New in PN: "Just making s**t up" — @volts.wtf sounds off on the EPA

“How the f**k are they going to do that? If you can get the Supreme Court to rule carbon is not a danger to public health, it will mark the point at which they have abandoned all pretense, because that’s just a flat out lie.”

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis

Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today.

We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

For the record, I 100% support an Amazon boycott — I personally do not use Amazon, Prime, or shop at Whole Foods. But a consumer boycott can’t be the extent of it. Workers need to organize, speak out. More protests. Power.
With Jeff Bezos's dismantling of the Washington Post and Amazon's extensive ICE and DoD profiteering, it's imperative to understand precisely how both have openly become instruments of authoritarianism

Amazon's tax bill plunges after GOP tax cuts
The 87 percent drop is largely due to a more generous depreciation break in the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act.'

Net Zero Billionaires 2030 includes Amazon
In related news about the Washington Post and the state of journalism today, Amazon "ran a $1.2 billion tax bill last year, down from $9 billion the previous year, even as its profits jumped by 45% to nearly $90 billion."

That's in the wake of the 2025 tax bill

Nice one by Brian Merchant. Read it in full.

One thing I'd love for people to do, instead of simply boycotting, which implies potential return, is to simply understand that you don't need Amazon, Prime or otherwise.

You have local alternatives. Use them. Buy direct. Buy less.

Never go back.

Trump said he would fight for “forgotten Americans.” I didn’t know that meant Jeff Bezos.

Despite making $89.5 BILLION in profits last year, Amazon paid just 3.1% in taxes.

This is what Republicans’ SNAP & Medicaid cuts were for.

Guess that ‘Melania’ doc really paid off.

First 60 Minutes, now the Olympics. How soon before Canada sets up Radio Free America?
This video is from the Canadian (CBC) broadcast. The commentators of the NBC live broadcast on Peacock (Mary Carillo, Terry Gannon, plus Shaun White specifically for the Parade of Nations) ignored the booing and kept talking. I’m wondering if it seems NBC turned the sound down on the boos too?
J.D. Vance was booed so badly at the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony that even the announcers commented on it.

“There is the Vice President J.D. Vance and his wife Usha—OOP, those are not… uh… those are a lot of boos for him. Whistling, jeering, some applause.”

American workers just took home their smallest share of the nation's wealth since 1947 — even as corporate profits soar.

Why? This chart has the answer.

Klobuchar: "Somehow 50,000 peaceful protesters in 10 below weather were able to march without any problems, and then the next day half a dozen ICE and CBP agents couldn't handle a guy with a cell phone taking video of them and shot him. I think it's pretty obvious what's going on here."

Across America and the world, people are realizing it’s not possible to appease America’s dictator.

The only way to deal with him is to stand up to him — and the only way to stand up to him is by joining together against him.

It's time for a massive general strike across the country.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Who in their right mind believes statements from the Department of Homeland Security?

Who believes anything Kristi Noem or Stephen Miller or Trump might say about what has just happened in Minneapolis?

They no longer have any credibility. That should be clear by now.

They lie like they breathe.

Alex Pretti, Renee Good, and Keith Porter Jr. were murdered. Marimar Martinez was shot. Mahmoud Khalil was arrested and jailed.
