America has produced a most unique system of government

A theofascoligkakracy

Such an important point:

“Progressive policies…are very popular in this country…but you have a segment of the Democratic Party that keeps trying to convince progressives we’re losing elections because their policies need to be more moderate.” Matt Dowd

I wish more understood this.

A confession…
🧵

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.

Getting big money out of politics. 

Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages.

Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare...

This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

The situation at the immigration detention center known as “Alligator Alcatraz” has gotten so bad that detainees have been on a hunger strike for over ten straight days.

Detainees at Florida’s “Alligator Alcatraz” are on a hunger strike over what they call inhumane, dangerous conditions.

Some haven’t eaten in 10 days. One of them, Pedro Hernández, was hospitalized and still refuses food until they are treated with dignity.

Virginia Giuffre’s brother: I think we were shocked by it—especially the use of the term “stolen.” Because she’s not an object. She’s a person. Someone who was recruited at Mar-a-Lago—his property… it just kind of makes us wonder… how much he knew

Medicare & Medicaid turn 60 today.

Instead of protecting the care that so many Americans rely on, Trump’s Big Ugly law rips health care away from 15 MILLION people.

The same folks screaming “America First” stay busy putting Americans dead last.

Marco Rubio, Stephen Miller, Kirsti Noem, Joseph Mazzara, Emil Bove, Drew Sargent, and everyone else involved in planning, executing, and obstructing justice around the CECOT imprisonments are responsible for Andry's torture and rape.

Each bears a share of the blame. Don't ever let them forget it.

The Black Panthers didn't mock people for their lack of education. They taught people how to read

A lot of people need to hear this

when RFK says he wants to “end chronic disease,” what people hear is “he wants to cure us” but what he means is “i want to cull the weak”

Rock on in the cosmos Ozzy.

I'm not loving a country that pays its adults half as much to teach children to spell as it does to kidnap them.

We are doing this. Our governments. Our taxes. Our arms sales.

This is our Holocaust. Our Cambodian killing fields. Our Balkans. Our Rwandan genocide.

We are doing this and history will never forgive us.

Works for me! 👍

John Lewis walked, bled, and lived for justice.

Five years since his passing, we honor him the only way we know how:

By refusing to stay silent and getting in more Good Trouble.

Stephen Colbert is a profoundly good and deeply talented man with a great staff and an excellent show. They all deserve better.

Pam Bondi is breaking the DOJ And will take generations to put it back together.

New in PN: Pam Bondi is breaking the DOJ

"The Department of Justice is no longer in the business of justice at all, and has squandered the presumption of regularity it once enjoyed with judges. One of the bulwarks of American civil society is functionally MIA — a massive blow to state capacity."

THIS is what courage looks like.Today, striking farmworkers bravely stood in front of cameras, the community, and the press, risking their jobs, safety, and future. To speak the truth. About the stolen wages. About the years of being unheard.
This is a movement. And today was a turning point.

The worst chief justice of all time Move over, Roger Taney and Melville Fuller.

New in PN: The worst chief justice of all time

"American history has no shortage of legendarily bad chief justices and disgraceful decisions. But John Roberts has overseen the wholesale corruption and capture of the Supreme Court, and history should look back on his tenure with revulsion."

Shooting our videos is a little bit different now.

I miss NYC. I wish I could vote for Zohran!
