The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

One of the biggest legacies of 9/11 was the rapid growth of mass surveillance. Whether it's the PATRIOT Act, Palantir, or Flock cameras, Americans don't want more erosions of our civil liberties in the name of "security."

This is beautiful. We need beauty right now.

8,000 children singing together in one arena to celebrate the music of Bob Marley. This happened in Manchester, where school pupils formed a huge choir in honor of what would have been the legendary singer's 80th birthday. Thousands of voices singing at once made the performance unforgettable. 🫶

What the admiral says. US corporate media obsess over the handful of Democratic socialists running for Democratic nominations. They ignore the substantially larger number of military veterans who are filling the lists of Democratic candidates across the country.

The algorithm is bombarding us with Darlene Graham clips, but what folks need to do is immediately after watching one of those listen to Annie Andrews. Here’s one. Night and day: Unserious vs intelligent and thoughtful.

This is outrageous. A free press cannot function under constant threats and retaliation from the government. Reporters must be free to hold those in power accountable — without fear of retribution. The assault on the free press must end!

Playing in our faces

You’ve got to see this. Angie Nixon’s Café Resistance is so much more than a bookstore. It’s a community hub offering FREE tutoring, a food pantry, Black history classes, mentorship, mental health workshops, music lessons, healthcare resources and more.

"Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for all." Sounds good to me, @abdulelsayed.bsky.social. Let's ALL get out there on November 3rd & beat the machine!!! Go to: iwillvote.com ☑️ or vote.org 🗳️

Republican Senator from Montana. Trump constantly hurts farmers and ranchers. Then Republicans make us pay them billions in welfare to bail them out.

This is heinous. Nothing and no one is sacred with the godless monsters of this regime.

In 1971, Daniel Ellsberg leaked The Pentagon Papers exposing the lies told to the public about the disastrous Viet Nam war, forever becoming a hero in history. Now... someone PLEASE leak #TheEPSTEINFiles & end the biggest coverup scandal of all-time! 🙏

Arrested in Boston on cruise ship for possession of CSAM but not being prosecuted - only deported. 🙄 Yeah. CPB is REALLY serious about stopping child sex trafficking. I’m so sick of being gaslit by this Nazi regime. @massago.bsky.social @massgovernor.bsky.social nbcboston.app.link/lrZoidTTM5b

I don't know who needs to hear this, but an economy controlled by a handful of oligarchs isn't a "free market."

Was a combination of crypto and gambling operations used to disguise funding of Reform UK by drug lords? Farage's secret donors are linked to an unlicensed gambling platform. Cottrell is a key player of Tetherbet, which has no license, but took bets. Harborne's payment firm was used to move money.

💥 Israel is dropping incendiary munitions on southern Lebanon’s forests — deliberately burning wildlife, farmland, entire ecosystems, and the livelihoods of those who depend on them. This is ecocide. @sarahabdallah.bsky.social

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis appoints state AG Ashley Moody to the US Senate. She turns around and approves $10 million to Hope Florida, FRAUDULENTLY diverting money from Medicaid to a non-profit for his wife, Casey DeSantis, to spend on 2024 elections. www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/f...

Amy Goodman is in Tampa, Florida, today for two screenings of @stealthisstory.bsky.social. The documentary is about the history of Democracy Now! and the importance of independent media. Get your tickets now!

Trump is starting to lose something very important to him — and I’m not just talking about his mind. Watch.

Trump defines ceasefire: “It’s a different part of the world. I’d say in that part of the world, ceasefire is when you’re shooting in a more moderate manner." It quickly makes him a global laughingstock. And it isn't reported in US media. www.indy100.com/politics/tru...

Not gonna lie, this is a badass museum donation. 🇺🇸 Shonda Rhimes donated the Oval Office set from Scandal, the same one fictional President Fitzgerald Grant called home for seven seasons. Now it’s part of the Obama Presidential Center Museum

ActBlue is in court today & their fight goes beyond just one org Paxton's investigation appears motivated by politics, not legitimate legal concerns That’s textbook retaliation & that's why we @democracydefendersfund.org filed an amicus brief in support -TN

We hoped 37 yrs ago this horrific day + trade sanctions would change a China on the verge of adopting western values. Today, our own peaceful protesters are poisoned, maimed, and murdered in our streets by our own dictator’s regime.💔 📚💙 #booksky #books @dtv-verlag.bsky.social @wwborders.bsky.social

Proud to know and support @kim.senate.gov in his tireless efforts

“Illegal! You cannot intimidate voters. You’re in a polling place. Get the fuck out of here!” Trump’s ICE goons intimidating voters in California…

According to Andrew Weissmann, Blanche using sleight of hand; they’re not killing the deal. Trump still gets $1.776 billion. He still gets a sweeping civil liability shield. They only removed the J6 slush fund piece. Same jackpot. Less scrutiny. Worse than before.

Heartbreaking writing: "Trump is not a true fascist. Fascism requires allegiance to the state, which Trump lacks. The biggest threat to the US is not fascism but mafia state autocracy...controlled demolition by a billionaire criminal network, abetted by complicit actors within the US government."

Release ALL the Epstein Files!!! Just finished reading "Know My Name" by Chanel Miller. She was raped by Brock Turner (the Stanford athlete). I am furious. Another white male who received favourable treatment by our judicial system. Release ALL the Epstein Files!!! We DEMAND justice.

Kamala Harris just threw her weight behind Jasmine Crockett in the Texas Senate race 🔥

CNN will soon be controlled by David Ellison. If democracy is to survive, a vibrant independent media ecosystem is critical. My ask: cancel your Paramount/Warner subscriptions and sign up for as many pro-democracy outlets as you are able. You can start with Democracy Docket: bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Heads are going to explode 💥 Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third. All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit. 1/3

"Canada cannot claim to defend human rights while exporting armoured vehicles that will be used to terrorize communities”: @greenpeaceca.bsky.social calls on MPs to halt export of armoured vehicles to U.S. immigration agency ICE www.greenpeace.org/canada/en/pr...

Therein lies the problem. ICE is terrorizing Los Angeles, and local police are choosing not to enforce the law banning masked federal agents. This is how trust collapses.

A cautionary tale Republicans refused to learn. California tried this brand of cruelty. Prop 187 targeted immigrants and pretended it was “law and order.” Teachers and doctors were expected to turn families in. Kids were treated like evidence. It backfired. Hard. open.substack.com/pub/cwebbstu...

.@pabloreports.bsky.social : Were you satisfied with the answers you’ve gotten so far in this classified briefing on Venezuela? AOC: Oh, hell no. It was a joke. This was not a serious intelligence briefing. This was the communication of an opinion.

Holy fuck. That Canada/Reagan anti-tariff commercial just ran during the WS! Canucks trolling TF out of President Hoser. Elbows up!!!

So no terrorism then?

Los Angeles came out in droves. #NoKings

the idea of antifa paying protesters is so funny. if i wanted to get paid to destroy the government i’d run for congress

🗣 Repost if you agree, America does not have any kings and we do not want any! #NoKings

When we questioned why the U.S. spent nearly a trillion dollars and killed nearly a million people over twenty years in the Global War on Terror, we heard, "if we don't fight them over there, we will have to fight them here." The religious extremists are among us. #freedomofspeech
