"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."
The top 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth.
The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth.
Read that back.
Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.
Oh, I'm sure this will end well...
Vaccination eliminated measles from the U.S. 25 years ago. But it can still spread in pockets where vaccination rates are low, like the west Texas county with a current outbreak. Here's how fast.
Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years.
Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.
The House GOP just passed a draconian budget resolution, but despite GOP misinformation, this is just a blueprint, not a final bill. That means there’s still time to push back against proposed Medicaid cuts and tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy. Here’s what you need to know. 👇
"Transparency."
Donald Trump is not fit to be President of the United States of America. His presence in the Oval Office is a stain on the legacy of this country.
I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.
Trump's Social Security Administration commissioner just called for a 50% staff reduction.
This would gut SSA field offices and make it harder for millions of seniors to access benefits.
Make no mistake: this is an attack on Social Security itself.
Cover of X-Men (2024) issue 12, featuring Puck in the center surrounded by Psylocke, Cyclops, and Guardian, all looking downwards.
Got really busy last week, but I've been catching up on comics. This week's issue of X-Men was pretty good! I love the solidarity between the X-Men and Alpha Flight. It's nice to see their contributions during Fall of X recognized, and I'm glad Scott was ready to help them out...

At @cbr.bsky.social, I reviewed Exceptional X-Men #6, an insightful look at what it's like to be a mutant that can't "pass" as human.

I reviewed Sentinels #5, which has been one of the best series of the current era. I've seen it accused of being "copoganda" by people who clearly never read past a preview. This was never going be a comfortable read but was executed flawlessly.

A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping with major retailers tomorrow, February 28, as part of an “economic blackout.”
I encourage you to join. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/boycott
Opt out tomorrow!
Happy Economic Blackout Day!
A tweet from Tom Malinowski with a verified badge reads: "Whoops, I accidentally cancelled Ebola prevention! Doh, I fired the the bird flu experts! Oops-a-daisy, I stopped the Lutheran Charities foster care and adoption services! My bad, I sacked the nuclear weapons workers! Now can I have access to your tax returns?"
Living through corrupt kakistocracy
The base is the most important part of any structure...the pyramids, for example.
"...anti-government ideologues,do not want people to have good experiences with the government..clean energy investments, Social Security, every child enrolled in Head Start, improvements in air and water quality, are threats to the right-wing..

Like it or not, they are coming for our SS...now is the time to speak up...
Remember that Captain America had a Gay Jewish friend named Arnie who protected him from neighborhood bullies in his scrawny youth, and when Arnie passed years later, Cap started a center for LGBTQ+ youth in New York in his friend Arnie's memory.
This is canon. There'd be no Cap without Arnie Roth.
You know, everyone BUT me is fine...
After years of cheering on Trump’s war against “government workers,” his own diehard supporters are now realizing that means them too.
I hate to say it, but they have succeeded over and over and over, and everyone just sits around and says, "Huh, that's not good."
Too little, too late...he TOLD YOU what he was going to do and you refused to believe what he TOLD YOU he was going to do...who's to blame?
what would you do differently if you were actively trying to cause more plane crashes? www.cnn.com/2025/02/16/p...
We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.
Oh Jebus...
This should end well...
