The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice. The result is demagoguery and corruption.

Wise man…

Donald Trump replacing a black four-star general with a white three-star general as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is everything MAGA claims they hate about DEI: giving a less qualified person the job based on their race, not their resume.

that Trumpers think the US Postal *SERVICE* should be a profit-making enterprise exposes the fallacy in their conception of government

The poster child for white male mediocrity, Pete Hegseth, is firing qualified Black men and women from the military.

All this bullshit immediately crumbles when it's presented to anyone who's not a sympathetic cohost on your podcast

let me say that this is the classic “just asking questions” approach to delegitimizing the achievements of black people. and critically, you don’t even have to be a black person who talks about race. simply being black to these people means you are “obsessed with race.”

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

200 million dollars of waste.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

It’s crazy how much of the American experiment hinged on the hope that people weren’t absolute pieces of shit

They continue to tell this debunked lie 🤥 for a reason: so when they cut social security to pave the way for their tax cuts for the rich you think they had an actual reason to do it.

Elon’s mass harassment email to all federal employees underscores the importance of having unions to represent workers against abusive management.

Amen to that.

another Nazi salute at CPAC

If members of Congress—like Rep. Grothman —are this clueless about what the man who is dismantling our government is saying and promising, they don’t deserve to keep their jobs! This woman is in his face, begging him to wake TF up—and he just walks off. Pathetic.

He nails it.

- banning books - banning history topics - banning diversity topics - banning and suing the press - Investigating people for teaching others their rights - Investigating people for criticizing unconstitutional acts Trump is killing free speech while telling MAGA he's its savior.

In a small trial, nearly half of pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine had no signs of relapse after three years. Dr. Vinod Balachandran from @mskcancercenter.bsky.social joins us to discuss the results and what they could mean for cancer treatment.

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

I am very politically active and write/call my congressman often. I have lived in his district for almost 2 decades. I have never seen him in person and it’s not for a lack of trying. No town halls. No visiting his district. I’ve never seen hide nor hair of Sam Graves.

This.

We now have a government staffed completely by a 4 Chan message board.

(1) Want to know how the Deomcrats can with the next election in a landslide? Read below. Last night the Dems introduced an ammendment to the budget outline that would make it illegal (or at least limit) for wall street to keep buying homes. The republicans obviously voted against it. So what?

Carville: The key issue is that in this century under Democratic President 50 million jobs have been created. One million jobs under Republicans

Every move that 🟠 has made has weakened the United States of America and strengthened 🇷🇺.

Jasmine Crockett is shredding this solo. But it’s past time for the rhythm section to enter this song already.

Hey everyone! I did an emergency live over on Substack, reminding us all that we will win this thing! Take a look! adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...

Turns out we “deranged” people simply saw the truth clearly.

He's mad his lies about Ukraine were fact-checked by his own website so he wants to change the fact-checking system

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

Hey, look, here’s @chriswarcraft.bsky.social out there walking the walk www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/f...

This is who Republicans just made FBI Director. Kash Patel calls for “offensive operations” to jail Americans who they consider “the enemy.” “We will go out and find the conspirators... Yes, we are going to come after the people in the media”

Leon was so pissed that Judge McConnell freed federal money that he posted a photo of his daughter, her full name, her place of employment, and a signed tax document-ONLINE. Someone capable of that behavior is not selflessly looking out for us.

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors. I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.
