I'm an FDR-era liberal, not a Schumer centrist. Dems need to start talking wealth inequality, Citizens United, money in politics, reining in private equity, & all that other money stuff. Book? Goliath: the 100-year War Between Monopoly Power & Democracy.

I don't see how Tesla's Model 3 can survive if Benz can offer an alternative EV this cheap, with this kind of performance, on top of the 15% tariff that it's charged in the US.

Imagine what this model does to Tesla in Europe, where Benz pays no tariffs.

โ€œI Lost Everythingโ€: Venezuelans Were Rounded Up in a Dramatic Midnight Raid but Never Charged With a Crime Authorities said Tren de Aragua โ€œterroristsโ€ had taken over the building. A ProPublica investigation found little evidence to back up the governmentโ€™s claims. For the first time, the Venezuelans arres...

"300 agents stormed the building, rappelled from a helicopter, knocked down doors and hurled flash-bang grenades. Agents ziptied and detained many US citizens for hours..."

Prosecutors have not filed a *single* criminal charge against anyone arrested that night:

Starbucksโ€™ CEO makes 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista does. It would take less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract.

Baristas at Starbucks corporate stores nationwide are on strike to fight this corporate greed and get the fair contract they deserve.

Chevron plans to grow oil and gas production by 2% to 3% per year through 2030. It currently produces around 4 million barrels of oil equivalent per day.
"There is need for significant investment to close the oil supply gap, equivalent to five Saudi Arabias" over the next decade, Wirth said.

When Big Oil companies claim to be partners in climate solutions, remember: they are lying.

As the climate crisis intensifies, Chevron is once again "increasing investments in oil and gas exploration," Reuters reports.

Young working Australians facing a decade of tax pain The federal budget bottom line is improving, but it will be younger people doing the heavy lifting for the next 10 years.

Young Australians are bearing more and more economic burden because of our failure to index tax brackets. As Ken Henry has put it, this is an act of intergenerational bastardry. We need to index tax brackets, lessen the load on wage earners, and stop giving subsidies to fossil fuel industries.

As @rbreich.bsky.social notes billionaires and their families own X, Paramount, CBS, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, the Washington Post, Amazon, MGM, Fox News, the Wall Street Journal and New York Post, and could soon own Warner Bros and CNN

And they are all Trump supporters

Liking them young... ICK

He's talked about walking through the dressing room at the Miss Teen USA pageant & seeing all these "incredible looking women". That was a tell. He knew it was a teen pageant & he called them women.

The term "underage women" is also a tell. Pay attention to who uses it.
