Daily reminder, If a politician says he is for the working middle class families yet votes No to everything brought forth to assist those people, he is in fact NOT for the middle class families.

“Air pollution fell substantially as [Paris] restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.” Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability & quality of life. Such an obvious no-brainer, it’s remarkable that so many cities HAVEN’T done the same.

Several of you have asked me how to live in a nation whose leader has embraced cruelty as public policy. How do we inhabit Trump’s America without becoming complicit in this cruelty? Some thoughts... robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-tho...

On April 26, rural civic leaders, rural organizers, and rural Democrats will gather to develop strategies for opposing Trump and Musk's take-over and outline steps we all can take at the local level to rebuild the Democratic Party from the bottom up. Join us! us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Make it make sense

Eugenicists are so stupid.

Most of the damage caused by Trump's tariff plan will not be undone by its pause, Rogé Karma writes. “The world has seen things it cannot unsee”:

A president who has the power to send an innocent human being to a foreign concentration camp, but claims he lacks the power to bring them back, is committing the crime of false imprisonment.

AOC: How can anyone possibly make an objective vote on healthcare, energy, or war when their personal wealth is tied up in pharmaceutical, oil and gas, or defense company stock?

Trump's EPA just moved to reverse state and local bans on toxic "forever chemicals" that can lead to birth defects and cancer.  So much for "Make America Healthy Again." https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/apr/05/trump-pfas-toxic-forever-chemicals

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.

Buckle up, folks. This is a constitutional crisis unfolding before our eyes.

Donald Trump is dismantling the foundations of American science—and in turn jeopardizing the AI boom he purports to champion, writes Matteo Wong:

77 million people voted for deregulation (Trump). Did they know they were also voting for pollution, cancer, and climate chaos loved ones and future generations? We can now be poisoned on purpose—without a check.

Hmmm... This sounds familiar.. as in other red states or 2?

The Felon President is condemning ‘waste’ and firing workers and trying to slash Medicaid – while cashing in by traveling to his own golf resorts and over-charging secret service to stay there. Read more here: bit.ly/4imHMET #DonTheCon

The U.S. House of Representatives voted Thursday to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, a major voter suppression measure that, if it becomes law, could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters and badly undermine U.S. democracy.

Under the Trump administration, America is retreating from hard power, surrendering soft power, and yielding economic power, David A. Graham writes in The Atlantic Daily. Is this what greatness looks like?

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made. -FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.

Scoop: Fox News has been all in on Trump’s trade tariffs, hailing them as bold, America-first measures to resurrect domestic manufacturing. But as it turns out, the network is itself manufacturing its merchandise abroad. Details in Status: www.status.news/p/fox-news-s...

MAGA created this site to show us what businesses are against diversity, equity and Inclusion. Shop wisely. Be selective. 😉https://www.publicsquare.com/marketplace

Jeanine: We found out there are people who are between the ages of one and four who are getting social security Jessica: That's the benefit for kids whose parents are dead.

Are you trying to make sense of the so-called SAVE Act, why it’s so dangerous to our democracy, and what you can do to fight back? Check out the FAQ live I did earlier today with the Fair Fight team.

You couldn’t make the corruption any clearer. Every member of Congress should disclose their trades in the market this week, effective immediately.

Again, you can tell who the Good Guys are because they’re the ones getting caught sneaking into elementary schools, lying that the kids’ parents sent them. bsky.app/profile/prem...

This law WILL make it harder for married women to vote. The goal is always to limit power to themselves. "The 19th might have to go" ~ John McEntee 19thnews.org/2025/04/save...

And for people who thought Mel Gibson was "not that bad" or "not that crazy"...

💥 "90 day delay except China" was leaked 1 day before the actual announcement. This is the biggest insider trading scheme in history.

Trump is creating giant market fluctuations with his on-again, off-again tariffs. These constant gyrations in policy provide dangerous opportunities for insider trading. 🧵

“Mommy, no. Mommy.” Daughter captures the moment masked ICE agents smash the window of her mother's car in order to take her into custody. The government claims the 52-year old seamstress is an associate of the MS-13 gang. www.thebaltimorebanner.com/community/lo...

Watching bad politics makes me think about what good politics would look like… actl.ink/daosbsen4325... youtu.be/Yi8sV888b8E

We found the government “waste, fraud, and abuse”.

The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%.  That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class. The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

Trump is trying to deregulate crypto as his personal businesses get more involved in the industry. He also just gutted the DOJ team that investigates crypto fraud. This may be one of most overt conflicts of interest in presidential history and it's hardly a blip on the news.

Netanyahu loves Trump's plan to force 2 million people from Gaza & turn it into a billionaires’ Riviera. He calls it "voluntary migration.” It's not voluntary if you bomb & starve those who stay. It’s ethnic cleansing. It's a war crime. No more military aid to Netanyahu.
