Believe in truth. To abandon facts is to abandon freedom. If nothing is true, then no one can criticize power, because there is no basis upon which to do so. If nothing is true, then all is spectacle. The biggest wallet pays for the most blinding lights.

I will never get over how a handful of tech bros set billions of dollars on fire to build a plagiarism machine that doesn't work and will destroy human society when they could have used a fraction of that money to fund a new golden age of creativity and knowledge.

SCOTUS recent decision to halt the use of nation wide injunctions against Trump's attack on birthright citizenship, suggests the judiciary branch lacks the power to stop Trump from violating and law lays the groundwork for a de facto Presidential dictatorship.

🧵 A tiny baby. Not breathing. The desperate mom pulls into a shuttered ER. Nurses—off duty, protesting the closure—rush to save her child.

THIS is the future the GOP is pushing: Medicaid gutted so millionaires have tax cuts. Closed hospitals.
Dead children.
And they do. not. care.

You might be on Medicaid without realizing it — because it’s called something else in your state.

Ever heard of Apple Health? Soonercare? Medi-Cal? That’s Medicaid.
If they slash it, you could lose coverage and not know why.
Check this list to see what it’s called where you live. 👇

This kid is 15, and so has a moral clarity and uprightness that no adult elected official would or could ever have. There aren't really and never have been two sides of this issue, but if it has to be argued as a binary thing I don't see how anything less than this could seem like the side to be on.

Despite pressure from both Trump and Paramount, owner of CBS News, ‘60 Minutes’ reported on Trump’s executive orders targeting law firms. Marc Elias, a longtime Trump opponent who Trump named in a March executive order, was the only lawyer unafraid to talk with 60 Minutes. tinyurl.com/3mp5xna6

We need to build new and strengthen existing networks and institutions alongside the ones that the Republican Party is allowing Donald Trump to exploit and destroy.

We cannot wait years and years to "take over" what remains. Private, non-profit, local government, mutual aid, family, all of it
