Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.
It doesn't have to be this way.
We’re all experiencing Budapest jealousy.
From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.
Octavia E. Butler, 1998:
Over 8 billion reasons to ditch fossil fuels in one photo.
SAVE THE DATE MAY DAY 2026 A nationwide day of collective action Friday, May 1, 2026 WORKERS OVER BILLIONAIRES MAYDAYSTRONG.ORG
May Day will be a nationwide day of economic disruption, as we flex our collective power to demand an end to the oligarch-enabled Trump regime. The central action will be to engage in little-to-no economic activity on May 1 — that means no work, no school, and no shopping: maydaystrong.org

Trump truth social post: A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!
Sickeningly evil. Donald Trump must be impeached.
When will it be enough for my Republican colleagues to grow spines and remove him from office?
Donald Trump is unfit to serve as the leader of the free world. That's why I have cosponsored H. Res. 939 Articles of Impeachment to remove him from office.

Convicted Felon Donald Trump attending today’s birthright citizenship arguments at SCOTUS is such a transparent attempt to intimidate the justices.
But it just makes him look WEAK and PATHETIC.
Trump reeks of desperation.
The SAVE America Act is a disaster for democracy and I'm not going let it get passed into law.
Are we seriously going to ask rural seniors to buy a $165 passport and drive miles and miles to register to vote in person?
Senator Chris Murphy, "The Strait of Hormuz was open before the war began"

Born in the streets. Shouted by millions. Carried on posters and chants.

The corruption is so brazen it’s almost comical.

When Trump came to power, he ripped up the peace deal that Obama had made, and used the uncertainty he created as an excuse to bomb Iran, insisting he had ended the problem he had created once and for all, except now he's bombing them again to solve the problem he created and previously solved?
This one hits hard.
Wow.
Oh, I would be all in on an AOC presidential run! With all the country has lost with the current administration, this is not the time to go back to the way things were. It’s time to truly move forward with a new vision for our democracy.
Starbucks Workers United baristas are escalating their fight for a fair contract.
I urge you to keep boycotting Starbucks — and delete its app from your phone.
Workers are fed up with low pay, chaotic scheduling, understaffing, and illegal union busting.
Let's keep fighting corporate greed.
Moulton: This is state-sponsored terror. This is what you would expect to see in North Korea or Iran or the old Soviet Union. We’ve got to crack down on the government before they crack down on the American people.
Remember her name: Aliya Rahman
Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.
It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.
ICE MUST GO‼️
Three rules in FBI firearm training:
1. Always point your weapon downrange
2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot
3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot
Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like
The paid out of state agitators are literally the ICE agents.
I’m convinced that’s exactly what the administration wants—to provoke a violent response. They can’t understand why it isn’t working. We keep the world on our side by sticking with nonviolent resistance.
