Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari is sounding the alarm on Trump. She’s stating this shouldn’t be happening here in America. Unfortunately, as I have said so many times - I no longer recognize the United States.

Why Graham Platner is a working-class impersonator And why the online left can’t see it.

I joined a Common Defense online meeting featuring Platner back before the tattoo show-and-tell and, despite knowing nothing about him, had my doubts. Told my husband that something was off, but we’d see. As always, Stoehr articulates it well. www.editorialboard.com/why-graham-p...

So, does anyone believe the golly-we-lost-some-data-during-shutdown jobs report? 😒

Past is prologue.

In 1933, during the Great Depression, a group of wealthy businessmen tried to overthrow the US government and install a fascist dictator to protect their own interests.

And everything that led to it feels way too familiar right now.

This is not a history lesson, it’s a warning.

“If you’re quiet now, you would’ve been quiet in 1940.”

A wise man once said: “There are no others.”
Whatever we consent to for “others” we have also agreed to for ourselves.
I absolutely will die on this hill.
Rights are for everyone or they are not certain for anyone.
Is it really so difficult to treat others as you wish to be treated?

@lawyers4goodgov.bsky.social What happens to a person living in another country with a US passport if their passport is declared invalid? Will they be asked to leave that country?

Or the wealthy. Be rich or die. Fun.

Michiganders are sharing their health insurance premiums increases with me… not 10% or 20%, but in one example - $200/month to $2900/month.

Republicans have tried to kill the ACA more than 70 times since 2010, and have never once had a plan for anything better.

They’ve been told they are immune from prosecution.

Of course they know. It isn’t an exception but by design. I believe this is the same blueprint used for ICE detention centers. They tell us to look away - don’t. apnews.com/article/isra...

A two panel line drawn cartoon. First panel, the internet in 1969. One figure says "Let's create a distributed network so it can survive a nuclear winter". The second panel titled the internet in 2021 a different figure says "Let's host half of it in one company and see how it goes"

This cartoon gets more and more relevant with every passing day

Same place, only without collective bargaining.

The Guardian view on Cop30: someone has to pay for the end of the oil and gas age | Editorial Editorial: The fossil-fuel era is drawing to a close, but at a pace far too slow for the planet’s good or a fair transition to a clean energy future

“The sums at stake are eye-popping. Last year, developing countries argued for $1.3tn a year in climate finance – the minimum they say is needed to fund resilience and basic infrastructure.”
