Check out "COUNTY" on @PBS! The documentary, made by former Bernie organizer Fahim Hamid, explores the County Committee political machine and suppression at the local levels of American democracy. Watch/stream online (free!): pbs.org/show/county/ pbs.org/video/county-k…

Pope Leo this week called universal health coverage a "moral imperative." He also said: “Health cannot be a luxury for the few,” it is “an essential condition for social peace.”

@CodyElijah1 $5 in 1995 adjusted for inflation in 2026 would be $10.50. So...$8 today is actually lower than it should be.

I just had an $8 milkshake and realized the one they get in Pulp Fiction was $5 and that was considered ridiculous in 1995.

@ed_dems Israel would be the easiest policy break to make. No tax on tips? Lol Kamala ran with this and lost, remember? It is not substantive & will do nothing for Dems.

If they want to win in November, imo they need to do 2 bare minimum things: • Break with the Democrats on at least one big major policy, possibly on guns, immigration or crime • And align with one thing that Trump did like no taxes on tips

@WSJ "Y'all remember the financial crash of 2008, all the layoffs & foreclosures? Let's do that again, yeah??"

Breaking: In a major win for big banks, the Trump administration is pushing to loosen the capital restrictions put in place after the 2008 financial crisis on.wsj.com/3Nz7mwi

@axios There was no "squad" in Illinois. False headline framed to antagonize the left.

The "Squad" left faces complete wipeout in Illinois Democratic primaries trib.al/W0gzghs

Humans were never meant to live in Phoenix and it's an abomination that we built a city in that hellfire

@SteveOnSpeed What about working a $120,000 job you love? The premise of your statement based on arbitrarily chosen numbers and scenarios, and doesn't tell us anything.

This may not be popular, but I'm going to say it anyway: I'd much rather work a $120,000/year job I don't like than a $60,000/year job that I love.

“violence against young girls in front of their bound parents” These are the stories Western media avoids telling you.

@jonbrooks Buy? They will mostly just pass them onto their children.

48M boomers+ will pass in the next 20 years Who will buy all their overpriced houses?

@cnni New weapon? No, Israel has been using sexual assault against Palestinians for decades. From 2001: "During their detention, [Palestinian] minors...were exposed to rape, sexual harassment, theft, threats and constant physical & psychological violence." omct.org/en/resources/u…

Israeli settlers have increasingly used violence against Palestinians in a bid to drive them from their homes in the occupied West Bank. But sexual assault appears to be a new weapon in these settlers’ arsenal of intimidation, pointing to a troubling new level of violence. cnn.it/4du8vj6

@Bitcoin_Teddy A 22 year old will probably not be living by themselves in a 1BR. They will probably be living with roomates, and paying $1000-$1300/mo in rent.

Rent for one bedroom is $1,800. That means you need over $4,700 a month just to qualify. Show me the 22 year old making $73,000 a year for a starter apartment. I’ll wait

@andruyeung Question: Empower is owned by "Yazam Inc.", which was also the name of a previous Israeli company. Does this app have any association with that, or is this current company an Israeli one in any way?

My new favorite NYC life hack: take Ubers for ~50% of the price It’s called Empower I took a car from Manhattan to Newark during peak time. It cost $61 (usually >$120) What’s the catch? I looked into it: Drivers pay a monthly subscription fee to be listed on the app. In return empower takes no cut (vs 30% from Uber) Drives set their own prices So legally they are not a ride share biz but a marketplace Founder is a lawyer who interned at the White House. He figured this out! P.s. this is NOT a paid promo. Just had a great experience that is all.

@JohnnyAGI @Nithya_Shrii I would never trust a robot to do dentistry.

@Nithya_Shrii Almost all of these jobs are easily replaceable once consumer robotics come out, which is within 5-7 years. Our current economical model isn't built to sustain AI's ability to replace human skill. Big changes coming soon

10 jobs that are 100% safe from AI: 1. Dentist 2. Construction worker 3. Plumbing 4. Farming 5. Gardening 6. Carpentry 7. Cooking 8. Gardening 9. Welder 10. Electrician Did I miss any?!

@Nithya_Shrii You listed gardening twice...

@Polymarket F NO

JUST IN: Tesla offers temporary free supercharging in Israel.

@OunkaOnX Echoes Teddy Roosevelt who said "The only good Indian is a dead Indian." Shows you who the indigenous and who the colonizers really are.

Interviewer: "Can we live with the Arabs of Israel?" Israeli woman: "No. A good Arab is a dead Arab." That's not fringe. Not an extremist. Just normal. This is what a racist, genocidal society looks like from the inside.

Israeli forces seal Palestinian doors because they open onto streets reserved only for Jews. They block them off, forcing Palestinians to use windows instead. The exact therm used for this is Apartheid.

Driving over a Palestinian girl is not a problem in Israel. Reporting it is. How is this society even considered civil?

@gregorykennedy Rich people aren't leaving. The # of millionaires in NY has increased every year, even after previous tax hikes. They also did the same after Massachusetts raised taxes a few years ago.

I didn’t believe it until I saw the video. The governor of NY is begging rich people to move back to fund her social programs. So, like, I guess there are consequences to over taxation after all?

@ZedSoxs Except Jill Stein got less votes than the amount any Dem candidate lost by. In fact, Jill Stein got less votes than the Libertarian 3rd party [Republican] candidate--which took away more votes from the GOP.

Oh so now you understand why voting for Jill Stein was bad
