The Democratic Party’s mega-donor class is horrified by the rising tide of progressive populism. Too bad. It's time they recognize the real choice is between democracy and tyranny, between an economy that works for all or one that works for a small sliver at the top.

Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers. These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR. We need a data center moratorium — now.

The Right would have you believing Latino people hate this country, and yet northeast Los Angeles was lit the hell up with fireworks for about 8 hours straight last night. Their patriotism was almost as annoying as it was beautiful.

Mamdani: "Therein lies the work of America -- a striving, a bettering, the reaching toward perfection. What a privilege each of us has to live in a nation that every one of its inhabitants can shape. What a responsibility each of us possesses to prove ourselves worthy of all those who came before."

I mute every account in this silly platform that shows a photo of Kamala Harris saying “She was right.” Because I agree: she ran an opportunistic, corporate-led, elitist, center-right campaign. Why would any of us celebrate that?

This doesn’t mean 2,000 deportations a day. This means every day 2,000 humans are captured, put onto buses, trains, planes, and shuttled into camps, prison, jails. Thousands upon thousands of human beings are currently being concentrated in the United States of America.

So there’s less power because of the data centers, therefore everyone else has to conserve power and the data centers don’t? Yeah that makes sense.

Today, I introduced legislation to require that the minimum wage be a living wage. $25 an hour is what’s required for a full time worker to pay their bills, and we shouldn’t accept that full time work leaves people living in poverty.

Dems have to run on this hard. Do not let the RFK types try to spin what his own party just signed off on here. Actual Monsanto, the comic book villain of Adbusters days, was shielded from liability over poisoning Americans. I don't care if it's slopulism: this Supreme Court wants you dead.

I can’t imagine writing this, in earnest, and not immediately deleting it with the thought “damn I can’t believe I almost put this out to the public.“ Political parties are tools.If you don’t like who is winning and using your party as a tool, you can leave it. But you sure as hell do not own it.

BlueSky is a fairly benign app but the Boomerish flood of AI slop and repetitious libbed out bots with their political memes that belong somewhere circa 2007 make it almost unusable.

I’ve seen multiple democratic lawmakers use the term ”Congress needs to return to rein in this president.” Rein in. To rein in. As if congress has had any control for the past year and a half. How utterly weak are the democrats that they cant say what needs to be done: Trump should be imprisoned.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

It’s amazing how we’ve forgotten that the emergency powers Donald Trump invoked to tariff the hell out of the planet were gained because we were “being invaded” by Venezuela. Well we literally kidnapped their president. Shouldn’t the tariffs all stop now? Or we’re just done completely with logic?

A 41-year-old former Afghan Special Forces soldier, Mohammad Nazeer Paktyawal, has died in ICE custody less than 24 hours after his arrest in Texas. Paktyawal, who fought alongside U.S. troops for a decade, was detained Friday morning in Richardson while dropping his children off at school.

After complaining of chest pain during processing in Dallas, he was transported to Parkland Hospital, where he died Saturday. He leaves behind a wife and six children, including an 18-month-old U.S. citizen. Though he arrived legally in 2021, ICE cited expired parole and recent non-violent charges as grounds for detention. Advocacy groups are now demanding a transparent investigation.#AfghanEvac

There are a lot more questions than answers at this time and there will be more information soon, but we first want to express our sincere condolences to his family.

This is what it looks like when reality is spoken to a demagogue. Kennedy can’t hear it. He doesn’t care that forcibly moving 100 million human beings anywhere would be the trafficking and cleansing operation to happen in humanity’s existence. He’s a homunculus hiding in the skin of a politician.

This is literally what they do whenever a Black person is killed by police. No matter how solid the evidence is, they will keep pushing that lie, not just to poison the conversation and make sure the killer walks free, but to reassert the political idea that these people deserve to be killed.
