2025 is about earnestly standing up for what you believe, and it’s especially powerful when what you believe in is helping the people who need it the most. What a super idea. youtu.be/3A30rZ7cyYU?...

I love how Superman is an anti-establishment defender of the common man. Nice break from the usual “superhero as cop” archetype.

It turns out that "nobody" saw the Texas floods coming by design, this disaster has a culprit and their names are Donald Trump and Elon Musk. #3E #EndAutogenocide
“Nobody could have seen this coming.” In fact, it was entirely foreseeable. When governments undermine or defund the systems & experts responsible for monitoring environmental and weather conditions, it eliminates warnings and leaves people unnecessarily vulnerable to disaster.

Zohran Mamdani just showed Democrats how they can win in 2026 and beyond. I wrote up my thoughts about how Zohran broke through and how Democrats can use his playbook across the country. I hope Dems are paying attention. open.substack.com/pub/timfulle...

every single member of the senate democratic caucus voted to confirm marco rubio as secretary of state. there was not a single dissenting vote.
Here's what we are reading today: Marco Rubio marked Russia Day by expressing U.S.' support for the Russian people and reaffirming the U.S.' "constructive engagement" with Russia to bring "peace between Russia and Ukraine." This is the 1st time the U.S. has marked Russia Day.

Trying to recreate the Obama success is why Hillary and Kamala failed. Rather than do something, they just reused the Obama campaign even when it didn’t match their personalities. Why else would Kamala drag back that has-been David Plouffe?
its perfectly fine to break with obama, biden and clinton. they did their thing but theyre in the past. we especially need to be rid of the constellation of consultants and hangers-on that orbit them. people like carville and axelrod do not understand modern politics and they didnt make dems win.

once again my full throated support and endorsement for any democrat who pursues criminal legal accountability for the DOGE boys. and i’d be fine with shipping these guys to the Hague
Two of Musk’s most strident goons manually, one-by-one, killed lifesaving programs even those Rubio wants credit for trying to save, on Musk’s orders.

makes sense. what the administration wants more than anything is to completely pollute the information environment with as much nonsense and propaganda as they and their allies, foreign and domestic, can pump out
SCOOP: sources tell me that the State Dept plans to eliminate its only office to counter foreign disinformation, as soon as today, delivering a win to foreign governments like Russia, Iran, and China—and the office's mostly conservative critics. www.technologyreview.com/2025/04/16/1...

This is, in large part, pandemic revenge. As far as these oligarchs are concerned, all science does is tell them stuff they cannot do. They can't keep spewing carbon. They can't keep businesses open as usual when millions are dying. They have concluded that research is the enemy of profit.

i mean honestly look at this shit from one of the most prominent media reporters in america. republicans want to abolish npr/pbs cause its one of the few journalistic outlets not tainted with cash to the same extent as the msm press. but in brian's pov its a "both sides" deal cause dems are pro-it.
Discussions about PBS/NPR funding are predictably polarized, with one side trying to protect the existing funding and the other side trying to strip it away. But what if we started from scratch? What IS the right amount of $$$? 👇

Ryan Cooper's reporting on Trump and Musk's cruelty is unparalleled among journalists. Everyone must read and share everything he writes. Definitely deserves a Pulitzer Prize for his work.

Today, American consumers are being encouraged to abstain from purchasing any non-essential goods as part of a 24-hour buying blackout that aims to showcase the economic power of everyday people. The goal is to advocate for “economic resistance, government accountability, and corporate reform.”
