Google is uniquely invasive. No other company surveils you so deeply or makes escape so difficult. They don’t just harvest and monetize your data—they hand it to governments on demand. Breaking free is tough, but possible. Here is how to escape. psychopete1.substack.com/p/the-infini...

The arrogant looks on the faces of those two deeply unselfaware men not realizing they have not scored a goal, but have instead humiliated themselves, is priceless.

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. In 2025, he made 1,794x more. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers? I will continue my boycott of Starbucks.

The NYT ignores the fascist pledge and creepy religious video from convention... egregious sane washing that spares it from calling out maddness and fascism that has overtaken Rs. Not a single Sunday host will grill Rs on the insanity there.

Just gonna share this again.

The parties of the Likud, "Jewish Power", Religious Zionism, and the new "People of Israel" party are all running on an explicit, unabashed platform of the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from Gaza as the "solution". Rabbi Kahane's racist legacy is the Israeli government's policy.

Dolly Parton's family asked that, in lieu of flowers, fans make a donation to the singer's Imagination Library. Here's what the charity does ⬇️ www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

Most of us have had it with big money in politics. Hoping that the tread we are seeing of some candidates winning despite huge financial disadvantage is a sign of things to come.

Hi, my name is Anne. About 6 months ago I dropped my WAPO subscription, Amazon account and have not walked into a Whole Foods.

Trying to figure out why El Sayed is considered far left. Is it bec he supports public health as do all other industrialized gov'ts? Is it bec he doesn't support a genocide, consistent w most Americans? Is it bec he doesn't believe in corp spending in elections, as was American law til recently?

www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a... The Middle East is already in a tinderbox with the illegal war against Iran, the genocide in Gaza, the bombing of many countries in the region by Israel and Iran. I fear a Jewish Israeli takeover of the Temple Mount could trigger WW3.

Wild to see US cities pursuing these huge redevelopment projects without effective transit plans. If this were a European or Asian city, 7200 future homes would mean a light rail branch at the minimum. Instead, because the US can't afford to build anything, the area might get some bus improvements.

The next time Tom Homan tells people to "just comply" with people dressed as police, remember that House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were murdered, and state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife Yvette were shot, by a man dressed as a cop who was not a cop.

OSSOFF: I heard a president who is, as always, focused on his personal shame and humiliation, and above all, focused on his personal fear of the accountability that will come when we win this fall

Can someone explain to me why we’re diving are diving head first into AI?

Looking forward to the Fox News segment that explains how this is different from Mamdani’s city-run grocery stores.

I appreciate the @theguardian.com’s willingness to call this group what it is. Neo-fascist group Patriot Front parades Confederate flag in Washington DC on Fourth of July www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Fascists marching in the capital, assured of protection from their President and indifference from much the plutocratic media, marking the 250th anniversary of the American experience.

You gotta hand it to karma

The return of legalized horror and racial violence to our country.

The return of government sanctioned racism and horror.

We should all follow suit.

I don’t know man, who is “the Democratic Party” if it’s not the voters?Democratic voters choose candidates, not party leaders. And party leaders need to listen to what voters are telling us - and right now they are demanding our party be bolder.

Europe is currently experiencing an unprecedented heat wave. The US government is paying companies to stop plans for wind farms. Tech companies are building mountains of energy-sucking data centers. This is unsustainable, literally www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Israel treats West Bank as its dumping ground- those parts of it, at least, that they haven't stollen for Israel's own illegal settlements.

Happy Juneteenth, may we all be liberated

the reason dsa candidates are winning is because theyre saying theyll do actual things to make peoples lives better and identifying billionaires as an obstacle to those things, its not super complicated or anything

Nice thing to see on my way home.

If walking costs you $1, we all pay $0.01. If biking costs you $1, we all pay $0.08. If bussing costs you $1, we all pay $1.50. If driving costs you $1, we all pay $9.20. Via study that still underestimates climate cost. This isn’t about choice. It’s about who pays for your choice. #citymakingmath

The pedestrian, the metro and the bus also beat the car in #Paris.

I just wrapped up a manuscript that described the Civil Rights Division helping to *de*segregate universities in Alabama and Mississippi, so it's more than a bit jarring to see the current head of the Civil Rights Division pushing things in the other direction.

Trump has lied about states that count slow. States that count fast. States that have little mail. States that are all mail. He invented reasons why Cruz didn’t beat him in Iowa, made up false claims about people being into New Hampshire—none of which were about a slow count.

After a Wisconsin town did this, the mayor said: “The fact that they didn’t take the cameras down shows that we are the product. They were never really selling to us in the first place. They're selling to much bigger agencies the ability to spy on a ton of people.” (via boltsmag.org/verona-wisco...)
