The pace at which US wealth concentration is rising is simply staggering

The concentration of AI wealth into the hands of a few tech barons + plutocratic capture ==> unchartered territory

Labor Leader Arrested In ICE Raid Says It’s Time To Go 'On Offense' Against Trump Now awaiting trial, David Huerta says he refuses to "bend the knee" and stay silent on the president's immigration crackdown.

I spoke with SEIU’s David Huerta, who was arrested in an ICE raid last year and awaits trial.

He says it’s time to go “on offense.”

“Should we use a general strike as a tool? Absolutely. We should be prepared to use that tool because our democracy is worth it.”

Poll: 70% of Maryland Democratic primary voters back redistricting amid Senate opposition A new poll finds 70% of likely Maryland Democratic primary voters support mid-decade redistricting, even as Senate leaders oppose taking it up.

I was told "dig up, stupid" was not an acceptable comment on the record so I cleaned it up for publication www.baltimoresun.com/2026/02/13/p...

This is something the Nazis used to do to Jewish children in the camps. It happened to a man I knew when he was a child in Auschwitz. The camp guards thought it was funny as hell.

It's urgent that we elect Democrats who embrace the "you can just do things" view of public policy. Defund the stormtroopers. Jail the leaders. Pack the courts. Do not ask for permission.

This is indeed broadly true of rent-stabilized landlords in NYC when they lobby against things like rent freezes or low proposed annual increases. “Rising costs” in general audience stories about this almost always describe those as, like, maintenance or wages. But it’s mostly debt-servicing.

being a Nazi in Montgomery County of all places is so pathetic. just constantly sniveling and hiding and doing little graffiti swastikas under cover of night because you know it's a whole county of immigrants and Black folks and Muslims and Jews and we will fuck you up

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."
