I'm not done until every poor person can live sustainably on this planet in a life of comfort and safety and pleasure. What good is society or technology if it can't deliver that? What good are leaders if they don't aim for that? What good are we as citizens if we don't demand it?

We've almost made it to another weekend, brought to you by left-wing rage. (Credit: @classwar.memes on IG)
Meme from Stranger Things with Robin dressed in her Scoops Ahoy uniform holding a sign. On the sign is a tweet from Francesca Fiorentini, @franifio: "Let's not equate left and right wing rage. Right-wing rage gave us the KKK, left-wing rage gave us the weekend."

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.

It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

ECONOMY IN SHAMBLES U.S. job cuts hit 275,240 in March 2025, the highest since the pandemic peak in 2020, surpassing 2001 & 2008 recessions. Layoffs surge as federal cuts, led by DOGE, echo Covid-era losses. It's the third highest monthly total on record.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

In 2019, Pfizer reported ZERO taxable profits in the US—despite selling $20 BILLION worth of drugs to American patients. By reporting their profits offshore, they dodged billions in taxes and paid a 5.4% tax rate. Don't tell me our tax code isn't rigged for giant corporations.
