A year ago yesterday was a very happy day for me. I had lost my prostate. It was good riddance, as it was riddled with cancer. I’m now cancer-free — and thankful for the tax-funded technology that saved my life.

Mabel & I hope all our fellow Californians vote YES on Prop. 50!

For professional reasons I should have listened to that "antifa summit" yesterday, but I learned here DHS Sec. Noem, the govt's authoritative voice on such matters, said -- literally -- 'antifa' is just as organized, sophisticated, and dangerous as Hezbollah, ISIS, or Hamas.

Speaker Johnson and Republicans continue to ignore the concerns of military families — like the brave service-member’s wife who told the Speaker this morning that their refusal to act will have devastating impacts on her family.

Nothing says America First like bailing out Argentina while making healthcare unaffordable for 20+ million Americans.

Or signing an Article 5 protection treaty with Qatar coz they bribed you with a plane, while screwing over longstanding NATO allies.

Folks, I think America First might be a scam.

this one! Jedi rising!

Republicans refuse to negotiate with @housedemocrats.bsky.social to extend the health care tax credits — risking the health and lives of millions of Americans. They would rather shut down the government than make health care affordable and accessible for the people.

🚨 This is the spectrum of humanity; we see the dregs with these bounty hunters who earn from human trafficking, and we see those with decency, who stand up for those who have no voice. All of us with privilege have this responsibility. RISE UP! 1/2

If this were discovered in a leaked email and published in the New York Times, it might get more attention. But Trump just tweets it out, and most people move on with their day. This is blatant corruption. Blatant weaponization. It is undeniably an impeachable offense.

I DISSENT.

We live in a country where 6 members of the highest court of the land decided it’s ok to profile immigrants based on the color of their skin or the language they speak.
I DISSENT.

Sen. Warren Daniel (R–NC, District 46) was caught trading stocks right on the Senate floor.

Didn’t even wait for a break. Playing the market on the taxpayers’ time…pure abuse of power.

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024.

Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay.

The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year.

Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M

See the problem?

Fake crime emergencies in blue cities to see if the public will put with a militarization of America.

With a final goal of doing away with free and fair elections.

This is so important…

Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles.

In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected.

REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency.

The Trump Admin is once again putting profit over people. This time, by trying to give away Oak Flat—2,400 acres of sacred land—to a foreign mining giant.

This isn’t just an attack on Indigenous sovereignty. It’s a threat to our environment, our economy, and our national security.

🇺🇸 National Guard soldier speaks out: “I swore an oath to defend our constitution… seeking refuge is not an act of violence. Locking people up for it is.”

And we keep them right alongside the "Pee Pee" tapes!

Happy Friday to everyone who might be concerned that he has possession of the nuclear codes, blames the messenger for tanking the economy & would gladly pardon a monster to save his own thin orange skin.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Jason Delgado (Florida Capitol reporter for Spectrum News 13) on X: "Quick look at what inside a detainment tent looks like here at Alligator Alcatraz." What is shown in the picture is a long tent structure, about 50 feet wide. There is a corridor running down the middle. On each side are three rows of bunk beds. The bunk beds are sectioned off into cells which are constructed out of chain link fence, with chain link on the ceiling as well, making each cell a literal cage. It looks to me like each cell contains 9 bunk beds, so has capacity for 18 people each.

Literal cages. Not even metaphorical ones. Literal ones.

How messed up do you have to be to say that stripping health coverage from up to 16 million people, removing food from kids, and raising taxes on some low-income people is “immaterial”?

Grey sky in the background with palm trees. A billboard is in the center of the photo. Two poles hold it up, and a light brown base sits underneath the sign. The billboard has a white background with black text that reads wages too low? cost of living too high? general strike. generalstrike US dot com. Paid for by the General Strike U.S.

A billboard a comrade got up in 2023. We have been preparing for a general strike for years, but it requires all of us to take initiative. No matter who you are or what you do, there is room for everyone in this movement. We only win by coming together in radical solidarity. All power to the people!

Los Angeles is under attack. 😢
