WHOA. In less than 12 hours, tens of thousands of Americans have helped launch GTFOice.org.
People don’t want warehouse prison camps in their communities.
Amazing to see the outpouring of defiance.
The Brits appear ready to shame the US news media into covering this, distracted as they are by gazing at their own navels ...
AOC: In some ways, you kind of want this guy on a golf course more than you want him in the Oval Office. But that also calls into question the 25th Amendment, because if the determination is that Trump cannot be trusted in the Situation Room, then he's not fit to be president.
Some progressives & Democrats need to stop justifying refusing to vote or 3rd party voting by saying Biden "didn't do anything."
He did a whole damn lot. Facts matter. And so does a young liberal SCOTUS justice who will protect civil rights for decades.

This is how Amazon Founder Jeff Bezos avoids paying a personal income tax
- For the last 20 years he's had the same salary, $82,000
Have been wondering when candidates would start talking about this. One of the biggest corruption scandals is U.S. history playing out in real time.
"there is only one majority in this country and that is the working class."
What a concept
Again: the gun you keep in the home for “protection” increases your risk of homicide by 3-fold, of suicide by 5-fold, and for men, risk of suicide more than 10-fold
The second you bring a gun into the home you’ve dramatically increased the risk of death for your family 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.
Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars
The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.
Why aren't we doing this?
Magyar Péter: After a year and a half, I am back in the "public" television studio. We have just witnessed the last days of a propaganda machine. After the formation of the TISZA government, we will suspend the news services of the “public” media until its public service character is restored.
Today, more than 80% of the Democratic caucus stood with the American people and voted to block U.S. military aid to Netanyahu and his horrific, illegal wars.
Yes…all true. Doing something about planned obsolescence would be good, however, that change would be policy…like require companies to take back and recycle end of life, etc. ….political change. My comment is about the false story of taxes as “pay fors” by federal governments that create currency.
3)interested? Read work by Prof. Stephanie Kelton, Prof. L. Randall Wray, Australian Prof. Bill Mitchell, just to name a few.
2)it should be obvious that a government that creates the $$ does not have to “collect” it in order to spend. There are important reasons for taxing (federally) but “to pay for” is not one.
1)I’m always troubled by those who continue to espouse the false economics that has become mainstream. Read more deeply the heterodox economists that have spent the time deeply understanding economies such as ours (sovereign, sole creator of currency, etc). There are many problems with our system..
Today we filed legislation to invoke the 25th Amendment. Here’s what it does ⬇️
Sanders: The ruling class said, “Look at China, it’s a market of a billion people. Do you know how many jobs we’re going to create selling our products to China?”
And what happened is thousands of factories in America were shut down.
And now we’re hearing again, “Hey, trust us.”

AOC: What law would you want to make?
A U.S. citizen is speaking out after being detained in a Minnesota facility, exposing what he describes as "horrific" conditions.
This week, I will be forcing a vote on legislation to block the sale of nearly half a billion dollars worth of bombs and bulldozers to the Israeli military.
The extremist Netanyahu government that has committed genocide in Gaza does not need more military support from American taxpayers.
One step further: it should be unthinkable that we would register people for the draft without first making sure that they are registered to vote. And indeed: it makes no sense generally to hold elections without making every effort to make it as easy as possible to vote! That’s what democracies do.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has issued a decree to establish a Universal Health Service, saying the objective is for any citizen to be able to attend any health institution and be guaranteed full and free coverage throughout the national system.

We don't post much - but every day we work to keep #Amazon out of #Vermont.
Yesterday, we received word of Act 250 Commission decision that effectively blocks Amazon in VT, for now. The Commission ruled that the entire subdivision & overly long road did not conform to Town regs. Appeal possible.
Watch this and share widely please.
Every single Democrat in the House and Senate needs to be saying this today. Every single one.
Call them.
In an age of creeping relativism, a universal moral law still exists.
Threatening to end an entire civilization of 90 million people in order to bend a nation’s conduct to your will is grossly morally wrong. It is evil. And we should say this loudly.
Mamdani is not just filling the potholes with the crew. He's creating a visual and personal reminder of the dignity inherent in all of these anonymous government jobs.
