Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

We’re not changing it.

remember: its not a data center its a surveillance data processing complex

I have not stopped crying since I first saw the news of Dolly Parton passing away.

Dolly 😭 I will always love you!

And since Trump and Republicans don’t really care about the Constitution: Obama 2028.

On the 91st anniversary of Social Security, these words from FDR are just as important today:

If all income in excess of $400,000 were subject to the Social Security payroll tax, Social Security’s solvency would be guaranteed forever. We could also expand Social Security benefits. There’s no reason even to consider reducing Social Security benefits or raising the age of eligibility.

🔥 @jamestalarico.bsky.social : “The only minority destroying America is billionaires: Trans people aren’t taking away our healthcare. Muslims aren’t defunding our schools. Immigrants aren’t cutting taxes for themselves + their rich friends… It’s billionaires & their puppet politicians.”

PLEASE SHARE POPCORN

A young dad with a toddler in the backseat. A father of 3 on his way to work. A mom who had dropped her 6-year-old son off at school. A VA nurse helping a woman pushed down by masked federal agents. Enough is enough. Abolish ICE.

Ranking Member @peters.senate.gov led the entire Democratic caucus to oppose the President's attempt to hijack USPS. The Postal Service has one mission: to deliver mail to millions of Americans reliably and affordably — not to act as an election administration agency.

When Republicans can’t win, they change the rules. When they can’t change the rules, they cheat. When they can’t cheat, they resort to violence.

Zohran Mamdani and AOC aren’t the main reasons democratic socialists are getting elected. Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Donald Trump and Mike Johnson are the main reasons democratic socialists are getting elected. Eventually, people start to realize who’s keeping them poor.

Quite a contrast:

That was my initial thought too.

It’s genuinely jaw‑dropping to watch people willing to torch our nearly 250‑year experiment in democracy just to follow an increasingly unstable, criminally convicted reality‑show charlatan.

Again, please share. In every aspect of American history you will run smack dab into the critical contributions of Black people. It’s not Black history. It’s American history. Trying to erase it is a fool’s errand. We live it every day. time.com/5836444/blac...

In honor of the true heroes on this Memorial Day, I fixed it. #DonaldTrump #MemorialDay

A history of the top marginal tax rates on the wealthiest Americans: 1940: 81% 1950: 84% 1960: 91% 1970: 72% 1980: 70% 1990: 28% 2000: 40% 2010: 35% For 50 years, corporate backed politicians in Congress have slashed taxes to line the pockets of their wealthy donors.

Trump stole money from your Medicaid for these freaks to cash out, and any elected representative who isn't loudly opposed to his slush fund is helping him rob you.

No one in this regime will face federal criminal accountability unless we reform the Supreme Court first. That's what folks should be running on. That should be the lesson of the Jack Smith prosecutions: it doesn't matter who the AG is.

Roslyn Carter once said Ronald Reagan, "makes people comfortable with their prejudices." Trump didn't create MAGA, he just brought it out from under its white sheet and put a red hat on it.

Welcome back to Canada, President Obama. Thank you for joining us in Toronto for important conversations on how we can build a better and more just future — and empower more people to build with us.

I visited the Pentagon recently and remarked to my escort there were lots of bathrooms. He said it’s because the Pentagon’s in Virginia and when it was built Jim Crow laws were in effect - the separate bathrooms were for blacks. As we saw in Virginia today, the past isn’t dead. It isn’t even past.

I've never heard earned wealth phrased this way, but she's right about it.

And the Supreme Court cries foul..fuck them all

Can reporters stop using the word deal? It’s an agreement, a settlement, a treaty, an understanding, an MOU etc. Using the word deal is accepting his simple-minded TV game-show framing and contributes to the bogus drama he is trying to create.

Don't forget: my old Yale Law classmate Clarence Thomas refused to recuse from Jan. 6 cases despite his wife's involvement in the plot. And he's taken at least 100 gifts worth over $2 million while serving, including from GOP donor Harlan Crow. He's a disgrace to the Court.

Boycott Jeff Bezos and his Met Gala.

In 1933, Justice Louis Brandeis said: “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.” What he said was true 93 years ago. It’s even more accurate today. Let us choose democracy over oligarchy.

Stupid, ignorant...not usually words associated with the president.

How is this being treated as normal? A Republican governor is declaring a state of emergency to cancel n ongoing election for Congress. If you think this is ends with redistricting, you are not paying attention.
