Today is the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.
I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.
Remind you of anyone?
Clarence Thomas ruled in favor of Citizens United.
Harlan Crow's political contributions then went up 862%.
Then we later find out Thomas let Crow take him on lavish trips, buy his mom's house, and help fund his wife's conservative nonprofit.
But go on about how "progressivism" is a problem...
Amazon will pay $20.5 million to settle allegations that two of its Oregon data centers helped contaminate groundwater.
This is exactly why communities across the country are organizing to stop data centers — and winning.
Never doubt your power to change the system.
It looks like some Democrats are preparing to help the GOP reauthorize a little-known law that lets the government sidestep the Constitution and spy on US citizens.
Zero Democrats should vote to allow the regime to gobble up mass surveillance data to punish Trump’s enemies and round up immigrants.
A worker died at an Amazon warehouse in Oregon last week.
For more than an hour, workers were instructed to continue working as the man lay dead.
One worker wanted to help, but a manager told them to “Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work," according to @thewesternedge.bsky.social.

No Kings👑!
Reminder, tomorrow’s No King’s protests should be your jumping off point or accelerator, not the end destination. We need to do way more than just showing up to a protest a few times a year. Use tomorrow to network and continue to organize.
Is it happening again?
The Director of Project Hail Mary liked my tweet 👀
Also, go see this movie! It’s amazing! IMAX a must!
Israel's critics should not conflate it with Jews. And synagogues should not say "We stand with Israel," which encourages that conflation. It makes congregants less safe + it's immoral. It's like an Orthodox church after 2022 saying "We stand with Russia" peterbeinart.substack.com/p/lessons-fr...

So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.
That's $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
Thousands of lives lost.
People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
