Personally, I prefer tan suits to brownshirts.
(WaPo) Trump's ineptitude in diplomacy plus his tariffs are opening the door wide open for China to unite various leaders around the world against the US. Certainly not a thought that Trump ever had; then again, what thinking does he do anyway? www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...
He wonāt let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
I'm still waiting for the relentless onslaught of media demands for a press conference and calls to resign.

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Streetās greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.
A must for reposting.
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.

A great city needs leadership that shares our values, leadership that can anticipate the future and ensure that all residents share in it. A leader brave enough to stand up to bullies & blaze the path forward. Thatās why Iām voting for @wutrain.bsky.social Mayor Wu on primary day.

Clean energy isnāt āwoke.ā Itās an essential part of our energy future and saves us all on power bills. This administrationās war on offshore wind and solar is just going to raise Americansā utilities.

Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve on the Minnesota shooting: "The sad thing is we can't sit here and tell them that help is on the way. Because we're not going to do a damn thing about it."
Those who have the power to stop mass shootings can go to hell with their "thoughts and prayers." Do something about it, you evil bastards.

Walz: "It boggles my damn mind that in the midst of a military takeover of our cities, the flaunting of the rule of law, that the press finds the need to talk about, 'Oh, there's a division in the Dem Party.' There's a division in my damn house & we're still married and things are good. That's life"

The outrage isnāt that Ghislaine Maxwell lied ā thatās who sheās always been. The outrage is that the U.S. Department of Justice rewarded those lies with real benefits ā and more are still coming. This isnāt justice. Itās a state-sponsored cover-up ā and they think we wonāt notice.
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."
Listening to my mother talk about not having the option to attend Kindergarten in Jim Crow South Carolinaā¦ She holds a doctorate degree. Sheās traveled the world. When I say our existence is miraculous. You absolutely cannot tear me down because my ancestral line keeps me.
When a person commits a crime, they wear a mask. A perfect example is an ICE agent.
Iāve heard military law experts advise, if you are given an illegal command as a soldier, do not blindly obey. Call your attorney. Obeying an illegal command can result in a court martial.

Hereās what was NOT released today: - the proffer agreement between Maxwell and the DoJ - the agreement transferring Maxwell to club fed - communications showing who waived Maxwellās sex offender status allowing her transfer and possible work assignments outside prison - the Epstein files

Illinois tells Bondi that its sanctuary status stands firm.
The clearest picture of corporate greed in this country is CEO-to-worker pay ratios. At the 100 lowest-paying major US companies, CEO pay averaged $17.2M in 2024. Median worker pay at these companies was just $35,570. Thatās a ratio of 632 to 1. How can anyone defend this?
Art of the deal.
