I've said it before and I'll say it again: trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.

Tax cuts for giant corporations and the super rich.
Paid for by cuts to the social safety net for everyone else.

Victor Orbán’s removal sends a timely signal.
Corrupt kleptocratic Christian nationalism was on the ballot in Hungary today — just as it will be on the ballots that Americans will cast in November.
It was repudiated abroad — may it be repudiated here in November (and beyond).
The Middle East is full of religious extremists who blindly revere evil men.
Oops! I meant *The United States* not The Middle East.
My friend @rokhanna.bsky.social is absolutely right.
When the President of the United States threatens genocide against millions of innocent people, Democratic leadership should stand in clear moral opposition — not hide behind procedure.
The call is coming from inside the house.
Your tax season reminder that the real freeloaders in this country are the rich — not the poor or immigrants or any other group of people vilified as scapegoats. The richest 1% evade $160 billion in taxes every year. The United States literally has yacht and private jet tax deductions. Hello?
Should corporations be able to weaponize your personal data to rip you off?
Well, they may already be doing that thanks to a shady tactic called “surveillance pricing.”
Former FTC Chair Lina Khan explains what we can do about it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cbtUYshYM8
I mean there it is.
Add France to the list.
One by one, U.S. allies are shutting their airspace to American military operations.
In what world is it okay for the Defense Secretary to make multi-million dollar investments in defense companies:
a) Ever;
b) In the run-up to starting a war in the Middle East

In a functional democracy, he would offer his resignation tonight.
Let's focus on something we ALL agree on:

Not sure whether you should show up on Saturday? @timothysnyder.bsky.social (an expert on authoritarianism) explains why historic protests like No Kings Day really matter.
This No Kings Day on March 28 is more important than ever.

Trump is ignoring science, the law, and our everyday reality to gut climate change regulations – all so fossil fuel companies can profit.
I’m glad California and other states are challenging this dangerous move in court because the endangerment finding must be restored.
I am challenging the EPA’s unlawful attempt to rescind its landmark 2009 Endangerment Finding and repeal all motor vehicles greenhouse gas standards.
ICYMI: Trump repealed the EPA’s Endangerment Finding — the legal and scientific backbone of federal climate protections — to do Big Oil’s bidding, ignoring the law and the science.
@governor.ca.gov Gavin Newsom and @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov are suing to stop it.
Rolling back the endangerment finding will have devastating and irreversible consequences to the planet, write Anabel Scales and Chuck Collins of @climatecriminals.bsky.social.
It's just unreal how little thought or planning went into starting a new massive war in the Middle East.
The Sierra Club is suing the Environmental Protection Agency over its rollback of key climate protections, arguing the move is illegal, unscientific, and harmful to public health.
🛢️In 2024, Trump told Big Oil execs he'd protect their interests if they spent $1 BILLION to elect him. Now, he's upheld his end of the deal.
New @senatebudget.bsky.social report details how Trump gave Fossil Fuel companies a $3.5 BILLION *annual* tax cut to continue polluting our planet.
Did your power bills go up last month? It might be because Donald Trump is forcing old coal plants to stay online, and making YOU pay to keep them running. Listen to Sierra Club Senior Attorney Greg Wannier answer how this is possible ⬇️
👏👏 Jimmy Kimmel got it exactly correct! Wind is an endless clean resource capable of powering millions of American homes and businesses. Beyond keeping the lights on, offshore wind also helps to stabilize unaffordable energy bills and protect against fossil fuel price spikes.
There is a virtual No Kings march/rally on Saturday, for those of us unable to attend in person! www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...
Joe Kent? Never heard of him.
The Inspector General for NSF must launch an investigation into the Trump administration’s alleged attempt to sell-off parts of NCAR — immediately!

In contrast to the coverup of the EPSTEIN crimes here in America, there are ongoing investigations in the UK, France, Turkey, Poland, Latvia & Lithuania that is sure to expose his central, filthy role in the largest crimes against humanity case in world history. #AccountabilityIsComing
💯☄️👏
A crucial conversation with inside insight into how and why corporate newsrooms are failing to cover the most important story on Earth.
Even though this is from the US, I want to stress the importance of why corporate concentration of media is brutal for climate coverage. Public broadcasting, along with community media provides the best bet to educate the masses. We need to invest in those more then ever.
