 40 so trust I stay in a booth.

He broke their brains, and they're never getting over America's first Black President, and why they're so hellbent on there never being a second. 1/ www.rawstory.com/tim-burchett...

Take a breath. Look around. Where are you right now? Where are your shoulders? Let them drop? Is your jaw tight or clenched? Give it a little rub. May you find some ease and rest in your day. I love you. I’m glad you’re here.☺️

Pancake Day tomorrow, so a busy day of getting the pancake tree out of the loft and festooning the living room with pancake cards and batter. What will Father Pancake bring you tonight?* *pancakes, probably

So, yeah, don't wait for ICE to make the first move. Get connected. Get talking. Have a block party or something. It would be worth it even if ICE never came to your town.

The Obamas are the epitome of sophistication, class, intelligence, grace, decency and love. I’m so desperately missing presence like this in the White House.

To protect the values we hold close, we need to take back control of the U.S. Senate. I have what it takes to get to work for Maine people on day one.

I am Graham Platner's age. I too was in the post 9/11 military. I also grew up in a small town in the Northeast US. I am also a college dropout with PTSD. And I am telling you: anyone from my demographic who had a Nazi tattoo for 15 years is either a Nazi or too dumb to be an effective US senator.

Honestly, yes.

The next Democratic President needs to make every speech they give into full tilt belt-tightening austerity rhetoric while at the same time continuing Biden-esque monetary policy, I guarantee you the voters are too stupid to notice.
