It's no longer left versus right or even Democrat versus Republican. It’s now democracy versus oligarchy. Freedom versus dictatorship. Right versus wrong. People are awakening to this new reality — and they're speaking up. The sleeping giant of America is roaring.

Breaking NYT: The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter. The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status. That is a war crime called "perfidy."

As Trump ramps up his cruel deportation machine, it's more important than ever to know your rights if ICE comes to your door. Spread the word.

In a jaw-dropping warning, French Army General Nicolas Richoux cautioned America by declaring, "Greenland is the red line. If the US invades, they stop being systemic adversaries — they become enemies. If the US attacks Greenland, we must fight the Americans." #cdnpoli

The minimum wage went up in 19 states this month — but the federal minimum wage has been stuck at a paltry $7.25 an hour since 2009. Guess how much the wage would be today if it kept up with worker productivity over the years?

If the Democrats agree to raise the debt ceiling again without obtaining significant concessions from Republicans, I wouldn't blame the center-left if they abandoned the Democratic Party altogether. Chuck Schumer better not sell out again.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

We cannot forget who was complicit on January 6th. Ted Cruz fanned the flames of insurrection. Ken Paxton provoked the rioters before the assault. John Cornyn refused to investigate the attack. They have forfeited their right to represent us in our nation’s Capitol.

As a Canadian, it's really hard to watch the inaction of Democrats & Independents at this point. It's clear by now Peaceful Protests & angry posts on social media aren't going to change things. Trump just keeps doubling down. The last peaceful option is a Nationwide General Strike. Get planning.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Our government’s priorities are entirely backward. And purposefully so.
Screenshot of a tweet by James Tate reading, “An educated populace is a threat to power.” The tweet includes a quoted graphic stating that ICE is offering a $45,000 signing bonus and $100,000 starting salary, compared to a teacher earning $55,000 in their eighth year with a master’s degree, arguing that education has been intentionally defunded.

Elon Musk said he’d spend less on elections after a falling out with Trump. He's now reportedly donating to Republicans again ahead of the 2026 midterms. Musk pulled the strings early on in Trump 2.0. It now appears that he wants even more influence within the GOP.
