You dislike Muslims, but have you thought why? Do you know any Muslims? Have you had bad experiences with Muslims? Or is your hate coming from the TV? Radio? Press? You don’t hate Muslims, you think you do, because you’ve been told to by the media, every minute of every day. #Islamaphobia #RacistUK

I haven't been this impressed with a candidate in a l-o-n-g time.
If @jamestalarico.bsky.social is the future of the Democratic Party, we are in VERY good shape.

When we win, the first bill I’m filing is a comprehensive anti-corruption package:
Overturn Citizens United
Ban corporate PACs and super PACs
Ban members of Congress from trading stocks
Once we defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this entire corrupt system.

Two pages. The same story.
SNAP cuts: American children are losing food assistance and going hungry.
USAID gutted: Children overseas are dying after humanitarian aid was cut.
History won’t remember the excuses. It’ll remember who let children suffer.

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America:
1. Break up corporate monopolies
2. Continue building union power
3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics
Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

The reflecting pool debacle is the perfect visual metaphor for the Trump Administration - superficial approaches to complex problems leading to worse outcomes than if he had done nothing.

Extreme heat kills more people in the US every year than all other severe weather events combined, and the US is facing another deadly summer.
Meanwhile, Trump has eliminated scores of crucial heat prevention programs.
His agenda isn’t just cruel. It’s deadly.

More than anything, Pope Leo's new encyclical, "Magnifica Humanitas," is an exhaustive account of what could happen if AI development goes awry—as for what happens if it goes right, Leo mostly leaves that to the reader’s imagination, Francis X. Rocca writes:
Pope Leo’s Unsettling Vision of the AI Future

The level of political illiteracy in the US cannot be overstated as a reason we arrived here.
The US has successfully propagandized its population for decades into believing "politics" is optional, rather than collective decision making.
Politics is more than voting in rigged two party systems.
