Fear has a way of being contagious.

But courage is also contagious.

Welcome !

This is the truth. Republicans could put an immediate end to this insanity. They own this.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

SpaceX just landed a $5.92B contract with the Pentagon for Space Force rocket launches — the largest contract among the three firms who secured deals to send satellites into orbit.

While DOGE cuts essential services for you, Musk is getting a taxpayer-funded windfall.

Hello?

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.

Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

If there was ever a time to set precedent, it would be now

I check out the Fox News website almost every day to see what they're up to. I don't encourage you to do the same. Fox is a nonstop pack of lies and distortions designed to make Americans mean, paranoid and traitorous. If this country becomes a dictatorship, Fox will be a primary reason why.

While fallen soldiers returned home, Trump hit the golf course and veterans took notice.

BREAKING — The family abducted by ICE is returning home, per email from Sackets Harbor Superintendent:

So as Justice Sotomayor says, “The implication of the Government’s position is that not only noncitizens but also US citizens could be taken off the streets, forced onto planes, and confined to foreign prisons with no opportunity for redress if judicial review is denied unlawfully before removal"

They’re so authentically concerned about the debt and waste that he’s… raising the military budget to $1 Trillion 🤷🏼‍♂️🫤🤑

The court was packed by Republicans for a moment like this.

As the economic news keeps coming out over the coming weeks keep one thing in mind: this is the fault of one man and didn’t need to happen.

Frustrated with a “no-show” Congress? Blame winner-take-all elections: op-ed Lawmakers, emboldened by their safe seats in gerrymandered districts, have actively limited engagement with their constituents.

When 90% of House races aren’t competitive, representatives don’t need to listen to you.

How did we end up with a “no-show” Congress? Prof. @sltaylor.bsky.social ’s op-ed explains that the problem is our winner-take-all elections.

They arrested and scrutinized Luigi for state terror and murder charges, when the evidence didn’t even line up— while they proudly invite Netanyahu, a genocidal monster, to the White House. This makes perfect sense, if you’re an absolute psychopath.

In fact, it is offensively ridiculous to think that any but a handful of people disappeared by ICE will be able to file habeas corpus, because it relies on them having informed families with connections to available knowledgeable lawyers with time and resources to act instantly.

You’re Goddamn right they should. They were denied due process. That’s a clear violation.

trump’s tariff trash fire and Musk’s DOGE disaster are sinking MAGA. Democrats now have the playbook to finish them.

what a visual

Turns out the answer to the rightwing meme “what is a man?” is “someone who gets fucked to death by Mr. President while applauding.”

“Thank you again. Thank you again. Won’t forget it.”

A photo of the 1912 Lawrence textile strike, where people from 51 different nationalities, most of them immigrants, banded together to demand better wages.

A photo of the 1982 garment workers' strike in NYC Chinatown. A bunch of women are gathered together holding placards that say things like "In Union There is Strength." They were also demanding better wages.

Immigrants have also been at the forefront of the US labor movement. Check out the 1912 Lawrence textile strike ("Bread and Roses Strike") and 1982 garment workers' strike (done by Chinatown workers). I support garment workers *and* immigrants because they're often one and the same.

In most societies, the rich and powerful acceded to the rule of law solely because they realized that, as soon as ordinary people feel they’re getting screwed without any chance of peaceful redress, that’s when you get the pitchfork-wielding mobs.

pretty much everyone in the entire world feeling this right now--

The image is a screenshot of a tweet from Neil Stone (@DrNeilStone ). The tweet reads: "RFK Jr has cut Alzheimers research. ALZHEIMERS. One of the most devastating, urgent and increasing health problems we face today. He’s not interested. He’s a nasty piece of work."

Gen Z and Millennials: In ten years when we’re still without a cure and you’re caring for your parents, remember what he did.
