Tax the super-rich - Greenpeace International Join the movement! Together, let's urge governments to tax the super-rich and fund a green and fair future.

The richest 1% have created more carbon pollution than the poorest 66%, and yet frontline nations are facing climate oblivion while oligarchs like Elon Musk pay nothing.

Join @greenpeaceusa.bsky.social calling on governments to #TaxTheSuperRich for a green and just future!

Campaign Finance Info Should Be Digital, Secretary of State Says Mississippi should require candidates to submit campaign finance filings through a searchable, digital system, Secretary of State Michael Watson said.

Mississippians can now report issues they encounter while voting in elections and the Mississippi secretary of state’s office can provide information and updates through a text-messaging service the office developed, TextMyGov.

Are there any academics or nonprofits or something who do their own independent jobs reports? Because there’s no way I’ll be able to believe anything the BLS says after today.

I had no idea The Nostalgia Critic was an economist. And he isn't, but he's still more of one than E. J. Antoni, who doesn't even know when tariffs are added to measured import prices.

Trump just announced E.J. Antoni, a Project 2025 contributor from the Heritage Foundation, as the new head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Steve Bannon has been pushing for Trump to pick Antoni ever since Trump fired the former BLS commissioner in response to a report showing a slowing economy.

a graph from EJ antoni showing not-in-labor-force levels increasing  above a trendline with the caption "The number of people not in the labor force rose again in Apr to 5 million above pre-pandemic level and much more above the pre-pandemic trend; this figure had peaked in Aug '18 and fell 1.2 million before the gov't-imposed lockdowns began in early '20". I replied "lol this is among the funniest bad trendlines I have ever seen. Any basic pre-COVID projection that accounts for the aging of the US population would expect not-in-labor-force levels (mostly retirees) to increase and this implies they should actually start declining for no reason"

EXCLUSIVE: I Have Ghislaine Maxwell's Security Score, Custody Level, Transfer Code, and Sex Offender Waiver I have reviewed an electronic file that includes some of the information Senator Whitehouse is demanding from the Bureau of Prisons.

BREAKING: EXCLUSIVE: Senator Whitehouse asked the BOP for Ghislaine Maxwells sex offender waiver, custody level, transfer code, and security point score. I have them. She's also been granted the ability to leave the facility for work assignments. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

So, the same deal #Epstein got that one time Alex Acosta "prosecuted" him.

Not all MAGA Republicans are child predators, but all child predators are MAGA Republicans.

Here's some light reading.

Have a night, y'all!

Another subtle warning to the U.S. from Putin's adviser Dmitriev.

He's been given the task of restoring trade with America. But isn't this a threat?
Is President Trump even aware of Alaska's history?

Reminder: The last time Donald Trump deployed troops to an American city, his poll numbers on the relevant issue (in this case, immigration) instantly cratered and still haven't recovered.

URGENT: No more statements of condemnation. Sanction Israel NOW. The Israeli government has announced a complete invasion of the Gaza Strip, and last night the IDF murdered five Al Jazeera staff in Gaza including its most prominent reporter, Anas al-Sharif. We are

In light of Netanyahu's bloodthirsty continuation of his white-supremacist Zionist colonial genocide with an occupation of Gaza even the Israeli military rejects, join @eko.org in demanding an immediate embargo on and sanctioning of Israel.

RNC attendees waving β€œMass Deportation Now!” signs

This is what they agreed to. β€œMass Deportation Now!” Note that there’s no qualifiers. It doesn’t say β€œMass Deportation Now of Criminals”, nor β€œMass Deportation Now of Gangs”. It’s opened-ended, unbound, and can’t be retconned to something more sensible

Ana Kasparian expected a reasonable immigration policy from the person who called immigrants rapists who were eating cats and dogs and promised the largest deportations in American history.

Ana Kasparian: "I supported what Trump CLAIMED he was gonna do with immigration when he was campaigning. But what we have seen is violations of people's human rights, heavy-handed ICE raids, talk about de-naturalizing citizens..."

Trump campaigned on deporting immigrants and called them rapists.

For years, Netanyahu propped up Hamas. Now it’s blown up in our faces The premier's policy of treating the terror group as a partner, at the expense of Abbas and Palestinian statehood, has resulted in wounds that will take Israel years to heal from
