Billionairism is a social disease that must be eradicated for humanity to survive.
Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do.
Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.
Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
Let me take a moment to say FUCK THE TEAMSTERS and fuck every fake union that didn’t fight harder to stop this and refused to endorse. There was a CLEAR pro labor candidate. Fuck. The. Teamsters.

This is a good time to bring up RFK Jr's role in a major measles outbreak in Samoa in 2019.
Over 𝟴𝟬 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 died. 𝙈𝙤𝙨𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢 𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙧𝙚𝙣.
RFK Jr has blood on his hands. He's not fit to have any say about vaccines.

Good morning.
Keep making those calls!
((☎️)))
🚨 Ask for your representatives and tell them to vote NO on RFK Jr!
Capitol Hill switchboard

Because oh my god. 👇🏽
Sound up. 🔊
We now DEFINITELY know too much about this man to allow him near Capitol Hill!

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”
Reminder: there is a straight uninterrupted line from the post-2020 “comedy” of Dave Chapelle to the erasure and persecution of trans folks by this administration. That’s what happens when comedy punches down; it empowers the cruel. I hope his token dead trans friend he uses as a shield is happy.
America is effectively unique in that it allows Employment at Will, which means workers can be fired for any reason or no reason (with a few exceptions). EAW is rejected elsewhere because it leads to this kind of situation, in which human lives are used to protect profit.
I think it's important to never lose sight of the fact that there is nothing organic about the anti-trans legislation.
It's all a part of a large pys-op by Christian Nationalist groups.
There was actually backlash to early anti-trans bills🧵

The movement to hijack the SCOTUS started about 40 years ago. Those same folks are trying to replicate that on the state level.
None of us can go back in time and stop the federalist society and the rest of those ghoulish groups from being founded but we can stop their dark money now.
True North Research dropped a report detailing how the same forces who took the SCOTUS, are going to go after state courts next.
Educate yourself; it's not a long report.
They even tell you what YOU can do to fight back.

TRUMP: We are pausing federal funding.
MY BOSS: Hell yeah.
CLIENT WITH GOVERNMENT CONTRACT: We need to talk about our service agreement.
MY BOSS: Wait.
The video is too long for me to post here. But this is a link to Caroline Kennedy reading her letter to senators about her cousin Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
In a nutshell, she depicts him as an unqualified, deranged, drug-addled, corrupt, and lying sociopath.

Trans people do not have the ability to be honorable and trans at the same time.
Like the ignorant fucks who wrote this policy even understand what honor is.
When the Trump administration first set out its transgender stance there was a fair bit of support from some UK commentators. Will thus be interesting to see the response, if any, to the move into very open prejudice (you can’t be “honourable” or honest and trans, and so can’t serve in military).
*raises hand
Because we've let the press consolidate in the hands of right wing billionaires with a vested interest in the hollowing out of informed consensus and real journalism, replaced by shallow ad-based controversy infotainment designed largely to disorient, distract, and coddle power?
Yet *another* GIFT to Democrats to thwart the anti-trans hysteria that cost them an election. Yet another gift they will not capitalize on because they are dumber than fucking rocks and can’t communicate their way out of a wet paper bag. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
Trump just called Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) a “fantastic guy”
MBS ordered the brutal murder of US-based journalist, Jamal Khashoggi
What Trump didn't mention is that MBS is funding the construction of a new Trump Tower in Serbia
This story has been ignored by most media outlets
Sergeant Gonell @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections."
Each defendant assaulted him.
Trump exploded in fury at Bishop Marian Budde on Truth Social a little after midnight, calling her a "hater."
As we argue on today's pod, there is nothing MAGA despises more than appeals to common decency and humanity.

Historian here this is the difference between northern and southern churches going back to the Civil War when they split over slavery. When fundamentalists try to claim abolitionists today, nah they are sanctuary churches today that Trump has included in his mass deportation order along with schools
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"
Just a reminder that, if Dems could communicate their way out of a wet paper bag, $20 million in antitrans ads could have been TOTALLY NEGATED had Dems talked about Imane. What’s your definition of woman, GOP, and why doesn’t Imane fit it?

🔴The Confidence Trick That Propelled Donald Trump and the National Populists Into Power
How Donald Trump won the support of working class Americans, while selling out their interests to global plutocrats like Elon Musk

As Trump unleashes vile attacks on Democrats over the Los Angeles horrors, a leading historian of conservatism explains how this fits into the right’s broader project of degrading public life.
If you want to understand that no, Mark Zuckerman isn't some harmless money-grubbing schmuck, go read the truly shocking "Mindf*ck: Cambridge Analytica And The Plot To Break America" by whistleblower Christopher Wylie. You will have trouble sleeping after reading this book.
Them, an intellectual: Threatening tariffs on Denmark lol, how much blue cheese does the US eat?
Me, a medical writer: Have you heard of Ozempic?
Them: ...
“About thirty minutes before the town hall was due to start, a [Trump] senior aide started getting text messages from a person on the inside at Fox…images of all the questions Trump would be asked and the planned follow-ups, down to the exact wording. Jackpot.”

Is the WAPO having issues?
After all tons of us cancelled them when the oligarch didn't endorse Harris.
There are better papers. A lot pf us don't do the Bmore Sun anymore because it's owned by a felon-er grifter & pervert.
But, there is always my fav @thebaltimorebanner.com 🥰

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.
We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
Our reporting showed the Facebook event had been reported *455* times for concerns of violence but Facebook left it up.
When violence erupted, Zuckerberg said FB acted to take it down. But even that was wrong. Our reporting showed a page admin deleted it.

Everything stated in this post is a provable fact.

Looking at YOU, 2020 election-deniers.
Together? Shared values? @SenatorFischer, your husband refused to look at VP Harris. He refused to shake her hand. Did you approve of his behavior? Do you agree with that type of indecency & lack of civility? If not, call it out or take your version of "shared values" & shove it up your ass.
