As a reminder, I pointed this out months ago:

'Blunt Corruption': Trump DOJ Hands Google an Antitrust Win After Tech Giant's Ballroom Donation | Common Dreams Alphabet, Google's parent company, is contributing $22 million to the president's ballroom project.

We're witnessing the culminating rot of shareholder capitalism in real time.

Some of the most powerful corporations in America have sided with an authoritarian regime in order to protect their short term profits — the fundamental rights of everyone else be damned.

Because Trump is using millions of hungry Americans as leverage in his shutdown, SNAP benefits will be late and significantly reduced this month — leaving millions of families at risk. We’re stepping up to support our fellow Americans by donating food, supplies, and funds to local food banks. 👇

Feels like the Democrats should maybe put up a website showing all of the Trump Flight Cancellations?

These people are SO CLOSE to understanding why we should fight global warming... (and possibly also the military industrial complex).

Congress keeps insisting on focusing on absolutely the wrong things, tech policy-wise.

Most proposals are counter-productive harm-CAUSING, if not also outright unconstitutional.

They are very bad at focusing on actual harms and coming up with fixes that won't make things worse.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

Just would like to inform everyone that earlier today I saw a parade of therapy dogs in costume.

ADL removes ‘Protect Civil Rights’ from website as it narrows its mission amid right-wing attacks The removal took place after FBI Director Kash Patel said he would cut ties with the ADL, though it is unclear if that has happened.

there are two schools of thought on protecting Jewish safety in America: we either fight for a pluralistic democracy where we are safe because minority rights are protected or we seek junior partner status in the MAGA white nationalist alliance

the ADL has chosen a side

Make no mistake - this is pure cruelty. They have the ability to prevent this.

YouTube video by Indivisible Tutorial: How to cancel your Spotify subscription

FYI if you have a Spotify membership, Indivisible is asking people to cancel until they stop running ICE recruitment ads. Instructions on how to do it here: www.youtube.com/shorts/TKp7c...

OK folks, here's the deal. Spotify is running ICE recruitment ads and has ignored asks to stop. It's time to tell them we won't stream fascism - by cancelling our subscriptions. Here's how to get started: indivisible.org/cancel-spotify

I took a closer look at the litigation to force Representative-elect Grijalva to be seated.

In short: it's a reasonable attempt.

ICE Is Using a New Facial Recognition App to Identify People, Leaked Emails Show The new tool, called Mobile Fortify, uses the CBP system which ordinarily takes photos of people when they enter or exit the U.S., according to internal ICE emails viewed by 404 Media. Now ICE is usin...

We first revealed Mobile Fortify in June. It takes the CBP system usually used when people enter or exit the US, and puts it into an app to be used on American streets www.404media.co/ice-is-using...

Outside looking in…

Don’t Stream Fascism: Cancel Spotify

Spotify is running recruitment ads for ICE, the federal agency behind mass deportation and surveillance of immigrant communities. Cancel your Spotify subscription.

(next to images of Adelita Grijalva and House Democrats demanding that Grijalva is sworn in) SWEAR IN GRIJALVA NOW!

It’s been over a month since Adelita Grijalva was elected to the House, but Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in — because Grijalva would be the decisive 218th signature to force a vote on releasing the Epstein Files. Take action with our social toolkit: app.sosha.ai/toolkit/adel...

This and the news that Russia tested a nuke-capable drone the other day suggest that Putin is done with detente and planning to go nuclear.

Would be nice if the US was a functioning country that could check him.

Given that Congress earmarked money already, surely someone is going to file suit tomorrow to order it to be spent?

This is arbitrary+capricious and ultra vires behavior for the Department of Agriculture not to spend it.

We all should be reading Arlie Hochchild's book, "Second Shift," or at least not ignoring that it's been out in the world for thirty-five years...

Literature review matters, people!

Don't forget — they're not just buying a ballroom. They're buying Trump's favor. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

and one vote for Mamdani is on the books

With all due respect to my friends who are inhouse counsel with the UC office of the President:

WTF are you thinking if you have anything to do with this???

- Trump has no right to demand any of this.
- And UC Regents has no right to encumber Californians with any of these obligations.

The local activists and organizers who were the beating heart of No Kings Day are continuing to lead the fight on the ground in your community. Check out our map to see what groups are near you and get in touch with your local organizers: indivisible.org/groups

That's not "fraudulent use of deepfakes," that's FREE SPEECH.

This prosecution violates the First Amendment.

So much to say here, but the idea that they would sue over this is beyond ridiculous. There is no legitimate claim here. I'm guessing they're thinking about a publicity rights claim, but that won't fly. California's law exempts political/news usage.

If you don't understand what Citizens United is and why it matters, for the love of Pete, read this write up:

It's one of the most damaging decisions in recent history.

For weeks now California has been looking for civilian poll watching volunteers, probably anticipating these federal hijinks.

I don't think I can do it (bad timing re: chemo cycle) but I think the state is trying to be prepared. Plus there's lots of early voting, with lots of ballot drop-off sites.

For those who live in, or will be visiting Orlando, please stop by and give this restaurant some generous business.
THANK YOU Se7enbites! You rock.
