@mls.bsky.social should build what no league has: Bundesliga’s pro/rel + fan-owned clubs, plus the cap MLS already has that stops Bayern-style monopolies. MLS & USL together — real pyramid, real stakes, parity intact. I might just start watching MLS instead of Premier League. 😝 #football ⚽️

Genius Machine says: 1. Universal Basic Income 2. Universal Basic Services 3. Land Value Tax 4. Annually rising Carbon Tax 5. Proportional representation via ranked choice voting and multi-winner districts 6. Publicly-funded elections 7. Nonpartisan primaries 8. 4-day 32-hr weeks *unplugs machine*

Jack Smith: "I think we are facing an attack on the rule of law that is different in kind and scope to anything I've seen in my lifetime"

“I think we are seeing a hunger that is not just felt by New Yorkers, but frankly by Americans from coast to coast, for a new kind of politics, one that puts working people at the heart of it.” —Mayor Zohran Mamdani

I’m not going to hail Barrett and Roberts for allowing us to count our votes. It’s a huge win for democracy, but it shouldn’t have even been a question. That we were one vote away from disenfranchising votes is all the more reason to expand the court in 2029.

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs. A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which was gutted last year. If Bezos can spend $500M on a yacht, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

Starbucks workers have just won their 700th union. Since 2021 @sbworkersunited.org has conducted a massive unionization effort. They now represent 700 Starbucks stores and over 15,000 workers. www.nlrbedge.com/p/starbucks-...

I don’t say this often these days, but Congress actually passed something good. My bipartisan housing bill to build more housing, lower costs, and stop private equity's housing grab is becoming law.

We have a new message for Democrats: attack attack attack. Trump is corrupt, he’s butchered the economy, and his DOJ operates like mob lawyers. And every voter knows it. So stop looking backward. Stop with the endless focus groups. This isn't complicated. He’s weak. Finish him.

"The most important thing that guaranteed income did was make it possible for me to keep my promises to her. It’s hard when an unexpected emergency happens, and suddenly you don’t have the money to do something you’ve been telling your child you’ll do together." UBI works. Happy Fathers Day.

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. The seventh richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

The 500 richest people on the globe added $336 billion to their fortunes on Monday, bringing their collective net worth to a record $13.3 trillion. Read that back. Our problem isn’t an issue of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding wealth inequality.

Hawaii just enacted a law that effectively neuters Citizens United. Montana could soon follow suit via a ballot referendum. Here's what you should know about the plans to get Big Money out of politics — and how they could be replicated where you live.

If Elon Musk paid my ultra-millionaire tax, we could fully cover free community college in America.

Rebecca: "Chaps, Alexi left us" Zlatan: "Who? Rebecca: "Alexi will be back, Alexi will be back with us very soon" Thierry: "Your plan worked, Rebecca" Rebecca: "Don't you bring me into this, no chance" Zlatan: "America, you're welcome" lmaooooooooooooooooo

😇😇😇

When we win, the first bill I’m filing is a comprehensive anti-corruption package: Overturn Citizens United Ban corporate PACs and super PACs Ban members of Congress from trading stocks Once we defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this entire corrupt system.

"The mere existence of trillionaires is a major political and economic problem, probably the defining issue of our time," writes @gabrielzucman.bsky.social. "When the power of wealth is wielded by sociopaths, the consequences are a matter of life and death."

Fox has reached an agreement to acquire Roku for $22 billion, after already buying Tubi for $440 million in 2020. This marks the latest case of media consolidation in an industry controlled by a smaller and smaller number of huge corporations.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere. It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

Teachers’ paychecks have never fully reflected their passion or professionalism—but as the cost-of-living crisis persists, educators can’t afford even the basic necessities. Read my op-ed on why we must raise teacher pay, strengthen collective bargaining, and fund schools. time.com/article/2026...

Todd Blanche cannot be Attorney General. The Senate must oppose his nomination. If you’re with me on this, please contact your senator’s office and tell them to vote NO on confirming Blanche. The Senate switchboard is (202) 224-3121.

"The closer you look at the SpaceX IPO, the more it looks like Musk’s ill-fated Doge," writes @rbreich.bsky.social. "All of it is arbitrary – based on the hype and will of one man with a giant ego and an insatiable thirst for money and power."

Trillionaires shouldn't exist while poverty exists. Or as Paine wrote, "I care not how affluent some may be, provided that none be miserable in consequence of it. But it is impossible to enjoy affluence with the felicity it is capable of being enjoyed, while so much misery is mingled in the scene."

Protecting kids and trusting older students with honest, age-appropriate literature are not opposing goals, and a removal system driven by a handful of individuals within a handful of districts deserves a closer look.

Hawaii just passed the first state law in the country banning corporations from making political donations in state elections. Now a Koch-backed legal group is suing to overturn it. Big Money won't get out of our politics without a fight — one that we the people must win. (via @levernews.com)

In January, Zohran Mamdani took action against bankrupt landlord Pinnacle, which was responsible for over 5,000 housing violations. Thanks to his intervention, Pinnacle's new owners have forgiven millions in tenants' back rent. This is what governing for the people looks like.

What's this tell us? Bluesky is a far healthier and more effective platform for engaging and organizing your supporters online than X and Threads. By a lot. No algorithm suppressing left politics. No billionaire influence. Good content reaching the right people.

I believe I ran the first Bluesky-first congressional campaign in the country. Some folks thought I was nuts. But it was absolutely the best move. Bluesky has better fundraising metrics and engagement for candidates, and the site isn’t overrun with Nazis. Take note. youtu.be/XOfkMBMpw3s?...

Unconditional basic income is the power to say NO

Kevin O'Leary said he considered Stuart Adams, Spencer Cox and Mike Schultz his "partners" on the Stratos data center project and that he's "not happy" with the demand to shrink it.

We’re in court today fighting President Trump’s executive order attacking mail-in voting that would upend our elections.  We won’t let him interfere with an essential, accessible voting option that millions of people rely on.

We had a great time on the overpass yesterday. Utah made it VERY clear they don't want Mr. Terrible Kevin O'Leary's poisonous data center in Utah. #blueresisters #USProtests

Yesterday, a Republican candidate for Maine governor shared how he plans to rank his competitors on his ranked choice voting ballot. With #RankedChoiceVoting, candidates are encouraged to show common ground – not just attack one another.

My reply to @rbreich.bsky.social's Office Hours substack today that includes a poll with UBI as an option. substack.com/@scottsanten...

Here are the Top 10 issues you called about in MAY and the Top 10 states (per capita) making those calls. Keep it up, team! 😎📞💪 (Reminder that these are *only* the calls made and logged into the 5 Calls website and mobile apps)

“Congress wants to lock in Daylight Saving Time. But the evidence-based solution is permanent Standard Time.”

President of MIT not mincing words today in @statnews.com www.statnews.com/2026/05/27/s...

Massachusetts is now the first state to certify a rideshare driver union after granting Lyft and Uber drivers' collective bargaining rights. This is the largest new private-sector union in over 85 years. 70,000 workers are now represented by the App Drivers Union.

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.

Hawaii just passed a groundbreaking law directly challenging Citizens United and corporate money in politics 👀

The implosion of the GOP is only beginning. And it will accelerate. But we can't just sit by and idly watch. We need to keep pushing for accountability—and ultimately for impeachment and removal of the president and his cabinet (of which the vice president is a member).

American taxpayers are being robbed by a criminal who would make Al Capone blush

Call and write your Congress members directly today and tell them to amend permanent Daylight Saving Time back out of the Motor Vehicle Modernization Act, or use this form to send a pre-written message. Thank you! www.votervoice.net/ditchDST/Cam...

The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (and over a hundred more nonprofits) urge that permanent Daylight Saving Time is worse than clock switching, permanent Standard Time is naturally best for circadian rhythms and sleep health. #DitchDST aasm.org/sleep-expert...

ICYMI, the Utah State Legislature will conduct a study on the environmental impacts of data centers: www.fox13now.com/news/politic... #utpol #Utah

Tonight we congratulate our friend Stephen Colbert and his writers, staff and crew for eleven years of excellence. Watch Colbert’s finale tonight, and then never watch CBS again.

Ranked choice voting came to San Francisco in 2004, and is now used in 7 California cities. It has delivered better representation, better campaigns, and savings for taxpayers. Our new report looks at how RCV is working in the Golden State. Here are some highlights. 🧵

A new Lake Research Partners poll used ranked choice voting to gauge support of 13 potential candidates for the 2028 Democratic presidential primary: 🗳️ Kamala Harris & Gavin Newsom lead an RCV simulation 🔢 63% support using RCV for presidential primaries ✅ 84% say ranking is easy Learn more ⬇️

ICYMI: Hawaii became the first in the nation to reduce the influence of corporations and dark money groups trying to shape the state's elections.
