we should tax the rich – because rich people’s money gives them too much command over labor. that’s why so many of us work bullsh*t jobs that contribute to inequality and climate change.
only by taxing the rich can we free up resources for the things we actually want.
Saw it last night in Sebastopol and she and the director took questions after. Heroic
Ban his name and MAGA like the Germans do swastikas.
I’m a take this opportunity to shout out www.blackmen.build because they’re doing it and they have chapters across the country.
Waking up to discover that evidence has been released proving something we all knew. The Supreme Court's efforts to stop the Obama clean power plant rules were rooted in explicit, corrupt efforts to protect the fossil fuel industry.
Ask him if billionaires should exist. Shouldn't they be taxed out of existence? 99% estate tax for them?
Nobody's "Obsessed" With Israel — It's Just A Uniquely Horrible Country
Israel is our business, and it always has been. We are right to spotlight its criminality, and the complicity of our own western governments in those crimes.

Important comprehensive analysis from @kaitjustice.com tying Epstein, Thiel, Barr, and numerous others together in the 50+ year program for techno-feudal broligarchy that is near completion.

Incomplete unless you include all the oligarchs too.
That is also one of the best and most important aspects of attending a protest. Seeing and feeling the bodies around you. Feeling part of something larger than yourself. “The importance of the numbers involved is to be found in the direct experience of those taking part in or sympathetically witnessing the demonstration,” as John Berger wrote. “For them the numbers cease to be numbers and become the evidence of their senses, the conclusions of their imagination.” No one on my feeds the past 48 hours will shut the fuck up about the right way to protest. The group behind the protests this weekend around the country that millions of people came out for may or may not be the same old Democrat bullshit. I do not know and I don’t really give a shit right now. I will tell you what is true and that is that tens of thousands of us marched and chanted and listened for hours as speakers from all manner of political groups I am excited about and ones I am skeptical of came together for one thing we can agree upon which is that this country – this evil fucking country that we all despise and yet must continue to live in for better or worse – is being dismantled and sold off for parts for the benefit of Donald Trump and Elon Musk and their rich friends. If you object to this ravaging then you and I have a place to begin negotiating from. M. and I stood in the cold 40 degree rain and cheered and booed. Everyone fucking hates Elon
On protests:
People hate Elon Musk's fucking guts. That is raw material to work with. A person like him should not exist. No billionaire should. It is not that many steps from one idea to the other. You can guide a person there no matter their politics. orbooks.com/catalog/we-h...

Love this.
Also, fastest way to end issues at airports would be to ground private jets, due to capacity constraints, until TSA problem(s) resolved. Over in 24 hours.
I'm excited to announce this new dossier on reparations, published in the BMJ Global Health. Five case studies covering damages related to slavery, conflict-related sexual violence, climate change, racial injustice and structural adjustment. gh.bmj.com/content/11/S...

Omg. This is such a great idea!
In case you’re wondering how we got into this multi-dimensional hell, @timothynoah.bsky.social provides an excellent oeuvre:
More and more I want the consequences for the billionaires, politicians, appointees, and lackeys who are committing crimes for Trump to be devastatingly financial.
Take all their money. ALL OF IT. And garnish their wages forever. Let them live off of whatever UBI gets passed in the next admin.
I asked President Trump about the FBI reportedly seizing election records in Arizona. He said they must have done that because it was a “rigged” election. I pointed out to him that his own AG said there was not measurable voter fraud to overturn that election. Then he called me a rotten reporter.
I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

The People's Forum collecting donations: "To donate by check:
Make check payable to: The People's Forum
On memo line write: “Urgent Aid” (Do not write Cuba!)

For this year’s International Women’s Day, let me put it as simply as possible: Men should be glad we want equality — not revenge.
Turns out lawlessness is not a winning strategy. See you at Nuremberg 2.0
F*ck this "warfighters" and "department of war" BS. No respect for anyone who adopts that crap
This is amazing.

Being active on X is unethical: • Enables abuse of women and children • Supports Musk and his weaponized X algorithm • Helps increase X valuation for future VC investment • Helps spread disinformation and hate • Amplifies network effects that cause people to stay and join • Endorses X as the credible platform that it isn't
Good people:
- Don't post links to X
- Aren't active on X
- Understand why X is bad
