removing date and time to make disinformation spread faster and make everything more confusing

This is why Trump, Musk, and every other collaborator are begging Ukraine to accept a deal with a buffer zone that just so happens to exist over these regions, valued at $10 trillion. The goal is the same, to screw Ukraine from its natural resources and plunder it among Kremlin friendly oligarchs.

[Ben & Jerry's @benandjerrys]

Congress is working to pass a bill that would have a devastating, chilling effect on free speech and give the Trump administration power to strip tax-exempt status from nonprofits without due process or even a clear explanation (1/3).

The cost of eggs is higher because Kroger, Costco, Albertsons, Target, and Walmart raised prices.

These five corporations have reported over $29 billion in profits.

Trump wants to give them a $1.7 billion yearly tax break.

Yes, really.

This was the best election prediction I’ve seen. Really captures the differences in GOP/Dems strategy.

[aaron from queens 🇵🇸 @aaronnarraph]

every single one of bernie’s proposals is an electoral slam dunk and biden and harris’ legacy will be that they refused to talk about almost all of them on the campaign trail at the behest of their wealthy out-of-touch donors

Bernie Sanders in 2003.

The Reagan Revolution ignited a culture of “greed is good," alongside the rise of Christian nationalism. Democrats, for their part, embraced this shift, allowing unions to weaken and newsrooms to erode, all in the name of boosting corporate profits. As a result, Trump and Manafort’s brand of corruption thrived in plain sight.

Throughout American history, progress for Black people has been met with violent white rage, and Trump’s birtherism was the inevitable response to the first Black president. Meanwhile, Russia's support for Trump wasn’t just about sowing chaos in U.S. politics; it was part of a broader geopolitical strategy to lift sanctions and advance their long-standing imperial ambitions, which have been unfolding since Russia invaded Georgia. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is merely the latest chapter of rising Russian imperialism.

All of this is compounded by the deep, structural misogyny and racism in America, a nation built on genocide that persists to this day with the prison industrial complex and the epidemic of violence against Native American women. These forces are not isolated—they are interconnected, fueling each other in a dangerous cycle. The gasoline on that fire is unchecked social media as well as Silicon Valley greed.

What's left of newsrooms are populated by white men who aren't sensitive to most of these issues since they're blinded by their own privilege.

[Dave Troy @davetroy]

The great genius of the Putin-Musk-Trump ticket was to disguise historical geopolitical capture as standard partisan conflict. The bulk of Republicans and indeed the overwhelming majority of the American public has no idea of the severity or consequences of what has happened.

[Jabari Brisport @JabariBrisport]

People can viscerally feel that our economic and political system is broken.

If Democrats keep refusing to label and fight the REAL enemy (the billionaire class), then Republicans will keep spreading the lie that immigrants and trans people are the enemy. And the lie will work.

[Jennifer Schulze @NewsJennifer]

.@propublica is doing some incredible work focusing on the dire consequences of a Trump win. This is the information voters are craving, not the latest poll results. Be sure to read & share. This stuff is important. It's also really good journalism.

[Eric @echollan]

@rodger *How much he hates “the blacks” as he says. He hates both groups, but this 🚮 is about racism, not immigration.

@RBReich I think “Corruption” is pretty fitting

Peter Theil and Elon Musk were raised in Apartheid South Africa. Conditioned in an authoritarian society and now using their wealth to create it here. They have found the perfect opportunity with this MAGA movement. Coporate greed and fascism is a dangerous alliance. With Putin, Ormand, LaPen, Trump, and others this is a global threat. They share the belief that they will shape the world by force and have the right to do so. This idea of superiority is the rationale for violence if they don’t get what they want.

[Bill McKibben @billmckibben]

We're trying to stand up to a fascist who's in cahoots with the world's richest man, and our only weapon is: knocking on doors and having conversations.

Of course it feels scary. Right now our job is to be brave and keep knocking.
