When every corporation in America was invested in a publishing industry near its peak. When the most reliable way to sell shoes and winter coats was alongside a local Information monopoly. Also the single reason Republicans decided to create Fox News and break the system.

When journalism was cool. And risked everything to challenge power.

Car headlights are too damn bright, and I'm doing something about it. Brightness has doubled in the last decade due to LEDs, but manufacturing standards haven't budged in 40 years. Both drivers AND oncoming traffic deserve visibility – & this is a serious issue for seniors and on our rural roads.

Trump visited the so-called “Alligator Alcatraz” detention center in the Everglades. During that visit, he suggested something quite radical: the deportation of U.S. citizens, including those born in the United States, to facilities abroad.

$45 billion for ethnic cleansing

It’s one thing to say they want to deport 20 million people, it’s even one thing to go nuts brazenly doing whatever you can as the executive branch to make it happen, but the fact that they’re going to give ICE an additional 45B shows how committed they are to seeing this through.

anil isn't kidding. this level of transparency and detail — talking to voters like adults — is remarkable. i would imagine it also helps people feel like they are part of something bigger. and, christ, mamdani is insanely charismatic and good on screen. like, you just want to watch him talk!

This @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social video is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The numbers he cites, the strategy and results they produced — it’s the future. When have you heard *any* campaign talk about this, ever? (Video split in 2 to fit in Bluesky’s limits)

As we’ve reported before, ICE facilities are rife with human rights violations. Now, the Department of Homeland Security is trying to hide them, formally requiring members of Congress and their staff to give seven days’ notice before visiting immigration detention centers.

The MAGA Administration does NOT speak for the TREES!!!!

The U.S. Senate is currently considering a budget reconciliation bill that quietly includes language that could devastate our public lands. It would: - Make over 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale - Mandate the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and BLM land

Netanyahu has been raising the specter of an Iranian nuclear weapon since at least 1995 and now is using that as an excuse to start a war. Almost all Iranians want freedom from the Islamic Republic of Iran. Despite what you might hear, tho, my people’s liberation will not come from foreign bombs.

Four Democratic members of Congress from Illinois, Jesús “Chuy” García, Danny Davis, Delia Ramirez, and Jonathan Jackson, were denied entry to an ICE facility in Broadview, just outside Chicago, despite federal policy allowing them access without prior notice.

Schatz: People are seeing what chaos really looks like. We are on the brink of some very dangerous developments in the Middle East, and we have chaos inside the US—not chaos the federal government can’t control, but chaos the federal government is, in some instances, precipitating or making worse.

“The best way to honor our parents' memory is to do something, whether big or small, to make our community just a little better for someone else." Beautiful statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman.

His ideas are fresh and new and he’s meeting the moment on his feet with intellect and confidence. He’s not smug and he is authentic. This is the way 💙💙

@smith.senate.gov: "I think [Mike Lee] was sort of stunned to be coming face to face with somebody who was really calling him out on his bullshit... The way that people like Mike Lee and others on the right take advantage of the worst kind of human tragedy and political violence... is unacceptable."

America is no longer a full-fledged democracy.... Trumpists, however, haven’t yet fully consolidated their hold. America still has a chance of reclaiming itself from the grip of brazen corruption, mindless destruction, and contempt both for the rule of law and for our erstwhile allies. -- Krugman

Maybe it’s time to elect people to keep us safe, huh? Gun control. Data control. Oh and how’s about HUMAN RIGHTS?! Yeah those keep US safe too. All of us.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

Ok anyone there wanna run?? 💙💙💙

Gov. Kay Ivey Monday set an election for early next year in the Tuscaloosa-area House seat, which includes the University of Alabama. The seat became vacant after Ivey appointed former Rep. Cynthia Almond, R-Tuscaloosa, president of the Alabama Public Service Commission.

Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts? Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”
