Tired of late stage capitalism. But also, I like to kayak weekly if the lake isn’t frozen. And I think Elon Musk is pathetic fucken loser. 🙂

Update: Charlie Kirk was an asshole. He made a career out of selling hate.

It shouldn’t take a slur that impacts you personally, or losing your healthcare or SNAP, or being forced to sell your farm, or having to watch a loved one get unjustly detained and deported...to walk away from a madman.

Cruelty isn’t strength.

Reject it.

Always.

Trump is throwing 15 million Americans off health care.

He's doubling premiums for 20 million Americans.

Now, he's refusing to use a $5 billion emergency SNAP fund to keep 16 million kids from going hungry.

But the 1% keep $1 trillion in tax breaks.

Oligarchy in action.

U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis just took the bench in this lawsuit over the use of force against ICE protesters in Chicago.
U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis is set to hold a hearing in this case at 8:30 am CT. Unclear why she called it (it was before the filing below).

DISCLAIMER: The Chicago Newspaper Guild is a plaintiff. I’m a member but not an officer, and I’ve had no involvement in the suit (other than covering it).
Good morning. An overnight court filings reveals discussions took place Wednesday over whether the Trump administration has violated a judge's order addressing the use of force in its Chicago immigration campaign.

"The government believes the TRO has not been violated at all."

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

I'm sorry but it's just wild we are in the middle of a government shutdown and the House Republicans are REFUSING TO SHOW UP FOR WORK so they can protect billionaire pedophiles and billionaire tax breaks.

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

Californian Redwood Giant Sequoia - planted in eastern Pennsylvania. It will probably be my single greatest positive contribution to humanity. You can order them online and they’ll ship out in good shape. I’d encourage anyone to try it out. There’s a 150 year old forest growing in England.👍
