After Trump, we must work toward the greatest progressive era this country has seen to tackle the major economic divides.

Local zoning is the way! A lot of these are being stopped or stalled by neighborhood organizing.

These warehouses often need to be purchased, permitted, approved for occupancy and specs. Each one of those steps can be interrupted.

Ppl are pressuring corps not to sell, counties to deny permits, etc

Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA.

I officially left X today - help me find my MA people?

Amazon's tax bill plunges after GOP tax cuts The 87 percent drop is largely due to a more generous depreciation break in the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act.'

Trump is giving tax cuts to Bezos but none to you.

Hey y'all, I thought I was signed up to @atrupar.com substack, but I wasn't. Which means I've been benefiting from his tireless work providing direct evidence of Trump's shitshow for free.

I have corrected my mistake. If you enjoy his work, throw him six bucks.

The era of CBS News as a journalistic beacon of integrity is over due in large part to Bari Weiss.

Her reign has brought censorship, bowing, and surrendering to the Trump administration.

Prince Andrew's Arrest Across the pond in Britain, justice and accountability is a serious matter

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647.

Censorship Comes for Stephen Colbert The latest dustup between the talk-show host and CBS should be concerning for people of any political leaning.

Up front Elllison can hire whoever he wants - but this is what concerns a lot of us

Colbert posted the interview online. I do wonder if CBS and the FCC are aware of the Streisand effect? The interview has been up for 8 hours and has just over half a million views.

"I don't see any reason why we can't do what we did with opiates, what we did with tobacco. We need to regulate Big Tech," Scott Galloway tells Tim Miller. "All the problems you're talking about are fixable, and the illusion of complexity is what Big Tech wants you to be overrun with."

Shouldn’t Senate Dems introduce legislation providing full funding TSA, Coast Guard, FEMA, etc.β€”and no new funding for ICE and CBP?

Seems like pretty good ground to fight on.

Offer to come back and pass it Tuesday.
