🔥 OBAMA: “The thing is, Iran didn’t have nuclear weapons — because I put a deal in place he pulled out of… and the war he started is why the price of everything is UP… how much time do you think Hegseth spends looking at himself in the mirror? These are not serious people.”

🔥 Country Singer @bryanandrewsmusic.bsky.social : “Everyone asks how I became so far left in such a rural area… they’re confused when I say it’s BECAUSE I grew up in a rural area. Who do you think Trump’s war is hurting? Not city guys driving Teslas — It’s the Iowa farmers 🧑‍🌾 using diesel.”

When a teenager who isn't old enough to vote can see why 218 House Republicans rubber-stamping 1 person is a danger, it is time for everyone to pay attention. Understanding the system is the first step toward changing it. Show up, flip Congress, & protect our future.

What joy to know some will do what is right. So long delayed and denied. But finally commitment to truth.

JON STEWART: “They began covering their ass 3 weeks after 9/11… There was poison in the air, on the ground, on your pets/clothes… THE CITY KNEW. Rather than limit the damage, they covered it up… After 9/11, business will never be usual again.” (From @mamdanibulletin.bsky.social )

What is the path to protecting dissent when dissent is being defined as terrorism?

1/ Rubio held a summit to export Trump’s crackdown on left-wing groups to US allies. Britain sent its top security chief and told no one. A FOI request exposed it. This is what a domestic crackdown looks like when it goes global. 🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

The beginning of the Midnight Special session is good, and shows their Indigenous roots. This is how I knew them. Made me think of the Premier of Manitoba, Wab Kinew's musical past: his hip hop band, "Dead Indians" and support of other musicians like Leonard Sumner www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAWq...

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

Outgoing Senators John Cornyn and Thom Tillis are reportedly undecided about Todd Blanche's nomination for AG. A single GOP "No" vote in committee this Thursday could tank Blanche's nomination entirely. Call and tell them to reject Blanche: (202) 224-3121

China just got a heliostat plant – a concentrated solar power (CSP) station using a large field of computer-controlled mirrors, [heliostats], to reflect the sun on to a tall central tower – to power 170k homes a year and save 130k tons of CO2. The US is getting a ballroom.
