Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.
One of the few mastodon posts worth keeping around
I sat down with 20 undecided Texas voters on @jubileemedia.bsky.social’s Surrounded.
One of them brought up “welfare queens” so I told him the truth:
The biggest welfare queens in this country are the giant corporations that don’t pay a penny in federal taxes.
So it turns out an ice agent is much more likely to have an arrest record than an immigrant.

The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you’re overreacting.
"It is often cited as the single most effective public health campaign ever, saving an estimated 26 million lives over 22 years..."

Proud to say the knowledge of the existence of this file came from our reporting 👊
Wow. What a sign that criminal case against Abrego Garcia may be politically cooked up.
"Schrader’s resignation was prompted by concerns that the case was being pursued for political reasons"
Schrader spent 15 years in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Nashville and was chief of the criminal division
The new pope
The evangelical MAGA freak out when the new Pope follows the teachings of Jesus instead of following the rambling hate and grifts of Trump.
This day keeps getting better.
"Pope Francis skipped the Vatican’s official meeting with Vice President JD Vance Saturday, instead having his No. 2 give the vice president a lecture on compassion, according to a Vatican statement."
Excellent! Well Done, Pope!
Only one of these men has a criminal conviction—and his name isn’t Kilmar Garcia!

When I was a little girl, we used to play in the cemetery by my house. I used to love looking at the little angel and lambs on the markers in the oldest area.
I remember showing them to my mother and she gently explained they were children who died before we had vaccines.
Just in case you missed this from Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker:
"Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face."
So, the guy who was gonna end all wars has bombed Yemen, threatened to bomb Iran, and threatened to invade Greenland.
Did I get that right?
This thread is WILD. It appears as though the tattoos pictured in Trump’s Tren de Aragua checklist for deportation were all lifted from UK tattoo artists’ Instagram pages. Not a single one is from an actual gang member.
Everything Pete Hegseth touches turns into a security vulnerability. He is not fit for this job, nor any job where American safety and intelligence is at stake. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
We’re at the part where Germans could have done something to stop it.
