What’s the difference between a trillion dollars and a billion dollars? About a trillion dollars

Jon Bois@jonbois.bsky.social

it's unbelievable to me that someone could actually be a trillionaire. i think most of us have trouble internalizing how much money that truly is. let me put it in simple terms for you: a trillion dollars is three million dollars

Rahm’s anti-left views are held by many center-left elites in media and politics. And he is pretending to run for president in 2028 (doubt he actually runs because he knows his odds are very low.) So interviewing him can be framed as “news” and he bluntly makes anti-left points centrists agree with.

Stop trying to make Rahm Emanuel happen. It’s not going to happen.

The fact they’re arresting people who are assembling peacefully instead of the federal agent who just executed one of their residents is pathetic. Up to this point I have been pretty careful not to get to this point rhetorically but we’re over the edge, there’s a burden of responsibility.

State police declared an unlawful assembly here on 26 st and said they will arrest everyone. In response the protesters moved closer. Riot vehicle is here

Seeing Zohran instantly getting a bunch of shit done in like a week makes you realize that politicians could always do that on some level if they wanted it bad enough and very few of them actually do.

NB: When I, a professor of law, profess that an act is unlawful, I am not doing it to inform the lawbreaker, but rather to inform you, the reader. So the question “what, like you think he cares?” is inapposite. The question is whether *you* care. I think you should, which is why I bother.

Straight up war crime

Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes. If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

When you help preside over economic policy that is both inflationary and nonsensical and tell average Americans struggling with affordability that they should deal with it by finding a new place to live.

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

The military has now killed 27 people as if they were enemy soldiers in a war zone and not criminal suspects. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/14/u...

NBA gonna speak up about this BS happening in its teams cities across the country? Will they publicly assure fans that attending games is safe?

Sanders: I am not a great fan of the affordable care act. I believe in medicare for all. I think that health care is a human right, but I will be damned if I'm going to see people in Vermont and around this country see a doubling in their premiums.

Donald Trump is using federal agents to stoke fear and violate constitutional rights — all with the aims of expanding his control and sending military troops to our cities. It’s unlawful and un-American. We must all stand up and speak out against fanning the flames of violence.

/9 By the way - we should also fight the inclination to abandon the rule of law because bad people are cynically abusing it. First, while bad things happen on a national scale, every day on a micro scale advocates use the rule of law to fight injustice and improve lives.

Our loved ones with cancer are not waste, fraud, and abuse. They’re our neighbors who deserve care. But this admin's cuts are kicking patients off of treatments that could save their lives. President Trump, reverse these cuts immediately.

Under pressure from the White House, the Smithsonian has removed Trump from the impeachment exhibit at the History Museum. The exhibit now says that “only three presidents have seriously faced removal,” referring to Johnson, Nixon, and Clinton. The exhibit now looks the way it did in 2008.

the right wing media ecosystem is so efficiently set up to take random posts from non public figures and turn them into pseudoevents. to the point where the entire social media system rn really just favors their viral propaganda machine.

Media Matters for America@mmfa.bsky.social

Since Monday, Fox News has spent an hour and 25 minutes covering an American Eagle commercial in which Sydney Sweeney talks about her “good jeans,” and just 3 minutes of coverage to developments in the administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein saga.

I always watch battleground Senators like Warnock and Ossoff. If they’re not afraid to do the right thing, blue state Senators have absolutely no excuse.

the more atrocities you see the powers at be commit, you really start seeing the same justification points over and over and over again. this veil of unknowable pre-existing health conditions is constantly used to manufacture consent for police killings of unarmed black people. (i.e. george floyd)
