FCC Chair Carr’s post from 12/30/23: Free speech is the counterweight—it is the check on government control. That is why censorship is the authoritarian’s dream.

👀

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

Look at this graph.

The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened.

This is why we must build back union power.

My thoughts exactly!

Lots of rumors... Thoughts and prayers!

The damage this man has done is incalculable.

The successes of Zohran Mamdani, who gained popularity in one of the most Jewish cities in the US, has been stunning given his open condemnation of Netanyahu and Israeli atrocities. And polling of younger Jewish Americans shows a clear break with support for the apartheid state.

And just so we’re clear— Texas Democrats begged Republicans for weeks to pass flood relief but they refused and instead spent the entire special session focused on redistricting.

There’s plenty of camera footage and testimony to prove that you gutless liars.

Dems. Wanna get your polling out of the gutter? Stop talking about redrawing house maps in blue states and do it. Go big. Don't match them seat for seat. Blow them out of the water. Then endorse Mamdani. You're welcome.

Love, Allison

It's Not Just Netanyahu. A Lot of Israelis Want Genocide, Too Recent polling reveals that the ‘genocide fever’ in Israeli society has reached its logical conclusion: ‘If we can get rid of them all, why not?’

The White House has decided to clam up. Starting now, anything and everything that is spoken about the Epstein case must be cleared by the WH first. In other words, "SHUT UP! STOP talking about it!!"

That won't work, either.

Why? Because WE are going to hammer "EPSTEIN!" every day..all day long.

Dear @senatedemocrats.bsky.social

DENY THE GOP A QUORUM IN SEPT!

No CR unless the GOP stops gerrymandering and agrees to NO vote on the SAVE act, and agrees to NO RESCISSION!

FIGHT LIKE HELL DAMMIT!!

Fight!!

It's a start! Hopefully many more to come!

Firing everyone who could tell you what you're doing is unethical or illegal does not make what you're doing ethical or legal.

ICE now has over 70 billion dollars to build more concentration camps.

Just in time for Independence Day.

God damn you, America.

Listen to @warren.senate.gov!

If you want to keep your healthcare, #KillTheBill! 🚫

Let's just stop calling it the "Big Beautiful Bill." Even ironically. @meidastouch.com has coined the phrase "murder bill", and I think it's appropriate.
Millions of Americans will die because of this bill, and so will democracy.

No name. No badge. No ID. No warrant. Face covered. That’s not an officer that’s an armed thug with government protection. If you can’t show who you are or why you’re detaining someone, you have no business laying a hand on them.

Senate rulekeeper deals blows to revised ‘Big, beautiful bill’ A Medicaid carveout for Alaska was among the “Byrd bath” casualties.

Lisa Murkowski and John Thune deserve this. Trying to exempt Alaska from odious parts of this bill to buy her vote is overruled by parliamentarian. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Wild — they got Senator @lisamurkowski (R) to sell out the rest of 🇺🇸 by exempting Alaska from some harmful aspects of the bill and essentially buying her off with tax incentives for Alaska whalers and clinicians and a higher Medicaid share.

“I canceled Obama’s nuclear inspection program, then I bombed Iran. Now, I am offering them pallets of $30 billion in cash, plus another $6 billion, if they agree to negotiate Obama’s plan. It’s called the Art of the Deal.”

Lisa Murkowski cuts a last minute deal solely to benefit Alaska, exempting it from some of the more odious parts of the bill to secure her vote and sell out the rest of the US. Yeah this stuff sucks and hurts a lot of people, but I got Alaskans exempted so the hell with you.

No words. Just Anger 😡

Bernie to Dems:

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Grocery prices in the USA are out of control. Basic essentials like bread, milk and eggs are becoming unafordable for many families. This isn’t just inflation-its a crisis, and its hitting the most vulnerable the hardest.
