"There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Remember this. Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy." (1/2)

stellan skarsgård seems like a good dude

How would you describe that worldview?
My father told me something when I was very small to instill confidence in me: “Nobody in the world is worth more than you, but nobody’s worth less.” It is an egalitarian view that I’ve carried around in my life. That’s why I am for free schools, free universities, free health care, and free babysitting. Because our society could afford it. In America, people think social democracy is some kind of communism. They think capitalism is freedom. It’s not. It’s only freedom to exploit people.

Let’s be clear: the administration is choosing not to tap emergency funds available to provide critical food assistance for families in need.

Their own shutdown plan — which they recently deleted — confirmed they could. Read it for yourself:

Unsurprised. They want anyone disabled to grovel before their church for a handout.

We should make every member of Congress take it. Some of the old fogies will assuredly bomb it.

Once again, the main day of Tea Party protests had about 300,000 nationwide, but saw endless coverage.

The No Kings protests had about 7,000,000 nationwide, and many media outlets reacted with a yawn.

No Kings was nearly 25x as big as the Tea Party but the Tea Party got 25x the attention.

Thomas Zimmer @thomaszimmer.bsky.social · 1d

Ask yourself this: How would the New York Times have covered the protests if it had been seven million MAGA supporters flooding the streets? We don’t even have to guess: We know how they and other mainstream outlets covered the Tea Party protests during Obama’s first term.

My carpal tunnel was getting worse and worse until I raised my desk and got this, to keep the wrist angle as static as possible. Maybe it would help you. Good luck.

If money is speech, and corporations have rights, Bessent, then a sovereign nation is welcome to do its ad spend however they want, even psyops.

No, we don't want "free" healthcare.

We want universal healthcare paid for by our taxes that covers everyone and leaves no one bankrupted and sick.

This isn’t difficult to comprehend.

I’m one of 20 million+ people in the U.S. living with #LongCOVID.
This fight isn’t just personal—it’s part of a long struggle for health justice in a nation that’s never been healthy for all.

As a Senate candidate, Fetterman guaranteed voters he’d be a reliable Dem, not another Manchin or Sinema.

Constantly. It was his core promise to primary voters.

Liar.

More people marched today than at any time in the history of the United States.

For @nytimes.com, it was the 6th most important story.

They are making sure that those in power do not see what they do not want to see.

This is not what we were brought up to think of as journalism.
