Normal Times in Dire Times Fascism does not break normal life, it feeds on it.

"History has already shown us how this story unfolds. Fascism is not built only in the camps and cells. It is built in the shrug, the silence, the insistence that life can go on as if nothing has changed"

Westpac Bank gets a lot of good publicity from the Westpac Rescue helicopters.

But you probably didn't know it's actually NSW taxpayers who provide the VAST majority of the funding!

Almost every major news story this week is about how the entire economy is now gambling, scams, bribes and theft.

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics.

It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history.

It corrupts our political system every day.

Congress just held a hearing to determine why nothing ever gets done. After five hours...they adjourned...because nothing got done. America’s fine. Carry on.

Hope people are realizing that rigging the 2026 and 2028 elections have always been the plan.

View of the canal from a bridge, trees with golden leaves reflected in the still water.

Carney: But this decades-long process of an ever-closer economic relationship with the United States is now over. And as a consequence, many of our former strengths as a country—more particularly, our economic strengths based on close ties to America—have now become our vulnerabilities…

JB Pritzker: “This man has some weird idea in his head about the city of Chicago. The city’s not on fire. Things are better today than they were 5, 7 years ago. I’m not gonna just sit back while he’s literally turning this country into a dictatorial regime”

Maybe this is obvious to everyone but…why does the White House need a ballroom? It has enough space for state dinners, no? Is this for dances? Weddings? Storing classified documents?

Just confused so the reason would be helpful thx

It’s far from the most important thing, morally right now, or in terms of the human stakes, but the ballroom thing is really breaking my brain.

Why is Apple, Microsoft, Lockheed Martin, Blackstone, Google, OpenAI, Amazon and others financing the destruction of the WH and desecration of the grounds, something that is infuriating to huge chunk of the American population? Do you hate your customers that much?

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

If the National Guard is really in D.C. to protect federal
property, they should probably have been at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. two days ago

Voters should pick their representatives, not the other way around. Glad to get the chance to talk to some of the volunteers and organizers doing the hard work to make sure Prop 50 passes. This vote will have critical implications, not just for California, but for our entire country.

Trump is rigging maps to build a Congress that serves only him, not the people. @AOC knows the power to stop him is in California’s hands—Prop 50 is how we fight back and win. #YesOnProp50

While I am happy that more people are finding their last straw broken by the republican admin, I don't think they need fundraising anymore. They're now funded through Americans paying higher costs for goods to cover tarrifs. Tarrif $ goes to the govn & Congress is an open check book to #47.
