"The poverty of our century is unlike that of any other. It is not, as poverty was before, the result of natural scar-city, but of a set of priorities imposed upon the rest of the world by the rich. Consequently, the modern poor are not pitied... but written off as trash.”

-John Berger

I hope this shit show in America makes people realize that Trump and other politicians are just pawns in a chess game played entirely by the ultra wealthy.

The game is rigged against us. The only way to win is to quit playing.

On, for sure.

Keep it up, brother. You’re doing good work.

A MAGA person who included a statement about people blocking them for educating about Trump has blocked me instead. How the tables have turned.

I never said it was a cut for high income earners, I know it phases out at higher income levels.

You didn’t address the other claims I made about eroding workers rights

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

Also, the ‘No Tax on Tips and Overtime’ is misleading as the are still included in payroll tax. The bill allows workers to deduct up to $12,500 from their federal tax burden, which is less than the standard deduction of $31,000 for joint filers and $23,000 for head of household

47 ways Trump has made life less affordable in the last year In the first year of his second term, President Trump has actively made life less affordable for working people. Affordability has two sides—prices and pay. While public debate fixates on rising costs...

I did. It was in the report from the Economic Policy Institute that I linked. Can you provide evidence of the things you claimed that aren’t screenshots from Fox?

Here, I’ll link the study again.

Feel free to actually read it.

He’s a stooge. Part of the party’s rot that needs to be cut out for good.

Marx warned us about this.

Workforce health is so much more than wages. This administration has done significant damage to to workers rights as well as creating an uncertain job market with tariffs. Not to mention gutting workplace safety regulations.

It’s legit. I am genuinely curious.

The board of peace is nothing more than a capitalist power grab to build luxury hotels on the graves of Palestinians

Police protect the interests of capital at the expense of the workers.

Can I ask why you support this administration?

"They Just Need to Get a Job" by Mary Brosnahan: 9780807006979 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books “Readers will come away infuriated, with a greater understanding of the systemic causes of homelessness, and with more compassion for their homeless neighbors. Essential reading for any community...

Please read if you'd like. Homelessness is not inevitable, it is manufactured. The capitalist class created a system that keeps workers on the brink of losing everything to keep them from fighting back.

Dems have been pushing the Overton Window to the right for decades. Newsom's antics are just a furthering of that aim.

I really should stop wasting my time arguing with bootlickers.

Neat? Thanks for the pictures.

Governments are corrupt, yes. Do you extend the same criticisms to the current federal administration? Millions missing from White House ballroom reno, the feds et all protecting pedophiles and child traffickers, take your pick.

At least be consistent in your opinions.

CPI says otherwise, but go ahead.

👍

I mean, I agree with you, Obama is a war criminal. That being said, the President cannot unilaterally release information during an ongoing investigation with the DOJ. There is a separation there for a reason. Trump ended the investigation in 2025 so congress forced the release of the files.

Are centrists comparing generic late stage capitalism with a global child sex trafficking ring? The 'both sides bad' folks are losing it.

Absolutely wild for a South African immigrant to neglect to mention the literal SLAVE workforce that built America and continue to contribute to American culture daily.

Massie is all bark and no bite. Name names, read the files.

Where are some other #leftist folks to follow? I'm new here

Slavery has always been legal in the US thanks to the punitive exception in the 13th amendment. Makes you wonder why DHS is building/buying so many warehouses.

Homeland Security reportedly sent hundreds of subpoenas seeking to unmask anti-ICE accounts | TechCrunch The Department of Homeland Security has been increasing pressure on tech companies to identify the owners of accounts that criticize ICE.
