#TX Gov Abbott is in campaign mode and thinks speaking out against Big Tech looks good to some voters. It’s all meaningless, of course. Abbott, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and others have accepted staggering amounts of money from these people. #Texas #DataCenters www.houstonchronicle.com/opinion/lett...

FYI:

🧵 of videos... Krystal Ball is absolutely correct!

Unfortunately for him, in a world where the Epstein files exist (the business connections part)... It's hard to see anything that happened from 2006 to today as anything but a conspiracy or secret society... Trust is hard & broken across the board for the Elite.

What many saw marching to World Cup today in Houston. It’s part of crew has been on Dunlavy bridge over 59 each Friday, 3:30-5, & other days also.

To clarify: Ezra Klein (NYT, wrote Abundance, moderate) & Ezra Levin (co-founder of Indivisible, progressive, "face" of No Kings) are absolutely NOT the same person. Different people, different ideologies. I know most of you know this.. just making sure any lurkers have the mapping straight 🫠

Great Zine! Please share!

Community request! We need portta potties to support our community at our Queer 2 Stay "Pride is a protest"!

This is a reason why you can't run a country like a business! Society doesnt work that way!

Actually, they call him a Nazi because he repeatedly gave a Nazi salute on national TV, is trying to start a race war in Europe, and is partially responsible for 14 million deaths due to his interference in the U.S. government. For all that, no one wants him hurt, just indicted.

Pour one out for our socialist comrades... The capitalist have won again. They played dirty, and illegally, but they won. (Sigh) 🍺✊️

Happy Juneteenth! Today we celebrate that date in 1865 when America got one big step closer to fulfilling the ideal of liberty and justice for ALL. But we also acknowledge how far we still have to go, and reaffirm our committment to fighting for the full realization of that ideal ✊️💜

Today we are honoring and remembering a milestone for American freedom. See more in the comments ⬇️

It's Juneteenth. Take a walk back in time with us - to the sights and sounds of Texas in the 80's and 90's when Juneteenth officially became a state holiday, decades before it became a federal holiday.

“The investigation comes after a Houston Chronicle investigation raised concerns about Brown’s attendance records, supervision and job responsibilities while serving in a taxpayer-funded position within the mayor’s office.”

And for folks in Houston. Despite what I have seen from some outlets outside of Houston, we do not *currently* expect tropical storm force winds in Texas. It is possible that a few coastal spots gust to 30-40 mph later Wednesday or Thursday morning. But that’s it for now.

🔥 “You are a LIAR.” MUST-WATCH — @charlesmblow.bsky.social humiliates Hal Lambert on national TV, as he continues to peddle Trump’s voter fraud LIE 🤥 (now in California) while also admitting he has no proof.

It's the final countdown😰

Don’t you have the National Guard on speed dial???? This is a facility in NJ and you are the GOVERNOR!! Get the fire marshal, health department, department of taxation, etc., grab some soldiers and storm the place with a TANK???!!!!

Do not stop talking about Gaza. Every bomb dropped with our tax dollars is our business.

At this point, Trump could slap a journalist dead in the face and the corporate media would dumb it down to "tense," "contentious" or "controversial." Dude had what sure looked like a mental health break on camera. And I'm sick of journalists not clapping back when he calls them stupid.

WOW - Trump crashes out & cuts his interview w/ Welker short as she presses him on his lack of evidence for claiming elections are rigged "You're either crooked or you're stupid. I've had enough. Thank you darling," he tells her" "I traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview," she pleads

We look at a growing boycott against Citizens Bank amid a campaign to pressure the corporation to divest from financing CoreCivic and GEO Group, two of the nation’s largest private operators of ICE jails. https://www.democracynow.org/2026/6/1/citizens_bank_ice

The Pride Parade has been canceled. Thank you so much to everyone who planned on attending. We will pass along any updates we receive. Have a great weekend and Happy Pride!

Today, Pete Hegseth desecrated the memory of Americans and allies who gave their lives to fight fascism in WW2 — which he claimed was fought not for freedom, but to keep Europe white. Absolutely bullshit, but what can we expect from the ex-Fox guy who can’t keep up with basic fitness?

Taxpayers bleed between $132,000 and $197,000 every single day to fund the private cages at Delaney Hall. When public funds turn a profit for private prison corporations, human suffering becomes a highly lucrative business model. We break down the math behind this wealth-extraction machine. (1/10)

AI corpos are losing money, & the Anthropic CEO is growing a conscience... but its mostly theyre burning money hand over fist... Private Credit is out of money, & investors are trying pawn off to index funds. Their CEO isnt a Fascist, just a capitalist pig. Fuck 'em all! Tax the Wealthy!
