When oligarchs talk of “personal liberties and free markets” they mean their own liberties to become even richer and more powerful. When oligarchs speak of “freedom,” what they actually seek is freedom from accountability. Know the truth.

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security on 100% of their income. A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security on less than 1% of their income. Instead of raising the retirement age, we should scrap the Social Security tax cap.

Clips are going viral of the new $14M paint on the Reflecting Pool peeling off just 12 days after the pool reopened.

What did we get out of Trump's "little excursion" in Iran? Thousands killed. Skyrocketing oil and food prices. $100 billion spent while cutting healthcare and food stamps for people at home. A "deal" that leaves Iran's nuclear capabilities unresolved. Hello?

Trying to get back into photography.

Can somebody explain to me why the rule is "if you can't make rent, cut out the streaming apps, lattes, and avocado toasts" but it's never "if you can't afford your workers a living wage, cut out the mega-yachts, rockets, and spaceships."

Tesla & SpaceX have benefited from ~$40B in government subsidies. Tesla paid $0 in federal income taxes in 2025, despite $5.7B in income. SpaceX has paid little to nothing in taxes since it was founded. Now Elon is a trillionaire who has pumped over $300M into our elections. The vicious cycle.

JD Vance's "anti-fraud" task force has suspended funding for 43 legitimate hospice providers. Meanwhile, Trump continues to pardon actual fraudsters — including a nursing home executive who made $1.3B in fraudulent Medicare and Medicaid claims. "Tough on crime."

Sunday vibes.

This is Completely Unacceptable! You know what to do New Yorkers….

Here's an easter egg in the new Lego Batman that I think all of you will REALLY appreciate. It's so good, I had to make a video.

Can’t be repeated enough…

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

The Supreme Court's right-wing majority is nothing but a bunch of corrupt GOP partisan hacks. The next president must enact court reform.

'Heavy Weather'

That's it

Imagine the thrill of a lifetime in going all the way to the moon... And then coming back and being forced to meet with this piece of trash.

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

Spanish PM Pedro calls for the IMMEDIATE ARREST of Netanyahu He said: "Netanyahu launched the worst possible unjustified attack against Lebanon. His contempt for life and international law is intolerable. He is a criminal that must be arrested immediately.” #cdnpoli

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it. This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

AOC: Companies like Palantir are mining endlessly the data and privacy of the American people—keeping track of everything that they say and do. And sending it to a militarized government. 

SMS 2FA is the scraper killer. Every automated login flow dies when the site says “we just sent you a code.” I found a fix that’s almost embarrassingly simple. No Twilio. No webhooks. No cloud infra. Just a SQLite query. Thread 🧵

​​We gave Amazon a $17.5 BILLION tax break last year. Meta got $13.7 BILLION. Citigroup didn't pay a penny—we gave them a tax REFUND. Those tax breaks didn't do anything to create jobs, let alone save them. We have got to stop with the corporate tax giveaways.

Podemos en Europa Europa mira a EE.UU y critica su policía migratoria, pero lo que no sabe mucha gente es que Europa ya tiene su propia ICE

I don’t keep up with explosive technology, so learning about these new bombs is giving me the same feeling as learning about Hiroshima as a child. Deep, deep sadness that we are capable of such things. Both kinds of weapons killing so utterly that there’s nothing left to grieve.

This is a very favorable study design (the doctors wrote clean scenarios and recruited participants to play along). Real patients will mention irrelevant/distractor/somatic symptoms, and may use language related to conspiracy theories. Chatbots will tend to reinforce those. doi.org/10.1038/s415...

For those keeping score at home:

here's my entry!! #Comics4Liam

I know this is the wrong crowd for this but, I have an important test that I apply to new technologies that people think are going to fix everything. I ask "how does this help with the housing crisis?" Invariably (so far) it does not.

Valerie David and I were acting together in high school. She is the Pink Hulk and a three time cancer survivor. She is about to have a brain tumor removed. She is one of the best. All humor and heart. Please lend a hand and help a special human being get through her recovery. gofund.me/1d4078250

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

This can’t be repeated enough. Not only won’t they investigate, they may never even tell us who did this. Think about the message that sends to the next ones. Nobody is safe.
