Fierce defender of Democracy. Given the dangerous far-right extremism we need to work together to increase awareness and defeat the rise of fascism in America and around the World. Silence is complicity.
We are a long way from 2028 but, for now, I am really liking the sound of a Gavin Newsom / James Talarico ticket.

1/2 Very good news today that Trump is backing down from his massively harmful tariffs! I suspect, if anything, China benefited more from the trade deal than America, but at this point I don’t care as I am just glad Trump’s reckless tariff foolishness appears to be winding down...

Does our incompetent President really think reducing the Chinese tariffs from 145% to 80% is going to do anything? How about 78.76% nest. So stupid. finance.yahoo.com/news/80-tari...

President Trump laid down a clear marker for deescalation Friday, posting that "80% Tariff on China seems right" ahead of much-anticipated trade talks with China that are set to begin this weekend.

Newsom and now Whitmer extending the olive branch to far-right fascist is incredibly wrong and politically idiotic. I used to like both of them. Meanwhile Pritzker, Buttigieg, AOC and Bernie are rising stars.

Rep Eric Swalwell walked out in *shock*—and who could blame him?
Every single GOP member on the House Judiciary Committee just voted to let Trump “deport” American citizens.
This is illegal, authoritarian, and unforgivable 🤬
Time to call, write, & protest before the full House votes.

Walk and chew gum, Gavin.
It can be true that both tariffs are bad and denying due process is also bad

Trump is now on Twitter posting doctored photos of the tattoos of Kilmar Garcia.
The whole world knows we have a deranged lunatic in the White House—and no one seems to know what to do about it.
He is so obviously mentally unwell that there is no longer any serious debate about whether that is so.

Not sure who needs to hear this, but any govt official who violates someone's constitutional rights -- and is acting outside the scope of their lawful authority -- can be PERSONALLY liable in a civil suit.
ICE officers. Cabinet members. White House staffers. Even the president.

Someone explain to me how TSLA, which has declining revenues and massively declining profits trades with a trailing PE ratio of 117? Stocks with flat or declining earnings typically trade with PE's below 10. What am I missing?

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...
A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data
A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

If Stephen Miller can lie about Abrego Garcia and his case on national TV, he can do it in federal court under oath. Judge Xinis should demand his appearance, question him under oath, then jail him for Contempt when he commits Perjury.

A crew of six women, including pop star Katy Perry and Jeff Bezos's fiancé Lauren Sanchez, is set to blast off today on an 11-minute Blue Origin flight.
It marks the first all-female space mission in 60 years — hailed as a breakthrough for gender equality in space tourism.
