Trumpism is like climate change: it's already here, it has done irreparable damage, and even if we take action now we'll be dealing with it's impact for the rest of our lives.

Trump is all about loyalty, and Kean has been very loyal in helping him gut healthcare, raise gas prices, and profit from corruption. So now he's rewarding Kean with $3 million. A vote for Kean is a vote for more high prices and corruption. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/15/u...

His powerful super PAC is suddenly spending heavily on some races, after drawing fire from some Republicans that the group might not throw its weight behind the party’s candidates.

The argument against AI should always start with the THEFT of creative labor the technology was built on. The intent was CRIMINAL. CEOs should be facing charges, not class action lawsuits. The devastation these companies continue to inflict on creative communities demands accountability.

Let me tell you a story about how top-end menswear retail transformed over the last hundred years. 🧵
Fiorinamarietta on Threads writes: "The death of department stores as an EXPERIENCE needs to be studied. You used to be able to buy a dress, have lunch, get your hair done, smell every perfume in existence and leave carrying beautifully wrapped boxes. Shopping used to be an event."

i have been saying this for years, but one thing politicians and journalists don't understand (or pretend not to) is that people don't have to be concerned with "gaza" as some sort of niche political cause to have reacted in horror watching the events and the way the political-media class reacted

If politicians really want to “save childhood,” they can start by ensuring every child has three meals a day, a safe place to sleep, and safe access to education. Banning social media does nothing to help kids who don’t have basic resources.

Our society runs on four assumptions: 1. men are better than women 2. the rich are better than others 3. white people are better than others 4. Christians are better than others. When we fight those assumptions, we are fighting a large part of our society's structure. We must keep fighting.

Minnesotans deserve restitution from ICE's terror campaign. The ICE surge cost Minneapolis $200 million in just one month. That’s before overtime, charter flights, and detention contracts. Taxpayers shouldn’t be forced to subsidize their own trauma.

It would be helpful if national Democrats started promising that they are committed to prosecuting the Republicans in the federal government who are breaking so many laws. And then promising that again, and again. The president's immunity doesn't protect anyone else.
