Bruce will be back in D.C. on Oct. 3, as a special guest of the first-ever Power to the People Festival — joining Tom Morello to play a few songs with his band for another night of music and resistance.

“Americans should not have to wonder whether ICE enforcement priorities are being driven by the financial interests of politically connected detention contractors."

RIP poet Maya Angelou died this day 2014. “I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” “When someone shows you who they are believe them the first time.”

The Trump admin collected $166 billion in tariff payments before the Supreme Court struck them down. Refunds have already started hitting business' bank accounts - but they're not the ones who paid the fees. That would be American consumers who aren't seeing a dime. @alexsjacquez.bsky.social 👇

Forgot to mention Sonny Rollins' passing, a few days ago. Absolute jazz legend. Used to play his stuff on the radio 20+ years ago. Still spinning his LPs regularly at home (especially on the weekends). Many gems in his catalog but a great way to start is with Saxophone Colossus. Amazing album. RIP.

On November 3, 2026, no work, just vote!

I so agree with this in spades. If I were a journalist there, I would have done it years ago (ask my friends).

An AP investigation today details that ICE detainees are dying by suicide at an 'alarming' rate. When does this antihumanitarian nightmare end? This is utterly unacceptable in a sane & civil democracy. When are the courts going to end this madness. At least pause it and investigate this horror show.

@mark-carney.bsky.social “Israel killed nearly 100,000 people in about 1,000 days in Lebanon and Gaza with weapons supplied by 51 countries. That means Israel killed ~100 people every day for ~1,000 days with complete impunity.” M.Safa, UN Why is Canada still trading with Israel?

New York Democrats have introduced a bill to tax 100% of all funds any New Yorker receives from Trump's January 6th slush fund.

Zohran in office less than a year and the Knicks already in the finals for the first time since 1999 — but sure keep telling us Democratic Socialism can’t work🤷🏻

There was an effort a while ago to try to rename the Williamsburg Bridge after Rollins, in tribute to his period of practicing outdoors on the pedestrian walkway. Still a good idea!

ICE detention facilities are concentration camps with subhuman conditions. And somehow, the entire Dem caucus is not using its power and visibility to SHUT THAT SHIT DOWN! I cannot get my head around the silence and indifference of people who supposedly share my values.

This is something you will never hear on Fox, Newsmax or any other rightwing channel.

Now Congress has to remind us why a checks-and-balances system even exists in the first place. Do everything possible to prevent even a single taxpayer dollar from compensating lawless MAGA acolytes. Fight this tooth-and-nail. Do not fold. (2/2)

Cancer drug Revlimid is one of the bestselling pharmaceutical products of all time, with total sales of over $100 billion. It’s also extraordinarily expensive, costing nearly $1,000 for each pill, even though that pill costs just 25 cents to make. (Published May 2025)

To the Black liberals and "black capitalists" chasing the "black dollar" and all other kinds of liberal bullshit and stupidities, this brother right here, has a lot of really good questions for y'all? Exactly how, is this "black capitalism" supposed to work? How?!! www.tiktok.com/t/ZTBFjcJ25/

They didn't die while serving in the military, but they died protecting our freedoms from those who would destroy them, nonetheless. Remembering these heroes on this Memorial Day.

Thanks, Vonnegut. 💜

No one has hurt or betrayed or disrespected or disgraced the memory and sacrifice of our fallen troops as well as gold star families more than the treasonous draft dodging orange felon and his MAGA republican cult.

New — I talked with @katmabu.bsky.social the morning after a judge dismissed all charges against her and her co-defendants thanks to extreme government fuckery about what comes next, the crazy rumor mill and setting a precedent for telling ICE to fuck off. Our convo here:

Ground beef prices are up 20%, in part due to Trump’s tariffs and war on Iran. But there’s another reason your Memorial Day barbecue keeps getting more expensive: just 4 firms control 85% of the beef market. Minimal competition means maximized price gouging.

A San Antonio library created a “Read Like Wemby” campaign to highlight the NBA star’s love for reading. The goal is to inspire people of all ages, especially children, to read more. More from @mirinfader.bsky.social: www.nytimes.com/athletic/730...

Nixon: "I am not a crook." Trump: "I am a crook. So what."

The DOJ dropped misdemeanor charges against anti-ICE protesters, admitting it used improper tactics to secure the indictment. Kat Abughazaleh, one protester and former Democratic congressional candidate, said the administration's attempts to silence them are "not going to work.”

Jim Acosta just trashed Fox News personality Greg Gutfeld for gloating over a photo of the staff of Colbert Show - dozens of people. "You are celebrating the fact that all of these people are losing their jobs. All because your dear leader can’t take a joke. Seriously, wtf is wrong with you,"...

Sadly, every word is true. The American experiment is over. Killed in the middle of Fifth Avenue and no one in power blinked an eye to stop it.

Our governor rocks! #NewMexico

If every media company stood up Trump instead of setting and handling him a $16 million check like Paramount, they would win every single lawsuit. Donald Trump and his administration are blatantly violating the 1st Amendment by using the power of the executive branch to try and silence critics...

How did I only just discover that Don Jr is marrying the daughter of a prominent Epstein enabler? Her late dad, a banker, wrote Epstein a reference letter calling him "a gentleman of the highest integrity" to help get him tax breaks &… his island. Can’t make this stuff up.

How many linebackers & safeties are already dreaming about taking a shot at Jaxson Dart when he scrambles?? If he doesn't learn to slide, dude could get concussed out the league by Halloween.

Jaxson Dart says he admires Jalen Hurts & wants to be more like him. One way to start would be donating money & time to help public schools instead of supporting an open white supremecist.

Just a friendly reminder to FDT!
