FUN FACT! Did you know that if we effectively taxed the rich, we could actually lower taxes for the working class? If you made less than the annual cost of living, you could actually pay NOTHING while still having a funded government. :-)

Why did all sides of the political spectrum and the mainstream media team up against Zohran Mamdani? Because they're terrified of what will happen if more people realize a better world is possible.

That's the point. Cripple the government to show how "ineffective" it is so it can be privatized. It's feudalism growing in the open. Republicans have been doing this my entire life and even before that. Republicans are blind to not see how they're useful idiots for the rich. 🤷‍♂️

We can't become numb to this lunacy. Republicans can't let anti-vaxxers like Lyn Redwood help OVERSEE vaccine safety. She will spread even more dangerous lies about vaccines—and she’s going to get kids killed. She doesn't belong anywhere near CDC. My full statement. ⬇️

Listen to the doctors: When patients go uninsured, they delay care, and it increases costs for everyone. Instead of paying $10 for diabetic medication, we'll pay $10,000 for an amputation. Help share so that everyone understands and speaks out AGAINST this Big Ugly Bill.

this kind of panic is completely disconnected from objective reality, what on earth are they expecting will happen if the city becomes (optimistically) 10% more responsive to the needs of people who will never know anyone who has a line drawing of themselves in the newspaper

New research from MIT found that those who used ChatGPT can’t remember any of the content of their essays. Key takeaway: the product doesn’t suffer, but the process does. And when it comes to essays, the process is how they learn. arxiv.org/pdf/2506.088...

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

I'm a very big fan of Ghibli and TCG player, I wanted to revisit the characters in my style 💕🌿 I did the design (no AI, I shared some videos of the WIPs on social networks) for a playmat, 10 tokens, 3 stickers, 1 life pad, 1 magnet, and 1 A5 illustration to make a collector box (limited to 50).

The right, and center libs, always want to equate property damage with violence That the actions of this protester are worse than the LAPD and SFPD cracking skulls, throwing down old men/woken, and firing their guns at reporters Property damage is not worse than people being hurt. Say it again.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

NEW: Unbelievable. A seemingly endless line of tanks & other military vehicles arrive in DC ahead of next week's parade. They departed Texas 5 days ago. What a colossal waste of time, money & military resources. All for a President who has shown zero respect for service personnel. (🎥 DW)

The Department of Homeland Security is NOT making our country safer. They're ignoring immigration laws. They're handcuffing moms, zip tying children and disappearing them without hearings or due process. They're weaponizing DHS to purge people from the population. They're hiding their faces.⬇️

The Trump administration is working with private companies like Palantir to create detailed reports on every American, which could help them weaponize our personal information in their quest to deport immigrants and punish critics. This is a huge threat to our constitutional rights.
