How to Get Rid of "Citizens United" We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.

The Citizens United decision has corrupted our government and is destroying our democracy. Here's a way to get rid of it. robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-get...

NEWS: U.S. companies have announced over 1.1 million layoffs in 2025, the highest total since the pandemic-hit year of 2020, according to a report from Challenger, Gray & Christmas

This makes my blood run cold.

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream.

Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.

Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

It's probably true, and a good way of determining which businesses should not be in business.

The boats the regime is claiming are going from Venezuela to the US would need to refuel over 20 times to get to Miami.

They are lying to us.

With temperatures dropping and snow in the forecast, New Yorkers struggling to afford the rising cost of heat can now apply for assistance from the HEAP program.

Current US Policy:

If you’re suspected of trafficking a small amount of drugs with no evidence, we will murder you, but if you’re convicted of trafficking an enormous amount of drugs with copious evidence, we will pardon you. Because we are currently a very stupid country.

GEORGE WILL: “.. The killing of the survivors by this moral slum of an administration should nauseate Americans. A nation incapable of shame is dangerous, not least to itself.”

TN07 is a story about gerrymandering: the GOP cracked Nashville into 3 districts when it redrew the 2022 map, destroying the Dem seat there.

Fast-forward: a section of Nashville, which just 5 years ago had a Dem representative, is now voting Dem by huge margins but it's been designed to not matter.

Men congratulating themselves for "ending" a war on women as they are currently waging a war on women's ability to control their own bodies, find work that pays a living wage, afford health care, afford child care, afford food, and afford shelter. This is Animal Farm drama at its finest.

RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women".

Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

dɯnɹʇ's an Epic, (twice in our country's history-level,) Fückup.

You have the right to record ICE.

You have the right to film any operation happening in public as long as you do not interfere or impede it.

Your camera is proof, but keep a safe distance. KEEP RECORDING.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

One Afghan immigrant shoots two National Guard members, MAGA insists that all immigration from "Third World" (Read: Brown countries) is immediately and permanently halted.
Young white American males gun down dozens of school children each year, MAGA insists we make it easier for them to get guns.

The usual disgusting and absolutely meaningless, hysteria, hyperbole, & hypocrisy. Noem, Bondi, Hegseth, Leavitt, Patel, Trump, et al…are corrupt, incompetent & dysfunctional. These people are nothing but grotesque empty shells of their own delusions & crudely self-created caricatures of themselves.

This kind of performative nonsense will not last one day in lady prison.

And this qualifies as 'transparency' these days.

#WorldAIDSDay We’ve lost do many friends & relatives to AIDS. Today we remember their talent & beauty & kindness. I was honored to be Rock Hudson’s date to a Lifetime Achievement Award. A gracious & lovely gentleman. We’ve lost so many, but also made so much progress #BeKind #ReachOut 💔

Remember in May when Trump gave asylum to 17 family members of the Sinaloa cartel after making a deal with El Chapo’s son? And did you know in 2013, El Chapo bribed Juan Hernandez- who trump just pardoned - in exchange for protection in Honduras? I’m sure it’s all just a coincidence.

Take a moment to watch performance artist Guillaume Juncar. You won’t regret it.

The wholesale murder of people in international waters, without due process, is a crime.

If left unchecked, it will lead to more such crimes.

This is how things work.

Letting them get away with it is the same as giving them permission to keep doing it.

This World AIDS Day, we remember the hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers lost to HIV and AIDS, and those living with HIV today. We must remind ourselves and each other that the fight isn’t over until the epidemic is over for everyone.

Imagine what it does to morale in the military to see the defense secretary hang an admiral out to dry to avoid responsibility for war crimes.
