Let’s survive this 1000-alarm fire together. Also, not to be morbid, but if you’re going to protest—get a will, health care proxy & power of attorney. If you’re unable to act, you’ll want to appoint someone you trust to act for you. (Free legal advice.)

This interview has almost 1 million views in four days and has generated a big new wave of interest in "The Nerd Reich." Here's how I explained tech fascism to DW News (German public media) on a windy beach near the Golden Gate Bridge. 🌉 www.youtube.com/watch?v=2176...

For the fabulously wealthy, paying taxes is pretty much optional. They can borrow against their vast wealth, which is mostly an untaxed capital gain, without paying taxes. When they die, the capital gain goes to zero. And loopholes exist to bypass the estate tax too.

“Nobody will ever deprive the American people of the right to vote except the American people themselves, and the only way they could do this is by not voting.” ~President Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1944. Image: FDR Presidential Library.

It’s exhausting to wake up every morning and see what new hell Trump has triggered while his GOP enablers applaud or stand idly by. Please vote so we can start the necessary accountability agenda.

😳 #GOTV let’s vote R’s out of office so we can avoid this (I wish I were joking)…

OTD in 1947, House Unamerican Activities Committee (HUAC) began publicly investigating "communist infiltration" of Hollywood. Ten film industry individuals refused to name names and were later indicted for Contempt of Congress. Many others' lives & careers were ruined. Image: Cal State-Northridge.

How are we not through 50% of the DJT nightmare yet? #GOTV for Dems across the board to minimize the continued damage done by DJT patsies. We on the left disagree on many issues. But the entire world is now living through the results of US voters abstaining or voting 3rd party in tight races.

Meta throttling No Kings, Musk throttling Starlink in Ukraine, TikTok throttling "Musk" movie account. Collusion. Murder. Abuse of power. Self-enrichment. Social media isn't just enshittified, it's become a RICO case.

First.The narrative that diesel prices in America are heavily impacted by Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries is completely fabricated. ​Second.The sanctions waiver Trump just granted to Russia is using the fabricated narrative above to make it look like it's in America's national interest.

There is only one exit ramp off this highway to hell, and that’s to vote out every Republican. Every. single. one. OUT. Vote blue with righteous vengeance.

Creepy Nazi Mike Johnson says fascist republicans will do “exactly what we have been doing” if they retain their disastrous control of the House. Meaning they’ll continue their destruction of the United States. Mike isn’t a Speaker, he’s a terrorist and he can fuck all the way off to a jail cell.

For the folks in the back: CEOS ARE PAID *325* TIMES AS MUCH AS THE TYPICAL WORKER! 📣 It hasn't always been this way. It doesn't have to be this way. When workers had more power, CEOs were paid 21 times as much as their workers. Workers, it's time to take your power back. #FormAUnion #UnionStrong

Elise Gould@elisegould.bsky.social

New data alert 🚨 - CEO pay surged in 2025, rising 14% to an average $27.9 million - CEOs are paid 325 times as much as the typical worker in their industry - Between 1978 and 2025, top CEO pay rose 1,316% compared to only a 28% increase for typical workers www.epi.org/blog/ceo-pay... #EconSky

"Election officials and lawyers noted how surreal it is, even after a decade of Trumpism, to treat the nation’s duly elected president as the primary threat to the freedom and fairness of American elections." Yes. Always keep this front and center.

disturbing the level of resources & time that election officials, elected Dems, & others across the U.S. are devoting to preparing for if Trump tries to sic ICE, troops, or armed feds on their polling sites @justinglawe.bsky.social & I take you behind the scenes on how: zeteo.com/p/inside-dem...

Public prayer, or posting the 10 Commandments in schools is not intended to promote religious values, but to enhance the authority of some churches and some political views over others. It is about power, not about religion. The Constitution clearly intends there should be freedom from religion.

I'm a centrist Democrat, but you can count on me voting for a progressive if I'm given the choice between a leftie and a fascist. My vote against Trump Republicans is in the bag, because I know there's no moral high ground in withholding my vote if I don't get everything I want.

Michael J. Stern@michaeljstern.bsky.social

Liberal Hasan Piker says he will not vote for Newsom over Vance, if that's the match up. This is a big problem for Democrats. But people like Piker never think that candidates who cater to exactly their preferred policies will alienate other Democrats. This narcissism keeps Trumpism alive.

Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are all socialistic policies. Does he propose ending all of that?

Colorado Gov Jared Polis (D) is getting attention from the Right for his recent criticism of Democratic Socialists. “Socialism is a failed economic theory,” Polis told FOX’s Sean Hannity tonight. “I think it’s important to talk about the dangers of socialism.”
