I just filed an emergency motion in court to immediately block the ongoing and unnecessary militarization of Los Angeles.

The federal government is turning the military against American citizens. This is unprecedented and threatens the very core of our democracy.

Their goal is to leave America sicker, poorer, more desperate and less free. Easier to impose Christofascism on a broken people.

OK, this is wild.

In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.

It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.

What the HELL?

seems like trump mainly uses “low IQ” to describe black people. of a piece with his birtherism and his insistence that there are specific, low-wage “black jobs” that must be protected from immigrants
I listened to President Trump call Rep. Jasmine Crockett a "low IQ individual" and I realized I had heard that before, so put the question to ChatGPT.

Despite repeated warnings from critics, another study finds that basic income does not reduce work effort.

Germany's Grundeinkommen study found recipients maintained full-time work, averaging 40 hours a week—matching the control group.

“No doubt his conduct has already exceeded any prior standard for impeachment by the House” Ossoff told a town hall audience, adding later that there is “no question” a number of Trump’s actions have risen to the level of impeachable offenses.

Today in America, the rich are getting richer & working families are struggling.

What is Mr. Trump doing about this?

He's getting ready to give tax cuts to billionaires while making it harder for Americans to access the Medicare, Social Security & veterans benefits they earned.

I cannot convey enough how grateful I am to the millions of you all supporting us with your time, resources, and energy.

Your support has allowed us to rally people together at record scale to organize their communities.

All with an average donation of $21.

THANK YOU & Pa’lante 🙏🏽♥️
News: AOC had her strongest ever quarter, raising over $9.5m from 266k individual donors for an average of just $21.

AOC doesn’t take a dollar from lobbyists or corporate PACS. Our top donor professions are teachers and nurses. 64% were first time contributors.

AOC: Some of the Republicans whose districts we visited just warned their leadership that they’re not sure they can vote for Medicaid cuts now.

We’ve got them on their back foot. But our job is not done.

We will rally every corner of the U.S.

We will not stop until they actually vote no.

Tariffs on their own do not create more American jobs or lead to more US production. In fact, Trump's last trade war cost roughly 300,000 jobs. All these tariffs will do is give corporations cover to jack up prices and pad their profits at our expense.

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points.

And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.

This is the type of city we can and should build.
A former French military base, Vauban is a thriving neighbourhood of 5,500 residents connected to Freiburg town centre by bus and light rail. Built in the late 1990s as a radical experiment in low-car living, it forgoes virtually all on-street parking in favour of active, green, and social spaces. 🧵
