His behavior was entirely predictable from Jump Street. But we had to try out the KnowNothing Grifter, so now we pay the price. We will resist the takeover, and we will win this fight.

When Republicans are pre-butting a pro-democracy rally like No Kings and making shit up left and right to scare people, you know they're losing and in panic mode.

We have two bubbles, AI is going to be like the dot com bubble and the tech companies that make up the Magnificent seven are the new Nifty Fifty and I have a feeling one is going to pop the other right as we're entering a recession from Trump's trade wars.

I saw the dot coms crash from a front row seat. AI is running out of money way faster.

The evangelism is insecurity from people who made the wrong bet. I’ve seen it before. futurism.com/future-socie...

BREAKING: President Obama issues a stark warning—authoritarianism isn’t creeping anymore, it’s sprinting.

Around the world, leaders are silencing dissent, controlling media, and twisting justice into a political weapon. His message is clear: democracy won’t survive if we stay silent.

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

This is your daily reminder that healthcare should be universal, and free for all!

Our healthcare system is broken!

Trump & Republicans want to make it worse by kicking people off their insurance, and making sure they can’t afford healthcare!

"If you wanted to weaken America's public health capacity without saying it outright, this is how you'd do it — remove the people who connect the dots, steady the ship, and keep the public informed [CDC official]."

The only way out of all our problems, almost all, is a massive antitrust law. If we don't break the power of the corporations and their oligarchs, forget all hope for a democracy.

Illinois law requires all registered vehicles to display front and back license plates, without exception. But to evade accountability, masked federal immigration agents are driving around in unmarked cars without plates.

Federal immigration officers wear masks, no name tags — now some drive cars without license plates

The Sun-Times has documented four unmarked cars carrying federal officers without required plates, offering another way to shield their identities. Federal officials say they’re meeting regulations.

Too many Republicans cover up for billionaires and predators.

Speaker Johnson needs to swear in Adelita Grijalva ASAP so Americans can learn the truth about the Epstein files and Arizona's 7th district has representation in this critical shutdown fight.
