The fascists control every single social media app except this one. They will do everything they can to destroy this place because freedom scares them. This is why they sent JD Vance first. Everywhere he touches dies.

Meanwhile..

Senator Padilla makes an excellent point: if the FBI and Secret Service were willing to physically remove a Senator they had just escorted into the room, force him down on the floor and cuff him because he tried to ask a question What do you think they & ICE do to regular people?

Daily reminder that Republicans are playing politics with our lives. They are NOT pro-life - they are pro-birth, #DontKillOurMedicaid

RFK Jr. is going to kill thousands of people. That’s not hyperbole.

While we wait for the Supreme Court to rule in a critical redistricting case from Louisiana, this is what the GOP is up to in Texas and Ohio. Remember the GOP's plan is to make it harder for you to vote and easier for them to cheat.

So True

Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Greene have both now said that Fox News is propaganda. The right wing is tearing itself apart and I’m loving every minute of it.

The Watergate break-in (which happened 53 years ago this week) began the modern era of “whatever-it-takes-to-win” politics — blatant disregard of any and all norms and laws that interfered with gaining or keeping power. Trump is the logical and inevitable consequence. https://bit.ly/3QV2m4s

A judge ruled EPA termination of environmental justice grants was unlawful. EPA cannot “thumb its nose at Congress” by refusing to spend appropriated funds, the judge wrote.

Ripping up the deal worked really well, right?

So the village idiot, Ted Cruz, is quoting from the Old Testament which is the OLD LAW according to Jesus. This just proves how fake the right is toward Christianity.

I don’t know, I just don’t think we should be making decisions with geopolitical implications that could result in millions of deaths and catastrophic damage based on a passage in Genesis.

They are taking money from the poor to hand to the rich. Reverse Robin Hood politics. We must reject the “Big Beautiful” Bullshit.

The Tucker-Ted Cruz interview goes off the rails when Ted calls Tucker an anti-Semite and Tucker calls Ted a “sleazy feline.”

Terry Moran being suspended by ABC News is ironic given Moran went out of his way to not embarrass Trump over the president’s delusion about the doctored MS13 photo, repeatedly saying ‘let’s agree to disagree’ and ‘let’s move on’ but they still got him suspended. You can’t appease these people ever.

Calling what corporate media does "News" is like saying a photo of a bird on a branch is a documentary on flight. They only tell half of the story, at best. They leave out the good that people create & share each day to overcome monumental challenges, most of which is created by the greedy few!

This is the current head of Homeland Security. Be sure to remind her she said this:

I wonder what America would be like if we actually did the right thing.

All we asked for was healthcare, clean air, feed hungry children and the right to love who we choose. What we get in return is tax cuts for the rich, military parades and soldiers in the streets.

Major General Randy E. Manner, former Acting Vice Chief, National Guard Bureau statement to Fox News: "This is an inappropriate use of the National Guard and is not warranted.”

Just to recap where we are… A federal agency is using unidentified mercenaries to wage a soft war against the people of LA.

This administration needs to stop targeting international reporters, they’re the ones helping spread the truth. In multiple videos, officers are seen aiming directly at them, fully aware they’re members of the press. These so-called “non-lethal” rounds can absolutely be lethal.

This isn't really my beat but I honestly do wonder about this, about the lack of coalitions and open building of models given all the expertise at universities, but then I consider the sociocultural divides between expertises and I don't wonder so much. Still I feel there is something big here

How on earth can this country still hold the World Cup and Olympics next year??

Independent journalism is when you can write what Terry Moran wrote without getting in trouble. Corporate journalism is when you can’t. It’s why many left the latter for the former. I understand the rationale behind corp journalism rules, I’m just glad they don’t apply to me

"I voted for lawless, anonymous, masked, and unchecked police" is one hell of a jump from "eggs cost too much."

"In our federal system, the National Gov. possesses only limited powers; the States and the people retain the remainder. The States have broad authority to enact legislation for the public good—what we have often called a 'police power.' The Fed. Gov., by contrast, has no such authority."-SCOTUS '14

Are you worried about making your next debt payment? Bloomberg reporters want to hear your story.

The guy that has back doors into every government computer system is feuding with the guy that has the nuclear codes. What could possibly go wrong?

Former Bush Defense Secretary Robert Gates on Donald Trump: “I believe Mr. Trump is beyond repair. He is stubbornly uninformed…he is unqualified and unfit to be Commander-in-Chief.” REPOST if you stand with Secretary Gates against Donald Trump!

Share this far and wide. It will only get worse.

Excellent question.

Giving tax breaks to the very wealthy few is an expense. Giving life saving aid to the vulnerable working class is an investment that pays back dividends to all of us! Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 tell your Senator: Stop the Big Brutal Boondoggle!

I run a non-profit that works on a real policy issue (parking) and I have staff I try to pay well, but many hundreds — or maybe thousands — of people give money to divisive keyboard warriors every month to read their substacks. Support good work by good folks here. parkingreform.org/support

I said healthcare is a human right and now Elon Musk is posting about “suicidal empathy” at 3 am:

He needs some jail time.👇

Margaret Brennan totally exposes FDA Commissioner Makary for making it up as he goes and making conflicting recommendations in order to cast doubt on covid vaccines. He's so terrible during this interview that Brennan is left shaking her head as she wraps it up.
