It is obscene to allow anyone to accumulate this amount of wealth. We need to tax billionaires and trillionaires out of existence. engaging-data.com/how-rich-is-...

In the face of a vindictive administration that retaliates against those who stand up for democracy, we say thank you to the military personnel who have refused to participate in Hegseth’s depraved plan of a public execution. @jenrubin.bsky.social writes more

Abandoning Ukraine will be a stain on the United States for the rest of time

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

I am in Cap Haitien interviewing people deported from the United States. I have been doing this kind of work for almost a decade and it literally does not get more dire than this. People have lost everything they built in the U.S. and are terrified and have no place to go or way to live.

The Trump admin has ignored the law and Constitution, seizing money that Congress directed be spent on science. Winning elections is necessary, but not enough, to fix this. We are going to need to rewrite administrative law. Which requires disempowering the Supreme Court.

(🧵|🚨) BREAKING: *Three years* ago PROOF ran a long, well-sourced report confirming that Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu *knew* from Middle Eastern “grand bargain” co-conspirators that the October 7 attack was coming before it came—and let Israelis die for political gain. Now Haaretz has confirmed it.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

REMINDER: Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in now 73 days. Yet he still: •Has his job •Gets paid, and •Gets free world-class healthcare The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, & against guaranteed paid leave—gets all three as he needs it most.😐

Random reminder that the GOP's tax cuts for their billionaire donors ballooned the deficit, so they're blaming the problem on Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid — while making cuts to programs that millions of Americans rely on. It's socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Well, everyone…here’s your president. Aren't you proud? He has absolutely no empathy, and is mean spirited to the core. I hope when he dies, no former presidents and no representatives from foreign countries attend his funeral. He is vile.

Iran is now publicly talking about what I’ve been saying since this war started: They’re trying to Jimmy Carter him, and he’s letting it happen while telling everyone he’s winning.

This highlights a profound impact of Trump — the further normalization of violence against women. Trump got elected in spite of his long history of violence against women. He is not held accountable when he continues to abuse women. 1/2

Brown University has a widget that tracks the cost of the Iran war to American consumers (as contrasted to whatever the Pentagon is spending). Per-household cost now exceeds $600. iranwarcost.watson.brown.edu

Less than 100 days before the midterms, the GOP’s entire strategy boils down to: ⚠️ Make it harder for Democrats to vote ⚠️ Falsely claim fraud to subvert election results These tactics are being challenged in court. But the fight is far from over, Marc Elias writes. https://demdock.com/4pKBKSR

Warning ⚠️ ICE has reportedly detained more than 10,000 people in the past five days as part of a nationwide enforcement surge.

“There was zero plan, except causing pain,” said one U.N. official about the Trump administration’s decision to stop funding the group with no notice or communication. “And that is not forgivable.” (Published Dec. 2025)

When I was Ethics Czar, we decided Obama wouldn't even refinance his house to save a few hundred dollars -- & lobbyists couldn't gift us a PENCIL! Trump is monetizing the presidency for BILLIONS The American people won't stand for it I discussed with @andersoncper.bsky.socialon

Stock trades by President. The blatant corruption is just staggering

Gov. Jared Polis passed over other deserving inmates to give clemency to Tina Peters, according to two members of his clemency board who revealed Polis overruled the unanimous recommendation of his experts. Polis has now fired both of them.

According to new estimates, the richest 20% of U.S. earners drove nearly 60% of consumer spending in Q1 of 2026. Meanwhile, the bottom 80% struggled to keep up with inflation. That’s bad news for the entire economy. Here’s why.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere. It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

As the people suffer, the divine ruler and his fellow elites entertain themselves at an opulent gladiatorial match. Am I describing ancient Rome or Trump's America?

Who funded every business venture Elon Musk has launched? US taxpayers, involuntarily. What have they gotten from the investment? Nothing whatsoever.

Today is the one-year anniversary of the assassination of Minnesota Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark.

This is the "temporary hardship" that Elon promised would be inflicted on us.

His name is coming off the Kennedy Center. But just like when it was added, there are tarps obstructing our view. One cameraman caught a glimpse, though. youtu.be/mKGekAxHQAY?...

Luigi is in prison for allegedly killing one man who denied care to millions & killed 68K people annually—while Musk is on the cover of Forbes despite gutting US AID and killing ~700K so far. It's like the old French saying, "The death of one man is a tragedy, the death of millions is a statistic."

If you can’t tax billionaires & trillionaire because “its unrealized gains until they cash out,” then stop letting them leverage that wealth for loans, as collateral, or as equity. If it’s not real enough to tax—it shouldn’t be real enough to leverage. Abolish billionaires—Protect working people.

Elon Musk spent $290 million getting Trump elected. During this midterm cycle, he's spent $85 million. In total, that’s 0.0375% of his $1 trillion net worth. Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so. We must get Big Money out of politics.

What matters most is clean air, pure water, and fertile soil. We need the trees, the bees, and the seas. Raise ecoconsciousness Promote environmentalism Embrace biodiversity We must become relentless stewards of our miraculous planet. Nothing else is more important.

Another reminder: if there exists *any* class of people who don't have due process rights, then *nobody* actually has due process rights because the government can always just say you're in that class.

More than ever voters need to vet their democratic candidates. It's easy right now to say "Vote Blue No Matter Who" but remember that Citizens United gave the Billionaires the power to buy SCOTUS. They are desperate right now and own both GOP and Dems. Think Fetterman, Kysten Sinema, Joe Manchin.

Obviously Donald Trump is a literal madman who's as capable of doing nothing on a given weekend as starting the fifth war of his second term but it appears he's raced back to DC from his NJ golfing vacation and his golfing buddy just posted this so stay frosty for more war crimes

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

Reminder: Elon Musk is worth nearly $800 billion. Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025. Meanwhile, nearly a quarter of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and household debt has risen to a record high. See the problem here?

We did! We passed a bill to fund the Secret Service and TSA and FEMA 100-0. If Speaker Johnson would just call it for a vote, it would pass. That’s the problem.

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The fifth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

The movie Carousel 1956, they wrote in about a mother and daughter fondly thinking of DV, that his slap felt like a kiss. When dudes are waxing nostalgia about the 50s, this is what they are wanting.

We are not real people, we are "human resources". Like every other resource in this system, we exist to be exploited until we are used up. Capitalism and democracy (and human decency) are incompatible. Profits trump everything. It doesn't have to be this way.

This was always the outcome - rightly or wrongly, they feel like they “won” They now know they can hijack the global economy via the Strait of Hormuz. They assess a mine clearing operation would be costly for the US. We’ll have to prove them wrong or deal with emboldened Iran.

Kim: Three weeks of the war in Iran could have funded vision, hearing, and dental coverage for every senior in America on Medicare. I mean, it just gives you a sense of the trade-off.
