Good lord. Read this whole thread. This administration has just built a corruption pipeline. What a fucking mess.

When I can’t reply, but must repost just to support the point made here. I completely agree with this take. The replies represent aggregated attempts to attach “abolish” to Peggy’s posts when her ads strategically avoided doing so. Algos have warped our society, amplifying mob behavior.

A mirror held up to our reality tv society where our collective obsession with observing the warped ID of others makes me realize I’ve lived the modern experience of the downfall of the Roman Empire.

This is a better epilogue to my January story about the private equity firm profiting off of ICE's cruelest flights than I could have ever possibly hoped for. CHICAGO: You went to the mat and protected (at a minimum!) thousands of immigrants from torture. Take a bow. prospect.org/2026/10/02/i...

This serves as advertisement for Alex Gibney’s documentary, Musk, opening October 9. Pass it on.

good morning, you have no idea how much it's been killing me not to be able to tell you this but we made it and wow I can't wait to dive in: blockclubchicago.org/2026/09/11/l...

What the richest person on Earth is really doing will haunt you. And he will know your thoughts. Because nobody is stopping him.

Hey @kaine.senate.gov - your support for Trump cabinet members caused today’s unhinged Trump post to go ignored by his cabinet. The 25th Amendment only works if YOU only approve cabinet members who would use it. You approved Trump sycophants that won’t consider it. Thus, this failure is on YOU.

MacKensie Scott has a current net worth of $35B and has given away $26B so far. Take away Mr. Buffett, and MacKensie represents 95% of the giving by the 11 largest other Billionaires in the list (all men, btw) despite having only 1.2% of their wealth.

hi @mcuban.bsky.social - you’ve done a lot to raise up your alma mater. Given MLK Day is the day your school plays for a championship, you should also support another part of IU that has steadfastly been there. Help the IU Black Student Union to put their event back on!

The Kavanaugh Stop. This thread shows the three-month evolution of it. Repeated unjustified arrests, no crime. Today an ICE agent reached into a vehicle to remove an observer blocking them. She tried to leave quickly, turning away from another agent in front. He murdered her. Nice stop, Brett.

@jennylsq.bsky.social slow build? How to Disappear Completely

I align with this insidious view. By the end of this, your insight into the unchecked evangelical tech power of DOGE should make you angry. For most Americans, they’ll have no clue the billionaires could control all gov spend - and send most of it to themselves. Will anything stop it?

There’s maybe one bit of resistance left in this place. As usual these days, it’s a woman willing to put it all on the line, to prevent history from repeating itself. I’m so disappointed in white men… www.linkedin.com/posts/rachel...

Meanwhile, on Twitter…

We don’t live in Medici era, when wealthy sponsored artists and supported culture. Billionaires own WP and LA Times, and take a neutral stance to appease a fascist candidate that “might” win. We citizens of USA are cornered. Billionaires can survive after USA falls. We can’t. Explain why I’m wrong.

Umm, @petersagal.bsky.social speaking of awesome fish tanks at outdoor sporting goods stores… t.co/zY6OLRLh6p
