The wealthy have intentionally destroyed class consciousness so that they can exploit the vast majority of people. If we’re going to fight back and ultimately win this class war, it’s time we got familiar with how our politics actually work. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/a-thorough...

This is so bad. Worse than people can imagine. When you work in our systems, you're generally working in dozens of separate programs that interact with the COBOL architecture. Every one of those would need to be rebuilt. Even if they succeed in migrating, no one would be able to do their jobs.

The inept coward has cancelled his book tour. Much like Republicans who won't face their constituents at town hall meetings, he's too chickenshit to have his rarified air sullied by the intrusions of everyday people's concerns, fears, and anguish at his ineptitude and weakness.

This is a really good summary of the whole Trump tariff clown show in a way that probably only the Canadian Broadcasting Corp cld do. Not like aggressive, just a dispassionate and very clarifying. Even elegant. Quite good. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHoZ...

If the corruption and capture of the Supreme Court wasn't already obvious, Trump's interaction with Roberts and Kavanaugh last night leaves no doubt.

If you're wondering about the vibe in Canada right now, I just got served this ad for a brewhouse that is just a portrait of the White House being burned down. No text, just a bigass picture of the White House burning and a link directly to their menu lolol

Hundreds of workers at the CDC. More than 1,000 at the NIH. Scores of staffers at the FDA. Trump’s purge of federal employees includes those doing lifesaving work. Many of them expressed fear at what would happen to the projects they left behind. By @anniewaldman.bsky.social & @deldeib.bsky.social

Disgraceful and thuggish spectacle from Trump & Vance, proving to the world they're nothing less than Putin's assets. Regardless of what one thinks of Volodymyr Zelenskyy's politics, he undoubtedly has more courage in his right pinky than these two loathsome pieces of shit. Stand with Ukraine!

A preventable tragedy that's on the hands of Robert Kennedy Jr., Joe Rogan, and anyone who has disseminated anti-vax bullshit, period. The outbreak in Texas is now spreading north into New Mexico and threatening to spread into Oklahoma.

it is pretty striking that despite a wholesale abandonment of Reagan foreign policy, aesthetics, etc, domestically the GOP is still doing the exact same 1980s routine of robbing the poor to give to the rich slate.com/news-and-pol...

MSNBC = MSDNC They're purging the progressives at MSNBC. Ayman is really the only honest journalist covering Palestine in the American mainstream press, and the cancellation comes the day after he interviewed The Lever's Dave Sirota, a fierce left critic of the Democrats. Will Chris Hayes be next?

Three Cheers for Chris Kluwe! Instead of press releases and stale speeches no one reads or listens to, this is what Democratic politicians should be doing.

The Trump-Musk-Republican death cult is trying to kill you. NIH cuts billions in biomedical funding, effective immediately: The move halts large slice of money for most universities and research institutions virtually overnight, imperiling vital research in everything from cancer to heart disease.

In chaotic Washington blitz, Elon Musk’s ultimate goal becomes clear: Shrink government, control data and -- according to one official closely watching the billionaire’s DOGE -- replace “the human workforce with machines.”

"WIRED has identified six young men—all apparently between the ages of 19 and 24, according to public databases, their online presences, and other records—who have little to no government experience and are now playing critical roles in Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency project"

"In just the past few days, Musk’s hand-picked agents have seized control of Treasury’s 6 trillion payment system, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), and the General Services Administration (GSA)—institutions that, together, function as the central nervous system of the U.S. government."

You can't make this shit up. "A letter submitted to the U.S. Senate that states it was sent by physicians in support of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s nomination as secretary of HHS includes the names of doctors who have had their licenses revoked, suspended or faced other discipline." . . .
