The People must not yield to the fear of failure when they have not yet dared to try. Nihilism is not sensible logic, it is a profound lack of imagination. The battle is not Left vs Right: it's Top vs Bottom, 1% vs The people. Separation is the greatest illusion of this world. Don't be fooled.

When the pathological narcissist sees their inevitable doom at their doorstep, they will burn the world down just to pass the time.

And the result is even more people saw the interview on YouTube because Trump is scared Democrats are going to flip the seat. Over a million and counting so far. (it was 3/4 a million a little while ago!)

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

AI is poorly understood: its usefulness is specific, but companies are selling AI like a magic bullet for all problems. Fundamentally, LLMs are statistical correlation on steroids, ultimately incapable of true understanding, creativity, and general intelligence. Still, great harm exists.

The horrific and continued abuse of power by the Epstein class must be ended. Now. Trump and his enablers are 100% guilty of the crimes and the cover up. The horrors the survivors endured and continue to endure should fill us with the utmost rage. Believe the survivors. Act. NOW.

Believe the survivors. They have been telling us who is in the files for nearly 20 years. It really is that simple.

This is the FBI’s list of “Prominent Names” it was tracking in the Epstein Case. This list appears in this slide show, FBI email correspondence, and FBI tip sheets — all of which I saw unredacted today. Believe the survivors. You can see this file on DOJ’s website www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

Christianity and political power have been entangled for centuries. The current entanglement in the US is unique because the American experiment was founded on (at least at face value) an attempt to separate Government and The Church.

This Administration is robbing our country of its humanity.   Yesterday, we heard from the brothers of Renee Nicole Good, Marimar Martinez, Aliya Rahman, & Daniel Rascon, who were shot, brutalized, and detained by ICE and DHS. These are not isolated incidents. This is Administration policy.

Jeff Bezos took over the Washington Post Editorial Board and turned it into a mouthpiece for pro-corporate, pro-billionaire propaganda. Now, WaPo is laying off hundreds of *real* journalists — including the reporter covering Amazon. Democracy dies in billionaire hands.

If "nationalizing elections" is not the clearest sign of Trump's authoritarian agenda, I do not know what is. How "state's rights" Republicans can continue to support this lunacy is beyond understanding. What does Trump mean Republicans should ‘nationalize’ elections? www.npr.org/2026/02/03/n...

Placing a layer of algorithmic recommendation on speech does not make speech less free, but it does pervert it. Algorithmic mediation turns speech into a resource extracted from human behavior. Platforms do not value speech because it is protected, they value the service it provides them.

Things DOJ & the FBI did this week: -Threatened continued violence in MN if voting files not handed over -Raided a GA election office for voting files -Lost a suit in OR trying to access voter files Things they did not do: -RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES. See the pattern here?

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

The right uses the fear of Others to shift real and perceived grievances of their base from the root causes of those problems (economic inequality, mainly) to a "clean" Us vs. Them Scapegoating. Nazis did the same with Jewish and gay folks. Authoritarians cannot rule without dividing the people

Everything Trump is doing now (from from Portland to Minneapolis to Chicago) is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act. I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but I've been warning for months of this imminent danger. Let me explain what’s going on.

In case it wasn't fucking obvious... This is it, this is Fascism. It's not a potential looming threat. Fascism is in our streets, in our neighborhoods, in the Oval Office. Resistance is vital, but how we resist matters. Give them no pretext for further unlawful escalation.

Authoritarianism 102: Create Crises, Distract, Provoke, Divide, Normalize a Military Police State: Trump is manufacturing crises to "justify" violent military oppression of his perceived "enemies within." Division of the people is the only way authoritarians win. Separation is illusion.

Really, truly amazing that OpenAI wants us to believe that they are worth a trillion dollars but also they are so desperate for revenue that they created an infinite SlopTok app that opens them up to a billion lawsuits just so that they can maybe someday make it even worse by filling it with ads.

Fascism. In our cities, on our streets, knocking down our doors in the middle of the night.

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session. Want to know why? Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out. Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

"We are under invasion from within" says Trump. Trump is normalizing the ultimate betrayal of a democracy: violent oppression of the people, by the people. Trump is a facist, moving quickly from an aspiring dictator to an acting dictator. Hitler would be proud. How do we resist?

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance. Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn. We have been sent here to fight for people.
