We need to tax them severely for the sake of their own mental health. It’s clearly as dangerous to the psyche to be a billionaire as to be a meth addict.

I feel like I’ve said this 1000 times: There are plenty of studies that prove the stress of living in poverty changes the way brains work, but nothing that I have ever seen in this world warps a mind more than Emperor-level wealth

New at Tusk: If throwing a vulnerable community under the bus doesn’t actually improve your chances of winning elections, then it’s just throwing a vulnerable community under the bus.

🔥 @adammockler.com : “Every time one of these tragic shootings happens everybody’s at each other’s throats about which side did it but we’re missing a broader pattern in 🇺🇸— this was another white young white dude in his 20’s… an acceleration of radicalization of young men…”

Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets. • Joy Reid • Don Lemon • Melissa Harris-Perry • Tiffany Cross • Jemele Hill • Marc Lamont Hill • Karen Attiah • Amber Ruffin

RIP CALLTIME, THE AGE OF STREAMING IS NOW

To make it easy for everyone, here is a link to her twitch. Lets boost her stream. www.twitch.tv/katabughazaleh

🚨 HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨 For the next month, we're doing an experiment: live-streaming as a core campaign strategy. Every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday, I'll be streaming with guests, games, and (of course) my cat, Heater. And if this works, we'll keep doing it. Join us tomorrow, 7 PM CT.

People are talking past each other in a really ugly way about data sharing, and as someone who has both written terms of service for large-scale digital platforms, and built infrastructure for gathering data for campaigns, it's important to understand the context of threats people are speaking to…

For the record. My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers. I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

It’s wild watching every advanced agency developed during my lifetime be destroyed on purpose, by people who want to profit from it and cheered on by those who will be hurt the most because they don't understand how things work.

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

you could write an entire book about this post and I will for the right price

I’ve come to a regular tech industry event run by a VC firm for the first time in years, and they have @linamkhan.bsky.social on stage, where she was asked a pretty intellectually dishonest question about whether the FTC under her leadership had unfairly limited big tech’s ability to make deals…

Several anti-ICE protestors on the Ohio-Kentucky border. This is how the police dealt with them. Literally beat the hell out of them. This is Trump's police state America, coming to a protest near you.

“Governing with speed is essential to meeting the people where they are,” argues Wes Moore. “We must work together with urgency to build homes, create jobs, raise wages and leave no one behind”

Over 1M government workers, 82% of the federal workforce, just lost union rights after executive orders banned collective bargaining across NASA, NOAA, HHS, VA, and more. This reverses years of union wins during the Biden era across both public and private sectors. Voters choose this future.

If I were a Senator, all my questions for RFK Jr. would've been about steroids. -How long have you used steroids? -Come on, who are you kidding. Is it HGH? -When was your last drug test? -Have your testicles shrunk from steroid use? -What meds did you use to prevent shrunken testicles from steroids?

Instead of playing on liars' terms, start from the premise that their BS is BS, and build from there. I'm not claiming I know exactly how to do this, nor that there's one way to do it, but in general, this is the sort of thing I have in mind. At minimum, will get attention and prompt defensiveness.

No, I don't think that'll solve everything. In fact, I think "that won't solve everything" is a very bad, way too common reason to not do something. I think treating obvious lies as lies, and serial bad faith as bad faith, would be better on its own. Waste less time, focus more on the real problem.

I have a language suggestion, which everyone can do, but is primarily for media members who value truth and Democratic politicians: Instead of asking and adjudicating if an obvious lie is false, make the fact that it's false your premise. "Why are you lying?" instead of "some say that's not true."

“If one really wishes to know how justice is administered in a country, one does not question the policemen, the lawyers, the judges. . . One goes to the unprotected — those, precisely, who need the law’s protection most! — and listens to their testimony.” — James Baldwin

International student arrivals on U.S. visas in July dropped 28.5% year over year, India alone plunged 50%. That’s a brutal financial blow for colleges, many of which rely on international students paying 2–3× more than in-state kids to balance their budgets. Project 2025 continues as planned.

The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it. ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures. Losers with power become the most dangerous kind. (c/o Caroline Codsi)

Because destroying the US is not enough, Trump is using tariffs, visa restrictions, and trade deals to pressure other countries to abandon climate goals and increase fossil fuel use, further destroying the world and the future.

making my way through the ken burns JAZZ documentary and this portion of his interview with dave brubeck — who passed in 2012 — is a reminder of how *recent* american history really is. start at :55 or so. youtu.be/stadqAHRroA?...

Oxford scientists have created a nutrient-rich “superfood” to help save honeybees. The lab-made supplement contains all six essential sterols that bees need but couldn’t be synthesized before.

How much more of the future do we want to let them destroy?
