We need to use organized people to get organized money out of politics with an organized constitutional amendment.

Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.

@nmdoj.bsky.social’s complaint alleges that "the federal government has refused, without adequate legal justification, to share records that could help investigators identify witnesses, corroborate evidence, and determine the full scope of crimes that occurred in New Mexico."

BREAKING: The New Mexico Department of Justice has sued Acting AG Todd Blanche and the DOJ, requesting the court for access to unredacted Epstein-related investigative files that the DOJ has been withholding.

Only SIX DAYS left to vote for @ilhanmn.bsky.social We’re lucky to have a Congresswoman who fights for us every day with courage, conviction, and results—just ask Pramila Jayapal. And make your plan to vote: ilhanomar.com/vote

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"

I'd rather live next to a wind farm than a data center.

Today, Gaza buried 112 members of two families — Al-Hasayneh and Abu Sharia — whose remains were pulled from the rubble of homes destroyed earlier by Israeli airstrikes. #freepalestine🇵🇸 open.substack.com/pub/liberati...

One of the largest funerals in the history of the Palestinian cause.

They were buried under rubble for 1,000 days. The world did nothing.

This Thursday, SpaceX insiders will be released from their first post-IPO stock lockup and can cash out early. As I've been saying, this has all the hallmarks of a Ponzi scheme.

Even with nearly 80% of the ad spending, Haley Stevens lost. Money can shape campaigns, but voters still have the final say. - Haley Stevens: $63.9M (79%) - Abdul El-Sayed: $7.3M (9%) - Others: $9.7M (12%)

Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All. Michigan... We won. I am so proud to be your Democratic nominee for US Senate. Let's win in November.

Did you see how Apple, Amazon Walmart and other big companies are refunding the billions of dollars they got back from the federal tariff settlement to their customers, who ultimately bore the cost of higher prices? Yea, me neither.

They want money out of politics, money in their pockets, and Medicare for All. Now it's time to unite, build on this momentum, and send Abdul to the U.S. Senate by defeating Mike Rogers. All hands on deck to win big in November.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Abdul El-Sayed wins Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate in Michigan.

Congratulations @abdulelsayed.bsky.social! Outspent 11 to 1, Abdul proved that people-powered campaigns can still beat big money. Michiganders chose hope over fear, and a future rooted in dignity, justice, and opportunity.

Pro-Palestine protesters, who sprayed red paint and broke some windows, are about to be sentenced as *terrorists*. Neither they nor the jurors were told of this possibility during their trial for criminal damage. So they were unable to defend themselves against this far more serious charge.

Burnham urgently needs to engage on this. Retaining Mahmood as Home Secretary is a disastrous start. Let's hope he sees sense. Nothing is safe from the billionaire assault on humanity. None of our rights, however ancient & familiar, are impregnable. Fight for them now or lose them, perhaps for ever.

In April, the Starmer government passed an Act of Parliament enabling the police to shut down any protest they deem to have a “cumulative” impact on the community. The only protests that have ever succeeded are those with a cumulative impact. Effective protest is now illegal.

At astonishing speed, our rights are being cancelled, worldwide. In the UK, the prosecution of Rajiv Menon KC is the latest example of blatant authoritarianism. Why? Because this is what billionaires and corporations demand. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Think our basic rights are safe? In the age of oligarchs and corporate lobbying, think again | George Monbiot

The global assault on our freedoms is coming ever closer to home. Just look at the sinister prosecution of UK lawyer Rajiv Menon, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

I'm not sure folks have realized just how crazy the second half of 2026 and 2027 will be for global temperatures – on the back of a record-smashing El Niño event. Here is my latest estimate of where both years will end up compared to global temperatures since 1850.

It's not new. The BBC favoured the right and extreme right from the very beginning. But the rightwing media has managed to persuade us that it's a left-liberal institution, and has used this myth to push it ever further rightwards. This book should be widely read. www.versobooks.com/en-gb/produc...

The BBC is one of the most important institutions in Britain; it is also one of the most misunderstood. Despite its claim to be independent and impartial, and the constant accusations of a liberal bia...

We should never forget how the BBC has changed this country by giving endless airtime to Nigel Farage and other rightwing extremists, while shutting out progressive voices.

And why is #r4today giving (yet again) such prominence to a hair-brained scheme that has little chance to ever be implemented? A GE is unlikely soon and the threat of Reform winning it is apparently receding. What is the justification for legitimising it?

In either case, unless you genuinely need such a thing for your work, I will think of you as an immoral person if you own one. And I believe we should all start thinking that way.

The question in my mind is how out of touch with reality does someone need to be to buy such things during a climate emergency? How many Telegraph editorials add up to a downpayment on one of these contraptions? Or is it a giant Up-Yours to other people and the rest of the living world?

Climate science denial in physical form. The Land Rover Defender X (yup - they've gone full Musk). Price: £103,460, plus a few kids' lives. 🧵

For all they care, the rest of us can just sod off and die, as long as the oligarchs and corporations propping them up get what they want.

It's a racket, like every policy of the radical right. Which now includes the Conservative Party under Kemi Badenoch, as well as Reform, Republicans etc. Everything they say they want to do for our sake they are in fact doing for the sake of the rich and powerful.

The same people who have been telling us "we can't stop climate change, instead we must adapt" have been hammering our capacity to adapt, through their promotion of austerity. What they're really saying is "keep burning fossil fuels for the sake of our donors". www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
