According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information. Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?

Article II of the Constitution does not grant the President of the United States inherent authority to declare whoever he wants to be part of a foreign terrorist organization and to execute them without any process.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years. Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income — so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class. The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

The U.S. is the only democracy in the world with: - Lifetime terms for high court judges - An electoral college for choosing an executive - A legislative chamber where legislative minorities routinely and permanently thwart legislative majorities - 75% requirements for constitutional amendments

Paul Dano was a good enough actor for Spiels to cast him as his own father. I’ll take that vote of confidence over the opinion of a ‘movie lover’ who has famously horrible taste... #TeamDano

Last night’s #TN07 results showed a few things: - Progressives can organize in red districts. - The way to fight back against partisan gerrymandering is to be better on policy and organize for fair maps where it is happening.

Somehow this is the worst part. Yet again I'd like to thank the publishing industry, Hollywood, and Yale Law School for ensuring this bigot's rise to prominence.

The coverage about British and American troops committing war crimes with impunity in Afghanistan has been non-existent in the mainstream press unlike the shooting last week. This is nothing but Islamophobia and the dehumanization of people in predominantly Muslim majority countries.

TN07 is a story about gerrymandering: the GOP cracked Nashville into 3 districts when it redrew the 2022 map, destroying the Dem seat there. Fast-forward: a section of Nashville, which just 5 years ago had a Dem representative, is now voting Dem by huge margins but it's been designed to not matter.

This is an ethnic cleansing campaign

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

The worst part about the boat strikes - regardless of who ordered what and besides the ultimate tragedy of lives lost - is they’re forever a stain on the professionalism and dignity of the United States military. They’re an insult to every American who ever sacrificed to do the right thing.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration. But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants. The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

Recently, I had the honor of partnering with Slow Roll Detroit to develop a custom shirt design for the holiday season. The shirts are available for a limited time only through Ink Detroit - snag one and support an incredible community of folks doing amazing stuff!

I’ve made the choice to start sharing what exactly it is I do in the world and how I help folks. Together with a dear friend - I run Theory + Practice - a creative agency on a mission to do good doing what we’re good at.

Energy transitions can happen faster than we think: In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels. In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.

RIP writer James Baldwin, died this day 1987. "I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain". “Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.”

hi hello i just lost the game and now so have you ✨💕

"True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.” —FDR, 1944

Multiple foreign-born spouses of U.S. citizens appeared for their final green card interviews at the local office of USCIS. In several cases, shortly before their interviews concluded, ICE agents entered, handcuffed them and placed them under arrest www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/u...

I find it fascinating that the entire world is essentially struggling with the same social problems and instead of giving people housing and resources we continue to elect leaders who guard those resources. Maybe time to change gears???

Something about the shooting yesterday doesn't feel right. It feels too convenient. A vetted Afgan national that was granted asylum, randomly shoots a National Guardsman near the WH for no reason right when the NG was set to leave DC because there was no violence. Now the NG is not leaving DC.

Vaguely defined terms are so often used to cover up some really horrible shit The way 'democracy' is used to refer to elections happening at all, but people act like they mean the actual will of the people being accomplished, not who wins between 2 genocidal ghouls in a fucken voting game

Let me tell you what the upshot is from the now-dropped Georgia January 6 case: A rich white man can with impunity plot to overthrow our government with 18 co-defendants—in a plot with a death toll—if a Black woman involved in the investigation had inadvisable sex. *That* is how racist America is.

Now, remind me again that non-Americans should mind their own business.

Shit like this should be treated the same way Holocaust denial is.

I’ve thought about this a lot and it is not my place to say but I’ve always found these words to be neutered by the “phobic” - hate is not a phobia. Phobia implies something that is out of a person’s control. Hate is evil and insidious and shouldn’t be watered down by mental health implications.

Endure and defy. Stand your ground. Hold the line. Persist. Never yield. Rise. Rebel. Repeat.

Houlahan points out that courts have found Trump has taken at least 150 unlawful actions since re-taking office, "so yes, those kinds of things are going on. Just because you are the president doesn't mean everything that comes out of your mouth is lawful."

"Quiet, piggy!" #DonaldTrump

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

Still think we’re not there yet?

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city. We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett just dropped receipts: ProPublica reports Kristi Noem secretly funneled hundreds of millions in DHS funds to a consulting firm tied to her own campaign. 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

Plaudits to whoever put this poster up next to the Park Road Tesco in Toxteth.

How *dare* you take this as a sign that Trump and Musk and Thiel are planning to steal state and national elections using AI tech

Do not buy Starbucks. The workers are on strike. If you can't give up Starbucks that shows what you are willing to give up.
