While Trump’s cronies gut public education, Sen. Elizabeth Warren is demanding answers—and they’re running scared. Linda McMahon bailed on the Senate forum. Why? Because they know this agenda is indefensible. We see you. We won’t back down. Hands Off Public Schools

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

There is no rationale to restricting COVID19 vaccines other than validating conspiracy theories and tossing red meat at the red hats. That’s all this is about.

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Today, thousands of health workers at the CDC and FDA lost their jobs, effective immediately. People are literally finding out if they were fired at security when they try to badge in. It's cruel and unnecessary, which is the point.

My advice is if your law firm can't say this, get yourself a new law firm. "Elias Law Group will not be deterred from fighting for democracy in court. There will be no negotiation with this White House about the clients we represent or the lawsuits we bring on their behalf."

Disruption is all they seem to understand—so that’s exactly what they’re getting. For 14 hours, @booker.senate.gov has been on the Senate floor, speaking truth within the rules. This cannot be business as usual when our democracy’s on the line. Thank you, senator.

If you think it’ll stop at Columbia and Harvard, you’re wrong. If you think it won’t go beyond universities to infiltrate all schools, you’re wrong. If you think it won’t demand compliance at media, medical, and non-profit organizations, you’re wrong. Fascism is here. Fight it.

Now they are trying to pretend like they were never planning to close the offices." popular.info/p/how-the-so...

“Bending the knee and precomplying will not stave off these attacks. Acquiescing to censorship will not stop the threats. Only engaging in collective, bold, public, strategic struggle & disruption has the potential to do so. We did not pick this fight, but this is the fight that we are in.”

More than the price of eggs, milk, housing, healthcare, or education. More than general inflation. The biggest reason people struggle financially is our rising income and wealth inequality.

The problem with public sevices isn’t too much government—it’s too much corporate capture of government. Abundance discourse just blames government, letting corporate power off the hook.

Sadly the press continues to be complicit by failing to report accurately on what is happening. This is not a "DEI purge". This is the systematic erasure of the important contributions of Black historical figures. The erasure is rooted in re-segregation and racism. www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/...

After reading this, at this point, even US citizens travelling within the US - which carries its own risks - should travel with their passports and with burner phones- leave your usual phone at home. Memorize a few phone numbers of family or friends in case.

American civil society is full of abject cowards, that is the issue. The government is a mafia state but it is winning because most American elite institutions are devoid of anything resembling integrity and are folding rather than stand on principles that were little more than marketing.
