Rebecca Solnit Says the Left’s Next Hero Is Already Here

"I think the counter to Trump always has been and always will be civil society. A lot of the left wants social change to look like the French Revolution or Che Guevara. Maybe changing the world is more like caregiving than it is like war."- @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social

The foundation of our New Feudalism is based on the myth that wealth signifies intelligence instead of luck. We cannot get out of all our affordability crisis until we create a fair taxation system that taxes wealth rather than wages. Our economy should prioritise labour over capital.

They're stealing the voice of Sinead O'Connor, who risked her own career in 1992 by speaking up about child sexual abuse in the Catholic church, so let's make this theft an occasion to keep talking about Trump in the Epstein files.

Ruben Ray Martinez: Footage shows US citizen shot by ICE agent in Texas traffic stop The Department of Homeland Security did not disclose Martinez was shot by one of its agents until almost a year later.

Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas.

"He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger."

So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right

@corporate.comcast.com really is the worst. You’re the only provider in my neighbourhood and your technicians can’t even get your own devices to work. Your app is a dog vomit & your customer service doesn’t exist. How you are allowed to be accompany at all mystifies me.

Missle-guided religion

I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)

"But, her laugh..."

I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party.

This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.

There has not been a more complicit Congress in the history of the U.S. Every GOP member is now a criminal for not upholding their oaths to The Constitution.

The Department of Justice has sued 30 states and DC for access to their unreacted sensitive voter data. My law firm is fighting them in all 30 cases.

We are dedicating so many resources because these are the most important legal fights and the future of free and fair elections is at stake.

Zohran Mamdani’s Millionaire Tax Is Extremely Popular Taxing the rich in New York, as Zohran Mamdani has proposed, isn’t just right and necessary. New polling shows a strong majority support making the wealthy pay, suggesting that Gov. Kathy Hochul’s refusal to do so is political malpractice.

@schumer.senate.gov Are you guys really gonna confirm another Trump appointee?! Holy cow! These people are fundamentally cruel and if you Democrats in office don’t stop them you are cowards & should resign.

Last year, we documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests — a tactic experts say was rarely used before Trump took office.

ICE claims its officers use a “minimum amount of force.” You can judge for yourself.

Panel reviewing Trump’s $400m White House ballroom postpones vote National Capital Planning Commission cites ‘large amount of public input’, with a majority opposing the plan

A recent analysis by the New York Times found that more than 98% of the roughly 32,000 submitted comments opposed the plan, with respondents describing the proposed design as “gaudy and cheap”.

Nobody earns $1 billion. That is the product of a essentially unfair economic system (New Feudalism!) & of skimming profit of other peoples labor. That you missed asking the right questions shows your venality, lack of awareness, &, frankly, cowardice.

@arimelber.bsky.social The idea that money is a motivator is bullshit. What more can you do with $2 billion than you can do with $1 billion. You didn’t follow up on your question to Blankfein about the morality of wealth. You let him weasel out of an answer. Embarrassing.

On this day in 1985, the USPS issued the Mary McLeod Bethune Stamp. It was the eighth stamp in the Black Heritage Stamp Series.

ICE just grabbed NASHVILLE Noticias reporter Estefany Rodriguez outside of a gym.

“She was with her husband, a 🇺🇸 citizen — her attorney says she came legally, sponsored by her husband, has a pending green card application.”

She also has a daughter.
