Elon Musk is about to become the first trillionaire. The reason poverty exists in the wealthiest country on earth isn't because we can't feed the poor — it's because we can't satisfy the rich. We should tax trillionaires out of existence.

listen I don't have any illusions about the United States military, what it does, or how many times this has happened before but the fact that they sat there for 41 minutes, watched two scared, human beings desperately struggling to stay alive, and then murdered them has fucked me up so deeply

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders. What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

For House Speaker Mike Johnson, the shutdown was the perfect scapegoat, and keeping it alive was the only way for Trump and the House GOP to avoid a vote on releasing the Epstein Files — a vote Trump was nearly certain to lose. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/it-w...

If Epstein’s claims are true, Trump lied about his involvement & knew about the abuse Bondi & Blanche, Trump’s former personal lawyers in DOJ, ignored their duties to the Constitution & victims This is corruption, plain & simple I broke it down on @weeknightmsnbc.bsky.social👇 - TN

Is the American Gestapo's message that it's better to bleed out on a horse than on the ground? And note to the semi-literates in the Trump administration: It's "lay" when you place something, "lie" when you recline on your own.

You only get one, health or food, which is it?

I think corporations who don’t pay a living wage should get taxed or penalized a comparative amount based on how many of their employees are on SNAP

Trump Org’s income in the first half of 2024 was $51 million. In the first half of 2025 it rose to $864 million. A massive percentage came from foreigners. It should be the biggest scandal in the history of American politics. But few even care. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

imagine any former president doing what this man has done and is doing where’s the humanity?

It really is staggering to see so many people willing to abandon our 249 year experiment in democracy for an increasingly unstable criminally convicted reality show charlatan.

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class. This is Kirk's legacy. You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. The system is broken.

I am so old that I remember when we had progressive tax rates, so richer people paid more than less wealthy people, and we called it “progressive taxation“ but NOBODY had a problem with rich people paying higher tax rates. It was COMMON SENSE.

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature

BREAKING: ICE has re-arrested Kilmar Abrego García, just days after a Tennessee judge rejected the government’s push to keep him locked up. Last week, Abrego García embraced his three children for the first time in 160 days. This is the cruelty Trump governs by.

IMPEACH PAM BONDI for failure to do her job.

Question for Mike Flood: With $450 million being allocated to Alligator Alcatraz, and ICE burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain people—How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the tax payers have to pay for a fascist country?

Our daughter who is opening a veterinary urgent care clinic to better serve Palmer Alaska just got hit with a tariff bill of $60,000 for new equipment! Foreign countries do not pay these tariffs! Trump is a fucking moron and those keeping him in power are too!! Defeat ALL Republicans!!

Al Gore didn’t hold back: The Trump admin is “attacking the heart of truth,” twisting facts like the Nazis did in the 1930s. From climate denial to rewriting the Ukraine war, it’s all about power—not reality. Gore warned the U.S. is under siege—and every former leader should speak out like he did.

Can you hit repost? Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat. My name is Shawn Harris.

Democratic leaders better pay attention. We want progressives.

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

Lots going on in the world right now but please don’t forget they’re going to try and jam one of the largest transfers of wealth from working families to the richest corporations through the Senate this week.

With the tragic assassination of a Minnesota Democratic leader, I’m going to underline this point again.

Elon threatening to just leave people on the ISS is making a pretty good case for why you nationalize your space program!

Never in my lifetime has the Democratic Party been as much as a ghost ship as it is today. Incredible there aren't more insurgent primary campaigns. Power is just sitting there and the only thing guarding it is fossils like Chuck Schumer

Yes!

Interesting thread. It made me think about how one longstanding problem for the Democratic Party since the 1980s has been its passive reliance on “the moral arc of the universe” to take us into a more just future…as if history was just naturally on “our side.” But moral arcs don’t bend themselves.

“Holy rusted metal, Batman!"

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.
