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.

On the eve of his second election — on October 31, 1936 — FDR delivered his coup de grace, explaining the stakes in his fight with the moneyed interests.

Today’s economic royalists are backing Trump, and the fight is much the same.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Tens of Thousands of White-Collar Jobs Are Disappearing as AI Starts to Bite Companies ranging from Amazon to Target are sending workers into an unwelcoming market.

We cannot allow AI and robotics to simply wipe out millions of decent-paying jobs.

This new technology must benefit workers — not just Elon Musk, Sam Altman, and the other tech billionaires and CEOs of large corporations.

Also, I shouldn't *assume* anything I know ;) But its an odd coincidence if it's a rando botnet also running at that scale today.

I mean normally I wouldn't post an address like this, but that address is literally the most popular site on the internet right now. Should the people living there be alerted?

🚨 There's an enormous amount of traffic at a .su domain (old Soviet Union TLD), per #Cloudflare Radar. It's outranking every other big domain out there (#Google, #Microsoft, #Facebook, etc.) I assume this is related to a botnet controller and the #Azure outage...

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

The additional domain overload [dot] su now too. h/t @briankrebs.infosec.exchange.ap.brid.gy - this is the Aisuru botnet taking different forms. krebsonsecurity.com/2025/10/aisu...

America is what we in the biz call “an awful country”

Anyway if you want a cat I’d recommend getting a goofy little cat at the shelter, then keeping them safely inside and pampered for the rest of their lives.

You’ll be amazed at how much they manage to glow up, in my experience. bsky.app/profile/skwi...

Happy National Cat Day. Squeaky’s celebrating her day by thinking of you all with pride and love and wishing you all well.

🙌 My request for the 14emeliaterracewestroxburyma02132 domain associated with the Aisuru #botnet to be terminated has been granted.

This was the most visited domain on the Internet yesterday, far above #Google, #Facebook, #Microsoft, #Apple, and #Amazon.

thanks again to @briankrebs.infosec.exchange.ap.brid.gy for the reports on Aisuru. Working on overload [.] su now!
