So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out

The leaked memos confirm what we all knew: Big Oil effectively has the conservative Justices on retainer. This casts a disturbing pall over future cases affecting oil industry interests, including, most notably, Suncor.

Superpower Suicide The geopolitics of our moment

“Superpower Suicide” is a concept to help understand the approach of the Trump regime to the rest of the world. We are fighting a war for no reason we can name, losing it, and covering our defeat with genocidal and apocalyptic propaganda.

Meta just paid the lowest effective federal tax rate in its history.

Thanks to tax breaks and loopholes, it avoided $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes.

But now it's planning to lay off 10% of its global workforce (8,000 people) by May 20 — with more job cuts later this year.

Trickle down hoax.

The SAVE Act Will End Voting Rights for Women in America The SAVE Act has passed the House—we cannot let it pass the Senate

BREAKING: The so called 'SAVE' Act has FAILED in the Senate and will not become law.

I wrote this piece on how in reality, this is the Voter Restriction Act to prevent women from voting. It is fascism and would have installed Trump as a permanent dictator. www.qasimrashid.com/p/the-save-a...

Think about this: The leader of the Senate Democrats just voted against 85% of his caucus all to keep sending bulldozers to Israel, so it can continue to demolish Palestinian and Lebanese people's homes.

🚨 Record high of 40 Senators have just voted to block $300M of bulldozers to Israel.

Blumenthal, Coons, Cortez Masto, Fetterman, Gillibrand, Rosen, Schumer voted w/ Republicans.

Along with demolishing Palestinian homes, Israel used a bulldozer to kill 23-year-old American Rachel Corrie.

It happened again. Asked another top Republican if he knew how many Americans have been killed by Israel.

He responded by pledging his support for Israel:

BREAKING: An all-time record number of US senators just voted to block bombs and bulldozers to Israel.

Republicans and a handful of Democrats stopped the resolutions from passing, allowing $450 million worth of weapons to keep flowing to Israel. from @premthakker.bsky.social

Today Maine Dem Rep Jared Golden cast the 214th vote to block a Democratic resolution to stop Trump's illegal war on Iran—the vote failed 213-214.

Golden isn’t running for reelection. He voted to bomb Iranians and Muslims for fun. Shame on Jeffries for once again failing to keep his caucus in line.

A tweet from Representative Thomas Massie that reads: I just viewed 2 Top Secret FISA docs. 1) FISA Court opinion that raises serious concerns about FBI implementation of FISA 702. 2) letter by Senator Wyden describing a secret government interpretation of FISA law. The Constitution requires I vote No on FISA 702 reauthorization.

I sent a classified letter to House and Senate colleagues about a secret interpretation of surveillance law that every American should be concerned about.

Representative Massie is right. The Constitution requires EVERY member to vote against a clean reauthorization.

Repair Is a Survival Skill Under Fascism Too much urgency to resolve conflict can close us off from what repair really requires, says Kelly Hayes.
