“Game on”?! WARS ARE NOT GAMES. PEOPLE DIE.

Senator Alex Padilla is forcibly removed from Homeland Secretary Kristi Noem's press conference in LA. "Hands off!," Padilla can be heard yelling.

I remember during the pandemic these Nazi assholes were bitching because they HAD to wear masks.

I don’t care if you’re a Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, or Green, we all must come together and agree that the federal government shouldn’t be creating a database to surveil Americans.

Ok this is genuinely funny

The protests are working.

@SecRubio @IntlCrimCourt Fuck you, you piss ant Nazi.

The @IntlCrimCourt’s baseless and politicized targeting of America and our close ally Israel must end. Today, I have sanctioned four ICC judges for infringing on U.S. and Israeli sovereignty – two who authorized the ICC’s baseless investigation into U.S. personnel in Afghanistan and two who authorized the ICC’s illegitimate arrest warrants targeting @IsraeliPM Netanyahu and former Defense Minister @YoavGallant. We call on our allies to stand with us against this disgraceful attack.

Starbucks repeatedly has followed the counsel of its attorneys, and it repeatedly has lost in court. If the Department of Labor enforced its reporting rules, union busting employers would have less incentive to follow bad advice. prospect.org/justice/2023-1…

In case you were wondering whether the Big 3 automakers can afford to pay their workers more: Combined profits at the Big 3 are up 92% over the decade. This year they've paid out $14 billion in dividends and buybacks. Damn right they have the means to pay workers a fair share.

Workers sacrifice a great deal by going on strike. But they are doing it to secure the long-term gains that they deserve.

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office. 2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor. 3) Donors make a huge profit. 4) Repeat. For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

Today marks the 50th anniversary of the U.S.-backed coup in Chile that overthrew Salvador Allende and inaugurated almost two decades of brutal military rule under Augusto Pinochet. Celebrated Chilean American writer Ariel Dorfman examines the long shadow of the coup today.

If you want to know why people have lost faith in capitalism, this might help

The reason climate deniers get so petulant when confronted with the truth is because it reminds them how selfish and petty and ignorant they are

Postmidnight flows appear to be triggered by the same mechanism that drives more frequently observed evening flows. @AGU_Eos eos.org/research-spotl…

The Fed is just absolutely screaming the quiet part and yet every millionaire pundit in the Acela Corridor is still asking "why oh why are Americans so unhappy with the economy?"

The state continues to double down and side with the fossil fuel industry while increasing punishment for climate activists. This is a path to irreversible planetary destruction and it leaves us no choice but to escalate. Few realize it yet but this is a real war, a corporate war

Communities must be empowered to monitor environmental toxins, so that citizens can be informed and protect their communities against industries that profit at the expense of life. ProgCode's EnviroTrack project can be part of the solution. truthout.org/articles/oil-r…
