It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

"Congress controls the money, the confirmations, the subpoena power, and the impeachment power. The past two years have shown what happens when it declines to use them. The job of the opposition is to use all of them, at full strength, from the first day."

Cancel his government contracts ASAP.

Rigging a map to pick your own voters? John Roberts wrote that federal courts can’t stop it. “Beyond the reach of the federal courts,” he called it. Nothing is beyond the reach of Congress. Retweet if he should answer for it.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

‘tis true

I would spend a small fortune for an app that blocked all Democratic fundraising texts to my phone forever.

DC Statehood Now.

Great idea. Even his Maine neighbors don't want him anymore! www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/u...

NEW and UNREAL: Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of a military-grade version of Starlink relied on by Ukraine. Musk must be charged with MURDER and all his assets MUST be seized by state governments!! www.wsj.com/world/ukrain...

And you think it does, you’re not only NOT “pro life,” you’re pro tyranny, and you have no moral compass. Shame on MS AG Lynn Fitch. What a horrid and soulless ghoul. 2/2

At least Trump has now shifted his endless sexual harassment to Republican men.

Also, we now know that Tommy is a paid right wing nationalist plant.

Lol. ya think?

since California ballots are now out: prop 40 is the billionaire tax, and you should vote yes to stick it to them but both props 41 and 42 are designed to retroactively cancel the billionaire tax because they’re afraid they can’t beat it at the ballot box yes on 40, no on 41 and 42

Mike Johnson is relying on his faith to hold control of the House. So if he loses control of the House, we can all reasonably conclude that God dislikes Mike Johnson as much as the rest of us.

Before Citizens United, the top 15 political contributors spent just $15 million on the midterm election. Now, the top 15 have spent $962 MILLION. That's up 6,400%. THIS is why our system is so rigged. We really, really have to end Citizens United and tax the rich.

My lefty socialist opinion: Giving my rich uncle Social Security as a kind of blackmail payment so poor people can get it is a stupid and unsustainable policy. Changing it will take courage and creativity, but just handing checks to rich people isn't going to last.

Marjorie Taylor Greene comes out with a statement opposing the raid on Ilhan Omar before Chuck Schumer, the leader of the Democratic Party

Nine FBI agents who were fired for their work on the Trump classified documents case are suing the bureau and director Kash Patel for what they say was unlawful retribution. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

a bit strange perhaps, but aloneness is everything it’s cracked up to be

Not one of these members of Congress had their houses searched even though they all plotted and attempted to carry out a coup.

The worst part of Trump buying Russian diesel is that he and Jeffrey Epstein raped kids. For years.

This is as treasonous as it gets

how long before the US is bombing Ukraine and Gaza directly, rather than just paying Russia and Israel to do it?

You do not have to be a parent to feel anger at the details in the latest investigation by @isabelaalhadeff.bsky.social and @samanthamichaels.bsky.social. But the white-hot rage I felt as a dad reading this is going to stick with me for some time.

The saturation of sports betting not just in ads between innings, but *during* the actual #MLB #Playoffs broadcasts is really turning me the F off. Sports Betting & Polymarket/Kalshi crap need Tobacco-level advertising regulations.

Have they tried voting for Democrats? www.wsj.com/economy/truc...

Noone ever investigated who removed the panic buttons from all the congressional offices in the weeks leading up. Noone ever investigated the private tours that were given to the insurrection leaders in the weeks leading up. Noone investigated why local PD and National Guard didn't respond.

joe biden is the most powerful president in american history, able to control world events from his home in delaware, far away from the trappings of the presidency. biden, god emperor, manipulator of markets and media. bow before his grace, first of his name.

The Renew Deal is objectively better than: “the New New Deal.” Renew acknowledges that the Democrats have made some mistakes, and it promises that we will have to try some new things.

I know Rahm Emanuel. I worked with him for years in the Clinton administration, and then when he was Obama’s chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel represents everything that’s been wrong about the Democratic Party for the last 30+ years. Be warned. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm-bomb

Rather than suspending the gas tax, maybe we could limit the subsidies to oil companies and use the money instead to reduce the national debt, or to finance renewable energy initiatives! Oil will run out long before the sun stops shining!

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.
