15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment. Today, billionaire political spending is up 160-fold since that ruling. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

Sen. Booker just broke the record for the longest floor speech in Senate history—a record set by Strom Thurmond trying to block the Civil Rights Act. The irony ain’t lost on us. From fighting against justice to fighting for it. This is what courage & being on the right side of history looks like!

We appreciate that Senator Booker is putting in all of this work to get attention where it belongs: The Trump-Musk coup. We don’t want to see Democrats behaving like this dangerous administration is business as usual — we hope more of your colleagues will follow your lead here.

The Trump regime is working to deter dissent. Anyone who goes against Trump could end up on a target list. This is having a chilling effect on five major pillars of society — universities, science, the media, the law, and the arts. It's straight out of the fascist playbook.

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

The Trump regime's repeated attacks on "DEI," "wokeness," and the trans community have one clear purpose: If we are angry at each other, we don't look up to see how big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

This flew under the radar, but Trump revoked a minimum wage hike for companies that contract with the government. An estimated 390,000 workers will now see significant pay cuts. It's not surprising that Trump's populism is fake, but it's hardly ever been more clear.

If you've ever used the Polity data, read this from Monty Marshall. tl;dr Polity is coding recent US events as an executive self-coup and an adverse regime change.

We have to get locally involved and organized. Keep looking for ways. If national and local Dems get going or not, we can be more ready…https://youtu.be/K8AegG5en2g?si=WxEYc7LsynlQgCvB

It’s wild that the man Trump has installed to run the most powerful military in the world is connected to a network of Christians who believe in biblical domination of the world. Here’s a thread on the Christian nationalism surrounding Pete Hegseth. First, meet the TheoBros:
