“Authorities from France to the Netherlands are quietly removing American tech from their systems, adopting European open-source software and urging civil servants to no longer use Microsoft Teams or Office.” www.wsj.com/world/europe...
🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴 After qualifying for the next round of the World Cup, the entire Norwegian squad sits on the field and starts rowing together with their fans in the stadium… simply wonderful 🤩🤩🤩
America has an extremely well funded, powerful, *minority* contingent that thirsts for an apartheid state. Its interests are represented by Republicans. Your support for Republicans is support for apartheid. Those are the stakes (always have been).
When we win, the first bill I’m filing is a comprehensive anti-corruption package:
Overturn Citizens United
Ban corporate PACs and super PACs
Ban members of Congress from trading stocks
Once we defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this entire corrupt system.
Jeff Bezos went on TV to whine about Zohran Mamdani to stop demonizing billionaires. The very next day Mayor Mamdani responded by forcing Amazon to pay $9M in fines accrued by Amazon delivery trucks for illegally idling.
This is what happens when we elect a mayor for the people—not the corporations
📌NOTE: Any so-called journalists lowering themselves to attend a dinner featuring a violent, wannabe dictator who has referred to them a “pigs, horrible, stupid, or the enemies of the people” need their heads (and motives) examined.
MOST IMPORTANT: They can never be trusted again.
I remain very charmed by Afroman's choice to respond to a police raid on his home by cranking out a bunch of bangers skewering the individual cops who broke down his door. When he starts cracking up right after belting out "RANDY WALTERS IS A SON OF A BITCH," I laugh every time.
We will find the identities of the federal agents and achieve justice for the murders of two American citizens under the Constitution and the laws of the United States. Period.
16 years ago today, SCOTUS sided with big corporations over the American people in their infamous Citizens United ruling.
That decision paved the way for unchecked & secret money in our politics & helped billionaires & special interests buy more elections.
We must reverse it.
New in PN: Democrats need to shut down Trump's terrorist government
"Democrats should reject any pretense of political normalcy while Trump’s goons wage an ongoing terror campaign against their own constituents. With government funding running out soon, the time to take a stand is now."
🧵 The autoworker at the Dearborn Truck Plant is a proud member of a strong and fighting union—the UAW. He believes in freedom of speech, a principle we wholeheartedly embrace, and we stand with our membership in protecting their voice on the job.
The UAW will ensure that our member receives the full protection of all negotiated contract language safeguarding his job and his rights as a union member.
Workers should never be subjected to vulgar language or behavior by anyone—including the President of the United States.
The Virgin Democratic Party Establishment Candidate: "ICE isn't coordinating with local police. This is no way to bring down prices!"
The Chad Episcopalian Bishop: "I have instructed my priests to prepare for martyrdom."
Apparently the US government can kill people on the high seas, in other lands and on its own streets—and nothing will be done to stop it. The US is now a gangster state at home and a rogue state abroad, writes dag
Renee Good should still be here.
She was a beloved child of God, with inherent value and infinite worth.
She was murdered by her own government in broad daylight in what is supposed to be the greatest democracy on the planet.
I’m running for Congress in NY-12, my home.
We have a demented, criminal president running the country like a mob operation—government by the boss, for the boss.
We need Democratic fighters who will defend the rule of law and deliver government by the people. Join us.
Pipeline safety regulators have imposed their largest fine ever on the company responsible for leaking 1.1 million gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico off the Louisiana coast in 2023.
Trump is the Putin of the Western hemisphere and should be treated as such including being prosecuted and personally sanctioned—along with his top officials—by other nations. If there is no punishment for this attack, he will 100% repeat it. My article: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/trump-shou...
The 50501 movement is demanding that Congress block President Trump from continuing military action in Venezuela & to impeach both Trump & Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth for waging an illegal war against the people of Venezuela,
orchestrating a coup, & engaging in an illegal occupation.
James Talarico: Christian nationalists walk around with a mouth full of scripture and a heart full of hate. Don't tell me what you believe. Show me how you treat other people, and I'll tell you what you believe
James Talarico: Why do we have a trillionaire when veterans are sleeping on the streets? I’m all for success, but this is not success. This is hoarding. The reason poverty still exists in the wealthiest country in history is not because we can’t feed the poor. It’s because we can’t satisfy the rich
We will always be fighting this about 30% of humanity whose brains are wired with a psychological need for security that is unattainable in this world and who have not matured as adults. Authoritarians appeal to these folks.
If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey.
This isn’t controversial.
A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.
We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community.
The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution.
Don’t give up the ship.
