The most important political task in America is clawing back wealth from the very rich. The most important ballot measure in America is the California billionaire tax. Oligarchy is at the front door. Time to stop fucking around. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/the-war-ag...

This news is important because all the fucks out there actively attempting to wreck the world want you to think that the work is hopeless and just mitigating the worst case scenario. It's not. Fucking keep going.

This serves as advertisement for Alex Gibney’s documentary, Musk, opening October 9. Pass it on.

The Major Social Media Platforms Are All Rejecting Paid Ads for Alex Gibney’s ‘Musk’ (Exclusive)
YouTube, TikTok and Meta have all turned down the trailer for the Oct. 9 doc, citing “political” content. X won't even take Bleecker Street's calls. The distributor is appealing.

NEW: In ‘24, the FBI sought to launch a sweeping bribery probe that could ensnare top lawmakers, including Sen. Susan Collins. Then Trump eviscerated the FBI & DOJ public corruption teams. ProPublica unearthed the investigation and you can read it 👇 www.propublica.org/article/fbi-...

It’s the league trying to make Rams a west coast revenue driver. They’ve consistently gotten special treatment to give them every chance but no one cares about them. I, for one, love when “super teams” fall flat. Here’s hoping for an utterly mediocre season for them.

Fun fact: in our polling of battleground states, about 60% of voters said it is a “top” or “high” priority for Congress to investigate and hold Musk accountable. Lean into it Dems. He’s a cartoon villain - treat him like one.

The climate crisis isn’t “coming.” It’s here. Record heat. Deadly floods. Vanishing ice. Collapsing ecosystems. We don’t need more warnings. We need courage, systems change, and action at the scale of the emergency. #ClimateAction #ActNow

I am a scientist – and the answer is climate change. Yes, there is nuance. Yes, it could take a long time to identify the precise mechanisms. But there is no question why ice and snow-related disasters are on the rise. Our planet is warming at an unprecedented rate, and humans are responsible.

A legal loophole allows the government to sell mustangs on the cheap, stripping them of protections and clearing their path to destruction.

You might not be following this because it's not about cities per say, but the administration just repealed the 2001 roadless rule in National Forests. They want to open up for more logging and more building which messes with everyone's drinking water. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/18/c...

The move to repeal the ‘roadless rule’ would pave the way for road construction and logging in nearly 45 million acres of untouched back country.
