The best post I've seen this week applies: If your business requires theft to operate, you don't have a business, you have a criminal enterprise. (Evan May, @gianttourtiere.bsky.social)

I keep seeing this too. So many people.
"My biggest fear is that authoritarianism ultimately wins because people sort of can't be bothered to get up off the mat, and that exhaustion is so deep. And that's the thing I see and hear in people right now." @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social, joined by @weissmann.substack.com:
You get what you focus on. So don’t focus on the negative comments, and certainly don’t focus on the positive comments, seeing as what that did to Elon’s ego, just go back to focusing on intelligent discussion like you were doing until you started doing this.
Great news!
Corporations socialize their losses and privatize their gains.
This resignation letter reveals A LOT.
Sooner. They just want us to die sooner.
If only we had senators who would do something other than report the news of what they are letting the admin get away with. Y’all need to do a sit-in on the senate and house floors and do not leave until there is nothing in the news except news about your sit-in. Let the world see our determination.
BREAKING: James Talarico just gave one of the best speeches we've seen this year. Every American needs to see this.
Making a whole new class of millionaires with these lawsuits. And they will deserve every penny.
Yes they are.
Almost 11 bonus years for me. Keep on keeping on!
No notes
Right on!
TRUMP: "I killed over a million people with my inability to understand disease." RFK Jr: "Hold my horse dewormer."
Veterans didn’t fight in wars to have our freedoms taken away by our own ! #democracy #notofascism #arresttrump
Hopefully he’s impeached post mortem and the entire colluding cabinet has to go. And then hopefully the colluding senators are put on trial.
lol @ butt snorkelers.
Is that masked militias getting in the way of and trying to scare kids going to school? It certainly LOOKS like a masked militia getting in the way of and trying to scare little kids going to school. Wtf?!?
I’ve had a lot of interactions in healthcare given my background and all of these healthcare miracle makers should be the billionaires in this world. They do more good, for more people, than our current billionaires every day of the week.
A couple of months ago, the Navy dishonored civil rights hero Harvey Milk by removing his name from a ship. Now, the Air Force is dishonoring itself by celebrating a domestic terrorist called Ashli Babbitt.
Gun control now before many more kids die! Minneapolis: The shooter did not act alone. He was assisted by 219 members of the House, 53 Senators, hundreds of NRA lobbyists, and one President.
Today’s earworm for me was the opening welcome song from Cabaret. Right out of left field.
I can't even screenshot it--the entire letter is worth a full read. And I will say it again--our state public health agencies really need to step up now & fight against RFKJ's harmful extremist policies: open.substack.com/pub/simonwdc...
Wow! Those are crazy murder rates. Seems like those are the places to combat crime.
There’s a reason Dr. King's historic 1963 rally was called “The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.” As he warned the nation, "We all too often have socialism for the rich and rugged free market capitalism for the poor." Real freedom requires economic freedom for all.
Kids have to take bullets to save other kids from bullets all because we let the Assault Weapons Ban expire so politicians could get more donations and gun makers could get more profits.
Thank you for some good news today!
At some point folks will realize this *Christian* nation & its leaders treat children as dispensable It doesn't care if gun violence is the leading cause of their death It no longer cares if they're protected from preventable diseases or if they're cured from cancer
This is an important part of the current dynamic. You can't threaten to bring something to a halt if they don't want it to work in the first place.
A very strong & powerful resignation letter from Dr. Daskalakis calling out RFK jr. “I am unable to serve in an environment that treats CDC as a tool to generate policies and materials that do not reflect scientific reality and are designed to hurt rather than to improve the public’s health.”
Good idea, though.
What was once noble - resigning rather than following orders that would harm a lot of people - is now just a path opening for unscrupulous people to take the job of going ahead and following orders that harm a lot of people.
Think New Mexico, is definitely not fighting for patients, they’re fighting for patients to become clients. This is what private equity wants healthcare providers to call patients now - clients.
All true.
This would help mass shootings AND cops shooting people who are supposed to be innocent until proven guilty.
We used to have an assault weapons ban. It worked. So they let it expire. Voila! Bigger donations to politicians, bigger gun maker profits, and lots of dead Americans. Priorities for republicans. But like they say, we’re all going to die, right? They just want us to die sooner and more tragically.
Can you just imagine if Obama did this?

Innocent until proven guilty.
Innocent until proven guilty. Ya know, due process to see the evidence of guilt. Why is this still not happening?!? How is ICE still getting away with skipping this basic foundational and inherent right of all persons on u.s. soil. Innocent until proven guilty.
“‘the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice’ …It doesn’t bend on its own. History tells us we often have to apply force needed to make sure that the arc gets where it needs to go. This is one of those times.”
Whoa
Ya think congress would DO something about that, rather than just report the news of it.
🥴😳🥴
Come and petition the king, who will respect that you’ve come to petition the king. Ay yiy yiiiiii

Controlling the counting and tabulation seems to have work in 2024. The rest seems redundant when they can just do that again.

That y’all have allowed him to walk all over the law shows how grossly unfit for office YOU all are.
Looks like he wants to be Librace.
Great leaders understand the need for disagreement, dissent, and debate. But perhaps no one understands it better than the soldiers who have lived through the consequences of plans made in echo chambers.
Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."

Wow, red state homicide rates are crazy. Not visiting those cities!
"Ask yourself why." Red states contributing National Guard troops to Trump's military occupation of Washington, D.C. have cities with higher crime rates than D.C.
Yep
I know you, Chicago — and I know you’re up to the difficult time we have ahead, thanks to this President.
I like Walz. He shouldn't have been muzzled during the election. He's much better off the rails.
I mean, it’s on hinges. So seemingly that section is a gate that was welded shut for shipment or placement then cracked back open. But like, everybody has gloves. Black paint is just stupid. But it will make a croney contractor a ton of money.
Gov. Pritzker: “Earlier today in the Oval Office, Donald Trump…asked for me personally to say, ‘Mr. President, can you do us the honor of protecting our city?’ Instead, I say, ‘Mr. President, do not come to Chicago. You are neither wanted here nor needed here.’”
She was right.

Pritzker gets it.
The fact that this linguistic genius has a bit of a lisp just makes him even more charming.

Happy cows
I laughed out loud. It really is.
I can’t get this out of my head. It would be so cool if you could get some really great painters to do uncorrected vision paintings and hang them along their corrected vision paintings and call the exhibit, Vision. SOMEBODY SHOULD DO THAT!
Having painters paint what their uncorrected eyes see, would make an astounding exhibit.
These are insanely impressive

This admin is definitely creating a new class of millionaires with all these illegal detentions and breach of contracts with employees and grantees. So many lawsuits, our heads will spin.
Socialism? More like communism.
🔥 STEWART: “This is the lie they tell you — that all this money flowing towards corporate interests is actually for YOUR benefit…. That government intervention for corporations is our ‘FREE MARKET’, but government intervention for workers is ‘SOCIALISM’.

New Senate Report Details How Private Equity 'Devastates' Hospital Systems "Private equity comes in, squeezes the life out of hospitals and doctor's offices, and then leaves patients and communities in the lurch," says a report from Sen. Chris Murphy. www.commondreams.org/news/private...
When Ted Turner asked Carl Sagan if he was a socialist, Sagan gave the answer America keeps failing to learn.
