“Older people are much less likely to commit crime than the young. They are also much more expensive to lock up.” So much for long sentences, much less lifelong sentences, as crime-reduction measures! www.nytimes.com/2025/09/08/o...

"Twenty-three Democratic attorneys general now gather on near-daily Zoom calls at 8 AM Pacific, which means the East Coast officials are already on their third coffee. They divide responsibilities and share templates for lawsuits they’ve been drafting since last spring."

🧵 Two 19-year-old Mexican counselors, Silvana Garza Valdez and María Paula Zárate, are the reason nearly 20 young girls at Camp Mystic survived the deadly Texas floods. As water surged before dawn, they led the girls—some as young as 7—to safety through windows and into raging floodwaters.

And there you have it. ICE didn't target migrant workers in Kristi Noem's farms or Sarah Huckabee Sanders' meatpacking plants because they wanted to create a riot in LA as a pretext to declaring martial law. They don't care about undocumented migrants, they only care about controlling US citizens.

Elon Musk and his confederates think democracy is defunct and that it’s time for regime change.  Rep. Raskin exposes the Silicon Valley billionaires’ push to replace our Constitution with techno-state dictatorship.

Want to understand why Trump is doing something? It’s often useful to follow the vengeance. Exhibit A: The plan to purge the National Archives - a key agency in his criminal classified documents prosecution

Class warfare is when there’s a limit to what poor & disabled people can earn before losing their benefits, but no limit to what billionaires can hoard while avoiding taxes. We must reject the twisted idea that money incentivizes the rich but poverty incentivizes the poor.

When the oligarchs’ goal is to further enrich themselves, don’t doubt that everything is on the table to achieve that. The well-being of most Americans is not part of their equation. That’s why public service, govt service, should be for people who want to serve others, not just their own interests.

it’s all the purest distillation of the idea that society doesn’t actually exist. the only thing that exists is some amorphous “liberty” that entitles you to a life without obligations or responsibilities or anything that might impose a duty on you or a limit on your conduct
