EVERY artist, their family, estate, and/or trust whose song has been used by this corrupt regime without permission should be suing to bankrupt the fuckers!! STAND UP!!!

As proof that this remark made people think of Donald Trump, JD Vance recited a new version today. He no longer talks about a "tinpot dictator," but "a FOREIGN leader IN THE MIDDLE EAST." That is, "I'm not talking about the tinpot dictator in DC, y'all!!!"

🔥 BEN MEISELAS ERUPTS: The Cheesecake Factory faux outrage exposes the propaganda machine. They brainwash Americans into fighting each other while oligarchs steal our healthcare, send our kids to endless wars, and buy more yachts. Divide the people. Enrich the oligarchs.

This is a deep truth about fascism and fascist thought. It's why studying fascism and trying to understand the motives of fascists is so incredibly frustrating - Nothing means anything except that which improves the fascist's aesthetic

The US could have been the world leader in renewable energy instead of China. But Donald Trump has squandered that opportunity by siding with the biggest fossil fuel polluters.

The Supreme Court is allowing Trump to block immigration judges from postponing some deportation cases. trib.al/GTMy5K8

A reminder, because it is almost that time of year: More children are killed by cars on Halloween than any other day of the year, by far. www.vox.com/future-perfe... If you're a parent, I hope you'll do what you can to keep kids safe. If you're driving on Saturday, PLEASE exercise extra caution.

Ukraine now knows this regime knows nothing about reciprocity.💔

Imagine my surprise when I found out that Elon Musk wants to send me to prison. I assure you I’m not going to be intimidated. My response. ⬇️ https://robertreich.substack.com/p/musk-wants-me-imprisoned

El-Sayed on Trump's cognitive tests: "I went to medical school...In my neurology unit, I would have to give that MoCA exam...The only people that you give a MoCA test to are people who you worry may have cognitive deficits. By definition, if you're taking one of those tests, something's wrong."

If you are thinking about not voting because you are a blue dot in a red state, think again! Brazil's voters did what nobody had done since 1989: sent a first-round loser on to win the runoff. People wrote Lula off, but voters showed up anyway. Help be the reason we win. Vote! #BlueWaveIn7Days

While 36 global asset owners and pension managers have signed the statement, no Canadian pension funds are signatories. Send a letter today calling on the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board to align our national pension plan with climate safety. win.newmode.net/shiftaction/...

Trump is so desperate to look like the guy who ended the Ukraine war that he'll settle for being the guy who announced the end of the Ukraine war, while the war continued. But the war can only end when Putin leaves Ukraine. Trump doesn't want a ceasefire. He wants a ceasefire-shaped headline.

If we start having the hard conversations, knocking doors... If we step outside our party lines. That's how they did it. That's how we do it too. I know so many of you are tired. I am too... Students in Belgrade are dancing in the streets because they didn't give up on each other. Thread 5/5🧵

I really want BC, and Canada, to be better than this. These guys need to be shutdown and discarded.

The EU is requiring governments to clarify who is responsible for protecting citizens from climate disasters. This should be interesting.

Linden NJ just banned AI data centers. Linden. Linden, home of the "Linden Co-gen Plant" and all the other smokestacks that people associate with stereotypical New Jersey. If they don't want data centers in Linden, it's hard to think of anybody who is going to want them! www.nj.com/business/202...

I think the lesson from Lula is not never talk about the opposition; it's articulate a positive vision that's basically, We Can Just Do Things. That's why Mamdani-ism is so popular - voters have an intrinsic sense that their electeds have agency they're not using

Early voting is underway in nearly every state (more details below). Have you voted yet? I urge you to do whatever you can to get out the vote in your communities and vote as soon as you can.

What are we not accomplishing w/ our life hours because we spend them on social media? What kinds of skills and connections and progress could we be building if we spent less time online? A year into an existential crisis about my job, I still think social media as-is is NOT a net good for us.

Lula: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. A crime in the digital world must be treated the same as a crime in the real world. We cannot have monstrous companies earning millions... not paying taxes... wanting to steer elections."

BREAKING: 174 bipartisan former judges are calling on the 8th Circuit to toss DOJ’s misconduct complaint against the Minnesota judges DOJ wants them investigated & some barred from DHS cases, all for saying ICE violated 210 court orders @democracydefendersfund.org is proud to stand w/ them👇 -TN

Wild chain of events: An artist on FB asked who the subject of a painting was--she'd painted from a photo. A friend alerted me. I was able to tell Shannon Burch that her painting of a woman protesting at Broadview ICE... was me. Honored, to say the least. Abolish ICE www.instagram.com/p/De48EQUGYSF/

The US is not about to have a free and fair election. The state has put its thumb on the scale to favor the ruling party in multiple ways. It's a mostly free, somewhat unfair election. But still one where the ruling party can be overwhelmed by numbers. Hence the term "competitive authoritarianism."

Solar has overtaken nuclear. A decade ago it supplied 1% of the world's power. In 2025 it met three quarters of global demand growth. Almost nobody saw it coming. I spoke to Jocelyn Timperley at BBC Future about why. www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...

"The bigger question is no longer whether solar grows but whether our power systems and institutions can keep up."

If Brazil can reject Trump, the Broligarchs and right-wing authoritarianism, so can we.
