Nothing more than perceived wealth that doesn’t exist for the purposes of taxes, but magically does for the purposes of leverage. Meanwhile, the rest of us pay real taxes on low wages and can’t leverage shit. The game is rigged. Tax the rich.

No judge. No jury. Just the Secretary of War.

MLK Jr. called her "The Mother of the Movement." Septima Poinsette Clark, educator & civil rights activist, died #OTD in 1987 at age 89. The Woman Who Schooled the #CivilRights Movement: ti.me/2HOZQ9s#OTD#CivilRights#history #blackhistory

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

Big announcement from Gov. Newsom:

Still in a state of shock trying to process the tragic loss of one of the most gifted men in the entertainment industry & his wife when the Embarrassment-in-Chief disgraces common human decency with this repulsive, deranged statement. #NoWords 🤮

Trump posted this without knowing Nick Reiner had been arrested. He posted it apparently assuming that one of his fans had murdered Rob Reiner. So if you want to know how Trump will react once his fans start murdering his enemies, now you know. He'll celebrate and blame his enemies.

On this day in 1926 a Polish Jewish girl was born. Living in France, on the 3 Aug 1942 she was deported from Pithiviers internment camp to Auschwitz where she was murdered. Her parents and sister were deported on the next transport. Her name was Esther Rudnicka @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social

They'll do this shit and then insist they're there to make us safer.

Mifepristone has been widely used in France since 1987 and in the US since 2000. It is a safe drug with an excellent track record. Don't let any Republican or an irresponsible journalist tell you otherwise.

As it turns out, the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun *isn’t* a good guy with a gun—it can be a good guy *without* a gun. Just another NRA lie.

There hasn’t been enough appreciation for how thoroughly BENNIE THOMPSON humiliated FBI official GLASHEEN after he tried to sell the lie that ANTIFA is the top domestic terror threat. The claim collapsed because it’s a cover. Check my latest… open.substack.com/pub/cwebbstu...

"Every lockdown drill is a confession of failure. Every barricaded classroom is an indictment. Every child taught to hide is proof that the adults in charge have surrendered."

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

The Washington Post, everyone

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

Start naming mass shootings after politicians who take money from the NRA.

On this day in 1925, a French Jewish girl was born. She was arrested with her grandfather and then on the 28 Oct 1943 to Auschwitz where they perished. Her parents and brother also perished in the Shoah. Her name was Rachel Steinschneider Support @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social

They overturned Roe They ended a program that provided birth control to low income women Trump is calling female reporters piggy & ugly The Head Start program can’t use the word woman or female They want to prevent us from getting loans without a man They want to control us.

Every state in the United States has a disgusting soda that only they know about and that’s kind of beautiful

The RFK, jr effect.

NPR: “Head Start early childhood programs are being told to remove a list of ~200 words and phrases from their funding applications or they could be denied— "accessible," "belong," "Black," "disability," "female," "minority," "trauma," "tribal" "women…” www.npr.org/2025/12/11/n...

We’re def going back to the “roaring 50s” with a nice measles outbreak. Nice work MAHA n stuff

The White House continues to make our work harder. They’ve: ✂️ Cut funding for transportation and education 👎 Effectively told families in poverty “you’re on your own” ❌ Presided over the longest government shutdown in history 🚨 Failed to act after Western Maryland was hit by a devastating storm.

A reminder! The government works for us!

Gallego: "This administration, since they started striking these boats illegally, has been very happy to show their snuff films . Now suddenly they're willing to show the first hit but not the second. Why? ... they're afraid the public is going to see the military killed 2 men that had surrendered."

Larry Ellison, the father of Paramount's CEO David Ellison, is funding Paramount's hostile bid for Warner Bros. Discovery. It gets worse. Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner is ALSO part of the bid. If Paramount wins the bid, Trump's family will directly profit. Disgusting.

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

NASHVILLE JUDGES request heightened security from @GovBillLee after Rep Andy Ogles posts their pics with the phrase “we are at war” A sitting congressman putting judges in danger. Pinocchiogles is going get people hurt. A disgrace to the office. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Whole of the American economy is now piracy.

“We are targeting Venezuela because of DRUGS, not OIL, which is why we are blowing up boats without any drugs and stealing a tanker full of oil.”

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

The EPA has removed references about humans causing climate change from its website. No US government website can be trusted for science information.

THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE SKIPPED A GANG OF EIGHT MEETING????!!!!

Justice Sotomayor: "You mean to suggest that the fact that one major donor to the current president, the most major donor to the president, got a very lucrative job immediately upon election from the new administration, does not give the appearance of quid pro quo?"
