In order for this much corruption and authoritarianism to take hold, it is important we recognize how broken the system was to get here. If we resist and pervail, we can not merely go back to what was before.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Guys, I love all of you, but the answer to RFK, Jr. is not that autistic adults hold jobs, pay taxes, and get laid, it's that everyone deserves to live even if they can't work, pay taxes, or get laid.

I don't understand how some folks are unable to see that the illegal disappearing of people is a class issue. The wealthy and well-connected get due process. The rest of us don't. This is part of the oligarchy, not a distraction from it.

Online shopping is devastating our town squares, city services, & local economies. Localities are largely funded by sales tax revenues, yet malls are empty, stores are closing, & small businesses struggle to put food on their tables. Shop Local. Shop Small Business. It is more important than ever.

I hate Trump, but I also hate fat shaming and people asuming things about people's health. There is so much to focus on. Shut up about his height and weight.

Major alert: Montana may be about to pass a major anti-trans bill that charges parents with felony endangerment of a child if their child is on trans youth care. It would apply to parents just passing through the state, visiting. Would be the first law of its kind to pass anywhere. Vote is TODAY.

So Trump has raised all these tariff taxes. Now imagine a Trump-chartered government company, and Trump giving it an exemption -- letting it sell things tariff-free. Imagine how angry you would be at that Trump entity. I've now just described what led to the Boston Tea Party.

It’s a recalibration of economic control. Oligarchs don’t live paycheck to paycheck. They have the capital to buy market dips and recoup faster, acquiring more assets at fire sale prices along the way. When the dust finally settles, they will own more. The rest of us will own less. A lot less.

I don't know, call me a commie or something, but post after post of people obsessively predicting the stock market crashing in the morning is nauseating to me. The economy hasn't been working for the vast majority of us for a very long time. The status quo brought us to this. We need real change.

As President Donald Trump’s tariffs set in, it may well be time to say goodbye to the under-$30,000 car.

“Sewing your own clothes to avoid tariffs” seems like a good idea until you realize it’s very expensive, takes a ton of time, and just about every component — from fabric and thread to sewing machines — are made abroad. I do think this is a great time to learn how to mend clothes, though!

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

Some voters got mad about people listing their pronouns, so now we're sending law-abiding, legal immigrants to torture prisons and being hit with the largest middle class tax hike in at least 40 years.

It has now been 30 days with NO humanitarian aid getting into Gaza. No food, no water, no medicine, no fuel. That is barbaric. The U.S. must end our complicity in these atrocities.

One of the big jokes about Trump "protecting women's sports" from trans people is that women's sports is maybe the most progressive institution in American public life

You will have to forgive me for missing the April 5th protests. My son is debuting his high school senior Advanced Placement Art gallery. So proud. If you have protests this weekend instead, share the details, especially any on Cesar Chavez Day.
