Tax the rich - it’s not hard. It’s just being blocked by billionaires and politicians in their pocket.

How deep-red Utah helped launch a portable plug-in solar movement Since Utah passed a law letting residents plug solar systems into their home outlets, 30 more states have drafted similar bills.

The Republican lawmaker who made Utah the first state to legalize balcony solar — setting off a nationwide wave of similar legislation — was inspired by a New York Times article about balcony solar in Europe. This happened in America in 2025! grist.org/energy/utah-... via @leialarsen.bsky.social

The USA is a place with no universal healthcare, but 1,000 billionaires. At least 49 of those billionaires made all their money from Private Healthcare. Perhaps you can connect the dots.

Commentary: An oil company joins with the Trump administration to bully California over offshore drilling Sable Offshore was bound by a court order not to restart its oil pipelines. It got Trump's help to circumvent the order.

In case anyone thinks Trump forcing Californians to accept new offshore oil drilling will make gas prices go down, the answer is a definitive "no": www.latimes.com/business/sto... via @hiltzikm.bsky.social

John Roberts is the worst thing to happen to this country since Rupert Murdoch.

The NYT big expose on SCOTUS today pairs well with @ariberman.bsky.social and @pemalevy.bsky.social's cover story on how ~everything wrong with this country today can be laid at the feet of John Roberts: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

New Civil War just dropped...at the Supreme Court | Will Bunch Newsletter Plus, can Big AI buy off the Democratic Party?

Last weekend's big bombshell didn't fall on Iran, but at the U.S. Supreme Court. A stunning leak both exposed the corporate hypocrisy of John Roberts and revealed 9 justices in open warfare

They are sending us a 'bat signal.' Democracy is in danger

My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

RealTheoWold 10m Republicans take office and tell us that 'norms, procedures, and principles' prevent us from actually using our power to destroy the left. Democrats take office and the first thing they do is completely take away the voice that conservatives have in the federal government.

Republicans, “The Party of Norms, Procedures, and Principles”?

LOL LMAO

What every US citizen can simply do NOW call to action

if enough of us wrote/emailed/phoned/screamed outside their office to our congressional reps to IMPEACH or face voter outrage leading to being voted out, and kept it up, we could regain our #democracy

My daughter saw ICE on her college campus today (Missouri).

Worldwide flu outbreak killed 45,000 American Soldiers during World War I In September 1918 there were two killers in the world. World War I, which would claim 20 million lives by its end, and the flu pandemic known as the Spanish Flu, is estimated to have killed between at...

Right.

a picture of a virus with the words " what does nt kill you mutates and tries again " ALT: a picture of a virus with the words " what does nt kill you mutates and tries again "

Nothing sez military readiness quite like unleashing a virulent disease.

Dear Little Peepee Kegsbreath,
Please look up "Spanish Flu 1918 history" and pay attention to how many American soldiers died from it. Kthanksbye

I need you all to remember ICE is still destroying families and assaulting people daily.
Don't forget to keep protesting.

Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.

BREAKING: The YES vote will WIN Virginia’s redistricting referendum, allowing Democrats to redraw maps ahead of the midterms and potentially flip the state from 6–5 to 10–1 — a four-seat swing that could decide control of Congress.

The regime is purchasing and converting warehouses to serve as concentration camps for the people ICE and Border Patrol disappear off the street — but local communities are fighting back. Join us at @detentionwatchnetwork.org's national day of action on Saturday: www.mobilize.us/disappearedi...

This is what fascism looks like. Industrial-scale detention. Private prison profits. Families torn apart. On April 25th, we stand together against it. Join us! #StopICEWarehouses social.demcast.com/s/GDJ7wCGm

Maybe @moveon.org @indivisible.org @50501movement.bsky.social need to mobilize No Kings so we have massive protests outside these facilities.

“He vomited a green substance and fainted,” the man said. “His body was white. He was shaking and sweating and officials paid no attention to him.” According to the man, who asked not to be named to avoid retaliation, this was the third person to be hospitalized after facing similar symptoms.”🚨🏥🚑

“So far, 11 warehouses have been purchased in Arizona, Georgia, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Texas and Utah, with the federal government spending a combined $1.074 billion. But lawsuits are pending in three of the states.“

Are they also investigating Corey Lewandowski’s kickbacks?🤔

It’s also important not to fall into Stephen Miller’s trap of associating diseases with foreigners. He and Trump have been linking migrants to diseases and drugs ever since Trump rode down his golden escalator in 2015 to announce his candidacy. Diseases will spread among *any* population in camps.

It’s also insane that an administration that doesn’t believe in the germ theory of disease is also building a network of concentration camps across the country. Diseases don’t magically remain in the camps. Employees will be bringing the illnesses to the surrounding communities.

Zone the hell out of these concentration camps.🧵

On the left is the ICE concentration camp near El Paso. On the right is an industrial chicken farm in Maryland. Do you know what happens when bird flu breaks out in the latter complex? Warehousing human beings these conditions will accelerate to the spread of diseases in any population.

NEW: Rep.-elect Analilia Mejia (D-NJ) will be sworn in as U.S. House member within the hour.

There were 200 documented connections between Russia and the 2016 Transition Team alone.
Remember, he wanted a secret back channel to Putin and announced it.
That's why RUSSIA,RUSSIA,RUSSIA.

Leaving out that crucial fact allows the reader to miss the way this echoes prior authoritarian "investigate the investigator" moves as well as the fundamentally Orwellian character of this. (3/3)
