New in PN: AOC shows how to fight back and stand strong "Prominent figures standing up can undermine the climate of fear that MAGA relies on to impose terror. AOC’s work on behalf of her constituents and refusal to be intimidated are models of resistance other Democrats would do well to imitate."

So have we all learned that obscene corporate profits are tied to racism misogyny and discrimination or do we need the billionaires and fascists to explain it more fully

“That is why Trumpists are so focused on “ending DEI” in the federal workforce. They see anti-discrimination and inclusion as a ladder of upward mobility for people they do not believe should have one.”

By the way, the detail from an AI-using teacher: 161 students in classes of 36+, is enraging. You wonder why students are writing less? Because infrastructure and decision-makimg kneecaps good instruction at every turn.

Gov. Mills showed precisely the sort of integrity in the face of political pressure that the majority of the party currently lacks. More importantly, she did so extemporaneously and without hesitation from a purple state where this isn't a universally popular position. www.maine.gov/governor/mil...

ProPublica is recording the casualties of the DOGE purge, highlighting the scale of what is being lost as public health programs and seasoned experts are caught in the Trump administration’s blunt-force drive to shrink the federal government.

A terrific conversation if you want to get under the hood as to what Democratic Congresspeople are thinking right now. They also make a terrific point here, right now the world needs a “NATO of Truth“ that includes citizens, politicians, journalists, whistleblowers, etc. ✊

Remarkable: Trump's own pollster just found that in swing House districts, Dems lead by 5 points and voters want tax policy to prioritize working people, per Politico. Yet GOP is about to brutally slash the safety net and give the rich huge tax cuts! New piece: newrepublic.com/article/1918...

Not an exaggeration. We are living through a geopolitical earthquake and the future of the planet depends on people recognizing that and, sadly, that the United States government is no longer on the side of democracy, the rule of law, the international order, progress, security or decency.

Yes, we are forced to explain this. Teachers have been having to stand up at Board of Ed meetings and explain it for decades.

Republicans want to pass a bill that would disenfranchise someone you know. The SAVE Act is the GOP’s attempt at mass voter suppression disguised as an election integrity bill — and we need to get loud to stop it: indivisibleteam.medium.com/maga-has-a-b...

Google removed this fron search results and who knows what else. 🤔 Free link: archive.ph/2024.12.23-0... Another reason, among many, why it's time to leave Google and all its permutations, especially it's Search product. Add in the AI stuff and Google Search is fully FUBAR at this point.

Whether or not the J6 choir ends performing there or not, it is time to boycott the Kennedy Center. It is now a purely political enterprise having been hijacked to support an anti-democracy, white supremacist, anti-American agenda. Attending and supporting the institution is aiding that agenda.

Times have been tough in this Ohio town since they closed the old blood & soil factory. So when Steve Bannon and Elon Musk promised to bring back Heil Hitler salutes, they finally had something to cheer about. But now the woke mob wants to take all that away.

Correct. Nursing homes that provide long term care (LTC) cost more than $10k per month. After most folks spend down their assets on care, Medicaid will find you a bed in a home and pay for your care. It’s not perfect, but it is better than just being left to die. R’s want to end this service

While the United States spent less than $100 billion in military, economic, and humanitarian support for Ukraine over 3 years, US arms sales across the globe have skyrocketed directly as a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, an increase of $300 billion just in 2023/2024.

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.
