The only surefire way to stop oligarchs buying up the things we love is to drop those things the moment oligarchs buy them & that requires changing habits and massive self-discipline.
It means going to alternatives that might not be quite as good or convenient.
It’s really hard. But there it is.

Note how the Kennedy Center ribbons are blue, instead of the traditional rainbow colors. Because the Trump administration never gets too preoccupied with its racism to overlook its homophobia.

Minn AG Keith Ellison on my show explains that The head of massive fraud ring in Minnesota was NOT a Somali American as Trump claims. Rather a white woman named Aimee Bock was convicted as being the mastermind. But Trump spewed this lie to give his base some racist red meat.

European reaction to the new American national strategy document

Republican Elite (last week): treason to tell military to not obey illegal orders & we would never give illegal orders

Republican Elite (yesterday): we stand by orders to kill unarmed survivors of our attacks clinging to boats

Republican Elite (today): military deserves all blame for illegal acts

"Beware of any Christian movement that acts as though the world is full of enemies to be destroyed rather than full of neighbors to be loved.

Beware of any Christian movement that demands the government be an instrument of God's wrath, but never a source of God's mercy, generosity, or compassion."

I am really losing patience with Americans who treat their elected officials like celebrities they have to defend, instead of representatives they have to hold responsible. Grow the fuck up. Millions of lives are at stake.

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey.

This isn’t controversial.

A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

Dimon SAR Forever: The "Wall of Cash" Memo JPMorgan Chase is the subject of a damning report by the Senate Finance Committee's senior investigator, who is looking into the bank's long & prosperous relationship with Jeffrey Epstein

Dimon SAR Forever: what we learn about Epstein's finances in the Wall of Cash memo.

I’m not sure what the point of focusing on in-store experience is when we are refusing to enter the store to begin with?

These posters started popping up ahead of next week’s We Ain’t Buying It boycott.

From Nov 27 - Dec 1, folks are stepping back from corporate chains like Target, Home Depot, and Amazon. People are done being squeezed, so they are using the leverage of their wallets 💥

Sorting through my memories of everything that happened on Tuesday, and reflecting on how some of the first phone calls I got and first people I saw onsite were union leaders in Saint Paul. I don’t know that unions ever get the credit they deserve for showing up for ALL workers, all the time.

AP and others *have* been on the ground and interviewing families and telling their stories, and the people on the boats appear to the mostly working class low-level people smuggling cocaine, not hardened cartel operatives bringing in fentanyl as the admin repeatedly has suggested.

Trump's economy is being held up by a massive AI bubble.

A recent study found that of 300 companies that owned generative AI tools, 95% reported zero return on their investments.

We will not entertain a bailout of these companies should this bubble pop.

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to buy, own, and sell individual stocks. Period. Let's make Congressional stock trading illegal.

Oh FFS

Shopping for shampoo is NOT THE SAME as shopping for your breast cancer treatment.

JFC. Where the hell do these people come from?

AOC: Should this AI bubble pop, we should not be entertaining a bailout of these corporations while healthcare is being denied to Americans and SNAP is being denied to Americans —

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

every epstein email is some creep complaining about MeToo and then being like “oh before i forget, any advice on how to use my position of authority to force women into sleeping with me?”

I don't think official government accounts saying "womp womp" to protesters is the broader appeal to normal people we were asking for in politics

Important to remember!!!

An agreement to agree to do a later vote is NOT an enforceable contract so what in the actual hell are Americans getting out of this deal??

Democrats have to stop bailing out Republicans from facing the consequences of their own policies. And yeah, that means they have to stop sparing voters from experiencing what GOP government truly means.

Every time Dems step in, it only emboldens the GOP & they make it even worse the next time.

Wild how propaganda turns empathy into anger and billionaires into “job creators.”

Here’s an idea for Democrats to run on.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi smiling and waving a gavel while standing at the rostrum of the House of Representatives.

The greatest Speaker of all time.

Thank you for your service to the people of San Francisco and to our country, Nancy Pelosi.

Trump's Department of Agriculture has sent an email to grocery stores prohibiting them from offering discounts to customers impacted by the SNAP funding lapse.

If ICE agents begins harassing voters on the way to vote on Tuesday, we need local prosecutors to charge the ICE officers with state law crimes. We need to send a message for 2026 that they will be swiftly arrested.

A reminder: demonstrations are great, they’re a fun party, they are a literal demonstration of the collective power of the people.

They’re not the goal. They’re not the end. They’re not even much of a means

They’re the gateway drug that gives a taste of the joy of collective action & leads to more
