"We need a 5% wealth tax on America’s 938 billionaires. Over a ten-year period, this bill would raise much-needed $4.4tn for public coffers," writes @sanders.senate.gov. "Let’s choose democracy over oligarchy."

Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creators of South Park, are set to release a new spinoff series called South Bay, that will explore the culture of Silicon Valley.

Yay!

Well, you knew there wouldn’t be books

Ne ready to sue. And when we win back Congress, we must demand justice. Be ready. Prosecute every crime. Schumer may drink at the same though as the gop (donors) but many do not. Demand that people who are riteous and unbeholden to donors lead. And, put women in charge. Men have had enough time.

I love her so much.

Great reporting by @juneauindependent.bsky.social - Alaska was not included in the latest DOJ crime report, in part: "Some Alaska law enforcement agencies have not been reporting their data in the required NIBRS format, incl the Anchorage Police Department" www.juneauindependent.com/post/alaska-...

Why? Cause he is a king? Cause we need to give kings credibility? Even figurehead reality TV kings? Tracks.

They will be unrentable in a few years. AI is just that bad. It has wrecked preceding automated solutions, as anyone who tries to use it for spell and grammar check knows. We had better 10 years ago. Now it's full of fake words and lacks real ones. It is wrong about the most basic punctuation.

I submitted a 311 ticket for bike racks to be installed about a month ago and they were installed today! 🚲😀👍 #yycBike #Calgary

Also me: I can't donate it to any shelter or other non profit becit is upholstered.

Some mumbling idiot is slurring on national TV and now I think we all know who the April fool is.

This is Nessie and Millie. Neither of them ever really learned how to dig, but Millie is pretty sure it's like giving CPR. 12/10 no one tell her (TT: millieandazula)

Lol. Kinda true.

He cannot help himself.

More importantly, prosecute the crimes. Be ready with plans, step by step, to prosecute every financial crime, every perjury, every one. And be ready to repair the agencies and oust the bootlicker. Be merciless. Give no regard to those that disregarded us @warren.senate.gov Bring Out The Plans!

Hey. Just a thought tonight for the younger adults. Show your parents, both of them, that you love them. Spend time with them of you can make it work. I was a great mom and mynkids both adored me thru high school. They are now early 20s, and don't want to see me. They do want to see their dad.

“It feels like I’m meeting a historic moment both for so many families who might be affected by the executive order, but also for all Americans. This administration is really attacking a foundation stone of American life.”

Well, it is, for him. He plans to live in it, barricaded in, when his term ends.

GIFT “It is unconscionable that U.S. forces would knowingly put civilians at risk by leaving their bases and moving to hotels in the densely populated city centers,” said Brian Castner, a crisis researcher at Amnesty International, a human rights organization.”1/2 www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/u...

Kristi Noem claims she didn’t know. Seems hard to believe.

BREAKING: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the state’s version of the SAVE America Act, which would require voters to prove their citizenship status and remove student ID as an acceptable form of voter ID, into law. Voting rights groups immediately sued to block the measure.

It’s wild how rights start to feel like a membership—valid only if the people in power decide you qualify. That’s not rights, that’s permission. #Momsky #Pinks

Last month, I had two job offers in hand: one with a national news org writing about national politics and one centered on boosting local reporting. I wrote about why I chose the latter. pbump.net

This won't work. Because states mail the ballots and the USPS has no staff or software to compare the printed addresses with a digital list. In case you are worried about this. It's practically impossible, as well as illegal.

This car costs $8500. Not a typo. Less than 10 racks. And you don't have to put gas in it. But we can't have it in the US, because we'd rather have racism and argue about solved problems like birthright citizenship, and should Black people be allowed to vote. So you get Cybertrucks instead. Enjoy!

Live how quickly AI is imploding. It's nothing more than an attempt to win another stupid Portals War. AI is useless for pretty much everything and pretty much everyone.

This is victim blaming. The reason we can't mount an effective opposition is BILLIONAIRES. We do not tax them, but allow them to decide our elections. The People didn't choose that. The BILLIONAIRES did.

The President of the United States of America:

elegant, important pieces like this -- at WIRED -- show that the glory days of american magazine writing are not behind us: www.wired.com/story/opposi...

Breaking: The president has signed an executive order on mail voting. He has no lawful authority to write the rules that govern our elections. He tried a year ago; we sued him; we won. A year later, he has tried again. He can expect the same result. 1/2

Oh and the president might pull out of NATO tonight.... all I'm saying is this time we must defeat and subjegate fully the confederate forces

“When mayors in other cities ask me how #Copenhagen afforded to invest in its cycling networks, I ask them how on earth they have been able to afford highway projects. We invested in bike lanes because that was the cheapest option.” What the world can learn from Copenhagen’s cycling revolution.

Another Russian military blogger, Yuri Podolyaka, is speaking out about how ineffective Russia's military now is on the battlefield. These Z-bloggers are risking going to jail for speaking the truth.

Good news for the UK. Brexit was a foriegn interference op and a terrible idea. Now, EU must go after the continued fascist operations and operatives in other EU countries.

Putin will not win. At some point, when it gets bad enough for his oligarchs, they will end him.

Looks like Gorsuch isn't one of the justices he has kompromat on.

I want to make a video game that is so woke it makes grown men cry.

What a story this file tells - a significant tree of international money laundering w/ 'pump-n-dump' manipulation. Throw in a dab of Epstein, crypto, bitcoin, Kushner, Trump, Leon Black... Start reading Democracy Defenders. It appears our Gvt is behind it. open.substack.com/pub/politika...

RELEASE ALL THE EPSTEIN FILES

Got approached to sign a petition for a new ballot measure. I asked her who's paying for the campaign and she told me the name of her employer. I said "No, who hired them?". She didn't know. Nope. There's a lot of out-of-state dark money trying to influence your local politics. Ask questions.

I keep thinking about how unflappable Mayor Katie Wilson was at Friday's town hall on surveillance, even in the face of an extremely homogenous crowd of opponents. (I don't support police cameras either but the in-person crowd was not broadly representative of Seattle.)
