CAP's Corporate Power Reset has hit the big time: The Wall Street Journal has taken aim at it, mockingly (I think) calling it "dazzling." But that may well be accurate; they're apparently blinded to the fact that Hawaii's new law exercises the most basic of state corporate-law authority.

This is Juneteenth in Trump's economy: • Black workers are faring worse • Black worker median weekly real earnings dropped • Black unemployment has spiked sharply • Black families face higher costs & less protections

SO excited that the Reproductive Health Care Accessibility Act was introduced today by Murray, Duckworth, & Pressley. I'm proud that @americanprogress.bsky.social has endorsed this bill & I'm grateful to be part of the the community that fights for accessible reproductive care for disabled people.

Hawaii is poised to become the first state to use its long-dormant legal authority to drain corporate money from its elections—and the legal questions raised about the move have clean answers.

So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out

“Humans are born with a full set of powers; they are not given to them by the government. In fact, the opposite is true: As the declaration states, government derives all its power from the consent of the governed. Corporate power to act in the world is significantly different.”

Montana — yes, deep red Montana — has a plan to effectively neuter Citizens United. No Supreme Court ruling or constitutional amendment needed. This is no joke. Here's how it works. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1fP...

The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam. It would take away the rights of working people to make their voices heard at the ballot box. The Senate must reject this bill.

I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is. People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)

There’s never enough money for schools or healthcare or veterans. But there’s always enough money to bomb people on the other side of the world. We can support the democracy movement in Iran without bombing innocent schoolchildren and sending our American troops off to die.

Very unfortunately, a very rare L from Senator Van Hollen. We cannot continue to hollow out the tax base if we want to be able to fund the programs that will make our country less unfair. There simply isn't enough money only at the top. If we wanna look like Europe, we have to tax like Europe.

Sen. Chris Van Hollen’s tax relief plan could benefit tens of millions of middle-class workers, with a focus on those making at or below a living wage.

Invading Iran makes us safer but now we need DHS funding because invading Iran made us less safe

Purple Teacher@peaceandteachin.bsky.social · 5mo ago

The GOP want to use the illegal bombing of Iran to force the Democrats to fund DHS. Trump started a war to evade Epstein. If they want to fund DHS they need to impeach the pedophile in The White House and charge him with rape. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 apple.news/ABhEKbFvkQMi...
