Today is the publication day for Adam’s book. I’m biased but I think this book is incredibly important, if we ever want to understand the propaganda apparatus that enabled a genocide.

Kathryn is a thoughtful and talented editor, I encourage folks to reach out to her.

Feel like it should be a bigger story that Howard Lutnick's firm (run by his kids) created a financial product to buy up tariff refund claims at a major discount, and will now be cashing in on the higher costs passed onto consumers.

They really are some of the worst people on the planet.

Israel’s fascist masses always outdo themselves.

Scores of Forest Service plans could be upended after Boundary Waters mining vote • Minnesota Reformer Congress’ move to allow mining in a national forest near a wilderness area may have broad ramifications across the country. The U.S. Senate voted Thursday to overturn a mining ban in Minnesota’s Super...

When opening the Boundary Waters area to mining, lawmakers used the obscure Congressional Review Act. This essentially redefines Congress' relationship to land management plans across the whole Forest Service, potentially affecting more than 100 other plans. minnesotareformer.com/2026/04/19/r...

Steven Thrasher's Impassioned Call to Oust the 'Overseer Class' In 'The Overseer Class: A Manifesto,' Steven W. Thrasher's call to overthrow the 'overseer class' starts with looking beyond reform.

"The Overseer Class is a deeply rooted yet approachable analysis of how race in America is often a telemetric shorthand for class and interest, but remains only a shorthand." Grateful for this thoughtful review of THE OVERSEER CLASS in @inkstickmedia.com inkstickmedia.com/steven-thras...

Power without accountability: The Palantir manifesto The problems with our tech philosopher kings

New, from me: Take the Palantir manifesto seriously, if not literally.
It reveals that our tech philosopher kings want public money, but without public accountability. This creates a dilemma for governments unaligned with its techno-fascist vision. 🧵

WATCH: Researchers at Stanford University modeled how many people could die or be disabled in 25 years if vaccines for polio, measles, rubella or diphtheria were no longer available.

Amazon, which saved $4B in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, has cut 30,000 jobs since last October.

Verizon, which saved $2B, plans to cut 15,000 jobs this year.

Meta, which saved $3B, plans to lay off 20% or more of its workforce.

Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.

Why are Koch-funded activists trying to derail a US city's public transit? Phoenix will vote Tuesday on a light rail system expansion. It faces opposition from business owners backed by activists affiliated with the Koch network

“Koch brother groups have tried to derail public transit plans in other cities around the country, from Little Rock, Arkansas and central Utah, to Nashville and Michigan. They have frequently called such projects ‘wasteful spending’. The Koch organization is also heavily invested in fossil fuels.”

Art, music, creativity & community are all powerful forms of dissent. Each one of them was in strong supply today at the Resistance Street Fair hosted by BK Resisters.

Thank you to the artists who lent their talents and all of the Brooklyn neighbors fighting tyranny with joy & determination.

צה"ל ממשיך להרוס מבנים בכפרים בדרום לבנון בזמן הפסקת האש מפקדים בצבא אמרו ל"הארץ" כי בשבועות האחרונים הובאו לאזור עשרות כלים הנדסיים המופעלים בידי קבלנים אזרחים, שחלקם מתוגמלים לפי מספר המבנים שנהרסו. מקור המעורה בפרטים אמר כי חלק מהקבלנים פעלו גם בעזה

Even during the "ceasefire", the Israelis are still demolishing entire villages in southern Lebanon with armored bulldozers. In fact, civilian contractors hired by the army receive pay which is based on the number of buildings destroyed.

Schumer voted against blocking the sale of these bulldozers.

I would like to take some time to address the crayon-scribbled 'Manifesto' that Palantir dropped today;

A document which reads like it dropped directly from the id of the Billionaire class and their Conservative & Neoliberal flunkies.

Here is a full rebuttal, point for point. (🧵1/22)

New Request

Trump has no plan to cut the $39 trillion national debt, but he does want to cut childcare. His budget director is scrambling to clarify | Fortune OMB Director Russell Vought appeared before Congress to answer questions about the request for the largest military spending boost since World War II.

There is billions in confirmed fraud within the Department of Defense, yet Trump and Vought are going after health care, childcare, and nutrition assistance.

As Congress puts together the 2027 budget, we must fight back.

We've now raised £50,000.

Anything you can spare, will go towards challenging this Labour Government and taking the fight to Reform.

And most importantly - to creating the hopeful alternative.

You should be able to easily file your taxes for free with the IRS.

Not only did Trump kill Direct File, the IRS's free tax filing program, but this week, Republicans BLOCKED my bill that would make the program law of the land.

That's what you call selling out to TurboTax.

The Democrats are such a shitty collection of grifters. No fight in them. Quietly racist. Anti-immigrant. Advocates of bombing children and advocates of deporting children. Captured by billionaire assholes.
