I’m supposed to believe both that trained and paid journalists couldn’t see through Project 2025 spin but also they’re the people best positioned to tell me what’s happening and how I should feel. Why? They failed at their jobs by their own admission.

Mamdani’s controversial stance is the he believes an arrest warrant by the ICC needs to be respected regardless of the accused. Those who disagree believe that international law must never be applied to the people they like. It really is that simple.

While the government is shut down and many are fearful of the economic uncertainty, at least we know what the administration's priorities are! 🙄🙄

I'll think the Green Party is a real thing, when they make Ranked Voting a top priority, and they stop letting Stein show up every four years like some sort of presidential Spirit Halloween.

the trump regime ousted someone for not allowing the regime leader to give away a national museum piece as a "present"

People worry way too much about laziness as a result of universal basic income and not enough about all the amazing and infinitely creative work that isn't getting done so long as UBI doesn't exist. WALL-E is not our future. Our future is cat subways. Bring on the cat subways! LFG!!

Is the media going to start calling it tyranny yet?

Reason number 834749343354356789845 for #Universality. Basic Income. Healthcare. Education. Forcing people into wage work to access healthcare is immoral and unethical.

Telehealth & remote work were accommodations disabled people spent years fighting for We were told it “wasn’t possible” When Covid hit and accommodations were necessary to protect the non disabled? They were in place overnight Now they’re taking them away from those who need them most Eugenics

One of the truly great human beings of our time.

@governorferguson.bsky.social could have taxed the wealth hoarders of WA state to cover budget shortfalls. Instead his DoR passed an expanded sales tax requirement that hits small businesses providing "live education or services" - a *10.5%* increase in registration costs.

ART, and our ability to create and recognize IMAGERY is a key definition of being human. NOT our ability to produce. NOT our ability to consume. NOT our wealth. ART.

Let’s be clear: Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans forced a government shutdown tonight. Rather than address the health care crisis that they created just earlier this year, they refuse to come to the table and do their jobs. What happened to the art of the deal?

reason for Basic Income number 986547686658

don’t just shut down the government. replace it completely. erase the existing government. perform a clean install of the government. run periodic scheduled scans of the government for any dumb motherfuckers and remove them immediately.

Democrats have leverage — and they need to use it to fight back against this regime. Any Democratic senator who votes for a continuing resolution offered by Republicans will effectively be green-lighting the cruel policies passed in Trump's big, ugly bill. Do not cave in.

This. If even *HALF* of those commanders used their voices, it would *matter*.

the idea that every military enlistment is made through love of country is a deeply flawed one People join for the the violence of it or for financial security or the GI Bill or because of family expectations or for the bias inherent in having "enemies" or because they believe the idea of service

Not JUST universal, unconditional Basic Income. They need FULL Universality: HEALTH CARE that is uncoupled from employment and EDUCATION that isn't a debt trap.

36% of eligible voters didn't even vote in 2024. MORE PEOPLE didn't vote, than voted for Trump or Harris. And many of them didn't vote because of the Electoral College- they didn't feel like their vote mattered. The EC is an outdated, racist, classist institution that harms our country.

Yup. And the 2nd Amendment ammosexuals are completely silent.

WHAT WE NEED is a 'media' org who's job it is to translate scientific information into news the layperson can understand... WITHOUT drama and clickbait, and WITH consulting actual experts. @altcdc.altgov.info? Anyone in the altgov realm?

*fist pump* YES! Protesting GENOCIDE is not a crime!

This is your semi-regular reminder that "crossed the border without the appropriate paperwork" is the same level of civil offense as parking in a disabled space without a tag, or getting a speeding ticket in a school zone. That's what masked thugs are grabbing people for.

I just saw someone say that they couldn't support and unconditional, universal #BasicIncome because it would lend strength to the tradwife movement. Because it would "encourage" theoextremist men to force their wives to stay at home, barefoot and pregnant. My siblings in Universality... no.

Trump just called us "the enemy within" Those are LITERALLY the words Adolf Hitler used to describe Jews in Nazi Germany. Literally the same words.

He LITERALLY just said that the USA will do war crimes whenever they want. But can't vote for Kamala because something something Gaza. How's that going for Gaza then, hmm?

There is NO TRUE REASON for a wealthy, technologically advanced country to NOT have Unconditional, Universal Basic Income Education Healthcare. None. No, not even your tired old TNSTAAFL argument. None. We HAVE all the resources, we CHOOSE not to use them that way.

Jesus Aitch Christos on a Pogo Stick.

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

Tangenting off a comment I made elsewhere... We're evolved tool using creatures with large brains capable of creativity and problem solving. It's our fucking *JOB* to make less suffering in the world, or what are we even using our brains *FOR*? Wealth hoarding? Fuck that shit.

We should be looking for the missing Alligator Auschwitz detainees at Fort Bliss in Montana. Why is not one allowed to do an audit of who is actually there?

@pkryan.bsky.social nails it: voters don’t care about outdated labels — they care about results. Lower health care costs, affordable housing, food on the table. That’s exactly why outsider @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's campaign has inspired so much energy and hope.

Yes, Biden should have released the Epstein files.

Dems are so desperate to be seen as "reasonable" and "bipartisian" that they're willing to let the regime walk all over them.

the trump regime hates disabled people.

bragging about how much gold you’re putting in the oval office while all the economic lights on the dashboard are starting to flash red and the government is about to shut down is some shit that would make the marie antoinette caricature wince

Private philanthropy and charities can only go so far This Canadian tech entrepreneur is calling for a fairer tax system where the very wealthiest invest more to reduce inequality

Their whole point is to smash up functioning government and use the spoils to terrorize everyone, while installing a state based on mafia-style patronage. Don't give them more tools. Don't fund the terror.

Stop acting like the Republicans are anyone you want to be working with, that they have any ideas worth supporting, and DO SOMETHING.

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

Nothin' but white extremism...

The #GestapICE are army-costumed clowns.

I gave a talk earlier this year summarizing more than a decade of research into online rumors, where we (quite unintentionally) documented how the right wing bullshit machine became so powerful: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjiG...

MY GRANDPARENTS did not lose friends and family in Europe fighting fascism so that some white supremacist narcissistic asshole could declare being anti-fascism "domestic terrorism". The true domestic terrorists are Christian White Nationalist Extremists.

They do not have enough popular support. So they are trying to outlaw / silence opposition. And that’s where we are. Pushing back has never mattered more.
