looks like Musk is back on the menu boys
NEW AD: Have you seen these anti-Talarico attack ads? Elon Musk paid for nearly all of them. The world's first trillionaire knows if he drags the most corrupt politician in Texas across the finish line, Ken Paxton will owe him everything. Elon Musk: Texas is not for sale.

This NFL is run like a plantation, where Black Bodies are bought, sold, and traded for the benefit of white “owners.” 🏈 Anyone who still watches the NFL but claims to care about social justice and otherwise “woke” issues, is being very squarely hypocritical. Bury me under this hill.
Eagles QB Jalen Hurts, who is out for the season after several blood clots were revealed in his lungs. Before the London game, Hurts was in the hospital until 4 am and did not sleep because sleep was a risk. He played the game without having slept. Crazy.
Medicare for All and dismantle private insurance completely. No more profiting off of people’s health.
Oregon is the first state to have every Democratic Member of Congress as a cosponsor of Medicare for All! This is a huge step forward towards making universal healthcare a reality in this country. Which state will be next?

The objective should be dismantle meta. The world doesn’t need it.
Mark Zuckerberg should understand that Republicans won’t always be in charge. If Democrats take the Senate, he will be forced to answer to Congress about his company’s abuse of tax credits to avoid paying its fair share while it builds AI data centers.
Hey @motherjones.com how about nocrediting your source. @marisakabas.bsky.social had this before 4am. Stop stealing reporting.
In a clip that quickly went viral Saturday night, Democratic US Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed countered a bigoted question about his Muslim faith at a Michigan town hall with a lesson in American government.
Homeowner, far from wealthy.
Taxing wealth gains from home ownership does not tax the "working class" it taxes the wealthy. Alternatively, we could somehow disallow wealth gains from homeownership, which come from exclusion, but taxation is fair and appropriate too! Property taxes are always better than sales/income tax.
Let’s tax billionaires out of existence before we add more tax burden to the working class. Property taxes are used to close the gap that declining tax rates on the wealthy create.
Bluesky today reminding me that there are a lot of homeowners out there who consider themselves diehard progressives but will turn into Grover Norquist the second you suggest that taxing the wealth held in their homes is fine and good.

The United States is the most-policed nation in human history. If more police made society’s safer, the United States of America would be the safest nation on Earth. And yet, here we are.
“In recent years, many Americans have decided that their country’s problem was that it had too many police officers, when in fact its problem was that it had too few,” Malcolm Gladwell writes:

A crumbling little bigot.
Ossoff: "At last week's debate, he couldn't even bring himself to say he's stop the production of neo-Nazi propaganda from his own house. Did you see that? I told Mike we could shake on it. All he had to stop neo-Nazi propaganda from his house for 3 weeks. He refused! ... a crumbling little bigot"

Yes! Speaking some truth to power!
🧵🧵🧵 The NY Times posted a 15-minute video today in which I got to tell NYT what’s wrong with its coverage. They said they saw my critical posts on Bluesky and invited me to do a video with them to air my grievances. Weird, right? I didn’t hold back. I blasted their sanewashing of MAGA extremism.

Stop. Incorrect. Wrong from the standpoint of the individual and of institutions—not sure why you’re trying to distinguish manifestations of the same racism. Racism requires social/institutional power. ONLY white ppl hold this power. Whiteness was designed that way. Please educate yourself.
Racism as an institutional tool is one thing. Racism does not distinguish by race or percentage. If you hate an entirety of an ethnic group based on a percieved shared trait you're a racist. Now, being a racist diesn't confer power unless the instituition supports it, which is one sided in N America

Ah yes, I remember when Trotsky wrote about how Russian workers should be replaced by low wage immigrants from China so that strong Russian boys would have more time to play girls ice hockey. It's right there in the manuscript.
Q: How do you define socialism personally? JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports

Man, imagine you're minding your own business, getting kind of drunk with your friends at a picturesque brewery in Maine, when suddenly John Roberts walks by and you get to start heckling him. Must have felt incredible. That's the dream. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/u...

The death penalty is, and always was, cruel and unusual punishment, violating the 8th amendment. Abolish state execution.

So tired of this petty bullshit.
United States President Donald Trump issues executive order instructing federal government agencies to "use the terms 'Super Intelligence' and 'SI' in place of 'Artificial Intelligence' and 'AI' and will not acknowledge the usage of 'Artificial Intelligence' and 'AI' in any applicable setting."
