Over the next 8 days, you won't be able to turn on your TV, check your mail or watch a YouTube video without seeing a lie about our campaign. But we have the people. And the only thing more powerful than all this billionaire cash are New Yorkers talking to their neighbors.

This seems bad www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

this RULES

"Authoritarian regimes begin by targeting people who are least able to defend themselves," Gov. Newsom says. "But they do not stop there. Trump and his loyalists, they thrive on division because it allows them to take more power and exert even more control."

Gov. Newsom says Trump is "not opposed to lawlessness and violence as long as it serves him." "What more evidence do we need than January 6?"

Gov. Gavin Newsom: "Congress is nowhere to be found." "Speaker Johnson has completely abdicated that responsibility. The rule of law has increasingly been given way to the rule of Don."

Okay so law enforcement IS capable of massing on elementary schools to snatch up children, just not when there’s an active shooter. Got it.

Tom Homan, one of the top officials behind the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, is facing questions after it was revealed he was paid by a private prison company that stands to profit from the government’s detention policies.

Guys, it's the oligarchs. If you want to blame someone for 2024, blame the oligarchs. Anyone telling you to blame someone else is part of the oligarchy. Dark money has been to blame since citizens united.

Not recommending COVID vaccine for pregnant women (which could impact insurance reimbursement, also) will lead to more stillbirths. Brought to you by the party of life.

1/A government that is willing to do this is the same government that would nationalize a company. It is the same mentality of state-market relations. This is not an issue of Universities need to stand up. The whole free market system needs to stand up. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/22/u...

Do we wonder why white descendants of apartheid would be seen as assimilating very easily into the United States over other groups, or nah.

Aaaand there it is.

Priorities

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: The decades-long outsourcing of domestic manufacturing to China was not an insidious Chinese conspiracy for dominance but the greedy strategy of the American ruling class to explode its profit margins by exploiting global inequality.

How about some basic rules? --All law enforcement officers should wear identification --No law enforcement officers should be allowed masks --All law enforcement officers should wear and use body cams ...oh and... --All law enforcement officers should understand, respect & follow the law

“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”

Every book published in the United States is sent to the Library of Congress. Also, if you are under 16 you cannot use the reading room or order books.

#Libya #TrumpDeportations Just last year the State Department cited “harsh and life-threatening” conditions in Libya’s detention centers and found that migrants in those facilities, including children, had “no access to immigration courts or due process.”

What a line from Warren Buffett this morning: “Be kind, and the world is better off. I'm not sure that the world will be better off if I'm richer." [applause] 🙏🏼

What an embarrassment. It’s wild that the official position of the US Government is now pro-Nazi.

Dem Rep Gerry Connolly has resigned as Ranking Member of House Oversight due to his cancer. I like Connolly. But we should all be furious that Dems gave him this critical role knowing he was battling incurable cancer. This is a pattern from Dems. It must stop. www.qasimrashid.com/p/breaking-g...

My late husband had Esophageal Cancer. He was 44 when diagnosed and at the height of fitness and health, otherwise. The treatment was ***absolutely brutal*** yet the disease progressed aggressively. This was not the time for an honorary political assignment, yet here we are.

Good luck today, Canada 🇨🇦 elbows up!

Add this to the pile of articles thousands high that casually attribute Social Security’s financing issues to living longer without once mentioning stagnant wages. All while giving column inches to whether Social Security is a Ponzi scheme. Weak. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

This is exceptionally well reported: in case after case Trump has surrendered long time US interests to favor Russia and gained nothing in return. When you put it all together it a staggering surrender. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/26/u...

NEW: PublicSquare, a website that lets you search for businesses in your community that explicitly want you to know they endorse Trump/MAGA values, is backfiring as people use it to boycott those businesses. www.huffpost.com/entry/public...

Plenty of politicians on both sides of the aisle feel threatened by rising class consciousness.

If it’s true that their only “evidence” against this judge is that she advised someone to leave out a side door, this is complete banana republic bullshit and should be unequivocally condemned by both parties.

You know, with Am*z*n and B&N trying to run sales over Independent Bookstore Day, this seems like a pretty good week to crow about the cool stuff we do here. We're proud of this stuff, so we should tell you about it. So here's a thread...

In a year, Donald Trump *doubled* his estimated fortune, from $2.3 billion to $5.1 billion. That's thanks in large part to crypto ventures and his publicly traded social media company. They raise all kinds of new ethics concerns.

Can confirm. Absolutely awful.

There is a 0.000% chance he wrote this one.

republicans are disappearing people under the guise of fighting antisemitism and can’t even pretend to give a fuck when a jewish governor’s house gets firebombed on passover

Normally if someone tries to kill a governor, the president is briefed, calls the governor, and issues a statement committing resources to bringing perps to justice. It’s not just that we don’t expect Trump to be kind—we have to wonder if he’ll allow a real investigation at all.

FOX 🦊 is a root of much evil. 👿
