Watching Zohran and Tish James and others rally in NYC last night was sanity restoring: there is a message that resonates with US voters even in these times. They just need a real choice.

This admin made off with the biggest heist for the ultra rich and now wants to jack up health premiums for working folk to pay for it.

The ACA now has net +35 favorability amongst polled Americans, and is favored even among Republicans and in Republican controlled districts. Turns out everyone likes having health care!

Finally saw ‘One Battle After Another.’ Definitely a sign of the times, but not his best film. But I’m glad the fascists hate it. Sean Penn should win all the awards.

Still thinking about ‘The Alabama Solution.’ What a great piece of muckraking journalism. Bring back muckraking journalism.

It’s wild that having a cell phone to document abuse inside prisons is criminalized in Alabama. Topsy turvy.

Every one needs to watch The Alabama Solution, a gripping new doc on the horrors of prison in the US, nothing short of modern day slavery, filmed by prisoners themselves.

Why has Dominion Voting Systems been settling defamation lawsuits with Trump allies who falsely claimed the company stole the 2020 election?

Because Dominion has just been bought by a company run by a former GOP election official.

Be warned.

Letitia James was my rep when I lived in Brooklyn. Her courage in seeking to hold Trump accountable has resulted in this baseless indictment. The Justice Department is not credible anymore.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

#SAGAFTRA has released the following statement on the announcement of “Tilly Norwood,” an A.I.-generated “actor” that is reportedly seeking representation:
SAG-AFTRA believes creativity is, and should remain, human-centered. The union is opposed to the replacement of human performers by synthetics.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

The brain tricks us constantly. It mistakes scrolling and "seeking information" for DOING THINGS. That is not doing. You have to act.

Great conversation with @astrominx.bsky.social at Beinecke yesterday, about Janelle Monae, atrofuturism, and dreaming beyond despair.
