Lindsey Graham died Friday & his sister has already been sworn in. Remember when Mike Johnson refused to seat Adelita Grijalva for 50 days after she was elected? That is what we are fighting for in the midterms, a return to democracy & fairness and to remove fascist Republicans.

Proud that New York is one of 12 states suing to stop Paramount's acquisition of Warner Bros.

This is not a merger that serves the public. It would hand one company nearly a third of the movies and cable channels Americans watch, raise prices for streaming and cable, endanger the livelihoods of thousands of New York artists and entertainment workers, and threaten to shutter theaters across our city.

New York's workers helped build this industry. They should not be sacrificed for the sake of further corporate consolidation.

They want you to believe your voice doesn't matter.

Yet in just the last few days:

-LAPD canceled its Flock contract.

-Meta cancelled Muse Image AI after privacy outrage.

-One of the largest planned U.S. data centers was killed (PW Digital Gateway) by local opposition.

The surveillance state isn't inevitable.

It advances when people are apathetic.
It retreats when people fight back.

Public pressure works. Keep pushing.

Made this mistake of skimming through some "audience reviews" on RT today, and I'm not surprised to see folks claiming that they're forcing "diversity" into the series, because these same viewers love to remain ignorant of actual history.

There's a reason why, in my review, I pointedly address the fact that the show's Black doctor, Dr. George Tann, was in fact a very REAL person who saved the Ingalls' lives and is the sole reason we even have this story to begin with. Otherwise, they would've been wiped out by malaria. Also, expanding on the experiences of the Osage Nation (a very real aspect of the Ingalls living on stolen land in a very contentious period of history for indigenous peoples) just makes sense. These are all real, authentic, and true aspects of the American frontier experience. Just because you love whitewashed shoot 'em up westerns does not make you knowledgeable about the era at all.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo called Houston home for 35 years. On Tuesday, an ICE agent shot and killed him. His family learned of his death from a video before anyone bothered to knock on their door.

New York City stands with the Salgado family in demanding a full, independent investigation and real accountability. To the Salgado family and any immigrant family in this city living in fear: we grieve with you and we will continue to stand beside you in the pursuit of justice.

Abolish ICE.

Fun fact. Howard Lutnick missed work on 9/11 because he was bringing his son to school..for the first time ever he decided to be a dad. And the date of that school starting has not been confirmed. He lost everyone in his company that day. He also made an automated system that allowed him to not hire back the majority of people killed bc it took their jobs. He also sued American Airlines and won to the tune of $30 some odd million. He took the money and again, didn't have to replace anyone. He also cut off health insurance and payments to the families within 2 weeks. This matters because it sets the stage as to who he is as a human and sets the stage for what he's doing now. Coming tomorrow......bc f*ck you you child predator

11 stars for the Confederate states instead of 13 stars for the original colonies is a detail most Americans won’t notice because of our public school system.

Buying rent stabilized property with the goal of lobbying the government to jack up working people’s rent is such scumbag behavior. Guy is already worth $100 billion but he wanted to put families out on the street to grab a few more crumbs. Sociopathic economic system

[Harry Sisson @harryjsisson]

Years of GOP election fraud hysteria, while almost all the actual election fraud is committed by Republicans.

Incredible.

They will NOT make a billionaire contribute to the basic needs of the community BUT they will make the whole community bear the electrical, water, and building costs of a data center owned by a billionaire.

BREAKING: Alligator Alcatraz has officially closed. A lot of outlets won’t report on this, but the Miccosukee Tribe played a key role in the fight.

BREAKING: Rep. Ted Lieu is publicly calling on the White House to answer growing questions surrounding reports that an unidentified 79-year-old man received exclusive access to a powerful experimental drug through the FDA’s compassionate use program.

“The White House needs to come clean,” Lieu said. “Did Donald Trump get this special drug?”

I love the economic model where we are told that paying supermarket cashiers a living wage will instantly collapse the global economy, but a CEO getting a $50 million exit bonus for ruining a company is just standard market health.

Explain to me how someone can get 30 years in prison for a protest they didnt even attend.

The maximum amount a person can donate to a candidate is $3500.

Miriam Adelson just donated another $25 million.

Citizens United didn’t give corporations “free speech.”

It let billionaires buy elections and legally bribe politicians.

End Citizens United.

A note to my friends who still back Trump:

I am not here to dunk on you. I am writing because you have a working brain, and this story insults it.

The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool got a $14 million paint job. Shortly thereafter the water turned green and the new “American flag blue” coating started peeling off the bottom in sheets. Trump says vandals did it. He claims, without evidence, that someone took a knife and cut a 300-foot slit, a number that grew to 350 feet while he was still talking.

Back on May 4, Trump bragged about that same coating and said, if you had a knife, you could not even cut it, so strong, like powerful rubber. He cannot have it both ways.

And the green water?

A George Mason scientist tested it and found ordinary, non-toxic algae, the kind that blooms in any shallow sunny pool. To fight it, crews dumped hydrogen peroxide into the water.

Hydrogen peroxide is also a paint stripper.

That, not sabotage or vandalism, is the obvious reason the paint came off. They wrecked their own paint job, then blamed phantom vandals for it.

The lone "vandal" they paraded is a 67-year-old Olympian who touched a flap of paint already peeling on its own.

Here is the thing. If they will look you in the eye and lie about something this small, something you can see with your own eyes, ask yourself what else they are lying to you about.

Again, you have a working brain. People like Karoline Leavitt are counting on you to stay loyal instead of exercising independent thought.

Prove them wrong.

All this in just 4 years.

Remember when they insisted it was impossible to build green infrastructure quickly enough
