The working class needs a Workers Party, not the Democratic Party.

In Minneapolis I saw a vision for an alternative American ethos, which is love and also the willingness to fight to protect that love. Niceness, not weakness. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/hate-has-t...

On stage last night, Kamala Harris admitted that she made mistakes. Yet she gave no indication that she knows what they might be. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/kamala-har...

Only a matter of time until a UC Berkeley law professor writes a memo justifying torture, a brave Vanity Fair writer gets tortured to say whether it hurts, and we have a national discussion about whether certain people should be tortured for our safety.

iCloud, Mega, and as a torrent. Archivists have uploaded the 60 Minutes episode Bari Weiss spiked.

CBS NEWS: “We can’t report on the current murdering spree until we get the serial killer’s side of the story.”

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

All of these bootlegged copies of the 60 Minutes segment flooding my feed (saying, ‘Watch it quick! Before it disappears!’) makes me feel like I’m in the Soviet Union and just got some black market foreign newspaper I need to hide under a floorboard in my house. This is where America is now

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion. Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits. This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

Leaked document. Yikes, things are about to get much worse. It looks like we’re on the verge of becoming a military state across the country. Step out of line, and the man come and take you away.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

I’m the first congressional candidate to be indicted under the second Trump administration. But if things keep going the way they are, I won’t be the last. That’s why I need to fight these charges with everything we’ve got. Help us do that here: katforillinois.com/legal

When I told a friend about this she said, “but that’s when I get all my deals…” My response… what will you do when there are no deals, no food, no jobs, no homes…?

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs. Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker. Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps. Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

The President of the United States is so upset about his failed campaign for a Nobel Prize that he's now trying to claim someone else's prize as his own. Pathetic.

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

Friends — Something happened this week. I don't know if you heard it, but I sure did. I believe that America's Sleeping Giant is beginning to awaken. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-sleeping-giant-is-awakening

This is fucking horrifying.

I feel very strongly that we must use the next three years to build a new opposition movement. I tried to lay out my reasons and what I think we need to do to make it happen. Please watch, comment, and share. youtu.be/_GUgnpAYMCc

The Brits get it. I wish the other half of America could admit what they elected.

If Costco has been analyzing, my purchases since January they will notice I’ve stopped buying American made products. No more Bounty, Cascade pods, Dawn detergent etc. I’ll buy stuff from anywhere except the USA. Retailers never talk about successful boycotts. stocks.apple.com/A9HbTX3p5SES...

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."

ICE continues to assault us. We are peacefully protesting. They are kidnapping and hurting us.

We’re protesting outside the Broadview ICE facility and an agent came out to tell us to go away. We said we’re exercising our First Amendment rights so he shot the ground with pepper balls and said, “Your First Amendment rights are on the sidewalk.”

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

BREAKING: Justice Gregory Carro has dismissed the first degree murder charge against Luigi Mangione in his state case, finding the DA put legally insufficient evidence before the grand jury. More TK.

A Black man and a homeless man were found hanging from trees in Mississippi yesterday, for those who haven’t seen yet because it’s barely made it out of local news.

If you're conversant in the lingua franca of the online right, you know the helicopter emojis the official White House account is using here are a reference to the Pinochet dictatorship's practice of flying people above the ocean and dropping them to disappear them. That's what they're threatening.

I really resent my tax dollars being spent on this

US military protesting the US backing of Israel’s genocide of Gaza and the Trump regime’s fascism: “Rise up America, it is time to take back this country from these corrupt politicians.” #3E

Summer 2025 temperature classification for the Contiguous U.S. Only 4.5% of the area is in some shade of blue (below normal); while 56.4% is in some share of red (above normal).

Raskin: "When private comments made by federal employees are scrutinized for anti-Trump bias and they can lose their jobs because of it, then we've entered the realm not just of Vladimir Putin but Joseph Stalin."

It’s corruption, plain and simple.

Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?"

Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."

Book grift. I think she's wrong on two accts: 1. It's the will of the majority of Americans to have Roe, and 2. It's not the courts job to "respect the choices of the American People" in the direct democratic sense she implies. It's to interpret and apply the US Constitution and Federal Law.

At least 10 gun industry businesses, including Glock, Smith & Wesson, Remington and Mossberg, secretly handed over names, addresses and other data to lobbyists, who used the details to rally firearm owners to elect pro-gun politicians. By @coreygjohnson.bsky.social (Published Oct. 2024)

I don't want him dead. I want that vile and evil perv locked up in his federal penitentiary cell for whatever's left of his disgusting life.

Microsoft says the terminations followed serious breaches amid claims that its software is used by Israeli army in Gaza.

Just in case you forgot…

As everyone knows, “True warfighters instilled with the warfighting ethos, however, know that a warfighting ethos is only at its warfighting ethos-iest when warfighters are fighting a war on boredom. And here among the embattled mulch beds of D.C., cousin, boredom is ah-boomin.”

Once again we subsidize companies making record profits, while we get less and pay more. Corporations pay no taxes, they use and abuse our resources, our infrastructure, and our people…bleeding it all dry. www.reddit.com/r/energy/s/0...
