It was never a better idea—Republicans have been masterful at convincing folks to vote against their own interests.

A federal judge in Washington said that the way the Trump administration set up and has been running Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency could violate the Constitution.

Donald Trump has reportedly spent an estimated $10.7 million worth of taxpayer money to play golf since his inauguration. This is happening as Head Start programs have struggled to access previously approved federal funding due to the Trump admin's illegal impoundment. Hello?

An important historical note — that USAID helped end Apartheid — sheds new light on Elon’s relentless and soulless attack on USAID. During Apartheid, Black South Africans were robbed of human rights and political power. 1/2 www.thealtmedia.com/p/musks-sout...

I don't this story has registered with enough people. OPM is trying to make it possible for Musk to control the IT of every federal agency and department. I assume that would give him access--backdoor access?--to...everything. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Trump is capitalism in human form, stripped of its disguises. The violent seizure of other people's resources, the exploitation of other people's catastrophes, the predatory gleam in the psychopath's eye. #Gaza #Genocide

Infuriating that Trump is meddling with CA water management, to feed his misinformation campaign: “If the purpose was to help with the fires in Southern California, we do not believe that it will, because that’s not where that water goes,” www.nytimes.com/2025/01/31/u...

Guardian vs. NYT. You know who's going to call things by their true names and who's not even gonna give you syrup with that waffle. Guardian: "Elon Musk waded into controversy on Monday when he gave back-to-back fascist-style salutes....

Happy winter solstice, in the north. A question in honor of the returning light: If we are in a dark time now, what are some seeds of light being tended - maybe quietly, maybe in the dark - with the potential to ignite something bright and life sustaining?

Hey, at least they’re giving the land a vote in their maps—finally, representation for dirt and trees!

Well this is a scary analysis - people moving from blue states to red will take away total blue state electoral votes. Seems like we should start lobbying for more states to split their electoral votes to avoid big red states getting bigger and redder? www.nytimes.com/2024/12/12/o...

Hey Bluesky, I am excited by all the energy coalescing on this platform. It seems like a place for strategic thinking, which we badly need. A few initial thoughts: 🧵

Exciting news, the fabulous East Bay Booksellers have reopened (after the devastating fire) at a temporary location at 6022 College Avenue! And just in time for holiday shopping and book browsing!

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record. They run them bc people react to them the most. If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change. It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

Great article- I can’t believe I’ve never heard of the Robinson-Patman act before. Seems to have broader implications than just grocery stores as well. Why didn’t Democrats do something about this? Why is no one talking about this?
