How we beat back the corporate takeover of America:
1. Break up corporate monopolies
2. Continue building union power
3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics
Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

This smells like outright collusion with Russia to me. Trump shrugs it off as what a dealmaker does: sell the plan to Ukraine, sell the plan to Russia. He says “we must end this war” and thinks he deserves the Nobel Prize??? Not if it's at the cost of Ukraine’s sovereignty.

The X platform now has a new tool that promotes scrutiny about the origin of X accounts.
I've noticed lately that more trolls are invading Bsky. This same feature that X has so members can check an account's country of origin would be super helpful to weed out the bad guys from causing harm here.

Don't fall for it. Trump has been waiting for an excuse for a military dictatorship.
It took only a few hours for President Donald Trump to turn what he called “an act of evil, and an act of terror” into a full-blown argument for an even more intense crackdown on immigration.

This Thanksgiving, I'm thinking of our neighbors with an empty seat at the dinner table.
Those with loved ones abducted & deported from their families.
Those we lost due to gun violence, mass incarceration, & more.
A more just America is possible, if we fight for it.

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

Well of course. It's all about Trump wanting to say he stopped a war. He doesn't give a damn about selling out Ukraine & he's completely cowed by Putin.
