Any sweeping systemic change you want to make in the United States has to begin with adding seats to the Supreme Court in 2029. No major reform bill will survive the current court. No civil rights law, no anti-corruption law, no wealth tax, nothing.

Living in Chicago and hopefully visiting a city near you soon!
The Milo stuff is the perfect picture of fascism. You think you're protected because you go as big as you can on racism, you spend years harassing the movement's perceived enemies, you even disavow your own sexuality. They'll still throw you in a cage over the tiniest disagreement already forgotten.
What anti-fascist work are you committed to doing over the next two years? Where are you specifically laser focusing in your activism/organizing?
A quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!
Hey @chicagotribune.com Editorial Board: Why did you describe me as a “bomb-throwing influencer”? This is wrong, inflammatory, and racist. Change it. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/07/05/e...
I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.
Costa Rica is an island nation? Is this a translation mistake from the original from DPA?

some wisdom from james wilson, framer. "The truth is that, in our governments, the supreme, absolute, and uncontrollable power remains in the people."
Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy. This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis. 44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.
Long 🧵… KEY WORD: DISABILITY We tried to warn you all that they were coming for the disabled communities— we’re are there now.
🪷MsGrumpyBunny🪷@msgrumpybunny.bsky.social · 8mo agoI’m seeing a pattern here. Pattern recognition is my superpower. 🧵… **Of the 1.26M people in MN on Medicaid, 19.5 % of those have a DISABILITY, that would imply roughly 246k Minnesotans How many will be impacted by this?
One of the lessons I hope people take away from Jesse Jackson’s life and the outpouring of remembrances small and large is that progress is made and measured in every act and utterance against oppression and not measured solely in legislative or electoral victories.
Some of us didn't hop online in the 90s or the 2000s to get rich and famous, man. Some of us hopped online in the 90s and 2000s 'cause it was FUN to chat with people all over the world... for free! Baby, we grew up when it cost a zillion dollars to call long distance! We had pen pals at school!
if you're an older person who finds words like mogg and maxxing annoying, just starting using them. people over the age of 30 have the superpower to end trends by simply adopting them

I think that the best way to build an audience for your writing is to write interesting things that people will want to read.
“Since those documents you saw outlining allegations of terrible people committing awful crimes against children does not involve me, the country needs to move on and stop talking about those crimes”
NEW: This isn't about "training." The two agents who murdered Alex Pretti - Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez - have been with Border Patrol for 8 and 12 years respectively. You can't reform CBP. Abolish ICE/CBP. www.propublica.org/article/alex...

Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich
When they say Me Too "went too far," they mean "got too close."
Just saw The 4th Witch, by www.manualcinema.com, as part of the 2026 Chicago International Puppet Theater Festival. chicagopuppetfest.org/event/manual... After the show they invited us to come onstage to look at the puppets and equipment, and to ask questions of the cast or musicians. Amazing show.
Someday corporations and technology companies will pretend they were always against this
MLK Jr. said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people." Remember this.
