I once had AI write a Valentine’s Day sonnet for my wife, which I sent to her by saying, “I had AI write you a shitty Valentine’s Day poem cuz you think Valentine’s Day is stupid.” She thought jt was hilarious. That’s the extent of writing I’ll use it for.

We can remember at least one time when the United States did take care of daycare; it was during a time of war. 🤔 #FDR

While Washington wages war on science, NASA just sent humans to the Moon's vicinity for the first time since 1972. Bravo #TeamNASA — proof that public science, when it's funded and trusted, still does extraordinary things.

what an amazing paragraph. the ruling class who have killed american manufacturing jobs the last 60 years for cheap overseas labor - so they could just get richer - and in their latest attempt to continue to win their class warfare with us using AI datacenters can't because of this...remarkable

The Trump administration does not care about working people. Exhibit # 4,985 ⬇️

Some things need to be repeated and the level of corruption happening in this administration sure as hell is one of them. So, @jasia.bsky.social and I wrote about the horrendous offshore wind for LNG deal the Trump admin pulled off with TotalEnergies... www.americanprogress.org/article/trad...

Neighborhood by neighborhood, nonviolent protests were successful in getting ICE agents out of Minneapolis and St. Paul. Feeling inspired to demand an end to the Trump administration's unjust actions? Join a #NoKings protest near you on Saturday, March 28.

Great 🧵👇The news is dire & getting worse, but TBH it's symptomatic of an approach to trade & the economy that never really worked for everyone (those who make a living from working, not capital) & everything (local & global sustainability). This is the time for fresh ideas for the rebuilding to come

You could also replace every integrated steel mill in the country with brand new clean iron and steelmaking capacity in the same exact spots, creating 10s of thousands of jobs in the short term and saving 10s of thousands of jobs for a generation... And still have quite a bit of $ left over!

Fantastic paper and a welcome dose of sanity during fraught times. Let's be honest - neoliberals are trying to salvage neoliberalism by dressing it up as competitiveness. But we're in a post-neoliberal world.

For decades, "competitiveness" has been a foundation of U.S. policymaking—a zero-sum race to dominate others. What if "beating China" isn't the point? What if the goal is… supporting American workers and protecting the environment? Our report, but first a 🧵 www.americanprogress.org/article/no-m...

This reckless war on Iran has raised energy prices like no other. It's outpacing even Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Gas prices up. Jobs down. Robots (and billionaires) happy. Ladies and gentleman, Trump 2.0.

“We all do better when we all do better.” This also means we all have something to pitch in.

Suzie Wiles needs some help thinking of ideas to lower gas prices. Any suggestions? How about: • Don't bomb Iran. • Restore fuel economy standards. • Offer rebates to people who want an EV but can't yet afford one.

We're going to have members of the U.S. Navy putting their lives at risk for... oil... from the middle east.

Chag Purim Sameach! Wishing our Jewish neighbors celebrating in NY-14 and beyond a festive and joyous Purim 🎉

Trump’s military force in Iran is not only unlawful—it’s reckless. CAP’s @andrewpmiller.bsky.social explains the consequences for the American people:

Need a pick me up? Take some time and watch this amazing event installing the amazing Roxanne Brown as the new President of USW.

Donald Trump is dragging the United States into a war the American people do not want. Let me be clear: I am opposed to a regime-change war in Iran, and our troops are being put in harm’s way for the sake of Trump’s war of choice. Read my full statement:

Strength.

Trump opens his #SOTU address by noting we are about to celebrate the nation’s 250th birthday. Sadly, he is governing the nation as a king, abusing the rule of law and destroying democracy. Cc: @americanprogress.bsky.social

We’re at Susan Collins’s offices all across Maine today to demand: not one dollar more for ICE. A pinky promise from Kristi Noem is not enough.

You could see it as a 1:1 relationship. Republicans clawed back 25% of the IRS funding in the the first showdown after Inflation Reduction Act passage. That could be the baseline: 25% of the ICE surge funding from OBBBA.

Today, President Trump’s withdrawal of the United States from the Paris Agreement becomes official. It’s a step backward for American leadership.

Never Again apparently means something different than what I thought it meant.

"His parents said their last conversation with their son was a couple days before his death. They talked about repairs he had done to the garage door of his home. The worker was a Latino man, and they said with all that was happening in Minneapolis he gave the man a $100 tip." 🥹

In 2022 we gave the IRS $80 bn. When Rs took the House they made rescinding that $$ the price of funding the govt. In each funding bill enacted since, large chunks of that were pared back Ds should do that for the ICE money from OBBBA. Paring back that $$ must be a prerequisite for funding the govt

Need something a little different than the current news? Then perhaps I can tempt you with a book that looks back at the last Administration’s efforts on climate, labor, clean energy, and manufacturing with an eye towards the future?

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

DHS says they have a “list” of around 1,400 people to round up in what they’re calling “Operation Catch of the Day” — a completely disgusting and inhumane name for their terror campaign in our state.

The Trump administration is putting Big Oil first once again with its plans to withdraw from the UNFCCC, the bedrock of all international climate cooperation—and Americans will pay the price.
