America once bestowed the light of democracy to the world by defeating the tyrannical King George. 250 years later, millions of Americans are okay with a tyrant in makeup and a wig crapping out hate tweets at 3AM from his golden throne.

Clarence Thomas says the 14th Amendment should be read narrowly because it was written for formerly enslaved people. By that logic, the 2nd Amendment was written for muskets, not AR-15s. Funny how that kind of originalism only shows up when it's convenient.

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 know man, who is “the Democratic Party” if it’s not the voters?Democratic voters choose candidates, not party leaders. And party leaders need to listen to what voters are telling us - and right now they are demanding our party be bolder.

It will actually help billionaires if we tax them more. The alternative is pitchfork time. They should accept the taxes…

Can reporters stop using the word deal? It’s an agreement, a settlement, a treaty, an understanding, an MOU etc. Using the word deal is accepting his simple-minded TV game-show framing and contributes to the bogus drama he is trying to create.

I think politicians should start wearing sponsor jackets like F1 drivers, so we can see who owns them.

China is dominating solar, batteries, and EVs because they made a national commitment, while we keep stalling. Every day we delay on clean energy is a day we fall further behind. This is an economic and national security fight we can't lose.

Good reminders…

I support this and appreciate that it took a lot of political courage for our governor to do it. My respect for her has risen — and it was already high.

Like… We cannot go ahead and have the World Cup now like nothing is going on. Regardless of what does or doesn’t happen tonight. Countries should simply refuse to send teams. The rest of the world cannot treat us as a remotely normal country after this

Remember: The richest 1% evade roughly $160 billion in taxes every year. That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare. Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

Pitchfork time…

Funny thing about American mass media is how woke content is broadly popular, routinely pays for itself, and sometimes goes blockbuster, whereas right-wing content is a narrow niche that rarely reaches breakeven, never goes blockbuster, and usually requires immense subsidies for it to exist at all.

Another banger article by @davidzipper.bsky.social about how measuring roadway fatalities by mile rather than per capita normalizes what makes US roads dangerous. Countries that use per capita are focused on safety results. We are focused on excuses. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The richest Americans saw their net worth soar 120% from 2017 to 2025. The top 1% now control $55.8 trillion in assets — more than the G.D.P. of the United States and China combined. Meanwhile, millions of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

Go to indvisible.org to find where your closest "NO KINGS" protest is on Saturday, March 28th. It's fun. It feels good. It's historic. But most importantly, we're screwed without solidarity on this issue. AMERICA does not have a King!

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Chakrabarti: We’ve basically created a federal jobs program to terrorize people through ICE. What if we used that instead to actually develop things — to build things people want? It’s the same with foreign policy. We’re spending all this money dropping bombs in other countries—no one wants that.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.
