The number of innocent lives lost around the world because of Lindsey Graham, one of the most bloodthirsty war hawks in Congress over the last few decades, is incalculable.

Guessing Trump was happy to have the war power taken away on this one. He had no way out of it; now he can be the victim and talk about how he was winning until weak congress stepped in.

France has joined Germany in cancelling their Palantir contracts, becoming the 2nd country in as many weeks to do so — the UK appears poised to follow suit AOC: “Immediately investigate Palantir — (Thiel’s) secretive data mining company that has weaponized information against immigrant communities”

When you see the story about how the world now has its first trillionaire, and when you see the story about how laboratories in Congo have run out of supplies to test for Ebola, it is important to understand that in many ways these are the same story.

Elon is officially the world's biggest loser. To lack so much in integrity and imagination that you would let yourself accumulate that much wealth without first using it to improve the only world that we have is just beyond pathetic.

If you over-regulate capitalism you get totalitarian communism. If you under-regulate capitalism you get a ruling caste of insane monopolists. Please ignore the fact that one of these things has never happened and the other keeps happening over and over

How can any normal person vote for these ghouls?

If I did this in a system design interview, I'd get laughed out of the building

See also: abortion, immigration, "wokeness", guns, etc. They don't honestly care about any of these things. They're all a screen to cover massive wealth redistribution.

What really pisses me off about the fight against climate change is we have the technology, it's only the willpower to invest in it that's lacking.Too many politicians, all around the world, are more interested in getting rich, now, than leaving a habitable planet for our children and grandchildren.

Get at it, Montana!

Every once in a while he tells the truth.

This would be the most important thing to happen in my lifetime

I desperately hope the likes of @warren.senate.gov and @aoc.bsky.social read @doctorow.pluralistic.net, and this one in particular

Oh so we're back to calling it "defense" now are we?

look at that you son of a bitch thats all we have. thats it. that's all there is, this impossibly delicate little egg in the endless black nothing. this water droplet. its our home, its where we all live and hating each other just makes no sense when its this precarious

Remember those huge protests during the Biden administration? No? Huh, it's almost as if things are consistently better for regular people when we keep the GOP out of power.

The writing is on the wall for many Republican politicians. No amount of voter suppression is going to save them. Their best bet would be to draw up articles of impeachment before the Dems do.

To any one feeling betrayed by Trump, don't listen to anyone trying to make you feel bad for past votes. The wealthy are manipulating all of us to further enrich themselves, and the blame game plays right into their hands. We need to stop caring about Democrat vs Republican, and fight oligarchy 🤝

Very sad that the switch to EVs is so often purely a financial discussion. Climate change is an existential crisis that we're failing to meet, day after day. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Grifters gonna grift

All the Markwaynes I know have been good, totally normal people

Nothing says inflation and oligarchy like a $250 bill

@warren.senate.gov what can Congress do about this?

More of this please

Isn't that the point of a primary? So that you can get the person that you want in the race? Walking away when your guy doesn't make it onto the ballot and letting the *worser* evil win is a terrible strategy for progress.

Have the rich all left New York yet? www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Every night I lie awake thinking about the state of the world and I wonder whether Tom Hanks kept in touch with the dog that played Hooch

Here's the thing. All of these atrocities aren't distractions from the Epstein files. But neither should we stop calling for release, because Republicans can brush aside war crimes, police brutality, and gross corruption. Their base likes these things. But no one comes away clean from pedophilia.

Apparently, when you're leaning to sew, you shouldn't make clothes for nuns. It's habit-forming.

Two years already...crazy to think about how far Sqyre has come

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin. When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Turns out "gunning for the Nobel Peace Prize" isn't how you win the Nobel Peace Prize 😆

Boycott Disney

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

I had the same *exact* thought when I saw the latest from that tool

We’re beyond thrilled to be part of the #FoundryVTT 2025 year in review, and to take a place among @foundryvtt.bsky.social official hosting partners. This incredible #ttrpg community has made our journey over the last year amazing, and we’re super excited for everything to come!

The way the brutally cynical GOP tactic of "we oppose everything the other side wants to deny them any kind of a win" has turned into "we are actually against curing and preventing disease, clear air and water, and a functioning economy and hope everyone dies."

This isn’t just another bill. It’s the Project 2025 playbook written into law. This bill abuses budget reconciliation rules to jam through non-budget items, like education authority rollbacks, environmental deregulation, and civil service purges.

Why is it that Republicans always stick to party line votes—or allow one or two token dissenters, when it's not enough to matter—but there are always Democrats willing to reach across the aisle and help pass right-wing bills? @booker.senate.gov you had a lot to say during your filibuster. Thoughts?

Republicans are scheduling votes in the DEAD OF NIGHT on Trump's "big, beautiful bill." They advanced their bill last night at 10:30PM. The next vote is scheduled for 1AM on Wednesday. Why hide? Maybe because this bill rips away health care from babies, new moms, and seniors.

I am embarrassed that I never considered this

Not calling for impeachment is telling people you believe he has not committed an impeachable offense.

Today, I’m reading into the congressional record 100 reports of corruption from Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office.

Things that have extended the average lifespan of working people: Unions Healthcare (through unions, Medicare and Medicaid) Universal public education Labor laws Environmental regulations Social Security If you seek to undermine all of these,what is your underlying objective?
