It’s not just that the oligarchs don’t want to pay their fair share of taxes. Many of them literally do not believe in the concept of government. They are rich and powerful and have the “divine right” to do anything they want.

To be clear, people didn’t just take to the street spontaneously. Organizers got the word out, had the local politicians on speed dial, and had the trucks, speakers, signs, PA, and safety signals ready to go. I’m a neighborhood rando. Those guys rule.

What an irresponsible comment. Hurricane season is here and the acting head of FEMA is “joking” that he didn’t know the U.S. had a hurricane season. We’re not laughing and neither are the American people. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

85 million Americans are uninsured or underinsured & we are the only major country not to guarantee health care for all. If Trump’s “big beautiful bill” passes, nearly 14 million more will lose health insurance & thousands will die unnecessarily. We cannot allow that to happen.

According to a study by Penn Wharton, Trump's "big, beautiful bill" that pays for tax breaks for the rich by cutting Medicaid leads to a $700 LOSS in income for the working class, a $1,000 LOSS in income for the poor & a $389,000 INCREASE for the top 0.1%. We must defeat it.

I asked Sec. Kennedy why he shut down the Firefighter Cancer Registry. He had no idea.   Because we called them out, it was back online hours later.  This administration cuts blindly, ignoring the harm to working Americans. I’m going to keep calling it as we see it.

So important not to let the bigger picture of Mohsen Mahdawi's case go forgotten. He was on his way to becoming a U.S. citizen when Marco Rubio personally decided to seek his deportation because of speech which Rubio himself acknowledged was lawful. Not for anything illegal. SPEECH.

ICE dragged a mother from her home in Massachusetts—clinging to her baby—without showing a warrant or ID. When neighbors demanded proof, ICE sneered, “We don’t have to show you anything.” That’s not law enforcement. That’s state-sponsored kidnapping. This is fascism & it’s terrifying.

Essentially all research and expert assessments show that this does not work. It will not counter Farage, but literally push votes towards Reform. It genuinely is impossible to overstate how profoundly stupid and strategically illiterate this decision is. You cannot out-Reform Reform.

🚨Very bad news! Annual global CO₂ increase of 3.75 ppm! @climate.noaa.gov had to extend its y-axis by 1 ppm for the first time. More and more of the CO₂ we emit stays in the atmosphere (Airborne fraction). Likely because the Land Sink (biosphere) is decreasing, increasing the Atmospheric Sink

Why are children not playing in the street? An FT piece analysing the - very concerning - decline in outdoor play manages to look at every possible cause: screens, spaces, school timetable changes. Apart from one. Cars. It is simply not safe for kids to play outside on streets.
