He sounds exactly like every racist old drunk at the end of a shitty bar, talking to a barman who isn’t listening, stretching out the drinks to make it to closing time.

Under capitalism, as more & more money is siphoned up to fewer & fewer, politicians, regulators, courts & the media become ever cheaper to buy. It’s β€œRegulatory Capture,” and it’s such a well-known feature of capitalism that even Adam Smith wrote about it almost 200 years ago. We can do better!

But they won’t, because under capitalism government is just a tool of the oligarchs. The next crash is coming, sooner than we think.

It's 100% Legal to Arrest ICE Agents. Governors Need to Step Up. Call your Governor and demand better.

The only option is for citizens to demand that every warrantless kidnapping be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law they swore to uphold.

The Washington Post Wants to Protect Its Owner From a Wealth Tax The editorial board at Jeff Bezos’s newspaper railed against a wealth tax without noting the Amazon founder stands to benefit from its tax policy prescriptions.

This is why he bought the newspaper: not to β€œsave it,” but to use it as his mouthpiece for capitalist propaganda of the most shameless kind. They’re not even pretending to be journalists anymore.

The AI bubble isn’t new β€” Karl Marx explained the mechanisms behind it nearly 150 years ago OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s warning of an AI bubble highlights a deeper economic problem: capitalism is producing more capital than it can profitably invest.

Speculative bubbles are a problem inherent to capitalism.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Great. Still waiting for those $5,000 DOGE checks tho. When will we be getting those? Or Trump’s $2,000 checks that were β€œgoing out in day one”? Are those checks still coming?!?

Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

Pharmland: How a Small-Town Opioid Booster Became a Big-Time Public Health Threat Ralph Abraham’s forgotten record on opioids, Medicaid, race, and self-dealing is far more alarming than his anti-vaccine posturing.

Lamar White, Jr. writes, β€œRalph Abraham’s forgotten record on opioids, Medicaid, race, and self-dealing is far more alarming than his anti-vaccine posturing.”

His clinic/pharmacy doled out opioids like candy-creating addicts in a small town in Louisiana. Now he is in the upper ranks of CDC.

The same people who i used to fight with in the GOP, who wanted to withdraw American troops from everywhere, are now the ones justifying the murder of two survivors.
