I just canceled my @washingtonpost.com subscription. The same $120/year is paying for half the journalists, because Bezos laid off the other half. TBH I was on the fence until this pair of headlines, one about the three way-warmest years ever, the second celebrating inability to act on climate.

In California, the right-wing tech billionaires behind Trump are funding a gubernatorial candidate named Matt Mahan.

Leading the pack: Joe Lonsdale, the Palantir co-founder who recently said the USA should resume public hangings.

Why is he funding a Democrat?

Shit like this airspace closure and conflicting reports about what did or didn’t happen is exactly what authoritarians and fascists want.

A world where we have no idea what’s going on and don’t trust anything we’re told by anybody is their perfect and desired environment.

Trying to LOWER the minimum wage for countless workers — including those just getting a start in the workforce.

After voters in both states approved minimum wage increases. And while the nation struggles with an affordability crisis.

When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.

I’ve watched Gavin Newsom’s career for 20+ years. It’s a buffet of big lies & failed hopes

Like Trump, he breaks promises, serves billionaire interests & mistakes social media theatrics for leadership.

Is that what we need in 2028?

The Trump family built a crypto machine that converts presidential power into billions in cash for insiders.

It's an orgy of self-dealing and corruption at a scale so massive it will need to break the nation to evade accountability.
