Corporate ownership of single family homes is the main driver of the housing affordability shortage. Restrict home ownership to Primary Residences only and we’ll be set.

Palantir sells AI tools that help law enforcement agencies like ICE analyze massive amounts of personal data.

It's a big reason why it is quickly becoming the most dangerous corporation in America.https://youtu.be/x_VwyhErd88?si=4Ptdx0tQBOBOUin1

Health insurers are jacking up premiums while raking in billions in profits.

Expiring ACA subsidies will saddle millions of Americans with massive monthly premium increases.

Is it any wonder that 63% of Americans now support Medicare for All?

Sunday Sermon

Atheism is not a philosophy. It's a conclusion.

Amen.

Lol, imagine if Britain told black Americans that we own Botswana, so we moved back to the country and started a wholesale slaughter of native Botswans using weapons sold to us by those same colonizing powers.

Would you be defending our right to slaughter those indigenous people?

Me to my family when they start praising AI

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running.

This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social hired former FTC Chair Lina Khan to run his transition team. She's an excellent pick with an eye for rooting out how big corporations are making your life unaffordable. One way they're doing that? Surveillance pricing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cbtUYshYM8

America doesn’t have socialism we have “trickle-up corporate cradle-care.”
We lecture people about handouts, then shovel subsidies, tax breaks, and bailouts to the richest guys in the room.
It’s not a free market; it’s welfare, but only for CEOs.

Wise words on tolerance from Karl Popper – a former patron of ours – for #InternationalDayofTolerance

I stand with unionized Starbucks workers, who are on strike across the country right now for better wages and working conditions.

Until Starbucks strikes a fair bargain with its workers and ceases its union-busting behavior, I'll continue to boycott the company.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

We founded this country on the concept of tolerance. It was a land inhabited by Pagans. As a country it was founded by Christians, who where fleeing other Christians; it was founded by Christians who wanted religious freedom. So they founded a secular country. That's America.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Democrats can't defeat Trump-MAGA authoritarianism without an agenda that stands squarely on the side of working people.

We need a pro-worker, pro-democracy, anti-establishment movement that will take on oligarchy like never before.

It starts with the party rejecting Big Money.

If I were to defy a court order, I'd be in jail, not building a ballroom.

Reopen government, swear in Adelita Grivala, release the Epstein Files, restore healthcare subsidies, and fund SNAP.

Hearing a LOT about how #ZohranMamdani is a #Communist and how #NYC is going down a dark path after his election and it’s scary for the country. Let’s get the facts right before we have this discussion and I think we will all agree he is nothing if not a reason for optimism

G. Gibson took this portrait of a demon while on a post-Halloween walk today, in an alleyway behind Fir Street

I always find it interesting how the story changes when a lawyer gets to court. They can say anything they want outside of court without accountability but the rules are vastly different in court where you can get seriously penalized for lying.

SNAP has existed for 60 years. Benefits have gone out every single month over those six decades, including during government shutdowns. Until now.

Make no mistake: The money is available to fund SNAP during this shutdown. Trump is making a choice to withhold it.

Don’t forget this.

I've given my new Senator a lot of shit on here. But I don't think anyone with power has laid out the stakes of what we're facing as clearly as she does right here.

And if she's saying this, it's because she feels she must.
