As my dad has often said, it's not bad enough yet.

I would add, nobody cares about injustice on a visceral level unless it affects them personally.

My dad's been trying to sell the world on a framework for economic justice since 1962. At 95, he's never quit.

If the Democratic Party isn't playing this meme on a loop, we aren't doing it right.

Every local election should be a referendum on this administration.

It was great to see Virginia State Senator Dave Marsden on the overpass over the Beltway.

My 14-year-old self would never have guessed that, in 50 years' time, all the world's music would be available at the click of a button, you'd navigate the globe by carrying a tiny computer around in your pocket, and the US President would post a video of himself shitting over American citizens.

I saw many fellow Boomers at No Kings.

Dean Baker @deanbaker13.bsky.social · 11h

Blaming baby boomers for the problems of younger generations is popular in elite media, but it is not serious analysis. The problem is the rich and the generational stuff is a distraction deanbaker22.substack.com/p/my-generat...

My Generation: Blame the Rich, not the Boomers

Blaming a generational grouping is a coverup, not serious reporting

Friendly reminder that Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir drops Tuesday and contains the truth she wanted the world to hear about those who abused her and the cost of silence.

Buy it. Read it. Give the woman some justice.

Folks demanding political / ideological purity fail to see that this is no longer a movement belonging to the left / liberals. This is an opposition against fascism. By definition it must be big tent. Failure to grasp this: see divided oppositions in Eastern Europe as your failed examples.

#CancelSpotify

They are running ICE ads.

They aren't the only company, but I think we should make an example out of Spotify and do an economic boycott against companies supporting masked, armed agents terrorizing innocent Americans with impunity.

Spread the word.

F them.

Is Spotify running ICE recruitment ads? Here are the facts

The advertising "is part of a broad campaign the US government is running" across various platforms — not just Spotify, a spokesperson told Snopes.

You do you. Antifascists have already taken back the frog and the American flag. We can take Antifa from these malevolent fascist liars too.

FIRED DOJ LAWYER: “I responded up the chain of command - that’s a lie. I cannot sign my name to that.”

Erez Reuveni says he was fired by Trump’s DOJ for refusing to lie that KILMAR ABREGO GARCIA was a terrorist & gang member.

If every Democratic campaign doesn't lead with the #FelonKing 's diarrhea on the American people, something is very wrong with our leadership.

The AI video Trump posted of himself dumping shit all over America from a plane was metaphorically the most accurate piece of propaganda he’s put out this year.
