The call to get rid of “beardos” in the United States military is coded racism. Black men are disproportionately affected by PFB, which is the biggest reason for shaving waivers in the armed forces.

AOC: The girls are fighting aren’t they

💥 BREAKING: Shareholders of Merck & Co one of the largest pharma companies in the world, voted today to reject an anti-DEI proposal, 99-1 percent. Merck Board recommended shareholders vote against proposal that called for eliminating "discriminatory DEI milestones" from executive compensation.

Start every day with this reality: EVERY HOUSE SEAT and 33 Senate seats are up for election in 2026. THAT must be the focus. Let’s get disciplined. #LeaveNoPowerOnTheTable ballotpedia.org/United_State...

Right now, Republicans in Congress are trying to push through a bill that would put millions of Americans at risk of losing their health care. They want to cut federal funding for Medicaid, take away tax credits that help more people afford coverage, and raise costs for working class families.

Hot Take: The NJ Transit strike is just a transportation department ruse … you’ll be so late to arrive at Newark airport that you’re relieved that your plane is delayed 5 hours!!

So many videos are circulating of ICE agents acting with cruelty and aggression. Behavior that eerily mirrors the “domestic terrorism” they claim to oppose. No one is forcing them to act this way; it’s a choice.

"Under the annual appropriations act, lawmakers are permitted to enter 'any facility operated by or for DHS used to detain or otherwise house aliens.' The law is clear that members of Congress are not required 'to provide prior notice of intent to enter a facility'..." www.cnn.com/2025/05/10/p...

If you wonder why men *obsessed* with the United States having more children are kidnapping children and sending them to other countries, those children were the incorrect color.

Citadel founder Ken Griffin extended his criticism of the Trump administration’s trade policy, saying that tariffs won’t bring back American manufacturing jobs the way that the president anticipates and the country should play to its strengths instead.

“IDEAS”

Howie Roseman says the #Eagles won't even scout players who have ever been violent with women: “I won’t even watch them. I don't even want to talk. I can't go 'He’s really good, he did it 10 years ago and he learned from it.” It just doesn't work for us." #FlyEaglesFly (🎥: The McShay Show)

Today would be a great day to ban members of Congress and their families from trading stocks.

It’s a recalibration of economic control. Oligarchs don’t live paycheck to paycheck. They have the capital to buy market dips and recoup faster, acquiring more assets at fire sale prices along the way. When the dust finally settles, they will own more. The rest of us will own less. A lot less.

What’s really going on with the economy? I believe Trump and his billionaire buddies — the American oligarchy — have a plan. They want a recession. robertreich.substack.com/p/why-trump-...

WHO estimates that six in 100 people, including children, with COVID-19 will develop Long COVID. In the U.S., one study estimates that 11 million people live with Long COVID.

America’s real national emergency is Donald J. Trump. robertreich.substack.com/p/america-is...

Planting lettuce requires precise work. A machine carrying 4-6 persons will drop the seedlings into pre dug holes in each row but there is a farm worker who follows behind to esnure the plants are grounded and also to catch any missed holes. #WeFeedYou

To the world: We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. —With love, Your American allies.

Take care of your neighbors and friends, you're going to need community more than ever.

Carney: The system of global trade anchored on the United States.. is over. Our old relationship of steadily deepening integration with the United States is over. The 80 year period when the United States embraced the mantle of economic leadership… is over.

America just shot itself in the nuts to “own the libs”

Americans may not comprehend the gravity of our situation, the rest of the world most certainly does. open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Dark Pence is back.

Apparently there are 8 pro-labor Republicans in the House.

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: It has come to my attention that several agencies are now offering WiFi for you to use with your PERSONAL devices. If I were you, I would NOT use that WiFi. I suspect it's a way for DOGE to monitor your personal communications.

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

Thank you @booker.senate.gov for the life you’ve breathed into us for over 24 hrs. 💙 Signed, A grateful and beleaguered Nation

Does anyone know where to get random things like vitamins if we aren’t shopping from Bezos, Walmart or Target??

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: I am here today to urge Canadians to avoid travel to the United States if at all possible and to call on our government to stand up for our citizens who are being denied their rights through arbitrary detention in the United States.
