Americans’ personal savings rate has dropped to one of its lowest levels in 15 years. Household debt is at a record high. Millions of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, which aren't keeping up with inflation. Meanwhile, corporate profits are at a record high. The system is rigged.

Elon Musk's incitement of pogroms in Belfast reveals he'll use his immense wealth and influence to foment untold fascist violence in the future. Only a global movement can break his power. New piece from @polphilpod.bsky.social and me. Threading highlights below. 1/ newrepublic.com/article/2119...

The cops shot and killed a 1 year old over a package of diapers. Now they tear-gas the people protesting the murdering cops.

No lies detected.

Elon Musk’s DOGE cut the federal government’s screwworm monitoring program, which cost $15 million. Now, the Trump administration is preparing to spend $1 billion to combat the screwworm outbreak. Never forget how destructive and downright stupid DOGE was.

As someone who never read much DC... "Jezebel Jet" Yeesh! 😬 Sometimes I'm reminded of what the comics industry is like... Not all writers, of course, but way more than is comfortable. And as OP said, the editors really should have nixed this. dc.fandom.com/wiki/Jezebel...

Pres. Eisenhower warned Americans about the "military industrial complex" in his farewell speech in 1960. If you don't stand up to war profiteers, they roll over you as if you don't have a voice, a spine, or a vote. Their goal is to raise the price of oil and justify the military budget increase.

The immense economic power of the richest Americans allows them to wield immense political power, too. They can pour millions into our elections to elect politicians that will continue to rig the system in their favor. We must end this vicious cycle.

I'm not going to repeat what he said, but UFC fighter Hokit is a despicable piece of shit. The sponsors, Monster energy drink, Bud Lite, Dodge Ram, and Jose Cuervo have not said a word. I say boycott them.

Just checked with our team which is reviewing the indictment. As you'd expect (but obviously you want to be sure) it looks like yet another case of wild overcharging. Some chaotic protest moments that DOJ wants to make into a violent attack. Good luck getting this past a Minneapolis jury.

The people who were indicted on "Antifa" charges in Minnesota today are accused of participating in community rapid response networks like hundreds of thousands of other people around the country. Everyone up to @maddow.bsky.social has promoted these tactics. This concerns all of us. Resist.

If you break through to the other side of despair, it’s a place free of worry. It’s like accepting you’re already dead. Suddenly, there are no consequences, just manic passion. Since I’ve already lost, I’ve got nothing to lose. I’m a ghost haunting fascism.

The fact he managed to be stupider than both Bush Jr *and* Reagan would be impressive if it wasn't so damn depressing.

I'm getting really, *really* tired of predicting something, having people claim we are exaggerating, having the primary source finally admit exactly what they are doing... And then *still* people deny it.

Once again, America being shown how to protest by the rest of the world. We should be embarrassed that we struggle to amass like this for one day, let alone multiple.

Texans, vote for James Talarico for senate and Gina Hinojosa for governor!

Corporations spend more than $1.5 billion a year on union-busting. That’s $1.5 billion they could have spent on higher wages, better benefits, and improving workplace safety. Remember: if they weren’t so scared of worker power, they wouldn’t fight so hard against unions.

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

Gee... I wonder what fascists might want with a shit-ton of computers. On a *completely* unrelated note, check out this random Wikipedia article. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_and...

"Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'" -Isaac Asimov, 1980

"[Donald Trump used to be a Democrat, so really all of this is the DNC's fault.]" Jesus Christ, our fellow human beings are stupid as hell.

Are we understanding yet, that this is a global war of rich versus poor, authoritarian versus democracy. Dictatorship versus democracy. We the people of the world have to choose. Good over evil. It's time for us to take care of each other and make sure we're OK. That's democracy.

One of my favorite songs by one of my favorite musicians about one of my favorite actors. Here's to you, Mr. Jones. "You are loved, and you know, you will never be alone." youtu.be/XMHPWH4dUJ4?...

Reparations just aren’t feasible unless you’re a felon...

Goddamn I hate Ronald Reagan...

He might not be able to run, but his policy sure will! It's past time for the second reconstruction.

Unlike Reagan and every Republican president since.

The DOJ is reportedly considering dropping any audits of Trump, his family, or his businesses as part of a potential settlement of his bogus lawsuit against the IRS. That’s on top of the $10 billion in damages he wants. This is corruption on steroids — and taxpayers will pay the price.

America didn’t turn ugly because he became President. No. He became President because America was already this ugly. That’s the uncomfortable truth nobody wants to admit.

THE MORE YOU KNOW…💫

Those people are in a cult anyway you look at it..

Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft are all planning huge layoffs. Amazon got $17.5B in federal tax breaks last year. Jeff Bezos is worth $271B. Meta saved $13.7B in taxes. Mark Zuckerberg is worth $231B. Microsoft saved $12.5B last year. Its CEO is worth $1.3B. This is what a rigged economy looks like.

What do Levi’s, Hanes, and Chewy have in common? California AG Rob Bonta just revealed evidence alleging that Amazon used its power to pressure them, and countless other brands, to inflate prices of listings on rival online marketplaces as part of wide-ranging price-fixing scheme.

Douglas Adams said it best: “To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.”

What's weird to me is how often Russian interests seem to align with Israeli interests. I can't shake the feeling that there's a connection there that has not been covered.

Seven ships hit over 2 days in Persian Gulf & Straight of Hormuz. "The two most damaging attacks, apparently carried out by explosive-laden boats, hit the tankers Safesea Vishnu and Zefyros in Iraqi waters, killing at least one crew member and setting the vessels ablaze." nypost.com/2026/03/12/w...

The Gish Gallop whereby someone argues a cause by hurling as many different half-truths and no-truths into a very short space of time so that their opponent cannot hope to combat each point in real time.

U.S. to conduct ICBM test. “...operators aboard a US Navy E-6B Doomsday Plane will trigger the missile launch, sending it on a 4,200-mile flight from Vandenberg Space Force Base to the... Ronald Reagan Ballistic Missile Defense Test Site at Kwajalein Atoll...” thedefensepost.com/2026/03/03/u...

Absolute megalomaniac lunatic.

"The Peace President."

The call is coming from *inside* the house!

A new Super PAC, "Chicago Progressive Partnership," just jumped into #IL09, opposing Kat Abughazaleh. Filings show they’re using the same vendors as AIPAC.
