Grateful for the opportunity to help build something meaningful.

Why do people make the "young men shouldn't have their lives ruined by being identified as rapists" argument but never the "young men shouldn't have their lives ruined by being identified as murderers" argument? Misogyny.

Tomorrow, on October 1, the biggest transfer of wealth from the working class to the wealthy hits a critical milestone. Many of the provisions from the Big Ugly Bill will go into effect, harming hundreds of thousands of Michiganders in order to create tax cuts for the richest people in America.

An entire massive industry that has the potential to cause tremendous damage and destruction by their own admission completely unregulated because they have Trump and the Republican Party in their pocket. bsky.app/profile/atru...

The President of the United States is a traitor and a rapist.

CNN and CBS News are now under the control of the Ellison family. We need independent, pro-democracy media to grow. If you agree, please subscribe to Democracy Docket now. demdock.com/4w6emld

Mentions on Fox shows of the very newsworthy confrontation between Schmitt and Jack Smith: Ingraham (7-8pm): 0 Watters (8-9): 0 Hannity (9-10): 0 Gutfeld (10-11): 0 Fox & Friends this AM: 0

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

The fact is Trump not only lost his war but it's the biggest L the US has taken at least since Vietnam. Our bases are destroyed & abandoned, Iran is emboldened, China is toying w/ us. Hegseth & co want to move on to culture war slop, but they got routed & we'll be dealing w/repercussions for decades

Every GOP is to blame for the shit hole America is in right now, Every one, without exception

Way to go, California! Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill yesterday banning law enforcement (ICE) from using electric shock gloves.

Is Josh Hawley nervous about being dethroned as "Missouri's Most Incompetent Senator"?

I love that the U.S. government now has ideas so dumb that the fact checks are simply “yeah this isn’t a parody, it’s real”

WARNING: The Ellison family is about to own CBS News AND CNN. A judge just cleared the deal. Closing: days away. When one family controls what tens of millions watch, democracy loses a watchdog. Independent media isn't a luxury. It's your last line of defense.

I never ever thought I would see such a dangerous unhinged psychopath running the US military. We’ve had some bad ones, but never like this.

the bsky team is working on various ideas for creating smaller social spaces in the app. which use case is most interesting to you? 1. posting into "topics" that organize public posts 2. posting into "communities" or "groups" that can be public or private 3. posting directly to your followers only

25th Amendment? We can’t even get network news to air it or even mention it. It’s a massive national media coverup to hide the fact the we have an addled president.

Visitors to the US are on track to drop by almost two million year-on-year. “We’re the only major country in the world losing visitation,” the head of the US Travel Association said. “It’s mind-boggling.” www.semafor.com/article/09/2...

This 33-year-old nurse told the FBI she knew she was “going to set him free” after border patrol agents brought in a man whose face was bloodied and seriously injured. She treated him and helped him escape, and she faces charges now. He got away, and they never relocated him.

do men understand the extent to which women are ready to burn it all down right now

Just a reminder that the Secretary of Defense is a dangerous idiot

The White House accord on AI that was signed by all the big tech oligarchs today misspells United States as “Unites States.”

A study in valor. Imagine testifying against the most powerful criminal on the planet?

Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.

BREAKING NEWS: “Do geese see God” is a palindrome

I’ve been asked to weigh in on the debate over whether to bring an iced coffee to an interview. It doesn't matter. Iced coffee is NOT why it's hard to land a job right now, and it's NOT why Gen Z can't get ahead. Our economy is rigged. We need to change that.

I mean… there’s nothing intelligent about that man to begin with. So, I am not surprised at all. 😂

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (again) and hands the GOP senators' butts to them.

I for one think it’s bad that the president can just say crazy stuff all day every day and 99% of it doesn’t make the news because we’ve normalized having an insane president

What this young woman has been forced to endure is horrific and unacceptable. I’m holding her in my heart and in my prayers. To her, and to all survivors: you’re not alone. We stand with you.

I know Rahm Emanuel. I worked with him for years in the Clinton administration, and then when he was Obama’s chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel represents everything that’s been wrong about the Democratic Party for the last 30+ years. Be warned. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm-bomb
