22 California billionaires have spent a combined $150 million so far to defeat Prop 40. By spending their fortunes trying to stop California from taxing billionaires, they're making the argument for a billionaire wealth tax more clearly and articulately than anyone else possibly could.

Police have killed nearly 1000 people this year so far. That doesn't include deaths in custody.

Mullin: Saying there have been many ICE involved shootings is absolutely false. You guys don't cover all our other arrests, just these ones (There have been at least 25 shootings involving immigration officers in Trump's second term.) Guess he has no problem shooting those he deems to be unworthy.

Nicolas Cage says he’s “probably not” working with Amazon again after refusing to sign AI waiver for “Spider-Noir”: ‘I am not an AI-friendly actor’

the pope has NOT answered my letter but I repeat nevertheless: if he excommunicates JD Vance, I will be back in the pew for at least two holidays a year!!!

Also: the cruelty inflicted on the unhoused is a barometer of the state violence we're willing to tolerate.

It's actually not complicated. You end homelessness with safe, dignified housing people can afford.

Yes. Homelessness is a choice that we make, as a society, every day. If it gets treated as part of the architecture of civilization, that’s only because powerful forces want you to think that way. Finally, it would cost less to house every unhoused person than it costs us to leave them homeless.

It's World Homeless Day, and I'll just say: Homelessness isn't some great unsolvable mystery. People are homeless because they don't have homes. This suffering persists not for lack of solutions, but because enormous wealth and power are invested in maintaining the very structures that produce it.

damn. got a spam reply on here. moving up in the world.

Trump's suit appears to be part of Jos. A. Bank's Traveler line. The suit is listed as having been made abroad using a wool-polyester-spandex blend. The company describes it as having the "ultimate stretch" and was designed to minimize body odor.

One of the most disconcerting moments of living in this timeline of the world in the U.S. is that A LOT of people in this country keep acting like there's a special line that needs to be crossed for fascism to *arrive.* The reality is that we are CURRENTLY living under Federal fascism. NOW.

Seeing lots of people go well Mamdani can't do anything about the NYPD because they won't obey him and you do see how this makes your entire political project a joke right? Like if that's true then you just spent all of your time electing a hostage Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Still over here hating George W. Bush.

That’s their whole job. They willingly signed up for this work. I know the job market is tough, but not enough to where this was someone’s only choice.

I think we should make it illegal to have more than one house or a garage that houses more than two cars

I am obsessed with this clip and have watched it 900 times because it encapsulates how so much of current-day fascism is "people stopped inviting me to parties because I'm unpleasant and I need you to make that illegal"

There are several people I communicate with and fundraise for in Gaza. In the past week I have been sent voice memos of drones and gunfire, videos of a hungry newborn baby, and photographs of a child playing in the dilapidated remains of a bombed building. Everyone is worried for the coming winter.
