This is your reminder that there's no such thing as a perfect candidate and while complaining is totally valid, harm reduction is incredibly important and you should still vote! ❤️❤️❤️

Per a new report from House Democrats, Trump's DOJ is withholding evidence of his ties to Epstein and slow-walking the complete release of the Epstein files. It's time to end the cover-up and expose the truth. Remember this when you cast your ballot. www.ms.now/news/house-j...

Just to be clear... Prop 40 is a ONE-TIME retroactive tax. It applies ONLY to billionaires and would tax just 5% of their wealth — which grew 30% in 2025. California's billionaires would still be worth $2T+ AFTER the tax. The revenue will fund healthcare for millions of Californians. Vote YES.

Google co-founder Sergey Brin, who's spent $100M+ against California's Prop 40, spent the weekend dining with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago. These billionaires keep accidentally proving why we need a billionaire wealth tax.

Poverty is a policy decision. Concentrated wealth is a policy decision. Inequality is a policy decision. Economic inequality is not some naturally occurring phenomenon. It is the consequence of choices. One question I always urge my students to ask: who is the market organized for — and why?

Inflation eating up worker pay. Household debt and student loan defaults at a record high. 8 million people have lost healthcare the past year. 5 million people have lost food stamps — including 2 million children. Trump says, "Pretend I'm on the ballot" ahead of the midterms. Please do.

$2000. That's how much your household has already spent this year on Trump's Middle East War. Congressional Republicans won’t lift a finger. It’s time to vote them out.

You know that trope about time travel, that if one could travel back in time they would kill baby hitler? We are currently in the baby hitler phase, but instead of the holocaust, we could prevent nuclear war. Who could hack the nuclear codes? That's right, ai could. And, why wouldn't it.

22 California billionaires have spent a combined $150 million to defeat Prop 40. Their combined wealth in January 2025 was $439 BILLION. By September 2026, it had grown to $722 BILLION. They're accidentally making the case for the billionaire tax better than anyone else could.

It was Lin Farley a feminist journalist and lecturer at Cornell University. She used the term in '74 during consciousness‑raising sessions. The term gained national attention after a 1975 speak‑out organized by Cornell women, including Farley and Carmita Wood.

John Roberts has spent his entire career trying to kill the Voting Rights Act. Now his Republican-appointed majority is dusting off arguments once used to destroy Reconstruction to roll back the gains made during the civil rights era. The latest from @AriBerman & @pemalevy: tinyurl.com/3m6nawpj

My big 750-student undergraduate course “Wealth and Poverty” course focuses on where Trumpism and inequality intersect — and why. I hope it will provide some helpful context as we head towards the midterms. Please join me, and please spread the word!

The crime for driving drunk is about the potential for harm. The new crime being committed by AI is negligent genocide. Civil forfeiture means that we should seize the assets of all of the major AI proponents while they await trial.
