If Jeff Bezos can send Katy Perry into space, he can pay a wealth tax so every American has debt-free healthcare.

Erik Prince visited Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele in August 2024 & gushed that he was “very impressed” with Bukele’s prison system. Bukele posted this clip from their meeting. 1/

Sooner or later, we're ALL going to be Kilmar Abrego Garcia

The Trump regime has done more damage to the USA in less than 90 days than all global terrorist groups and militias combined have been able to in the last 60 years.

CALL your Congressional Rep and demand they start QUORUM BUSTING! Shut this shit down because TRUMP IS LAWLESS! 202-224-3121 Read more here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quorum

I know there's a lot going on right now but, uh, I hope nobody is too attached to the US Aid To Navigation buoy system. Apparently Coast Guard buoy tenders are being sent to the border, where they have no training or equipment to help that mission. Remember this when ships start running around!

This was one of my favourite tweets of all time. Never fails to make me laugh my ass off

Hey, did you know there's an alternative to ChatGPT that makes sense economically and doesn't destroy the environment? It's called English majors and they will happily fix all of your documents for the low price of health insurance and a living wage.

Want to make 3 court filings available given focus on Abrego Garcia. 1) Here's the first Immigration Judge's ruling that KAG posed a risk, which Pam Bondi falsely claimed amounted to a ruling he's a MS-13 terrorist. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I know we beat this drum daily, but today especially it’s obvious these are not the actions of a party that anticipates ever losing power.

Note the date

too many people forget

Lest you believe this is about the elite ivies, $20 million dollars in federal grants and funding have been cut across UC Irvine. This is about attacking economic mobility, destroying free thought, & creating fungible, powerless workers for the oligarchic bosses. Our kids’ futures are at risk.

So, if I understand correctly, the President of the United States is saying that the Supreme Court of the United States consists of nine “sick people,” including three whom he appointed. apple.news/AMHDqIFcpRxi...

We don't know who wrote this but it resonates. Keep holding on to that ember of hope. Goodnight friends. Get some rest. We rise to fight again tomorrow.

In a new report, Sarah Stillman investigates deaths related to starvation, dehydration, and neglect in county jails across the U.S.—a crisis that at times has been covered up by private health companies and government officials. nyer.cm/hMT7u9R

They are concentration camps, not prison camps.

As Colorado's representatives in Congress, we urge you to oppose Congressionally-proposed cuts to Medicaid funding that would throw hundreds of thousands of Coloradans off their health insurance and increase costs. You can read the entire letter at ow.ly/9ySi50VzVav

Dihydrogen monoxide will kill you if you inhale it. POTUS should ban it to keep us safe!! People have been trying to ban it since the 1990s at least, but since Trump is the best president ever, I bet he can succeed where others have failed. #SoSad #InTheNameOfNationalSecurityAmen

Daily bunny no.2925 missed the boat!

When I was young, there were <1,000 bald eagles in the lower 48 due to DDT, hunting, and habitat loss, and we never saw one the whole time roaming the prairies and mountains of SD. Today, there are 70,000+ and I see them daily. Governments can and should effect positive change.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

On April 14, 150 years later, our #POTUS #assassinated our #Constitution by openly defying the #SCOTUS because he couldn’t handle a #BlackMan being #president.

On April 14, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated—just days after the Civil War ended. His death was a political act of vengeance for the fall of the Confederacy and a violent response to the abolition of slavery. 128 days to Slavery Remembrance Day. #CountDowntoSRD

There will be no restoration of a constitutional republic until he is not only removed from power but repudiated as having never legitimately held it. The system simply can't fit back together again without that. You can't shatter the foundation to this degree and then try to rebuild on top of it.

Just in! Updated physical exam report on POTUS reviewed by our clinicians.

People who know me for 10 minutes have heard me say for DECADES now that there is no way forward that doesn't involve community-building. And some folks have been furious at me for pointing out the necessity of transformative justice. But here we are... both things are still true. THE END.

The FDA is asking laid-off employees to temporarily return after mass cuts decimated the agency’s ability to penalize stores that sell cigarettes and vapes to minors.

Snip both ends off a Go-gurt and blowgurt your enemies

I would not have predicted that large universities would show more courage than either Big Law or corporate media. Good for them.

They don’t care. They don’t care that the Supreme Court ruled 9-0 to bring an innocent man home to his family. They don’t care. They think it’s funny.
