wanted to be here to talk about sustainability and design, but instead have to talk about failed neoliberal economics and fighting fucking Nazis and fascists.

Today we need to also unionize non-factory workers as well.
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.
An upcoming news conference with victims of Jeffrey Epstein could be “explosive,” one of the congressmen pushing for full release of the files on Epstein predicts. Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna said the victims’ accounts will force lawmakers to vote on a bill requiring DOJ to release its files.
Rep. Richard Hudson (R-N.C.) told a closed-door meeting of House Republicans to stop hosting town halls in the midst of backlash from voters. Most appear to have taken that to heart: By mid-August, only 16 of the 219 House Republicans had held at least one in-person town hall event.
Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:
Never forget who these people are and what they are going. Trump is the distraction.

BREAKING: Social Security Administration chief data officer and whistle-blower Charles Borges has resigned after bombshell report that SSA put highly-sensitive data at risk. He sent out an email to colleagues moments ago. Here is the text of his email shared with me:
I should point out that all of the definitions that you are showing are supporting my point exactly. It is perhaps the millions of dollars spent on propaganda by the oligarchs that make it do you don’t see what those words mean.
This is why the Dem establishment won’t fight back with any real measures against the right, but rain hell fire down on progressives.
I don’t think so. Most Dems accept the basic premises of neoliberal economic ideology, as do most people. If you send money to the top, the economy will grow. Dems have supported welfare for billionaires and austerity for people. They respond to the oligarchs, let the money off the hook repeatedly.
Not that he never said it, but that he never wanted to say it, but was advised to.
There are only three political positions in America today 1) I like the fascism 2) I'll acquiesce to the fascism (reasons for this one vary: cowardice, access, denial, misguidedly thinking that acquiescence is savvy, etc) 3) I oppose the fascism The rest is details
"CAPITALISTS SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED NEAR A HEALTHCARE SYSTEM.THEY HOLD SICK CHILDREN HOSTAGE AS THEY FORCE PARENTS TO BANKRUPT THEMSELVES IN THE DESPERATE SCRAMBLE TO PAY FOR MEDICAL CARE… THERE IS NO CHOICE BETWEEN ILLNESS AND HEALTH." - CHRIS HEDGES
IT’S ALL NATIVE LAND!
under both parties. The idea of “controlled opposition” suggests that the oligarchs control both parties, but that the left feels they have a party that represents their interests. But we should all be able to see now that the Dems aren’t representing our interests, or even defending democracy now.
And had been supporting by conservatives in both parties for the past 40 yrs. Under these policies, $80 trillion of wealth has been transferred from the bottom to the top creating the out-of-control billionaires we have today. This did not only happen under Republican politicians; it happened…
Let us know when you start doing that. Standing by….
Who voted for war with Venezuela?
Millions need to call now. Show them you will not lie down and die so easily!
If we want it done, we must ALL call for RFK Jr.'s resignation. ☎️ 202 224 3121 Congressional Switchboard Leave a message this weekend! Here is just one of several letters written by @Resist.bot volunteers that can be sent, as well: resist.bot/petitions/PQ... #Kennedy #RFKJr #HHS
And all the neolib Dems skipping the party altogether.
Wow. So where are the neolib Dems? They okay with the lord of death?
And we’ve known this since day 1. So… what are we doing about it?
Now please. Should have already happened.

Please get on the phone or e-mail and tell your reps in DC what you think about ICE/mass deportations. It only takes a few minutes and it doesn't cost any money. We don't need money in politics. We just need people to participate. www.nationalfinancialplan.com
No matter what @MarshaBlackburn keeps saying, it’s not criminals they’re targeting. www.cnn.com/2025/08/30/u...
Please… most 2Aers have guns cause they’re scared of their own shadows.
This is great to see; we can collectively stand together this weekend!
Yes. Exactly.
They are already taking people... bsky.app/profile/iwil...

I stand with Chicago. I stand with Mayor Johnson. 🚨 NEW: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson just signed an executive order to resist Trump’s federal invasion and occupation of the city. Details in 🧵
We can agree to disagree. I like your fierce ‘tude, but I have zero confidence in all the tough talk. So far the resistance is largely moms and other women standing up armed with just their principles and a sense of justice. There are no “heroes” and the “tough guys” haven’t even uttered a whimper.
I think you underestimate the strength of doing the right thing. Those that give into violence are weak.
I’m guessing you’re not an emergency room MD or deal with issues of mental health, then.
They already are. They’ve jumped the shark, and so I think we can safely say they can not be trusted with Democracy. I think we also need to be clear: you can’t be a leftist and a neolib. We can now drop the pretense that Dems are leftist. Most are not.
Here's the story link. Looks fairly legit www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...
Never forget, never forgive. Accountability is the only thing that will save us.
US Trump regime, under the direction of JD Vance attempted to coup d'état President Zelenskyy of Ukraine, after the "you didn't say thank you" White House ambush in March. The US tried to recruit Ukraine's UK ambassador Valerii Zaluzhnyi who told them to get fucked & rejected their calls.
You speak as if these were normal times…,
The centrist Dems are what the right used to be. They can be the neolib right party. And the left will be non-neolib progressives.
“A 14% price increase” When Trump & @MarshaBlackburn tell you there has been no inflation, they’re lying
Boycott the fascist billionaires.
Talk to Target and Nike about how fucking people over does wonders for your brand. Brands: they need us far more than we need them. Never let them forget it.
It is also not copyrightable. And the energy use will kill the planet.
J.Crew is under fire for using AI for their ad campaign. I work in the fashion industry, and this is happening more than people realize. My issue with AI-generated ads isn’t the tech, it’s the possibility of outright theft of intellectual property and likeness.
Please stand by…

They can pat for their own incarceration too.
We can if we take back the country. In my plan, every single complicit CEO, fascist oligarch, think tanker, former GOP, etc, forfeits all their wealth as restitution. No gov pensions, no SS, no stocks, no property, no bank accounts. We’ll call it the Department of Fuck You Fascists.
Finally someone doing something useful. Actively resist. Study resistance. Learn active, strategic non-compliance.

What the serious fuck?
And if we all do it, it will be strong enough.
You don’t know much about history then, just another violence fetisher, same as the right.
Responsible gun ownership is not represented by having more guns than people in this country. Here we allow gun corporations to kill children for money. As an MD, supporting guns seems like a violation of your oath.
Voting will not be enough. We n ed to stand up snd fight back now.
I disagree. Compromise with Nazis by neolibs is what got us here. Welfare for billionaires; austerity for the masses trickledown BS. Progressivism is the only know antidote to fascism. We need to be open, full of empathy and as furious, full of energy and relentless as the ocean!
Perhaps. Perhaps not. But it sure is the first step to resistance and mobilization.
May I suggest:
Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.
People are still being disappeared. They are still being shipped overseas to dangerous places to their deaths. This is far from shit; far from over and was a colossal waste of our money.
Let’s make it happen. Join the resistance. Everyone can go something.
They don’t care if you have papers or not. What they care about is whether you look like an immigrant from south of the border.
Doesn’t matter. Don’t care. Arrest and prosecute.
Yes, let’s get started! Only way to slow this so we can get ahead of it. None of them will be brave in the face of consequences
And we should be arresting them

Never forget. We must hold every one accountable, down to former republican dog catcher.
So we should go mark these planes ourselves with trackers or other covert but identifying marks.
It will give them pause if they start to realize we will hold them personally accountable. Facing 10 to life should scare off many. We should also be educating them frequently about the potential consequences, including the folks in the military.
First step - local police arrest the faux ice, ID them, get their names in the public record. Then, local DAs prosecute them for impersonating an officer, for not identifying, for assault, for kidnapping. We only need to do it a few dozen times and it will cause chaos in the ranks of ice.
A plane removing a tail number is like a car removing a license plate. With the tail number, civilians, journalists, and immigration organizations can keep an eye on which deportation flights are leaving, and to where, and loved ones can track deported family members. newrepublic.com/post/199077/...
If Ashli Babbitt's parents really wanted to avenge her death they would, instead of pitifully whitewashing her legacy, be suing Fox News for filling their child's gullible head with dangerous nonsense that directly led to her death.
You’re looking at the waste, fraud and abuse (of power).
We need to rescue these people! We need to get them out!
Did you know in August 1943 prisoners at Sobibor extermination camp in Poland revolted and guards indiscriminately beat and fired gas canisters at prisoners as they shouted “freedom”? Actually no, this was this month in Florida. (Sobibor revolt was in October 1943) #USpol #ice #noem #desantis
Yes, I like Newsom tweaking the dick tater but don’t trust that in the end he will not act as a neolib.
So when unconstitutional SCOTUS rules the opposite way, they once again prove they are not.
Go figure, yet another illegal action. In a major blow to Trump’s global trade war, a federal appeals court ruled that many of his tariffs were issued illegally, upholding an earlier decision from the federal trade court.
