"When billionaires take control of communication platforms, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy." Robert Reich

California is currently weighing a ballot initiative that would institute a one-time wealth tax on billionaires living in the state. I think it’s a good idea. Watch what my friend Bernie Sanders had to say.

Let's start drawing this up now!

Looks like the SAVE Act is going to be DOA in the Senate. Next up, the MEGA Act. This one is even worse. www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

In early 2022, Maus gained national attention when a TN school board voted to remove it from 8th-grade curriculum as "inappropriate." The irony was not lost on many: banning a book about the dangers of authoritarianism and the systematic silencing of voices. library.nashville.gov/blog/2026/02...

Of course, it’s only a coincidence that they also want to require passports for voting. buff.ly/RbIN6i0

“I’ve never protested before - but I just watched 4th & 5th grade kids run away from our own government.” 😕🇺🇸💔 (From @crindivisible.bsky.social )

There they are. The words I've been struggling to find. Thank you, John Pavlovitz, for putting them together for me. Thank you for putting them out to world for everyone like me.

It is worth noting that Pam Bondi was Florida AG from 2011-2019 and didn’t bring any charges against Epstein. He was charged with sex trafficking in Florida (and New York) in July 2019…six months after she left office.

The House just passed the SAVE America Act, Trump’s election takeover bill. It forces states to hand over voter rolls to Kristi Noem’s DHS, the same agency running ICE raids in Minneapolis that killed two U.S. citizens last month.

We know our choices. What are yours?

NEGUSE: AG Bondi, that man works for you now, right? The man in that video from J6 yelling 'kill them!' at cops. His name is Jared Wise. BONDI: He does work for us, yes. I believe he was pardoned NEGUSE: And you expect hard-working police officers to believe you take law enforcement seriously?

Who didn't see this coming.

NEW: A page from Bondi's burn book. This is a list of the searches by Rep Jayapal of the unredacted Epstein files. That means the DOJ grabbed her search terms from the computers they set up for members of congress to view the Epstein files to use as ammunition. The photo is from Reuters.

McFleshman’s Brewing Co. will redesign the packaging for its El Guapo lager to remove an Air Wisconsin jet. CSI Aviation has federal contracts with ICE enforcement operations. The brewery will donate a portion of profits from El Guapo sales to the American Civil Liberties Union. postcrescent.com

A non-profit out of San Francisco, California, is cleaning up oil spills using the naturally adsorbent properties of human hair, woven into thick mats that soak up a gallon and a half at a time. We collect hair, fur, wool, cork… for oil spills and soils. matteroftrust.org

BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors

Separating a nursing mother from her baby means that baby may not eat at all. That is how babies starve. Detaining breastfeeding mothers was historically against ICE protocol. Those protections existed for a reason & the Trump administration removed them.

We would be fools to ignore the wisdom so freely offered by OMAS. These German grannies recognize MAGA. They speak from personal history about the rise, the fall, and the lasting effects of the disastrous fascist 3rd Reich. This message is for us, America. youtu.be/Y2dLcyGzrHw?...

Quoting the story from the Daily Express: "Official accounts show Epstein was found unresponsive a little after 6:30 am on August 10. After medics attempted to revive him, he was pronounced dead soon after, and his death was ruled a suicide by hanging." www.msn.com/en-us/news/n...

Donald Trump and Mike Johnson are spreading lies about voter fraud while floating fantasies about federal control of elections. I explain why these threats are meant to intimidate and why they will fail. youtu.be/6Yrgl6--ebo

I know it's supposed to be sarcasm but is it really?

If they can build them, they WILL use them. And when all the "illegals" are gone, who they use them for?

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

One of the main reasons people see things so differently is because they literally see different things. That baseline of understanding is a critical first step to have any chance of communicating effectively. ~Vanessa Otero

Congressional Republicans unveiled their new “MEGA Act” bill, which could: ❌Impose strict voter ID requirements to vote ❌Create a centralized voter surveillance system in every state ❌Ban universal mail voting ❌And much more The kicker? These changes would happen all at once.

Rep. Bryan Steil's MEGA Act would ban ranked-choice voting & universal mail-in ballots in federal elections, prohibit states from accepting mailed ballots that arrive after Election Day, enable large-scale voter purges, & institute photo ID requirements. www.commondreams.org/news/republi...?

So hard to choose! Or maybe not. ;)

Release the Epstein files. ALL the files. Now.

Introduced by Rep. Bryan Steil (R-Wisc.), the chair of the House Administration Committee, the proposal is called the Make Elections Great Again Act, or MEGA Act — a name deliberately echoing President Donald Trump’s campaign slogan. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
