Billionaires are AFRAID of Philosophy. YouTube video by Michael Burns

since there is no news today, figured I would share my newest video again.

We are *NOT* agreeing with Marjorie Taylor Greene & Tucker Carlson. They are agreeing with *US.*

Maybe the difference is impeachment requires the GOP to admit Trump's a criminal while 25A just requires them to admit he's incompetent. I know people who still think that's a valid excuse for Reagan- he had dementia so none of the bad stuff was his fault

Today’s #HolocaustRemembranceDay. Listen to these Holocaust survivors. They’ve come together to send you a message that you won’t be able to forget.

I’d love to say never again, but it’s happening. Here, in the fucken USA.

Open your eyes. Stop this 💩 now.

This isn’t immigration policy. It’s a business model.

ICE keeps growing, not because it makes America safer, but because corporations are raking in billions off cages, bodies, and suffering. ICE’s existence is a massive revenue stream.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley clearly shows that Republicans will pardon their friends and could care less about fraud. This was a heated exchange resulting in disrespectful over talking because that’s what Republicans do!

Let’s not lose sight.
Release the rest of the Epstein files. NOW!

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.

You could be next.

Despite years of "economic anxiety" discourse, the core drivers of Trump support have always been bigotry and misinformation.

What we're seeing in real time is the deployment of a Secret Police tasked with terrorizing those who live in communities insufficiently subservient to the regime. It's a form of spectacle violence designed undermine the rule of law & any semblance of accountability.

VOT’s Raleigh chapter hosts a voter registration event

People often ask why Democrats don’t have something like TurningPoint USA — so before the year ends, let me introduce you to Voters of Tomorrow.

We’re on campuses across the country, organizing over 10,000 Gen Z members to engage our generation.

Coincidentally, this theme came through very strongly in the conversation I just recorded with @drdebhoury.bsky.social @angierasmussen.bsky.social @michaelemann.bsky.social and @naomioreskes.bsky.social on what's going wrong with trust in science.

Sorry it over ran the promised 30 mins!

Here are the companies destroying the east wing of the White House

Remember April 2009 when about 250,000 people took to America’s streets in Tea Party rallies and the media was like “oh man, the Dems are in trouble?” Approximately 28X as many people took to the streets to protest Trump yesterday. Didn’t even make the NYT front page.

He Was Convicted Entirely On Clashing Eyewitness Testimony. Alabama Plans to Execute Him Next Week. - Bolts No physical evidence connected Anthony Boyd to a 1993 murder. He was sent to death row on the word of a co-defendant who testified under the threat of capital punishment.

Are you aware we execute innocent people in the US quite regularly?

Here's a story about Anthony Boyd, an innocent black man the state of Alabama intends to murder by gas mask next week.

Oct. 19, 1960 | Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Among 52 Arrested in Atlanta Sit-In Protest Learn more about our history of racial injustice.

On this day in 1960, 52 people, including Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., were arrested in downtown Atlanta, Georgia, after refusing to leave their seats at segregated department store lunch counters.

What is Due Process? Robert Reich

It’s more important than ever to understand your right to due process. Here’s what you should know. https://youtu.be/metN4EiDtmQ?si=5uq9Yf27M473g3hB

Now that Kirk's killer seems to be caught, maybe the news could spare a moment's attention for the right wing, from the commentariat up to the GOP and president, whose immediate reaction was not mourning, but to seize the opportunity to try to incite violence against groups they hate

So I wrote a book about how young men get radicalized online and what you can do about it:

Nigel Farage just repeatedly denied – under oath! – to @raskin.house.gov
ever banning journalists he doesn’t like from his party’s conventions.

This happened to me *literally today*.

THE REPUBLICANS ARE STEALING YOUR MONEY!

Except Democrats think American democracy is in danger because the president is an authoritarian with too much power, and Republicans think it's in danger from the Cracker Barrel logo changing.

The thing about the Cracker Barrel uproar is that it’s a perfect illustration of how these people are in charge of everything, they’re running the entire country and diminishing Dem power at every turn and they are STILL UNHAPPY. Their entire brand is “angry and oppressed” and it always will be.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "This guy is trying to get a Nobel Peace Prize? When he's bringing war to the American people? He sent the United States Marines into the United States of America."

These are very bad times.

But there are a lot of good people here.

We must continue to take care of one another and fight for one another.

That's always been the work, that's always the work.

On Juneteenth, we celebrate Black freedom, resilience, culture, and the enduring strength of community across generations. We acknowledge our nation’s full history and the long, ongoing fight for freedom and justice for Black Americans.

1/4 At ICE’s Krome Detention Camp in Florida, Cuban immigrants formed a human "SOS" on the patio—desperate to alert the world. The facility is nearly 200% over capacity. Built for 600, it now holds 1,700. People sleep on floors, eat only a cup of rice a day, and go without medical care.
