Lies. It's 200 times when solar panels are "mentioned" in the fire report. e.g. “the fire did not reach the solar panel”

When the banks needed help, they called it “stabilizing the economy.” When airlines needed help, they called it “protecting jobs.” When corporations got tax breaks, they called it “pro-growth.” When working people need health care? “SOCIALISM.”

Closing tax havens and taxing the biggest climate polluters could unlock US$1 TRILLION every single year to fund climate resilience, rebuild devastated communities, and transition to clean energy. We don't need vague promises. We need bold action from our governments.

Take away the black fish and you get the John Birch Society ca. 1962. Change the label on the black fish to “the Jews” and you get the American Nazi Party or Gerald LK Smith ca. 1962.

remarkable that the United States has made it official policy to only accept white refugees and people still think it's up for debate whether or not they're white nationalists

Hatred and exclusion of Americans due to their religion is illegal, anti-American, and disgusting. We will not be silent.

Private equity is price gouging firefighters now. Yes, you read that right. Firefighters. Is this the most evil thing they've done yet?

BAD: GOP Sen Jim Banks lying about @abdulelsayed.bsky.social’s positions, falsely claiming that El-Sayed called for open borders and abolishing prisons. WORSE: @kristenwelker.bsky.social letting Banks’ lies go uncorrected. I was able to fact check on Google in 2 min. WHERE ARE HER PRODUCERS?

It has often been said that the U.S. president treats the country— and its Constitution—like his personal plaything. To that end, here’s our latest song.

El-Sayed: "Notice how they used my full name, in echoes to exactly what they did against President Obama. At the end of the day, it's not radical to believe people should be able to afford their groceries, they should have healthcare, that the president should not be able to deny elections ... "

AOC: Millennials are not punk kids anymore. We're grown adults with mortgages and kids, and that generation is starting to be decisive at the polls. And there is anger at being ignored, having our economic futures mortgaged by the generations that came before us and we're taking the reins

They openly admit their election crimes & are actively doing everything they can to undermine & outright steal the Midterm Elections. Any surprise he fired the remaining members of the Election Assistance Commission? He knows if he loses he's headed for a 3rd Impeachment & an orange jumpsuit. 🤞 👍

Landlord, Michael E Heijer accidentally CCed the entire Seattle city council, asking fellow landlords to testify against rental junk fee banning. Said renters who testified in favor of banning junk fees were the “unemployed left trying to stick it to the man.” Still think this isn’t a class war?

A Senate candidate talking about the Powell memo???? Pinch me, am I dreaming????

Team Talarico@teamtalaricohq.bsky.social · 6d ago

James Talarico: 50 years ago, a corporate lawyer named Lewis Powell circulated a memo around DC — a blueprint for how corporations could amass political power, reverse the gains of the Great Society and the New Deal, and rig the system for themselves. And it worked.

That's a big kick in the guts. Payrolls is much weaker, and the U.S. lost -23k jobs in March, well below expectations of +80k. Huge downward revisions, too: May now +63k (instead of +129k), June now +20k (down from +53k). Very bad news. Revise down your views substantially.
