Inequality and climate breakdown are one crisis. 💸 The richest 1% emit more than the poorest 66%. 🌡️ The world’s richest 10% are responsible for over two-thirds of global warming. 💥 The poorest pay the highest price. Let's #TaxTheSuperRich to fund a fairer, greener future
People obsessed with this country's "heritage" are violently opposed to ever actually addressing its real heritage, so all they're left with are consumerism and symbols chosen for their plausible deniability. Imagine claiming the Cracker Barrel logo as your birthright.

I might be off base her but it seems that part of how we got here is Dems trying too hard for too long to hang on to ‘norms’.
Whether or not these people are actual foreign agents is almost irrelevant. Their actions are observationally equivalent to & indistinguishable from the actions actual foreign agents would be taking. The consequences of our total Article I constitutional crisis, right here:
Just saw Halloween candy out at Walgreens. It was $20 for a large-ish bag of fun-size bars. That’s bonkers. Trump take Halloween.
Russ Vought - he’s the puppet master putting psycho’s like Miller in place. Miller loves being hated and Vought stays in the shadows. This article has video of his “put the federal workforce in trauma” plan. www.propublica.org/article/vide...
Taken an hour ago. Healthy and fit as ever.
Su: The BLS collects statistical information — things like the nation’s inflation rate, the unemployment rate, the number of jobs created, which industries are growing, and which are contracting. And on every one of those fronts, Trump is failing.
Don’t print lies in the newspapers. Don’t keep platforming the lying liars to performatively lie on your teevee shows. End the interviews immediately if you’ve messed up by inviting them anyway & they once again performatively lie in public. What is journalism, anyway?
It's seriously the fault of patriarchy. People want a (violent, authoritarian) daddy to be in charge and make them feel safe. And if you sense a theme between this & my thread about men seduced into fascism because they're mad they don't have sex mommies: yup. Patriarchy is emotionally stunting.
That isn’t a mistake, that’s an on purpose.

It is. That’s the MAHA plan. Combine eugenics and a little data manipulation, we’ll be the healthiest country on the planet.

He might but it’s his social media team that knows it’s bs and is putting that crap out, knowing how easy it is to pull cash out of these gullible maga suckers.
This is the most compelling case I’ve seen yet that America is no longer a democracy but an authoritarian state. Not a *soon-to-be* authoritarian state—a *current* one.

He doesn’t believe that but he knows it will get a lot of suckers to send money to help him out.
⚡️Putin arrives in China for regional security summit hosted by Xi Jinping. Chinese state broadcaster CCTV described China-Russia relations as at their "best in history," calling them "the most stable, mature and strategically significant among major countries."

Announcing that he’s channeling Satan? We already knew that.
I know there’s a lot going on but in June ICE took custody of a U.S.-born citizen in Chicago, Illinois and handed him over to a private contractor, which confined him in a hotel without a phone or other form of communication for five days. The city and state aren’t ready for what’s coming next.
Jill Stein and Cornel West both disgust me — such goddamn, self-serving hypocrites.

That might mean a little bit of work and thought on their part and that doesn’t mesh with their entitlement beliefs.
Speaking as someone who used to spend time in their chats, SO much of US contemporary fascism is a function of men assuming that the way adulthood worked was, you got a job and in exchange you got a woman to be your mom plus your sex toy. They are ENRAGED that they have a job but no sex mommy.
The Secretary of HHS does not accept that germs cause illness. The logical conclusion of that is the worst pseudoscience of all: eugenics. He believes that it is not germs that cause illness, but personal failure (or if you're Chinese or Jewish he thinks bioweapons were designed to avoid you).
The new head of the CDC has no training in medicine and once helped Peter Thiel develop man-made islands floating outside U.S. territory | Fortune
We went from modern science to medicine wagon in 7 months.
These people hate anything that is different from when they grew up, social media and smartphones excepted of course
You see, it's not the absence of the lowest common denominator that oppresses them, it's the existence of anything else
Everybody is pissed at RFK Jr. Why? He’s nuts. He believes in what he’s saying and doing. My rage is with the Senate for confirming him.
Up is down. Black is white. Ignorance is intelligence.
that is the joy of RFK Jr--he is ignorant about everything--health care, governance, democracy, decency. His combination of arrogance and ignorance makes him perhaps the Trumpiest Trump official.
The President of Portugal Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa called the orange felon a Russian asset in a live televised speech. Well done, this is how you do it. 👏
'The findings add weight to a growing body of evidence that beavers may be acting as ecosystem engineers, reshaping waterways in ways that benefit not just their own survival, but that of entire landscapes.'
Absolutely love this quote, we all should be mindful!
not just that he has no constitutional authority, there isn't even any particular legal or institutional mechanism by which the president can make anyone treat this as anything other than a weird advisory opinion.

It does. Since they’ve already contaminated the site- just make it Arlington, but for MAGA traitors.
"Redecorating the White House is a sacred task. My all-star crew of designers includes London Tipton, the ghost of Elvis Presley, a prom queen named Kaighleigh, Mr. Monopoly, a handful of Real Housewives, and Queen Elizabeth’s two surviving corgis."
Release the Epstein files.
“bluesky has no pull” we had the world thinking the president was dead, we’re becoming more powerful than they could ever imagine
we can just keep saying he's dead and refusing to credit or acknowledge anyone who refers to him being alive, this will work, trust me and just follow my lead
Why Venezuela you might ask? A quick reminder that Venezuela has the largest proven oil reserves of ANY COUNTRY ON EARTH despite being the size of a postage stamp. This thing where the United States can't stop stealing oil never ends. The idea that it's over imaginary drugs is fucking ludicrous.
And a special shout out to the supposed ‘Resistance’ - stop with the AI memes. They’re really bad graphics & no one other than grassroots Dems read them. The biggest users of AI are the far right, political parties & the media. AI is for losers. People with no ideas.
I’m looking forward to the French forcing all these AI pirates to pay compensation & retrospectively ask permission. That’s how copyright works. The AI business is the theft of the thoughts & creation of all humans to make a few corporate jokers billions in gambling.
Some of the richest agents in Hollywood are shopping for lawyers & a country to take FB/Meta to the cleaners in. Given Meta is everywhere & some countries hate it [Bonjour France!] it should all be great fun. In the old days copyright was a central pillar of the international rules based order*

I think about this often. No way to know for certain but it’s pretty likely we wouldn’t be where we are today without him. 🤬

If prayer really worked, I would have woken up to an enormous headline this morning.
CHICAGO…
Welch: As someone who lives in a red state, let me just tell you what MAGA supermajorities get you. We're 50th in education. The worst in the whole country for women to live. We're poorer, worst health care. And if you look at the bottom ten states, they are all MAGA supermajorities.
Unfortunately, it seems that president Trump was found alive today at the white house. Ours thoughts and prayers to the american people in this difficult time
This is a man overburdened by mitochondrial challenges
The parties that spontaneously pop off when it actually happens will be the stuff of legend.
Grappling how deeply to get involved? The guy said he could end the war in a single day. It just proves how little he knows and how unqualified he is to lead this nation.
Lots of right-wing political pastors and charlatans about to get rich from FEMA money.
the mystery of Schrödinger's Psychopath has been solved
Putin spent 4 hours in Alaska with Trump. Putin is about to spend 2 days in Beijing with Xi. Everyone laughing off Putin's ambitions need to pay attention here. American and EU news outlets are far too optimistic.
“If there’s no difference between upholding the Constitution and attacking it, then there’s no honor in service.” Also, there’s not really a Constitution anymore. Just meaningless words on paper.

I don’t know if Trump is dying. But I do know that people telling themselves Vance would be better because he’s not as “popular” are ignoring the fact that these fascist systems are designed to crush democracy and popularity doesn’t figure into it. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/if-trump-d...

Amazing- congratulations. My 10 years is coming up.
SARAH PALIN: "There are going to be death panels!" RFK JR: "Technically, it's just me."
The thing about conservatives who say they’d never end a family relationship over politics is that, like every other thing they say, they’re lying.
Garcia: We finally got word from the Epstein estate. They're going to be providing the actual Epstein book… the estate is actually going to actually now get us that book and a bunch of other documents that they have that's actually not been reported yet.
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
ATLANTA: “The city is opening a grocery store to clear up a downtown food desert… City leaders say the market will help those in the area who have not previously had easy access to healthy food.” (cc: everyone acting like @ZohranKMamdani is crazy🤔) www.wsbtv.com/news/local/a...
Garcia: This is a great ruling by the court. Of course, Donald Trump is already overreacting, saying this is going to somehow be the destruction of the United States. I'm not sure if he's aware he's trying to do that all on his own.
The damage this man has done is incalculable.
The sitting President of the United States raped children and he’s in no danger of being held accountable for it.

The new acting head of the CDC is not a doctor, has no public health experience, and is connected to and sponsored by Peter Thiel. What could go wrong!
It is appalling how elected Democrats manage to combine dereliction of duty and a total inability to benefit themselves politically. This is slam dunk shit and you can bet if the shoe was on the other foot Republicans would be pouncing on this.
How is “keep this brain wormed freak from killing Americans with his crazy bullshit” not the obvious message right now? Instead we get subdued concern that lasts half a news cycle.
People are going to die from RFK's decisions. Dems could actually generate enough backlash to prevent this but they're doing nothing. I would push for impeachment, even making impeachment/removal a key rationale for Dems regaining the House/Senate
its been nearly 24 hours since the two highest ranking democrats in america bothered to use their massive messaging platforms
They aren't even willing to say that if they take back the chamber they might look into whether impeaching him. In fact, Jasmine Crockett's suggestion she might be interested in this to a reporter played a role in her not getting put on the oversight committee.
Not complicated.
When a president decides to disregard the will of the American people, you’re right, that’s the mark of authoritarian rule. The White House has notified Congress that it plans to cancel $4.9 billion in foreign aid funding that lawmakers had already approved, doing so without their consent.
Worse chief justice in history - If he is sorry, hell he is the chief justice that can implement revisiting giving the cheeto fuhrer immunity, but, as you can see he is just whining about something he caused and doing nothing to change it, just STFU since we the people mean nothing to you

I just called my two senators (John Cornyn and Ted Cruz) begging them to insure that Kennedy resigns or is fired. This latest debacle at the CDC should be (and hopefully will be) the final straw... If you don't have @5calls.org on your phone, please download it... and then use it.

Not only does Trump not want another election, he is working hard on making sure there won’t be any.
