Here’s the rest of it. It’s REALLY good and worth listening to.👇 bsky.app/profile/abdu...

It’s bad enough that Gavin Newsom opposes California’s Prop 40. But he also supports Prop 42, a billionaire-backed poison pill that would cancel out Prop 40 entirely and make it impossible to enact future wealth taxes. It’s clear whose side he’s on. Remember this in 2028.

YIKES #mesen #mepolitics

CEO pay is up 1,316% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 28%. CEOs are now paid 325 TIMES as much as the typical worker in their industry, according to @epi.org Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Imagine a Vice President of the United States getting a fact-check Community Note that the heckler was right and you are lying. These people just can’t stop lying.

Glad folks are appalled by photos of the "phone booth" cage under an awning, but pls understand: This IG report is likely part of a cover-up. Amnesty Int'l interviewed detainees EIGHT MONTHS AGO who said the cage was half this size (couldn't stand up), had no awning, w feet chained to the bottom.

A pastor for Michael Whatley, the North Carolina GOP Senate nominee, opened with a prayer asking God to bestow "integrity and honesty." It was delivered by Pastor Daimon King, a registered sex offender twice imprisoned for convictions involving children. apnews.com/article/what...

Horrific though unsurprising report from @propublica.org: Ectopic pregnancy deaths have basically doubled since the end of Roe

Food companies wanted deregulation. Now there are dozens of recalls across the country. Mining companies wanted deregulation. Now the black lung rate is at a 45-year high. Financial companies wanted deregulation. Now financial losses to fraud are the highest on record. Noticing a pattern?

The ONLY reason why he did it is because someone told him he would lose the support of Tennessee and other red states if he didn’t lower the flags. He did it out of self preservation. He didn’t do it after Rep. Melissa Hortman was murdered, he wanted to piss off Minnesota.

Good. Sue the shit out of them. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Corporate media is obsessed with stopping progressive Democrats while the corrupt rapist president covers up the raping of children and steals everything in existence.

Since 2019, corporate profits have grown 52 percent. Wages have grown 12 percent. Read that back. This is what a rigged economy looks like. [Chart by @groundwork.bsky.social]

First Onion video on Bluesky longer than 3 minutes!

This is just amazing. You would think that Texans would want to get back to that level.

I remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. Now, two unvaccinated people have died from measles. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.

Yes, it does sound familiar.

I wonder why 90 days. Couldn’t be because the midterms are in… 74 days, right? Right? Apparently communist price controls are fine when you’re trying to get votes. Who knew?

🇺🇸DOCS: "In 13 days I saw 13 kids shot in the head & chest... deliberate killing of children... 🇮🇱's 'final solution' for Palestinans boils down to 'I want their land + I'm willing to kill children to get it' - part of the genocide." Docs tell Hasan & CNN what they saw.

WATCH - SEN. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social: “Trump has found a way to monetize the war… Is any Republican senator willing to come down to this floor and defend the President setting up a subscription service for public policy announcements from the White House?”

Trump doesn’t want to say where his mystery meat is coming from. Oh also in a separate story I’m sure is in no way connected, he’s been slaughtering your wild horses.

Food companies wanted deregulation. Now there are dozens of recalls across the country. Mining companies wanted deregulation. Now the black lung rate is at a 45-year high. Financial companies wanted deregulation. Now financial losses to fraud are the highest on record. Noticing a pattern?

This is fascism.

Jake Laperruque, a Tech Policy Press fellow and deputy director of the Security and Surveillance Project at CDT, says there's no real evidence automated license plate readers like Flock are driving crime down. The real danger is what mass video surveillance becomes next, he says.

In the past, the rich used to pay higher taxes. Now, the government pays the rich interest on a swelling debt, caused largely by lower taxes on the rich. It's a big switcheroo that we need to talk about if we're going to talk about the national debt.

Dr. Vin Gupta: There is no proven link between the childhood vaccine schedule and the development of autism. There are other much more plausible and proven risks that we just don’t talk about because they are so focused on their hypothesis that’s been debunked.…

SCOTUS ruled that police conduct a 4th Amendment search when they obtain a person’s location data — even from a private company. They warned against surveillance that lets police reconstruct a person’s movements after the fact, enabling “tireless & absolute surveillance” of anyone, anywhere.

Video of an ICE agent pulling a gun on a wife and mother, who is a US citizen born and raised in the area, near Bailey's Crossroads in Northern Virginia yesterday. Chillingly, they claimed she “almost ran them over” until she told them she had video proving that was a lie.

Many are woefully ignorant of our history… We Promised! We Have Not Honored Our Promise!

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal.

BREAKING NYT: Federal agents around the country were told in recent days that the FBI would no longer investigate confrontations with immigration agents — cases that sometimes yield evidence that could be used to prosecute DHS agents implicated in violent encounters.

In 1999 a farmer deeded land for a park for $10 to Taylor, TX because he noticed kids had no place to play. In 2025 the city sold the land to a developer for $10M to build a data center. Now, city says petition to ban data centers cannot move forward. finance.yahoo.com/sectors/tech...

If you’re not alarmed you’re not paying attention. www.propublica.org/article/fede...

Mamdani got into office and instantly: • Froze rent for 2 million New Yorkers • Cut subway fares in half for low-income riders • Fully funded NYC parks • Added $680M for public schools • Launched free child care for 2-year-olds If establishment politicians actually wanted to help you, they could.

Under Trump: -An ExxonMobil lawyer runs DOJ's Environment division -An Amazon executive runs OSHA -A crypto and prediction markets lawyer runs the CFTC -A private prison executive runs ICE The list goes on... The revolving door is spinning out of control.

A car is one of the largest purchases you’ll likely make as a consumer. If you choose to spend that $50,000 on a Tesla, you’re choosing to support child genocide. Not buying a Tesla is one of the easiest things you can do to not be a garbage human being.

Americans’ personal savings rate has dropped to one of its lowest levels in 15 years. Household debt is at a record high. Millions of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, which aren't keeping up with inflation. Meanwhile, corporate profits are at a record high. The system is rigged.

Compare Alito's description of Trump's racist statements (on the left) to Justice Kagan's anthology of Trump's racist statements (on the right). These are passages from this morning's opinions in Mullin v. Doe.

JD Vance: "I think Nixon's historical legacy is enjoying a bit of a renaissance, and deservedly so. I joked that if Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12 hours news story. The idea that it took down a presidency is crazy."

3 Amazon software engineers advocated that the city of Seattle pause data center buildouts leading to a unanimous vote for a 1-year moratorium on new data centers in the area. Amazon initiated disciplinary action and now the workers are suing for retaliation. Did they cross the line or did Amazon?

What the Palestine Action appeal decision tells us about terrorism law “It became a crime just to express an opinion. It was an extraordinary interference with the law of free expression.” www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/law/th...

“The authoritarianism of Starmer’s government should be terrifying in itself” But his “abuses of Britain’s terrorism laws have also paved way for Farage and a Reform government to unleash a whirlwind of repression” and further crackdown on our civil liberties. open.substack.com/pub/jonathan...

“Imagine living next to this” @nonewdatacenters.bsky.social

Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire. The typical American household would have to work more than 11 MILLION years to make Elon Musk's level of wealth. We need a wealth tax.
