Reminder that the devil wears a suit and tie and the biggest kind of theft in the United States is wage theft. #diadeltrabajador

FDR’s Fireside chat on March 9, 1937 explaining his proposal to expand the Supreme Court stands up surprisingly well. “We have reached the point as a nation where we must take action to save the Constitution from the Court and the Court from itself.”/1

[Congress...]offered moms access to full-time, high-quality care for young children, as well as summer and after-school care for older kids, all for less than the equivalent today of $10 per day. www.ms.now/opinion/trum...

When Pilate saw that he could not prevail, but rather that a tumult was beginning, he took water and washed his hands.

The Senate has voted unanimously for the Democratic proposal to reopen DHS and fully fund TSA without giving a single dollar to ICE.

When you think you're a liberator of your people and you're also sexually abusing women and girls from among those people you're demonstrating that you have trouble recognizing them as people. (And that is way too common.)

obviously this story wouldn't have been any less dark if this wasn't true, but I really wasn't prepared for one of the victims to have been Dolores Huerta

End the gerentocracy LFG!

If conservatives and demographers are so worried about the birthrate, it's time to a) give women whatever we want, b) seriously consider matriarchy, and c) celebrate and welcome immigrants... www.nytimes.com/2026/02/27/u...

The original ProPublica reporting on family separation will never ever leave me. I will hear a small boy crying for his papi for the rest of my life, and I will never forget that an insecure, bald man from Santa Monica with hate in his heart is responsible.

I want to know why we started learning somewhere down the line that a president is always a clown: always a john and never a hooker. Always a boss and never a worker, always a liar, always a thief and never caught.

Am sick of seeing headlines discussing "fallout." Pretty sure what you're trying to say is "accountability."

The Supreme Court:

The economy produced roughly the same number of jobs in Joe Biden’s last full month in office as it produced in Donald Trump’s first full year in office.

"The state represses, the law cheats, Taxes bleed the poor; No duties are imposed on the rich, The rights of the poor are empty words, We have languished long enough under domination, Equality wants other laws: 'No rights without duties,' it says 'Equals, there are no duties without rights.'”

So...the Wall Street Journal has started talking like this:

Social Security isn’t facing collapse—it’s facing a political choice. Today’s shortfall is tied to rising inequality and policy decisions after the Great Recession, not just demographics. Our Director of Stratification Economics @socio-steve.bsky.social explains:

New from me: A brief for @rooseveltinstitute.org on the logic of YIMBY policymaking and its applicability to other domains. What principles underlying the YIMBY agenda are transferrable to thinking about energy, healthcare, and other areas? Short 🧵 to follow. rooseveltinstitute.org/publications...

So...how many precincts in Minneapolis and Saint Paul could hold an election today? Go on, reassure me that we'll have free and fair elections in November. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

"A big reason Trumpworld is unapologetic about Good...is to warn Americans showing solidarity with immigrants that they do so at their personal peril." My brothers and sisters in Christ, this has ALWAYS been true. Solidarity will cost you, maybe even your life. newrepublic.com/article/2055...

All you fascists bound to lose.

"ICE is different. It needs to be abolished because the agency is rogue, and, more pointedly, because it’d be exceedingly difficult to design an agency like ICE that wouldn’t go rogue eventually." Strong @brianbeutler.bsky.social take. www.offmessage.net/p/abolish-ic...

"All of us, citizens and immigrants alike, are being ruled by people who think life is a privilege bestowed by authority, and death is a fair penalty for disobedience." www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/o...

One very tough scenario for the Fed: Labor force participation & prime-age EPOP are basically flat for the year, total EPOP down slightly But these depend a lot on stale population projections Labor market could be much tighter than hiring, wages & inflation suggest

And the two members giving her snaps are my fave fangirls.

When @cmlewisgeorgew4.bsky.social ran for DC Council, her opponent sent a mailer attacking her for her defund stance. I had never seen a better endorsement.

they’re abducting our neighbors and putting them in concentration camps and they’ll shoot you in the fucking face if you don’t cheer them on while they’re doing it.

Nope. Absolutely not. ICE shot a person exercising their right to observe ICE. #ICEKILLS

The nerdery is both staggering and laudable.

Anniversary of #FDR's 4 Freedoms speech and this feels really relevant: The fourth is freedom from fear – which...means a worldwide reduction of armaments to such a point ...[that] no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor – anywhere in the world.

As long as it feels threatening to Santa Monica's Millennial Goebbels, I'm happy to be out here married to a brown immigrant citizen, raising bilingual, mixed race kids with two passports.

Policía y la migra, la misma porqueria

George Retes is a U.S. citizen and Iraq war veteran. He was detained by ICE and held in solitary confinement for three days without explanation. George shared his story before Congress to make sure no American has to endure the same abuse he did.

I'll say what this excellent take won't: @nwslsoccer.com is fucking this one up. Michelle has done so much for the game. The league should let her take us to the next level. www.nytimes.com/athletic/687...

Or **and hear me out**, we could do the boring, normal thing where we tax rich people and fund public programs that help everyone. Infinitely preferable to outsourcing social policy to whichever billionaire feels whimsical this week.

Someone else here said it best - this is the gig economy gestapo

People over profits.

Housing + Private Equity = A recipe for profit over people. As urgency grows around housing and affordability, we peel back the curtain on an issue impacting hundreds of Detroit residents: housing as a digital investment asset. https://bit.ly/4o1ISIg

Tax the rich. That is all. www.firesidestacks.com/p/the-rich-d...

hmmm I wonder what big shift in civil rights happened to impact women of childbearing age in the last 8 years? What could it be?!
