The only fair way to handle this is to appoint a team of teenagers to tear this company limb from limb until we find out what kind of financial damage they are hiding and where

Thus can happen to any of us. With no due process? You get “disappeared.”

The members of the Jan 6 Committee are all proud of our work. Your threats will not intimidate us. Or silence us.

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

This statement from AG Bondi is a disgrace. The judge did not “support” terrorists. He decided a case, based on facts and law, finding the requirements of the Alien Enemy Act lacking.

Today is Employee Appreciation Day, and we're thinking of the thousands of incarcerated people who are exploited every single day to keep prisons going. buff.ly/Y5r5OVm

nothing will ever be quite as funny to me as Cybertruck owners saying "what ever happened to basic compassion and decency, I thought we lived in a society"

People assume Andrew Cuomo is tough and A Fighter because he always looks angry and acts weird. Mistaking a total lack of emotional self-regulation and wild, self-destructive spite for Masculine Strength is one of the defining political errors to me. No one even tries to keep it together anymore.

Chilling and unconscionable. We must get for profit prisons / detainment centers out of Gov! Share this article with everyone. Before it gets even worse. We will SEE this & address it, it’s our lesson. But we don’t have to experience it any longer than we need to. Share, shout & get busy!

We are shutting down our online store at midnight Eastern in solidarity with the 2/28 Economic Blackout. We’ll be back on 3/1. Also, sorry about the long shipping timeframes and the lack of shirts—we’re working hard to catch up! We use small U.S. suppliers for our products.

Andrew Tate being allowed to come to the U.S. and avoid facing trial for sex trafficking in Romania is beyond stomach-churning. This man is a HUGE influencer and uses his platform/following to further abuse women who have accused him. Now he won’t face justice, reaffirming his lies to his followers

The People's Union USA, a grassroots group, is calling on Americans to join a national boycott by not shopping for 24 hours on Friday.

To all my Bluesky friends, please join me in this effort to fight back and protect our democracy! 💙 #Resist

Im excited to take place in the economic blackout boycott tomorrow. I hope you'll join me and millions of others.

One thing I intend to do tomorrow while studiously not consuming anything from big corporations, is to send messages to these companies letting them know they will not be getting my business until they stop bending the knee to Trump's bigoted agenda. www.advocate.com/news/compani...

Breaking it, then profiting off the *fix* The same way they profit off of education privatization… health care… etc… They count on you not realizing it. You are their piggy bank.

UPDATE: As the Tennessee Federation of Republican Women removes a Hitler reference from their website, the Hillwood Country Club in Nashville cancels their event — calling it “In direct conflict with our principles and values” www.timesfreepress.com/news/2025/ja...

This is becoming absurd—federal employees are now being told to remove pronouns from their email signatures. We will always stand by our commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, no matter how many things we’re asked to delete or change. Inclusivity is at the core of who we are.

ALL the U.S. Inspector Generals that Trump just tried to fire are refusing to leave their post (because he does not have the legal right to fire them) and are telling him to get fucked. Brava.

Friendly reminder for this new year: if you want to draw you only need one thing: DRAW It's okay if you don't have art studies, if you're bad at anatomy or color, if you draw on a napkin or if it looks “ugly” to you... You don’t need to be “good” at something to have fun!

My monograph "Shadow of the New Deal" was recognized by five book awards in 2024, and it's on end-of-year Kindle sale today! www.amazon.com/Shadow-New-D...

If this year taught us anything, it's that: 1) Workers keep America going, not billionaires. 2) Corporate profits don't trickle down to workers. 3) Poverty is a policy choice. 4) Health care is a human right. 5) Strikes work. I hope we act on these lessons in the new year.

Something to remember

BREAKING NEWS: multiple sources have confirmed that the person reading this is worthy of love

I’ve now had 3-4 exchanges with business profs who seem baffled that humanities profs are resisting their assertions that AI can teach our courses and AI can replicate our work. They all seemed quite shocked that “you don’t matter and this machine will replace you” isn’t a winning sales pitch.

Franklin, Tennessee pastor 👇🏽 #MedicareForAll

Massive protests in Belgrade, Serbia against corruption and calling on the pro-kremlin President Vučić and his government to step down. #SerbiaProtests

The contrast really is striking isn’t it

These people eliminated 190 million dollars in childhood cancer research money to pay for tax cuts for the wealthiest corporations in human history. I’m a no.

Billionaires have more money than they could ever need but never enough to fill the holes in their souls. They would send every last one of you into an early grave if it meant paying one cent less in taxes.

The world's richest man managed to take $190 million away from a *child cancer research center* with his posts yesterday. Funding now stripped in the new bill.

BREAKING: The biggest strike against Amazon in U.S. history is happening right now. The Teamsters are picketing facilities across the country. The union has organized workers at 10 Amazon locations AND they're putting up picket lines at hundreds of other Amazon sites nationwide.
