The system is rigged — and Trump wants to keep it that way because his own power depends on it.

What drives Trump is simple: he cares more about protecting the interests of those with power than those with none.

So when he and his regime lash out about Epstein, understand why.

WATCH: Trump, EPA's Zeldin announce end of scientific basis for U.S. action on climate change The Trump administration on Thursday revoked a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, the most aggressiv...

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

easy slogan for the next democratic presidential candidate is “i will reform the corrupt supreme court and repeal citizens united”

BREAKING: The House passed the so-called SAVE America Act which threatens to upend our freedom to vote.

The bill could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters by requiring documents like passports or birth certificates to register to vote and forcing voter roll purges. The Senate must reject it.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

TAKE ACTION | Save Standard Time Tell policymakers to ditch DST and restore permanent Standard Time!

Remind lawmakers in Congress and in your state that permanent Standard Time is best for mental health (not permanent DST)! #DitchDST #MentalHealth savestandardtime.com/action/

Sleep and Biological Rhythms Small shifts in diurnal rhythms are associated with an increase in suicide: The effect of daylight saving Michael BERK, Seetal DODD, Karen HALLAM, Lesley BERK, John GLEESON, Margaret HENRY 21 February 2008 Abstract Large disruptions of chronobiological rhythms are documented as destabilizing individuals with bipolar disorder; however, the impact of small phase altering events is unclear. Australian suicide data from 1971 to 2001 were assessed to determine the impact on the number of suicides of a 1-h time shift due to daylight saving. The results confirm that male suicide rates rise in the weeks following the commencement of daylight saving, compared to the weeks following the return to eastern standard time and for the rest of the year.

“Suicides rise following commencement of Daylight Saving Time, compared to the return to Standard Time.”

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

Utah’s snowpack has hit a record low this year. It is triggering some alarm on Utah’s Capitol Hill: www.fox13now.com/news/great-s... #utpol #Utah

We Gave Homeless People Cash. They Bought Housing Not Drugs. The evidence from Vancouver to Denver is undeniable: When people in crisis receive money, substance use goes down, employment goes up, and homelessness ends.

In case you missed my latest Substack, it's a collection of the evidence from recent guaranteed basic income and unconditional cash pilots focused on homeless populations. As Bluesky knows, of course it works, but still, it's good to have evidence like this on our side to support our demand for UBI.

BREAKING: Bernie Sanders is introducing an amendment to cut ICE’s $75 billion funding increase, and to use those funds to restore the federal cuts to health care.

MN general strike: workplaces closed, work still got done. This is a 4-day workweek pilot program. Data is writing itself?

If we can organize mass strikes every Friday, and the sky doesn’t fall, seems like a good argument for 32-hour workweek. (Obvi some industry exceptions)

They're lying!

Ex-FIFA president Sepp Blatter joins those calling for boycott of World Cup in U.S. Former FIFA president Sepp Blatter is backing a proposed fan boycott of World Cup matches in the United States because of the conduct of President Trump and his administration at home and abroad.

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years.

These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Not one Utah Republican has come out to condemn what's happening with ICE in Minnesota. They don't care. We must remove them at the polls. Repost this and join us if you are ready to do it.

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

ICE agents are America's failures, basically indistinguishable from lazy school shooters, losers who want to play Call of Duty on our streets against people who can't fight back. They have unlimited ammo and toss tear gas like they're pressing L1. They have to be defunded and jailed. All of them.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

German soccer federation official wants World Cup boycott considered because of Trump A German soccer federation executive committee member says it’s time to consider a World Cup boycott because of the actions of U.S. President Donald Trump.

A German soccer federation executive committee member says it's time to consider a World Cup boycott because of the actions of U.S. President Donald Trump.

I genuinely think boycotting the World Cup is some of the strongest leverage the Europeans have.

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

Happy RCV Day! Last night over 100 advocates from across the country joined us live for an RCV Day Eve celebration. Throughout the day we will be sharing clips.

Today, the DC crew is tabling at the RCV Day booth in front of the DC Board of Elections. https://www.growdemocracydc.org/rcv-day

Today is #RCVDay, a celebration of #RankedChoiceVoting.

RCV is delivering in states & cities across the nation, and it’s easy to see why:

✅Voters get more choice & more voice
✅RCV rewards more positive campaigning
✅It’s as simple as 1-2-3

People want to have their basic needs met.

They want to be paid a living wage.

They want to stop being nickle and dimed by powerful corporations who control so much of our lives.

They do not want Venezuela.

They do not want Greenland.

They do not want masked thugs terrorizing our communities.

The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.
