A thought-provoking talk (15 min.) youtu.be/Ab-Q-Ta91u8?...

What an asshole move by the #UCP. #abpoli #ableg #AISH

Social Security is the largest source of income for most beneficiaries — and it keeps 22 million people out of poverty. Meanwhile, Trump’s billionaire Commerce Secretary says that seniors won’t care if they don’t receive their benefits. Government for the rich, by the rich.

An excellent interview. (43 mins.) youtu.be/fgx2xH8iMjM?...

Ex-BBC presenter exposes how the BBC gets you to care about Israeli victims, but not Palestinians. This, from @karishmapatel.bsky.social, is so revealing.

This Paul Weiss capitulation is the most disgraceful action by a major law firm in my lifetime, so appalling that I couldn’t believe it at first. Any lawyers at that firm—partners or associates—who don’t promptly resign will defile their moral and professional reputations beyond repair.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

They will never be forgotten Donald, no matter how hard you try.

A powerful speech by Chris Hedges. (38 mins.) youtu.be/_KCOl7KMx0E?...

AOC slammed Mike Johnson, saying: “You run the government. If you have the votes, then go ahead. If you need Democrats, then you need to negotiate with Democrats. Those are your two options. Blaming someone else because your shoes are untied isn’t one.”

Clark and others at the Army Corps were instructed to go through social media posts to scrub DEI: words and ideals “that I have been taught my whole entire career were important and is what the Navy and made our country stronger.” And then she was fired... www.kansascity.com/news/politic...

Too bad Uvalde Elementary didn’t sell Teslas.

Mahmoud Khalil should be at home with his pregnant wife. Instead, he's been illegally abducted & had his constitutional right to free speech & due process stripped. We're demanding his immediate release and we cannot allow this abuse of power to go unchecked. #FreeMahmoudKhalil

Go Sweden! 🇸🇪

Oh Canada, I adore you.

@joycewhitevance.bsky.social: "I continue to think that we are in the middle of a soft coup. The military is not out on the streets...But what we are seeing is someone who is attacking all of the norms and institutions of government." Watch the full interview: youtu.be/wL04uJ9W5kM

The Trump administration is escalating its attacks on students and immigrants. DHS just arrested Columbia student activist Mahmoud Khalil — a lawful permanent resident — inside his own building. His wife is eight months pregnant. DHS and Trump do NOT have the power to revoke a green card. 🧵

TBH, I kind of thought my 60s would be about painting & making cool instead of thinking about my response to an impending invasion.

The City of Sun Prairie has become the first municipality in Wisconsin to achieve 100% renewable energy. Their next goal: carbon neutrality by 2050. Recently I introduced a bill with State Representative Supreme Moore Omokunde to commit the entire state to carbon neutrality by 2050.

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025. This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

Any country, corp, org, or individual that uses Starlink is subject to the whims, wishes, demands and insults of The Owner. Do so at your peril.

🚨 PSA for Protesters 🚨

This is very telling. youtube.com/shorts/Z_bnF...

Trump here is is referring to pro-Palestine protests so you won’t hear a peep from conservatives or even pro-Israel liberals. But just imagine if this was Biden referring to ‘illegal protests’ by conservative students or pro-life groups. Free speech brigade would be going mad!
