"No republic has ever survived this level of inequality for long and remained a republic." - Pete Buttigieg

Hi, I'm God. Human beings should not be thrown into prisons without due process. Even Jesus got a hearing.

Yes

Al gore is pissed off and I’m here for it

Shopping at Walmart will soon feel like viewing a minimalist art exhibit on failed trade policy.

This tiny speck holds everything we love. And most of it is covered by the Ocean. Happy #EarthDay 🌊🩵🌍

This #EarthDay2025 seems a good moment to share some Gerard Manley Hopkins: “What would the world be, once bereft Of wet and of wildness? Let them be left, O let them be left, wildness and wet; Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet”

This can’t be stated enough

Share if you agree with AOC: "We must get big money out of politics and make clear that our country is not for sale."

Where is Mitt Romney? Where is Bush? Where is Bill Clinton? Why are they not speaking out?

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez pulled in a massive fundraising haul amid progressive calls for her to launch a 2028 primary challenge against Sen. Chuck Schumer

AOC: We saw Majorie Taylor Greene buy that dip. How much did you make? How much did you make off of people’s despair? How much did you make off of that panic? How much did you make off of that suffering? No more. We can’t accept it

AOC: I was watching earlier today on TV, someone was saying, “Why are AOC and Bernie going to Idaho?” I’ll give you one simple answer: It’s because you matter

The wealthy few use "scarewords" to control and advance their power.

Today in California. They truly care…

There has never been and never will be a birthrate induced shortage of human beings on this planet. There are many reasons one might want children, as I do. It is simply not the case that anyone in particular has a responsibility to consider having children to perpetuate the existence of humanity.

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024. This isn't due to luck or skill. Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

It's long past time to ban insider trading in Congress.

of course he did.

In the interest of balance #news

I am truly honoured to have the endorsement of Grand Chief Stewart Phillip. His unwavering commitment to justice and reconciliation has been a powerful force for change. I’m proud to stand alongside him as we work together for a better future.

Where is Bangladesh going to get the money. What did they do wrong except sell stuff to the US that was happy to buy it.

Mark Kelly: "This is not surprising. Here's a guy who told Americans to inject bleach into their bodies, who sent a mob to Capitol Hill. And now I think it's fair to say he stands out as singlehandedly destroying more wealth with his bad decisions than anybody else who has ever lived on this planet"

WHAT THE F**K!

a good laugh on a dark day

I lost my job, my kids have measles, and I had to drive my parents 200 miles to a Social Security office, but at least I know that immigrants are getting sent to torture prisons in El Salvador.

D.A.R.E. to keep oligarchs off drugs!

You know things are bad when Mike Pence is the voice of reason

We’ve got 5 big banks, 3 telecom giants, and a cartel of grocery barons hoarding billions—while people in Vancouver are crushed by rent and food costs. The money’s there. Time to tax the profiteers and house the people. #VanCentre #vanpoli #cdnpoli #vancouver #RentControlNow

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory. Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

Today is World Autism Awareness Day, and I want to speak from the heart as a parent of a neurodiverse kid. Everybody in the disability rights community knows that our kids don’t have the legal protections that would guarantee the support and services they need.

Florida gun laws: “So, you just flew in today from Idaho and need a scoped AK-47 and full body armor? Will that be cash or credit?”

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, like Donald Trump; the strength to change the things I can, like the channel when he's on TV; and the wisdom to know his bullshit about a third term isn't worth losing sleep over.

Here is my best guidance for action, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons more than eight years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century." snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

Why aren’t you wearing a suit? Have you said “Thank you” to Greenland and Denmark for allowing you to have a base on Greenland?

laughing out loud

seems like lots of people do.

America taking over Greenland is a foolish idea. America destroying its relationship with Canada is utter idiocy. America applying tariffs and engaging in trade wars with neighbors is economic nonsense. A lunatic is holding America hostage and his enablers are making fools of themselves.

Canada is facing a serious housing crisis. We’re losing affordable homes faster than we're building them. Skyrocketing rents, renovictions, and insecure tenancies have become all too common. New Democrats will take bold action to treat housing as a human right, not a commodity.
