Billionaires and corporate America didnât get lucky in court. It rigged the bench against working people, judge by judge. Our new report with @Groundwork exposes the judges doing billionaires' bidding: nominationnotes.substack.comâŚ
For the conservative legal movement, the only constitutional response to inequality is to perpetuate it. ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/aâŚ
This is neither normal nor acceptable. Why wonât the GOP live in the reality-based community? Itâs like they want to throw this country into chaos. Itâs not going to pay off the way they think it will.

A brief review of recent technical âerrorsâ at Meta:
1. Restricting the Facebook pages of Brazilian president Lula who is in a runoff election against a Trump-favored candidate
2. Shutting down the pages of Albanians protesting Jared Kushnerâs plans to build a luxury resort in the country
3. Rejecting ads for a documentary critical of Elon Musk
4. Shutting down the No Kings instagram page in the middle of a major anti-Trump protest

Yesterday, during the No Kings nationwide early voting Day of Action, the groupâs Instagram page was taken down for 90 minutes and its administrators were locked out. â¨â¨@Meta owes the organizers and the American people an explanation of why it silenced No Kings and undermined its Day of Action.
Today, Saturday, October 17, at ~1:30 PM ET, the administrators of the main #NoKings instagram account lost access & are unable to log in, right in the middle of the day of action. Spread the word & use alt accounts such as #Indivisible. #FreeSpeech #NoFascism
No thank you.

To my mind, there is only one Vision Quest. And it definitely connected emotionally. @MatthewModine
ALT A still of Elmo giving the "six minutes" speech to Louden Swain in the original Vision Quest (1985).
REVIEW: Marvelâs âVisionQuest,â like its protagonist, struggles to connect emotionally.
âThe show plays with some clever concepts, particularly in its visual presentation,â writes Varietyâs Alison Herman. âBut this imagery is larded with so much convoluted backstory and abstract concepts that âVisionQuestâ ends up in the exact same predicament as Vision himself, a synthetic being trying and mostly failing to connect with his emotions.â

Sheâs right: expand the Court. Working people are getting screwed over by a corrupt court that rules for the oligarchy over workers every time. @KamalaHarris agrees, @KekePalmer agrees: it's time to add justices to SCOTUS.

No, itâs not illegal for a journalist to record a politician at a press availability when the politician invited the press! Classic Andy Harris. We served together in the Maryland State Senate and Congress for two decades â he's an authoritarian through and through, and can be counted on by tyrants all over the world â Trump, Putin, Orban, J6 insurrectionists. How dare he lecture his constituents about the First Amendment when he wanted to cut off all funds to the University of Maryland because he didnât approve of a movie a student group showed on campus. If you want to support freedom and progress in Maryland and across America, please help out Dan Schwartz, @Schwartz4_MD1st in these final 20 days!

Time and time again, the Trump administration has been caught lying to federal judges to get their way and go after their political enemies.
Enough. Whether for Rep. Omar or the next person on Trumpâs enemies list: JUDGES MUST stop taking Trump cronies at their word and hold this administration accountable for their lies.
What is the "shadow docket" of the Supreme Court and why is it a problem for our democracy? I break it down in this brief video. #DemandJustice #SCOTUS #CourtReformNow!

Once again. Just like the Paramount Merger Gavin Newsom does what he always does. Sells out the working class people for the billionaires again and again. Not only that but endorses a bill that will make it impossible to tax the wealthy at all.
