has Russia subverted Reagan and the US? the unfettered free market/ war on the working class has lead to undue Russian influence, some would say outright control, of the executive branch (with complete fealty from the other branches) of the US government.

has anyone voiced the thought that perhaps Trump will commission a throne for his inauguration? not outside the realm of possibility.

JPMorgan Chase requires all workers to return to office five days a week Executives acknowledge โ€˜not everyone will agree with this decisionโ€™ as bank calls time on remote and hybrid working

for these corporations, it's all about preventing the office real estate market from collapsing. there's capital there.

Israel closing Dublin embassy over 'anti-Israel policies' Israel will close its embassy in Dublin in light of "the extreme anti-Israel policies of the Irish government," Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has said in a statement.

Imagine living in a country where you can be proud of your government for forcing a genocidal, colonial, murderous state to be compelled to close their embassy. someday I'll make the reverse emigration Not something my grandparents could have ever imagined. #freePalestine www.rte.ie/news/ireland...

I don't care about football, but I'm kind of horrified that they're working with absolute fundamentalist ghouls. I have given up on the NBA due to the silence on the Palestinian genocide and cozy up the fossil fuel States.

One thing I haven't seen addressed as far as the horrible results of the election is that this is a natural consequence of gutting the US educational and welfare support system. it's rendered people incapable of critical thinking and voting in their own interests. idk that seems like a big cause.

None of the conventional explanations for Trumpโ€™s victory stand up to scrutiny | Ben Davis This election has blown a hole in the worldviews of both leftists and centrists. The pandemic may be a more important factor

this is a really compelling analysis of election results from the Guardian. My takeaway is that we need to be building more solidarity to create the society we need. Great to see someone use the data to highlight that. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
