Our new resource with State Innovation & @localprogress.bsky.social outlines policies every city & state can adopt to put power back where it belongs: with working people.

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

Hero shit

we’re not doing MeToo again. we’re actually doing something much more sinister called MeThree. just voted on it at the meeting last night. good luck :)

he should be banished from society.

Let's do @harvard.edu next

Some personal news: Regretfully, I will be stepping back from my public commitments for the next ninety minutes while I teach my class.

Per CNN, Elizabeth Warren is calling on Harvard to cut ties with Larry Summers after Jeffrey Epstein's emails released last week by House Dems featured Summers making sexist comments + asking for Epstein’s romantic advice.

Who could have guessed Republicans have never had a plan to lower health care costs for Americans and instead want to make deeper cuts to the ACA & enact dangerous poison pills to the legislation?? So glad we got a pinky promise for a vote on whatever the fuck this is.

Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Think about how much time qualified women spend thinking about email etiquette.

The Trump regime is declaring that funding for the CFPB is illegal.

Remember: This is the agency that protects Americans from financial predators.

Anti-CFPB oligarchs, who spent millions to re-elect Trump, will now have an easier time padding their pockets by ripping you off.

Anyway, here’s a time I got into a fight with Russ Vought on Twitter because he’s actually just a troll

This hair-brained legal theory cropped up after THE SUPREME COURT already ruled that the CFPB's funding structure is constitutional. Russ Vought has been blood-thirsty to destroy the CFPB from the jump, now corporations can crush consumers even more, without recourse.

Fuck Larry Summers

A Yacht for Your Yacht

www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/r...

New york times: A Yacht for Your Yacht Owners of the world’s most conspicuous playthings are younger, wealthier and increasingly American. Today’s superyacht buyers are younger and richer than they were a decade ago, and they’re increasingly American, enriched by the pandemic business boom, a roaring stock market and deep tax cuts. The top 0.1 percent of American households saw their wealth grow by 90 percent, to a collective $23.3 trillion, from the fourth quarter of 2017, when President Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, to the second quarter of 2025, according to the Federal Reserve. Americans for Tax Fairness, a tax policy advocacy group, found that the number of billionaires tracked by Forbes grew by nearly 40 percent, to 905 people, during the same period. “The wealthy became very wealthy in the U.S. You can attribute that to Trump,” said Jan VanHogerwou, an executive at the Dutch shipyard Amels, while standing in front of the 74-meter Casino Royale, the largest vessel at the Fort Lauderdale show, which his company built.

Billionaires in America are richer than they've ever been before.

They're buying yachts for their superyachts.

The rest of us can't afford groceries, rent, or healthcare.

And the people in charge just cut healthcare to give billionaires more tax breaks.

We're being played.

What a time to work in national politics amirite?

"We'll see" IS NOT AN IRONCLAD AGREEMENT. Senate Dems just gave away the only leverage they had to protect millions of Americans' healthcare subsidies. Absolutely mind boggling.

the amount of pain and harassment this institution will wreak on her as a result of this INSANE angle running is truly despicable. She's standing up for kids not being murdered, there's really no gray area.

Polling showing Dem position on health care subsidies is favored by Dems and Independents by large margins.

Exhibit #2625 on Dems winning the politics of the shutdown fight. Check out this polling from @groundwork.bsky.social:

The cool thing re: lying about things people materially feel in their everyday lives is that YOU CAN’T BECAUSE PEOPLE KNOW HOW MUCH THINGS COST WHEN THEY BUY THEM.

They want us to fight, left versus right.
But it’s time to realize that those are the wrong directions.
It’s up versus down.
Billionaires versus the rest of us.

VIDEO: Day care teacher detained by ICE agents on Chicago’s North Side A day care teacher was taken into ICE custody Wednesday morning at the Rayito de Sol Spanish Immersion Early Learning Center in Chicago’s North Center neighborhood.

Just so we are clear: ICE went into a day care center—a private business—without a judicial warrant, and unlawfully kidnapped a worker in front of parents and children.

Already showing that he’s both brilliant at campaigning and now governance.
