Everyone needs to see the best moments from Bernie Sanders and AOC’s rally in front of 36,000 people today. Something big is happening in this country.

@alunlewis.bsky.social We now have an event in Norwich! actionnetwork.org/events/tesla... #teslatakedown #norwich

“Khalil has not been charged with a crime. Instead, the Trump administration alleged that his presence poses adverse “foreign policy consequences.” BREAKING: @delaneynolan.bsky.social reports on the possible deportation of Mahmoud Khalil, a detained student arrested for pro-Palestine activism.

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks. We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

New research: public ownership of water could cut bills by £3–5bn a year. Bosses of profit-gouging water companies fund studies claiming it’s “too expensive.” It’s not. It would just mean they take the hit instead of the public, who’ve footed the bill for 35 years of failure.

The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%.  That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class. The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

Netanyahu loves Trump's plan to force 2 million people from Gaza & turn it into a billionaires’ Riviera. He calls it "voluntary migration.” It's not voluntary if you bomb & starve those who stay. It’s ethnic cleansing. It's a war crime. No more military aid to Netanyahu.

More than 50,000 people in Gaza are dead. 114,000 have been wounded — two-thirds of whom are women & children. The entire infrastructure has been destroyed. Much of that devastation has been done with bombs that the U.S. supplied to the Netanyahu war machine. We are complicit.

We wouldn’t be here if SCOTUS had allowed the January 6th trial to go forward as scheduled.

Sotomayor is right. According to this Supreme Court, the US can now kidnap, detain, and fly legal immigrants and citizens to a foreign country's prison, even if it's a whoopsie. America, people. Freedom and stuff.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.

This should be obvious!

The dumbest people are destroying us. That makes it even more painful.

I'm sorry, but any major news media outlet not covering hands off protests, tesla protests, or the acts of popular resistance are making a deliberate choice -- to serve power.

Never forget that Roberts enabled all of this - ALL OF THIS - by letting billionaires corrupt the entire political system via the Citizens United decision and destroying the Voting Rights Act.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

60 Minutes found no criminal record for 75% of the Venezuelan migrants the U.S. sent to a mega-prison in El Salvador. https://cbsn.ws/4lC4Vp5

Ten Britons accused of committing war crimes while fighting for Israel in Gaza

Owen Jones continues to do great journalism about the genocide in Gaza. Here is a devastating take-down of the hugely biased reporting by the western media. m.youtube.com/watch?v=_fWi...

As I explain in this article, it’s heartbreaking, the party that created the NHS now refuses to defend something as basic as public water. From welfare to water - we need to remember who we are. @bylinetimes.bsky.social

Attacking ambulances, executing medics, then tossing their bodies in a mass grave. If Hamas had committed this crime, it would trigger deafening global outrage. But Israel did it, and so most people are left unaware it even happened 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/why-isnt-t...

"‘Point-Blank Range’: How Israel Executed 15 Medics and Rescue Workers in Gaza" Writing for Zeteo, Diana Buttu says she had a difficult time writing this essay because she could not stop thinking about the level of evil needed to carry this out.

"Think about what kind of person you have to be that you get caught lying [and] double down on the lie." I went on a rant about JD Vance, whose dishonesty is in some ways worse than Trump and Musk's. Full video: www.youtube.com/shorts/ftHmU...

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election. 70% of these donations went to Republicans. Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts for the rich. This is what oligarchy looks like.

BRING BACK FREE SPEECH AND ARREST THE WAR CRIMINALS!

The question of if a country could fuck itself harder than the UK did with Brexit has today been answered.

"These are defacto tax cuts for the wealthy paid for by the poor" - Steve Liesman on CNBC

Is there no crime that Israel can commit in full view of the world that it can’t get away with? No crime too grotesque, no crime too depraved, no crime too sadistic?

The U.S is the wealthiest country in the history of the world. We should not have the highest rate of child poverty of nearly every major country on earth. We should have the lowest.   It's time to end this international embarrassment & create an economy that works for all.
