I’m tempted to enjoy the Trump humiliations. But I think it also important to note that as they mount, Trump is becoming even more erratic and dangerous. Beware. robertreich.substack.com/p/the-moun…

We were the only UNIONIZED employees he’d ever had, too. I am broke as hell now, but I’ll never regret saying this: EAT SHIT, YOU PATHETIC TWERP. No matter how much cash you accrue, you’ll never know the joy of solidarity. Your life is empty, and you’ll be remembered as a warning to children.

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.   Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us.

While the world’s eyes are on fashion’s biggest night, we’re turning ours to the garment, retail, and warehouse workers who keep the industry running. From true love found on the picket line to a free tailoring school out of a Brooklyn basement — meet the New Yorkers who make it all possible.

Illinois wrote the playbook on anti-BDS laws in the US. It’s time we fix it. In 2015, Illinois became the first state to pass a law like this. Other states followed, turning free speech into something that can be punished. But you can be part of history to repeal this law:

Nota bene: the word element patr- is latin for daddy. Anyone or thing that you designate patr- without it being your actual dad is really daddy, which is fine as a kink but doesn't belong in the 21st century as a communal governing ethic. Smash the patriarchy.

Meta just paid the lowest effective federal tax rate in its history. Thanks to tax breaks and loopholes, it avoided $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes. But now it's planning to lay off 10% of its global workforce (8,000 people) by May 20 — with more job cuts later this year. Trickle down hoax.

We have gotten to a temporary ceasefire, but Trump's calls for genocide and war crimes show he is completely unhinged. The cabinet must invoke the 25th amendment to remove him - and then we need to remove the entire pro-war apparatus in Washington that got us to this point in the first place.

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.

Wealth inequality is eating this country alive. Concentrated wealth is already endangering our democracy. Wealth doesn’t just beget more wealth — it begets more power. It’s a vicious cycle that destroys our economy and democracy at the same time.

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds. I support neither imperialism or dictatorship. Sahar Delijani said it best:
I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves.
Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone.
That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins.
If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after.

The Washington Post’s tagline is “Democracy dies in darkness.” Pretty ironic when Jeff Bezos is laying off reporters. Firing journalists like Caroline O’Donovan after she covered Amazon’s layoffs isn’t exactly subtle. If democracy dies in darkness, Bezos sure isn’t the light.

Excerpt from NBC article quoting Facebook: "Alex was there the final night providing morphine and pain relief," Mac Randolph said.
"Just the sweetest person you can imagine."
He described Pretti as providing guidance and aide beyond his medical faculties.
"They had to turn the oxygen off at a certain point," he said. "Alex was there to walk our family through the process."
Mac Randolph said his sense was that Pretti's work at the location was motivated by dedication more than income.
"It's a sacrifice he makes," Mac Randolph said.
"He wanted to be there for those veterans."
He's concerned Pretti's character may be sullied by lies.
"He was an incredibly compassionate person,"
Mac Randolph said. "I don't want them to assassinate this guy's character."
