But don’t tax the rich. Just charge the middle class and those struggling as much as you think you can get.

I bet some smart lawyer convinced a judge this is the opposite of price fixing, even when done by monopolies…

A 35 year old letter to the editor, written by a very ballsy 15 year old, about the Rodney King verdict.

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

what a freaking year this week has been

ICE is not law enforcement.

ICE is a domestic terrorist organization led by a corrupt head of state that should be sitting in prison.

Pretty sure there’s a line from Putin to Venezuela through FDJT … and it’s about oil.

Those observing Christmas are celebrating a family of asylum seekers. If there is indeed a "War on Christmas," it's being waged by those trying to make our country less safe for the poor, for the marginalized, and for refugees.

dont let the season consume us

made a thing.
t'is the season to be stressed out & broke but maybe there's another way

Glad to see this.

Meanwhile Americans wonder if they can afford fried chicken.

Tone deaf

But we keep trying (to invest)!

Srsly - this is a great thing, being true to your vision and validating it with revenue is better than investment.

Love the product, love the team.

The gap between teacher pay and other college graduates’ pay is the highest it’s been in over four decades.

Is there a “teacher shortage,” or a shortage of jobs that treat educators with the pay, dignity, and support they deserve?

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

a peace sign saying defend community

made a thing. karina villa understands the assignment.

some of them may have been conceived after said singing...

where did you find this magic?

reminder: you are still free to feel good. just find a way.

We used to have movies like this:

The purge
The cleansing

Then the handmaids tale

Now we know those horror stories were conditioning us to feel nothing.

We need more outrage, anger and protest.

Modern American fascism will manifest as masked federal thugs taking people to concentration camps viewed through footage on your phone that gets closer and closer to where you live until you're the one being brutalized and taken away.

Reminder: In a UN vote on making food a human right, only 2 countries voted no…

1. The United States🇺🇸
2. Israel

Good time for journos to finally ask the White House if Trump includes China in this proclamation.

I’m no expert but what about Miami, phoenix, and those pesky Texan cities that were all over the news in his first term.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social at this point, even my favorite media people are not reporting the news.

Journalism is dead, please, for the love of Pete, take whoever you can find and resurrect journalism - investigate and report - just stop reading the same shockbites off the teleprompter.

stay kind knucle tats

in solidarity with everyone peacefully protesting today.

Mansour Sami Abdi, a father of four, described the chaos: "People fought over five pallets. They told us to take food—then they fired from every direction. I ran 200 metres before realising I’d been shot. This isn’t aid. It’s a lie. Are we supposed to go get food for our kids and die?" “I was shot at 3:10am. As we were trapped, I bled constantly until 5:00am. There were many other men with me. One of them tried to get me out. He was shot in the head and died on my chest. We had gone there for nothing but food — just to survive, like everyone else”. Mohammad Daghmeh, 24, a displaced person in Al-Qarara, Khan Younis.

Read this horrifying testimony from Israel's massacre of people just trying to get food:

This should be a screenplay or play script. I can see people singing “who is actually in charge?”
