Lions are matriarchal. Elephants are matriarchal. Orchas are matriarchal. Bonobos are matriarchal. Spotted hyenas are matriarchal. Ants and bees are matriarchal. We are surrounded by female leaders, even in the natural world.

You know something has gone terribly wrong when 94% of teachers have to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies while the average Wall Street employee got a bonus of $246,900 in 2025. Hello?

Why would they resume the program without knowing whether the gunman acted alone?

Refusal to vote is a valid form of speech, one that says "I reserve the right to be a condescending, smug prick that trusts our future and how the world perceives us to 200 million under-educated, over-opinionated American voters while saying "Don't blame me! I didn't vote!"

Michael Steele, the first African American chairman of the RNC, tells tRump that he’s “a vile, disgusting man, petty and pathetic.” Lots of good stuff like that. Maybe this will be the last straw? #ProudBlue #MichaelSteele #FucktRump #RobertMeuller

The Dow was at 43,488 when Trump took office. It just hit 50,000. So if you had invested $43,488 in the US, you would now have $50,000. But if you had invested the same amount in the rest of the world, you would now be worth $60,000. Lemme do a expla-youtube-nation www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYL5...

The only thing more powerful than hate is LOVE. ❤️🤍💙

When you’re losing hope. Take a deep breath. Close your eyes. Think back to when this guy was your president. When you could associate the presidency with class, decency and integrity. Now open your eyes And fight like hell to get someone like him back in office again.

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years. These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Everyone needs to know about Sascha Riley. Search “Boys are hard to find” on Substack and listen to the six part interview

Who agrees? ✋

I don’t know who made this, but it’s spot on!!

It's painfully obvious to anyone with a brain who is paying attention.

I think Americans are realizing that democracy is a participation sport, and the the government is ours if we want it to be. I feel like we got complacent and hoped some other third party would do the work for us. Seems like we have to learn that lesson every generation.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor. Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors. These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism. This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function. Every American should reject it.

Can't help but feel we're living through an increasingly existential war between spectacle and substance with spectacle winning battle after battle after battle.

Switching from Trump’s Amazon to the more diverse, equitable, and inclusive Costco is easier than you think. I made the switch. Now everything I need is delivered by Costco right to my door in two hours instead of two days - and without supporting oligarchs!

"There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people." - Commander William Adama, Battlestar Galactica

No due process means he decides your guilt or innocence. Not the courts. Not a judge or a jury. No longer will you be deemed innocent until PROVEN guilty. You’ll be declared guilty and snatched off the streets with no recourse. Is the wisdom of the Constitution kicking in yet?

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Fun fact: the International Criminal Court at The Hague does NOT recognize any immunity based on official title or diplomatic status.

Just so I am keeping everything straight…the government can’t tell you to wear a mask because FREEDOM!!!!, but it can decide you are a “terrorist” and send you to a foreign gulag without due process and throw away the key. That right?

We had the reporter on tonight; @maddow has the whistleblower

Karoline Leavitt is a liar, propagandist & accomplice to a criminal regime. “There is never going to be a world in which [Kilmar Abrego Garcia] is going to live a peaceful life in MD because he is a foreign terrorist & MS-13 gang member,” she said w/o evidence about a man who's committed no crime.

20,000 in ruby red Utah on their feet, in community, and ready to organize for a better world. A better world is possible.

As the economic news keeps coming out over the coming weeks keep one thing in mind: this is the fault of one man and didn’t need to happen.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

I'm no good with patterns. Can someone help me out here?

The question of if a country could fuck itself harder than the UK did with Brexit has today been answered.

I don’t do this often and promise not to make a habit of it, but just this once: WE TRIED TO WARN YOU!!!!!

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points. And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.

You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.
