@AmicusLegis @SamanthaTaghoy Our current problem with capitalism is that almost all of those who’ve read the Wealth of Nations failed to read the other half of Adam Smith’s discerning work about capitalism, which is the essential A Theory of Moral Sentiments.

it's like we're wired to capitalize ourselves into extinction.
Samantha Smith@SamanthaTaghoy
“Water, soil, and oxygen should not be infinitely accessible. They are assets that should be included in global economic balance sheets.” This is not satire. The World Economic Forum wants to monetise breathing.

@NastyOldWomynII @SamanthaTaghoy i guess. i don't really trust it, though, because our capitalism does that with everything, not just natural resources, but also public infrastructure, and then seeks to extract from those things as well.
English
@AmicusLegis @SamanthaTaghoy No, she’s talking about systemic “privatization of profits/socialization of losses” by capitalists, in which society bears the costs, bc no financial value is attributed beforehand to our natural resources that capitalists despoil and society is forced to clean up, IF possible.

@glcarlstrom @NastyOldWomynII sounds like TACO to me, and it'll all fall apart as soon as it suits whatever pump-and-dump scheme trump's running needs it to.

So if you're keeping score at home, the ceasefire includes Lebanon but also doesn't include Lebanon, America has agreed to all of Iran's demands and Iran has agreed to all of America's demands, America will recognize Iran's right to enrichment and also insist on zero enrichment, Hormuz is completely open but also Hormuz is subject to unclear limitations...
There are a lot of confident predictions about a deal that is still unclear and unfinished
Both sides are scrambling to portray this as a war-ending victory when there's a decent chance that the war hasn't even ended

@NastyOldWomynII @SamanthaTaghoy and in a corporate world in which law has enshrined greed as an ethical, if not moral, imperative, that's exactly how that will be interpreted in boardrooms around the world.

@NastyOldWomynII @SamanthaTaghoy i listened to the whole clip, i didn't hunt down the whole video. it's nuanced, and there's acknowledgment of the unsustainable nature of the current state, but i'm not hearing the opposite to what the OP condensed from the clip.

Once a pussy ass bitch, always a pussy ass bitch @PeteHegseth
Mike Young@micyoung75
This is the part that keeps getting buried under the raw numbers. Hegseth spent months pressuring Army Secretary Dan Driscoll to remove four decorated colonels from the one-star promotion list. Two Black men. Two women. Driscoll refused, because their records demanded it. So Hegseth pulled their names himself… which legal experts say he likely had no authority to do. The defense secretary is supposed to approve or reject the entire list, precisely to prevent this kind of targeted discrimination. Then Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George - the Army’s top officer - asked to meet with Hegseth to discuss the blocked promotions. Hegseth refused to meet. Refused to discuss his decisions at all. Then he fired George. Whose term wasn’t supposed to end until September 2027. Nine U.S. officials across all four branches confirmed the NBC reporting. “There is not a single service that has been immune,” one said. The officers’ attributes being cited for removal include past support for Covid vaccine mandates… and association with Mark Milley. The Pentagon’s response to every outlet that asked: “fake news.” They didn’t dispute a single name.

If he wants he will absolutely get away with it. Even fired generals aren’t sounding enough of an alarm, this isn’t the time for constrained dignity.
Chris Murphy 🟧@ChrisMurphyCT
If I were in Trump's Cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment. This is completely, utterly unhinged. He's already killed thousands. He's going to kill thousands more.

@LibyaLiberty "this isn't the time for constrained dignity" is so incredibly apt, i hope it doesn't become our epitaph.
English
@Wilson__Valdez @NastyOldWomynII she's not wrong, though. and it's well past overdue for dems to turn their backs on aipac.
building a coalition that matters requires doing the hard work, and rejecting out of hand the critics we have in our own house is very much avoiding the hard work.
English
This is the Track AIPAC lady, btw. Going after the the legit most popular politician in our country. Because they are anti-Dem first and foremost.
The unfortunate reality is, these people are just as much enemies to our coalition as Republicans. They both have it as their main goal to make Dems lose.
Cory Archibald@CMArchibald
Hey, whoever is running the thie account, I need you to knock this shit off. Stop nostalgiaposting for the bygone days of indiscriminate drone strikes and persecuting whistleblowers that paved the way for the exact moment we are in. FFS, one of the last things Obama did was expand the surveillance powers of the presidency literally days before Trump was sworn in. Stop pretending it was bunny rabbits and rainbows and get real about the fascist threat we're facing now.

@animalologist @Pattern_Sensor most men are too emotional and unregulated to understand women. we've created requirements for ourselves, then deluded ourselves that women made them, when really we build our own cages.
tl;dr: most of us are too mired in our own misogyny to answer this thoughtfully.

More than 400 hospitals across the U.S. are at high risk of closing or cutting services because of the Medicaid cuts in President Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” according to an analysis from the progressive watchdog group Public Citizen.
