Happy #primeweek! I just want to let y’all know that the Amazon shipping warehouse where my husband works is denying workers fans during a nationally recognized heat emergency and everything you order during time week places workers’ lives at risk.

One thing I don’t understand is why, when people are outraged by some injustice or affront — like book bans — they don’t first look to see who is already tracking the issue, who’s already working on education + organization. “We need to do something!” People *are*. Find them. Help them.

Every four years, American voters have to vote like there's a "Thanos level" threat to US democracy, but when American politicians get into office, they don't approach politics like democracy is on the line. They don't show respect for that democracy that so many voters came out to "save."

We need more, but credit where due: both The Nation (June 2024 issue) and Boston Review have run a breakdown of the Project 2025 “Mandate for Leadership” document. Media Matters, too. Lots of good work going on digesting this. www.bostonreview.net/articles/ins... www.mediamatters.org/project-2025

Where are the columnists who are experts in specific fields, breaking down what the Heritage Foundation + Trump want to do to each individual federal agency? E.g. I read the section dedicated to our intelligence agencies, and had to stop, since I was starting to feel a little nauseous.

I completely agree with this column: conservatives should not vote. Stay home and feel morally superior about it. 🙏 www.nytimes.com/2024/07/04/o...

I’m glad Biden addressed the nation last night (proof of life and all) but his message amounted to: I will not use the vast power the court just gave me, but Trump will. Good for contrast, horrible in conceding the premise that there are two sets of rules.

This is my longest and most important newsletter, it is the thing that binds everything I've ever written. Please repost, read it, share it with your friends, demand people on the street read it, make them read it. They must read it

Newsletter: The Shareholder Supremacy has eaten the world, turning the tech industry into the playground of do-nothing management dictators that see human beings as assets and the customer as subordinate to growth - all inspired by GE’s Jack Welch. www.wheresyoured.at/tss/

The Shareholder Supremacywww.wheresyoured.at I promise you, everything that's happening makes sense. It all feels so chaotic, so utterly, offensively stupid, so disconnected from reality that it's hard to understand how Meta can run a terrible company with decaying services that's also wildly profitable, or how Meta, Microsoft and Google can proliferate unprofitable, unsustainable

The director of Al shifa hospital has been released after 7 months of torture, during which he witnessed the torture and murder of many other medical staff. Netanyahu, Ben gvir, Benny Gantz and others are calling his release an outrage and he may be targeted for killing or re-kidnapping.

I don't think Biden should call Garland to his office and demand he open a criminal investigation immediately against Roberts, Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Trump, and every executive at Fox News on charges of treason by tomorrow or he's fired, but if he /did/ do that, it wouldn't be criminal

Folks we all are guilty of armchair QBing campaigns but I think it's pretty uncontroversial to assert that a statement about a SCOTUS ruling that does not talk about either the ruling or SCOTUS is not how to play this.

“The Court’s conservative majority has revealed itself to be the most direct threat to American democracy, and any Democrat who is not ready to shelve old fears about ‘court packing’ and get serious about expanding and reforming the Court isn’t made for this moment.” Correct.

I've seen enough -- this is the most radical, dangerous, arrogant, out-of-control Supreme Court in American history, and it needs to be treated as such. open.substack.com/pub/kevinmkr...

frankly, the first defeat that we can hand them, in November, is the easiest possible one we are going to be offered, and we'd be fools not to make it happen.

a thing to remember, in all of this horror, is that these are not the actions of a political party that is confident it represents the will of the people, and who is currently out of power and enslaved to a deeply flawed avatar. the struggle is not over and they have not won

Simply put, neither the Supreme Court nor the Presidency should exist. In a modern country, they would have a constitutional court, and a prime minister—not the king and clerics we are governed by. The American political system is outdated, corrupt, and ultimately not worth saving.

Everybody, I already said this yesterday, & this is time for you to practice what you preach. Yesterday the Supreme Court made a ruling that makes being homeless more hazardous than it's ever been. There are tons of mutual aid seekers with you on bluesky that you can help spare from homelessness.

So to recap, SCOTUS says: * We justices are the executive branch now * The majestic equality of the laws prohibits both rich and poor alike from sleeping under bridges * Obstructing the certification of the president after an election is, at least in isolation, very cool and very legal
