Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

Press Conference: Brian Schmetzer post-match vs Inter Miami CF | Leagues Cup Final
YouTube video by Seattle Sounders FC Press Conference: Brian Schmetzer post-match vs Inter Miami CF | Leagues Cup Final

If you have 20 minutes, watch this whole thing. Schmetzer balances humility and pride, provides selfless credit to the players, the organization, and the region, all while honoring the Sounders legends.

I hope Miami fully fucking understands. You. Your fans. Your owners. Your state politics. Are not welcome here. Get the fuck out.

You know you've been conditioned to live in a black & white paradigm when you have no ability to distinguish between

-Marxism
-Communism
-Socialism
-Democratic Socialism

If all those words scream in your brain BAD, but you can't describe their differences, you've been conditioned to feel this way

They were supposed to be deporting “gang members” and “criminals.”

So far, they have kidnapped people working their day jobs and folks lawfully showing up for their immigration court appearances…

It was always a lie.

The biggest danger of Harvard entering an agreeement will not be reputational

(Sure, you can worry about that)

But it will be in giving a green light to any future government to coerce private institutions of higher learning via financial threats, however unlawful

Happy Hitler Shoots Himself In The Head day to all who celebrate. The 80th anniversary. May his ignominious end, with his body doused in petrol and burned by his last remaining loyalists, be a model for all tyrants.

Republicans in Congress are hoping you won’t pay attention to them for the next 36 hours.

Republicans in Congress are hoping you won’t pay attention to them for the next 36 hours.

Why? Because they're pushing through their unpopular plan that gives tax handouts to billionaires and billionaire corporations and leaves everyone else in the dirt.

Having already spent over $7M backing the right-wing candidate in Wisconsin's Supreme Court election, Elon Musk's Super PAC is now offering Wisconsin voters $100 each to sign its petition against "activist judges."

This is what a broken campaign finance system looks like.

so, see how bernie is passing the torch to the younger generation? see how he's creating space for AOC by using his name, then allowing her to lead? see how SOME older people act like caring elders, and others act like half-dead, out-of-touch narcissistic control freaks?

be more like bernie.

The United States of America is the only major country on earth that does not guarantee health care as a human right.

The result: We rank dead last among wealthy nations in life expectancy.

We must end that international embarrassment.

Yes. We need Medicare for All.

Watching Putin’s little stooges try to bully Zelenskyy in our goddamned White House is pretty repulsive.

813 US billionaires held a record $6.72 trillion in wealth at the end of 2024.

The bottom 50% of Americans held roughly $3.9 trillion in wealth.

When 813 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Matt Doyle with a really nice piece urging people to support their local soccer news outlets. He’s 100% spot-on.

Sounders fans, for us that’s largely Sounder at Heart. Jeremiah took a brave leap and went for it, and I think we can and should subscribe. I do and I never regret it.

This is a very helpful clarification. It’s hard to know for sure, since there is very little else to go on beyond Stephen Miller looking, acting , and talking like a blood sucking monster.

World’s top 1% own more wealth than 95% of humanity, as “the shadow of global oligarchy hangs over UN General Assembly,” says Oxfam | Oxfam International

The world’s richest 1% have more wealth than the bottom 95% put together, according to Oxfam.

There is no moral justification for this extraordinary level of inequality.

It's distorting politics, rigging our markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people.

A few updates from La Resistencia, connected to the Northwest Detention Center here - a particularly egregious immigrant detention center located in Tacoma, WA.

Another hunger strike is underway, involving 40-50 people. They are asking for basic humane conditions.
