The wealthy have attacked this country twice now. They won't stop until we stop them. We need every avenue. Higher taxes. Prosecutions, fines, anti trust, criminal prosecutions. One doesn't need feds - civil forfeiture. Take vehicles, boats, watches, cash. They MUST feel small & powerless
M Hobart@mhobart.bsky.social · 3w agoLet’s keep asking about money. Forfeiture and substantial fines and victim compensation funds happen in other contexts, why not here?
I'll take these concerns seriously a couple decades after we ban ludicris mode, ban all car commercials with high speed driving on empty streets and have speed governors on every car, truck & SUV
Gravel Influencer@gravelinfluencer.bsky.social · 4w agoThis is a solid and even-handed article. I'm glad it makes 3 important points: 1. Many kids are riding high-speed e-motos and not e-bikes 2. The e-bike panic has the potential to hurt riders who depend on these bikes 3. Kids want to and deserve freedom of mobility without cars!
If you’re: 1) curious about DSA 2) upset that @repmoskowitz.bsky.social is a 2x DeSantis-appointed Dem who joined DOGE, voted for ICE, and takes AIPAC $ and you’re in South Florida… join our FL25 town hall Thursday, July 2 with the Miami Beach Democratic Club: www.mobilize.us/oliverforcon...

@theurbanist.org @epi.org Reading Capitalism for All and one of the main platforms to rebuild middle class is more home ownership to drive wealth. I fear this is simplistic & misguided. Homes can't be allowed to increase in value. This typical capitalist view inevitably leads to 2 outcomes
Funny post, and true But I've seen 2 posts from this dude. One knocking both Hilary & Kamala as lousy candidates & this one Who is your preferred candidate? Cause shitting on the ones we got won't get rid of the scourge
Femsplaining is not that common. The women in my life just tell me what they want, or what to do, not how to do it. Whatever that is called, is incredibly common.

i'm on overload lately... so much insanity i can't even lock on to it enough to make a stupid political cartoon about it to help me process. jfc can we just impeach the lot of them? like, all of congress too? seriously, what are we even doing?
@housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov, @dncc.bsky.social @governor.ca.gov This chart is both cause & effect for most of what is wrong with America. If you aren't laying out your plan to change this, then you are the problem. Change fast or get out of the way
I guess some people are ignoring the fact that white people were shot because they were resisting. It's not like we just stirred to action because they were white. Action was already being taken before the murders. It would have amped up no matter who was murdered.
JUST IN: According to multiple witnesses, ICE fired into a vehicle in Minneapolis, striking a woman in the face as she tried to leave the area. This is a serious escalation with deadly consequences.
💯 With a bunch of execs as well.
Garrett M. Graff@vermontgmg.bsky.social · 7mo agoWe should send more presidents to prison. In the five years since January 6th, two other democracies both faced their own version of insurrectionists attempting to overturn elections. Both countries handled it better — and more definitively — than we did. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/five-ways-...
Don never wanted peace. He doesn't really want the Peace Prize, he just wants what Obama got, cause he's a tiny loser

SEC SD sucks this yr, but they sure can change a game thru officiating. The missed facemask on UGA was as lost as blatant as back to back tackles by a&m ol vs nd
Today I watched some plucky kids from Indiana destroy an evil, otherworldly villain that could possess pundits & others in charge into doing great harm. Great show. Meanwhile, what happened in the rose bowl?
The SEC has not beaten a non SEC team this bowl season. OVERATED their shit is stinking up the playoffs @minakimes.bsky.social
Sue Hegseth personally for a lot of money. Easy win & it's a language MAGA understands. Do it in Canada to prove "foreigners" can hold them accountable. Then write a book about copywriter infringement & gently discouraging bullies. You have the greatest possible justice arc in front of you!

🧵This horrific story is being reported all over Latin America, but not the US. Randall Gamboa, a Costa Rican, was deported from the US in such a critical health condition it required an ambulance flight. He then died upon his return to Costa Rica after being detained for 8 months by DHS.
The type of speech most punished in this society is that which consists of telling the truth about how the powerful have harmed you
We should be talking more about this shooting. This is the true tragedy. Murder is bad. But if we believe, as Charlie Kirk said, some gun deaths are worth it to have 2nd amendment, then the best we can hope for is that murderers kill n a way that improves society. Yesterday, 1 did. 1 did not

BREAKING: Trump starts LIFTING sanctions on Russian banks. Unbelievable. Just after Putin launched Russia's biggest air assault on Ukrainian civilians, Trump lifts restrictions on some of the Russian banks closest to him. And all done while America sleeps. An Oval Office, Kremlin-compromised.
