Nonviolent protest has been a powerful and effective tool for social change. This is why authoritarians at home and abroad are trying to crack down on free speech and dissent. Because if we lose the right to protest, we stand to lose so much more. Watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rvafufqH7g

J.D. Vance made a fool of himself trying to define socialism. Luckily, a growing majority of Americans aren't falling for his pathetic red-baiting scare tactics.

Huh. Apparently Katie Miller deleted this tweet that I had the foresight to screencap. Turns out I can TOO make things go viral on Xitter, even.

Why is Twitter/X directing me to an app/Google Play? I want to enter Twitter as a web page, as I have for 25 years!! I protest!! I feel locked out. Now I feel like I only have Bluesky, and if I lose that too, I will have no choice but to go to Upscrolled. If it comes to that, so be it!

In the David Hearn reflecting pool case the judge noted that Trump wanted Hearn (an innocent man) prosecuted “especially since … Hearn has donated to ActBlue, a Democratic-affiliated fundraising platform” & because Trump dislikes Hearn's lawyer, Norm Eisen. IMPEACH/CONVICT/REMOVE!

Ruby Bridges was 6-years-old when she stepped into the history books. Bravely accompanied by her mother, she was the first Black child to desegregate an all-white school in the South. It was not long ago… Today is her birthday. She is still with us. She is 72. Happy birthday, Ruby Bridges 💜

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.

We've got to do something about fascism-funding white supremacist Elon Musk. Boycott X. Boycott Tesla. Pressure the U.S. government to disinvest from Musk's businesses. He's trying to ruin the world's democracies. We must stop him.

Happy birthday to my old friend, Bernie Sanders. It's an honor to have been in the fight with him for all of these years. Bernie has more guts than any politician I know. Hell, he has more guts than just about anyone I know.

My goal is not to just win in 2026, but destroy Republican chances for next 3-4 cycles. MAGA/republicans have sabotaged America & aligned with billionaires at the expense of the 99%. 2028 Dems must win White House. 2030 Dems must save social security. 2032 need 8 years of Dem Prez to realign SCOTUS.

Charlie Cook, who's handicapped elections for decades, tells me he's never seen anything like the fiasco Trump foisted on GOP. "Rs are so underperforming," he says, that "the normal rules don’t seem to be applying." On the pod he explains why GOP may lose Sen/House: newrepublic.com/article/2151...

So 88% voting for Dems!? Hard to make a case this is your stance if you vote for republicans, who are all accomplices in the coverup. #Epstien #TrumpPedo

We need a merciful fan cut that covers over Elon’s arrogant, unhinged, stupid face throughout the 4 hours. I might be inclined to watch, but no way I can stomach 4 hours of that psychotic mug. #AlexGibney #MuskFilm

Musk is portrayed in the documentary as “petty, narcissistic, megalomaniacal, cruel,” and “detached from humans at a personal level”. The film also raises questions about whether the world’s richest person may have used his Starlink system to steal the 2024 election for Donald Trump.

The other day I argued Iran was just bleeding out the US to benefit China and Russia. This lays this out: Inducing the US to blow through its interceptors Forcing the US to withdraw from the Middle East

New midweek update out (first part free). The US might be running out of Patriot interceptors quicker than people realize--and that will matter more than Iran being deprived money. People have their heads in the sand about the real state of US power. phillipspobrien.substack.com/p/midweek-up...

American workers are taking home their smallest share of the nation's wealth since 1947 — even as corporate profits soar. Why? This chart has the answer.
