🚨BLACK FRIDAY ALERT🚨 Here’s where we WON’T be shopping from Black Friday to Cyber Monday this year and how to make sure billionaires feel it!

"The "We Ain't Buying It" boycott calls on consumers to shop at "small, local, or with businesses affirming our humanity" as they avoid Home Depot stores."

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

Seizing defeat from the jaws of victory. Visionless worms.

How do so many democrats still not understand that the ACA *was* the compromise.

Reflection: Thank you, Michael “D’Angelo” Archer baltimorebeat.com/reflection-t...

I knew the punditry would be embarrassing today but my goodness. It's way worse than I expected.

Have just realized that the silly “Bezos wants to buy Vogue as a lavish wedding gift for his bride” story that’s been circulating is inaccurate - Bezos wants to buy Condé Nast which owns The New Yorker,Teen Vogue, Wired & Arts Technica because he is an oligarch who wants to crush all dissent.

The lesson from the past 6 months is to do stuff in your communities with your neighbors and plug in where you can.

Keep reminding folks of this.

Donald Trump is attacking me because he is desperate to distract from his war on working people. We must and we will fight back.

people come up with all kinds of fanciful math to justify billionaires' wealth but imo present political moment demonstrates conclusively that we need to tax billionaires at whatever rate will keep them focused on their own fucking business rather than our Medicaid and pediatric cancer research

AOC: "On this point of tax on tips, as one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I want to tell you a little bit about the scam ... the cap on that is $25,000 while you're jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 across the US ... while kicking them off the ACA."

These people are Nazis. I know that's well-understood by many people at this point, but not enough. They are Nazis and we need to keep saying it.

Republicans are desperate to extend tax cuts for billionaires — but they just voted to DENY extending ACA tax credits for middle class Americans. 4.2 million people will lose health care if those tax credits expire, but Senate Republicans just don’t care. Shameful.

“Trump is using military forces to stop a protest — I want y'all to consider what kind of government it appears to be when every time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the military is deployed against us.” Doechii at the #BETAwards

Take every which way to support folks on the ground and in the literal waves. We are the waves. The front of our waves are cresting and every single drop of us is needed to push and break through, from the back to the front. All of us. Action.

"Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' Is Outright Class Warfare" For Zeteo, @graceblakeley.substack.com says the Republicans' ‘tax cut for the middle class' is just a brazen - and historic - giveaway to the ultra-rich and multinational corporations, paid for by working people.

thank you

We made a class war reading list for you.

As authoritarian forces try to separate our communities, we must act to defend each other, knowing that our fights — and our collective survival — are intertwined. truthout.org/articles/saf...

"In an earlier post, she wrote: "As for the inevitable death, if I die, I want a loud death, I don't want me in a breaking news story, nor in a number with a group, I want a death that is heard by the world, a trace that lasts forever, and immortal images that neither time nor place can bury."

This.

nice recap of yesterday

NEW — After putting all Institute of Museum & Library Services (IMLS) employees on administrative leave Monday, I'm told DOGE is canceling congressionally-appropriated grants to state libraries across the entire country. Libraries are getting notice that funding was canceled as of 4/1. More here:

SCOOP: The Trump admin appears to be going into a visa database to quietly change students' immigration status. It's coming entirely by surprise — setting students up to be detained without warning. It's Mahmoud Khalil & Rumeysa Ozturk — on a wider scale.

“Those writers plying their craft near to or far from the throne of raw power, of military power, of empire building and countinghouses, writers who construct meaning in the face of chaos must be nurtured, protected.” inthesetimes.com/article/toni...

They are arresting people on the streets, terminating their visas, and disappearing them for writing things they disagree with. This is where we are. Two months in. Right now. If you think they won’t begin coming after citizens soon, you are mistaken.

This. Jeff is, as he usually is, right.

Must read: Mahmoud Khalil speaks out for the first time since his arrest by the Trump administration in an exclusive letter, dictated over the phone to his family, from ICE detention in Louisiana.

USDA’s decision to cut $1 billion worth of food aid is causing layoffs and shortfalls, all as hunger continues to climb.

A 2024 GAO report found the IRS netted a savings of $13,000 for every additional hour spent auditing wealthy individuals’ tax returns. Watch reporter @andykroll.bsky.social break down how DOGE cuts to the IRS could cost more than DOGE will ever save ⤵️ 📽️: @josesepulveda.bsky.social

Trans people and immigrants were first. Y'all just didn't care, just like the poem.

Any Senate Democrat who votes for cloture should have to spend time at schools across D.C. answering questions about why they care so little about the lives of D.C. residents.

I've been quiet lately for... a lot of reasons. But honestly: Fuck all this shit. Gloves off. Cowards to the back.
