The FCC will allow the sovereign wealth funds of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, & Abu Dhabi to own nearly 50% of a merged Paramount-Warner Bros — potentially giving them sway over our media. This of course comes after Trump received gifts or struck business deals with these countries. See the problem?

Wish the MAGA crowd would understand this.

It's been several years since Roe was overturned. What are we doing about this? Where's the collective action? Why are a majority of Americans compromising with an authoritarian minority that revokes women's rights? Why's it feel like this issue has become an afterthought?

1/ Republicans are cutting food stamps, disability, and healthcare for millions of people without passing a single law. All to cut taxes on billionaires. The trick is simple: fire staff, bury ppl in paperwork, & let deadlines do the dirty work for you. 🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. That’s what I think of when I read about data centers.

Very Well Said, Bruce….

Brutal photo caption from The Guardian: “Gianni Infantino carefully explains to Donald Trump that he is not part of the Spanish national team.”

So the CEO of Taylor Farms is a big donor to Donald Trump. His company was identified as being responsible for the parasite on the lettuce. Now suddenly, the FDA is sorry, but they made a mistake??? It never ceases to amaze me the myriad of ways in which this regime is corrupt.

Donald Trump had to pay FIVE MILLION DOLLARS for RAPE, and the press is virtually silent about it. RAPE, for fux sakes!!!! 😳

E Jean Carroll gets paid today. I am elated for her. Our prez is a rapist.

Mexico's getting universal healthcare. We have... algae.

Well here’s a sign

NEWS: While you were sleeping, the GOP (Guardians of Pedophiles) in the Senate voted to give $1.7 billion to domestic terrorist pedophiles as a reward for attacking the Capitol on January 6.

Breaking News: Louisiana erased a majority-Black congressional district, becoming the second state to do so after the Supreme Court weakened the Voting Rights Act​ last month.

Just. Stop. With. This. Framing. Louisiana passed a congressional map designed to deny African-Americans representation

Louisiana redistricts a black district out of existence: www.nytimes.com/2026/05/29/u...

📌Louisiana is 33% Black, and now has ZERO Black voting districts. But sure, go ahead and tell me our Racial Right Supreme Court and the Republican Party that owns it aren't bigots.

Peter Thiel fleeing to Argentina just like the Nazi scum that came before him, proving once again that tech billionaires are incapable of coming up with any new ideas.

Tech billionaire Peter Thiel relocates to Argentina, citing concerns about the U.S. future he was instrumental in driving the country towards.

Tulsi Gabbard just learned Tulsi Gabbard is resigning!

A Fulton County judge just issued a temporary restraining order forcing Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger’s office to allow poll watchers and State Election Board observers to monitor the tabulation and reporting of today’s election results. #gapol acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:...

The anti-data center movement isn’t just about limiting local development—it represents a new front in the fight against tech-enabled authoritarianism. Where else can people push back on job-eating algorithms, distorting deep fakes, and autonomous drone strikes? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

CROOKED CORRUPT AND COERCION

The federal government is offering local law enforcement incentives to join a program that gives their officers authority to make immigration arrests. Police leaders say the funds, which include money for salaries, equipment and vehicles, are enticing.

He’s basically a ladder pulling Uncle Tom.

People are still thinking we can get out of this by voting.. an election can’t solve this. Our electoral system is completely fucked. The last election was rigged beyond belief. That’s the only way they could get away with this shit. I’d have more hope if the states were doing ANYTHING to help.

Tennessee lawmakers aren't only redistricting right now to take power from Black voters in the state; they're also kicking other lawmakers, witnesses, and press out of the rooms where they're doing it. From the liveblog:

It's a bunker, not a ballroom. They're prepping for mass destruction.

Racist white lawmakers in Louisiana are pulling the same shit in 2026 that they did in 1869, overriding thousands of voters in majority-Black New Orleans in order to keep a Black man out of office this is part of a centuries-spanning war on multiracial democracy ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

Senate Republicans have just added $1 billion for Trump's ballroom in their latest budget bill. This is despite Trump repeatedly claiming no taxpayer money would be spent on the project.

Trump is using taxpayer dollars to bribe huge corporations to abandon wind farms that would lower consumer prices by displacing expensive polluting fossil units — a political pay-off to his big fossil fuel donors. youtu.be/O73_qd8YQus?...

no but let him inside so he can cuss out Bezos to his face.

It is difficult for the human mind to comprehend all the ways Bezos is shafting Americans. Start with prices.

Delete your Amazon. Stop giving Bezos your money. He has already more than enough.

Did Bezos contribute his own Pinkertons?

Fixing things will require us to reel in the oligarch class, remove their ability to influence politics, and redistribute their hoarded wealth Until we do so, nothing can fundamentally change for anyone

The people saying that gutting the Voting Rights Act has nothing to do with racism are the same people who say overturning Roe v Wade had nothing to do with women
