This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

It’s time for the anti-oligarch party. No dark money, no billionaire influence. Platform: tax the rich and use the revenue for universal healthcare. Wholesale campaign finance reform. Reverse Citizens United day 1 of the supermajority. The largest voting block in the United States is NONVOTERS!

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

In under 1600 words.

Following up on this. This remains a ‘cave is minutes or hours away’ situation. If you want to impact how this plays out you need to contact senators literally now. I want to add additional points of context. What I’m relaying is what I’ve picked up from highly reliable sources.
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Good morning! AI is being force-fed to you by a handful of billionaires who will lose a bunch of money if they fail to convince you that you need it. You do not need it 🫶

Look what we've become
ICE stalked a mother into her children’s school while she was with her children. As they assaulted and kidnapped her they attacked her son, who tried to aid his mom. They hauled the boy into a stairwell, closed the door, and covered the window to hide whatever they did to him next.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

The system is broken.

Nonprofits need support now more than ever. Federal grants have dried up, large foundations have narrowed their scope, and it’s tougher than ever for small organizations to keep the lights on. Once these great programs are lost, they are gone forever. Please consider giving if you have the means.

Trump’s allies now control X, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, & TikTok.

They own Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ & NY Post.

They own Sinclair Broadcasting which has 200 tv stations and local news in 100 markets.

“Freedom of speech” is now what Trump and his billionaire pals say it is.

Over 10 million Americans would lose their healthcare under Trump’s Tax Scam — and that doesn’t include the millions more who would lose their coverage because of GOP cuts to the Affordable Care Act.

A 7-year-old lioness reunites with the man who raised her after she was abandoned as a cub 🦁❤️ He slept beside her outside so she'd grow up as naturally as possible. Now she tackles him with love-hugs, face rubs, pure joy-until they collapse in a pile of trust. 🫶 #WildBond #HeartmeltingNature

All of us urgently have to say no to war, have to make clear that the vast majority of America rejects war with Iran, and have to reject the underlying logic of endless violence.

Here is the grad speech that NYU is now withholding the student's diploma for:

"As I search my heart today in addressing you all…the only thing that is appropriate to say in this time and to a group this large is a recognition of the atrocities currently happening in Palestine."

If you feel like you need to “do something” to fight fascism, investing in girls and gender-expansive youth empowerment can go a long way.

The world should be outraged but few even acknowledge that this is happening. I will never forgive the united states oligarchy for funding and enabling this genocide with my tax dollars.
