Elon Musk is about to become the first trillionaire.
The reason poverty exists in the wealthiest country on earth isn't because we can't feed the poor — it's because we can't satisfy the rich.
We should tax trillionaires out of existence.

This administration is an utter disgrace. So many of us came to this country precisely because in the United States of America, anyone can "hide behind the First Amendment," aka, enjoy the right to free speech.

Donald Trump is the most powerful person in the world. Only a monster would use that power to force 42 million Americans to go hungry.
Trump announces he will refuse to follow the court order to provide SNAP benefits to needy families.

Seems like we should be talking more about this.
I don’t often agree with Elon Musk, but I fear that he may be right when he says, “AI and robots will replace all jobs.”
So what happens to workers who have no jobs and no income?
AI & robotics must benefit all of humanity, not just billionaires.

Where does one sign up for those paychecks?
I am planning on going to No Kings gathering this weekend in central Texas. And since I was terminated by MSNBC a few weeks ago, can someone let me know where to pick up paycheck that GOP keeps talking about. I have asked many folks going to No Kings, and none are getting paid.

Jack Bryan on Threads talks about how Frank Sinatra saved Don Rickles's life. Rickles said, "Some goons were beating me up. Frank comes over and says, 'Okay, guys, that's enough.'"
Bryan says--with some truth--that he remembered that anecdote when Trump hogged the credit for ending the war in Gaza.

This is out of hand. These agents are there to cause trouble and violence, not to keep people safe. These are the scenes that play out in war torn, destitute countries - not America.

I call on Governor Abbott to immediately withdraw any support for this decision and refuse to coordinate. There is no reason a President should send military troops into a sovereign state without their knowledge, consent, or cooperation.

We are witnessing a clumsy, dumb authoritarian regime try to consolidate power. They only have a chance because the corporate and media elites are ok with it, which has abetted mass ignorance of what’s happening. The pathetic weakness of the opposition party leadership helps, too.
