Shouldn’t take a court order to tell you to feed the hungry.

These contiguous posts in my timeline show how companies, both big and small, can either devote themselves to the trivial and evil or the substantive and good.

I'm only 34 and I remember a time when nazism and racism and sexism and homophobia was a bad thing that nobody wanted to be connected to

Tax the rich. Also, corporations aren’t people, and money isn’t speech.

a live look this morning at the demolished East Wing of the White House

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

Graduate seminar did a deep dive on Thomas Paine’s Common Sense yesterday. At the line, “in America the law is king,” they (14 students from 6 countries) burst out laughing. I've been doing this for 35 years and this is the first time that was a laugh line.

Question: would police officers typically point guns at family members like this? Would they typically bruise up children? Would they say they're gonna blow your head off to an unarmed mom in front of her kids? ICE did that to this family. If it can happen to them, it can happen to yours! Share!

US health insurance premiums rose to $27,000 for families in 2025 reut.rs/4ngmkTu

Absolutely outrageous!! 😡

👇 food for thought

I have never ever seen anyone steal food and I’m certainly not starting now.

I'm grateful to @60minutes.bsky.social featuring our study published @justsecurity.org. Link to the study (on the 'presumption of regularity'): www.justsecurity.org/120547/presu...

Absolutely crucial point here by Greg Sargent. When we don’t call propaganda what it is, we co-produce it, and hasten disaster. newrepublic.substack.com/p/maga-implo...

“YOU hit HER.” CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

Send this to everyone you can.

Has anyone else noticed there's no prize for being right?

People ask me all the time what they can do and broadly: 1) Organize and join protests 2) Support media that isn't backing down 3) Give to ACLU and others taking on the illegal actions in court 4) Give to food banks :(

When people ask “how can we afford to eradicate poverty” they probably aren’t aware that the UK govt already spends £100bn+ managing the effects of poverty (illness, crime, poor educational attainment, reduced labour mobility and activity etc etc) Time to move to a #UBI

Presidents? SCOTUS gives them immunity. Corporations? SCOTUS makes it easier for them to pollute. Billionaires? SCOTUS says they can buy elections. But if you look Latino, speak Spanish, or work at a low wage job, SCOTUS says you can be abducted by masked agents. The legacy of the Roberts court.

Federal agents hurled tear gas at people on a busy Logan Square street, outside a grocery store and near an elementary school. Reckless, undertrained ICE hires are a danger to everyone. This is terrorism against US citizens.

Somewhere in America, a young Hispanic girl is hiding in an attic writing a diary.

This is it #trumpshutdown 🎥: @warnock.senate.gov

If you started counting 1 number per second 24/7, it would take longer than humanity has had civilization (31,710 years) to get to 1 trillion. If you spent $1 million *per day*, it would take 2739.7 years to spend a trillion. $1 trillion = $6,211/registered US voter Tax the f***ing rich.

Exposing the fundamental problem w private ownership of utilities/necessary services: by definition, they can not give you the lowest rate because there's always a profit motive & they can't borrow money at the same rate governments do. So you're paying their loan interest, too.

This is the cause of the shutdown: another attempt by the GOP to defund the ACA. And they're sticking you w the bill while giving tax cuts to their super-wealthy donors. The "paying healthcare for illegals" is utter BS. If illegals are getting healthcare, that's an enforcement issue, not a legal one

1. One of the main assumptions in the story about the government shutdown, which begins at midnight tonight, is that the Democrats see a “rare opportunity to use their leverage to achieve policy goals.”

If the makers of Tylenol bought enough Trumpcoin, they’d be telling us that it prevents autism.

De Niro: "I gotta go. A couple cases of Tylenol fell off a truck and now I gotta figure out how to put autism in them."

A pitch for those of you canceling Disney+/Hulu this week would be to use that cash and subscribe to PBS/PBS Passport. Public media is foundational to our democracy and supporting @pbs.org is just about the best value for your dollar. Plus, there are so many British mysteries!!!

Does the right know the real danger is to their right? Looks like Charlie Kirk’s killer spoke groyper. A THREAD.

Make it make sense. No, seriously. You clowns on SCOTUS and in the Federalist Society and Heritage Foundation... walk this line for me... because it really looks like you're all black-out drunk.

*cracks knuckles* okay so you know how the media has a problem with taking snippets of scientific studies out of context and writing articles which mislead the public? now imagine a computer program is doing that when you ask it questions about scientific literature but also it makes stuff up.

Who agrees? ✋ #EpsteinTrumpPedoFiles

DC residents are aggressively pushing back against Trump's phony narrative about their city. Some are doing videos that show off beautiful parts of DC. Many others are aggressively documenting the daily reality of the sudden occupation. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/jennifer...

An idea:

#ProudBlue The #convictedfelon’s administration quietly blocks gender-affirming care for adults on federal health plans. An estimated 14,000 trans federal employees would be affected by this change. apple.news/A4y6NCmJpTq2...

Where are the hard-working Americans who screamed, “They’re stealing our jobs”? You’re getting your wish. Immigrant workers aren’t showing up, and farm owners are hiring.

🚨🚨 BREAKING: Trump Administration Poised to Cut SSI Benefits for Nearly 400,000 Low-Income Disabled and Older People. This is absolutely DISGUSTING and DESPICABLE. There is no low this administration will reach.😡🤬 www.cbpp.org/research/soc...

"The world is still an awful place in many ways, and the crises we face are daunting. But looking past the dark headlines, we can see bright trendlines that give us profound reasons to be optimistic for our future," writes Guardian contributor John D Boswell.
