working people are being buried in bills.

It is contemptible that @mattyglesias.bsky.social and @jessedjenkins.com et al. are condemning activists who fought the LNG buildout while claiming to be on Team Affordability.

They know @ieefainstitute.bsky.social and @tysonslocum.bsky.social is right.

It's not that hard to find who are the real leaders of the Democratic Party now
Yesterday, ICE murdered an American citizen.

The only way to prevent future horrors is to prosecute and ensure full accountability up the entire chain of command.

We're better than Kazakhstan
According to this ranking, Canada’s reputation has improved since 2024. We are now the 2nd most reputable country in the world.

The United States has dropped from 30th to 48th in that same year, the biggest drop of any nation BY FAR. Its reputation-peers are now Kuwait, Algeria, Kazakhstan…

The fascists who seized control of the United States believe they live in the imaginary world of Fox News and X (and now CBS). If we do not stop them, their fantasy will become reality, through ever rising lies, terror, abductions, torture, and murder.

Tyrants have only one playbook.
A woman in Minnesota was shot and killed by ICE today. We all saw the video, and the Trump administration is lying about it.

On Monday, the U.S. Congress came to a bipartisan, bicameral agreement that climate change is still real. This partly green, partly polluter-powered appropriations vehicle rejects the Trump regime’s fossil-fueled nihilism and imperial disdain for Congressional authority.
