A stunning assault on the First Amendment Before Rubio's confirmation, senators and pundits acted as though he was a "sane," "rational," "normal," "moderate" nominee. He's constantly showing himself to be a right-wing extremist.

Delaware Democrats just caved to corporations and billionaire CEOs. SB 21, ghostwritten by Tesla and Meta lawyers, makes it harder to hold corporations accountable for a range of misconduct. As billionaires destroys the federal government, why are state Dems playing along?

DOGE isn't just cutting vital government services. Each federal job loss could also result in the loss of at least one additional worker in the private sector. Working people having less money in their pockets to spend stifles local economies. What’s “efficient” about that?

Being snatched off the street for your opinions. I'll say it again. We are deciding, right now, whether the aspirations we hold for this country are finished. Whether we're going to let these hoodlums and grifters throw what's left of the American idea into the garbage for their own profit and gain.

STRESS KILLS. 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, struggling every day to keep their families going. The result: working class people die 7 years earlier than the rich. We need an economy that works for all, not just the few.

I've said this before, but the problem is Democrats think they're fighting a policy battle when they're fighting a political one. Schumer thinks a shutdown would be worse, but what he fails to understand is that total opposition to Trump is the only way to communicate the emergency we're in.

It's really important going forward to de-center people who voted for Tr*mp. They need to be de-centered. If they want to join in anti-fascist struggle, they can. But the focus needs to be on others especially those who will be most hurt by what's to come.

The eventual goal of Tech CEOs is a return of feudalism, in the form of the Company Town. Full stop - they want a return to the days when they had serfs, not workers who can do silly things like "take sick days," or "ask for a raise," or "quit."

Thread worth reading. Assuming it's true, it's just one more way the U.S. is now at odds with the UK and EU. They simply cannot share intelligence with the U.S. anymore. We're functioning as adversaries. This places the U.S. in significant danger.
