Big Tech CEOs took turns lavishing praise on Trump at a White House dinner this week. Fascism backed by Big Money is one of the most dangerous of all political alliances. It happened in 1930s Germany, and itās happening again today. https://youtu.be/0LEnI9THvLA?feature=shared
As you know, I care a great deal about teaching and teachers. I wanted to share a piece written by a Minneapolis public school teacher titled āIām Having Some Thoughts About Teaching.ā Give it a read and let me know your thoughts. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/a-teacher-speaks
Trump's FTC just dropped its defense of Lina Khan's ban on noncompete agreements. Noncompetes trap workers in their jobs and prevent them from using their skills to earn higher pay. So much for being the "pro-worker president." https://youtu.be/xtKoXuRxNI8?feature=shared
I'm old enough to remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.
i like that the administration is run by dilettantes whose pathological unseriousness is illustrated by their total disregard for human life
There was never a plan to lower your grocery prices.
The richest 100 billionaires in the U.S. have a net worth totaling $3.86 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is collectively worth $4 trillion. Read that back. Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.
Thanks to Trump's funding cuts, PBS will lay off 15% of its staff. Trump wants to exert control over the news and information that the public receives ā or doesnāt even receive at all. Itās a hallmark of dictatorship.
Attempting to rig elections on his behalf. Turning the military on citizens. Toying with the idea of declaring martial law. Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out against his regime. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?
The seeds of Trumpās destruction have already been sown. Between the crashing economy, his brazen corruption, and the Epstein scandal, it's a question of when ā not if ā he's done for. Let's break it all down on an all-new Coffee Klatch. https://youtu.be/qOhcfr9_n9M?feature=shared
Iāve spent a good chunk of my career relying on American science and engineering to keep me alive. Yesterday, RFK Jr. testified at the U.S. Senate Finance Committee. It was sad to see him try to destroy the lifeās work of so many American scientists. He shouldnāt be in this job.
Yeah this is real. Mike Johnson said Trump was an FBI informant in the Epstein case.

NEW š§µThe White House has now issued its first formal legal justification for the lethal attack on a vessel in the Caribbean. This War Powers report to Congress is long on bluster and short on substance. This letter does not adequately justify the premeditated killing of apparent civilians. 1/n
It seems painfully evident that we lacked legal, moral, or other justification for the killing of eleven individuals aboard a small boat in the Caribbean. It is also entirely clear that the Trump administration, having begun by obfuscating and lying, is now simply stonewalling. They fear the truth.

After previously speaking with Andrew Cuomo, Trump is now trying to boost his odds in the NYC mayoral race by offering jobs to his opponents Eric Adams and Curtis Sliwa. Let's be clear: there's only one candidate that Trump and the oligarchy truly fear ā and it's Zohran Mamdani.
