Solidarity is crucial for democracy, but under-theorized and under-appreciated. My brilliant co-author @astradisastra and I write about the history of the concept and its role in American politics in our new book. bookshop.org/p/books/solida…

Wait! FEMA has money to build concentration camps but doesn’t have money to help communities rebuild from floods, hurricanes, and wildfires?

Something deeply evil about a society that creates a trillionaire before it solves homelessness or hunger

You shouldn’t be charged more or paid less because of your ZIP code or search history. I just introduced a bill to ban “surveillance pricing” — when corporations use your data to hike up prices or cut your wages. It’s invasive. It’s exploitative. And it needs to end.

A daily reminder that Medicare for All would save $650 billion and 68,000 lives each and every year, according to the Republican CBO Director and the Yale University School of Public Health.

The student protesters were obviously correct on Gaza. The reaction to them was obviously idiotic and depraved. We're probably still a while out from this being banal conventional wisdom, but it's coming.

I don't understand how anyone with a soul can see these images and not immediately understand how fucking evil this war is. Every country in the world should be putting maximum pressure on Israel to allow in aid and to broker a ceasefire that permanently ends the war.

Western countries will never be forgiven for their role in the deliberate and mass starvation of innocent children, in front of our eyes, in the year 2025. Genocide.

There are 22 vacant homes for every homeless person in the U.S. Private equity firms own over 35,000 of those vacant homes. It’s not a housing shortage crisis. It’s a housing hoarding and affordability crisis.

The United States summed up in two headlines.

Never forget that Donald Trump sent 2,700 Marines to stop protesters in Los Angeles But sent ZERO to Texas to help find 180+ missing people or recover the bodies of more than 100 dead. That's Donald Trump.

This is horrific. Anyone who supports this administration should have to respond to this.

BREAKING: The New York Times reports that FEMA failed to answer two-thirds of the calls to its disaster assistance line in the days following devastating floods in Texas, after firing hundreds of call center contractors on July 5.

Just to be clear: Palestinians who refuse to “voluntarily” enter this concentration camp will be MURDERED. That’s the plan. Stated openly. And people still insist with a straight face that this isn’t genocide.

Zohran won more Democratic votes in the NYC mayoral primary alone than Dean Phillips won in the entire 2024 presidential primary process. 🤷‍♀️

He’s for the banks, not you.

CNN: According to four officials inside FEMA.. a new rule that any expected expenditure over $100,000 needed sign off from Noem slowed the federal response.  The sources tell us that FEMA's deployment of urban search and rescue teams, which are typically deployed in…

Denmark has proposed a law to give citizens copyright to their faces, voices and likeness in a bid to curb unauthorized deep fakes. The law gives folks legal ground to go after anyone who uses their image to produce AI generated content without consent. vice.com/en/article/den…

The problem is not the mythical 35-year old playing video games in his parent’s basement collecting Medicaid & $6 a day in food stamps. The problem is over the last 50 years $79 trillion in wealth has been redistributed from the bottom 90% to the top 1%. That’s trillion with a t

Maybe… but most provisions don’t set in till 2027 and liberal media is too busy attacking Zohran instead.

The debt, deportation, and death bill has passed. Congress further decimates care work to fund violence work. ICE becomes the highest-funded federal law enforcement agency ever known. It hasn’t been sold this way, but it’s a massive public jobs program for fascists.
