Just stop being greedy and the customers will come

"what changed in this country?" Milton Friedman. Shareholder driven capitalism. The complete financialization of corporate America.

This is an absolute travesty. If we lose our parks and forests we are NEVER getting them back!

how can we say we live in a representative democracy when every day our leaders actively choose to not represent us

Reminder: if voting requires a $165 passport, that’s a poll tax. We made those unconstitutional in 1964.

Foreign companies are now giving Trump donations for his ballroom at the White House. And in return at least one got a break on tariffs. Not only is his ballroom a ridiculous distraction, it's just another way for big businesses to curry favor with a blatantly corrupt administration.

In energy-rich West Virginia, utility bills are now often exceeding rent and mortgage payments. One couple's utility payment reached $1,000 a month this winter, eclipsing their $798 mortgage. Another resident's utility bill was $940 this winter, more than her paycheck.

🚨BREAKING: Former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio is urging MAGA to give Harmeet Dhillon “a fair shot” if she is elevated to a more powerful role within the Department of Justice. democracydocket.com/news-alerts/fo…

This is what Orbán's private estate looks like: a building area of ​​over 10,000 square meters, underground parking exceeding 1,000 square meters, underground tunnels, two swimming pools, a two-story library with an atrium, a "path of reflection," a private chapel, and a mini-zoo with exotic zebras and ostriches. This estate is maintained at the state's expense, as Orbán has transferred it to Hungary's national balance sheet as a "historical property." It's no wonder he clings to power in this way. t.me/MirovichMedia/…

At this point, it's abundantly clear that voters want Dems to distance themselves from Israel, and that doing so would actually help them with elections. That they still won't is a testament to the Israel lobby's influence, which deserves much more attention.

“My law firm only has 60 lawyers, but it’s currently litigating 89 voting and election cases — a number that motivates me to continue fighting Trump’s attacks on democracy,” Marc Elias writes. “He wants us to think we can’t stop him. But we can and we must. Because we’ll lose if we stop.” democracydocket.com/opinion/i-have…

A new report shows that the financial pledges that major corporations made to Black nonprofits during the 2020 'racial reckoning' evaporated quickly — and for some, never materialized whatimreading.net/p/financial-pr…

I wish more Democrats would run on defending the working class from predatory capitalism like this. Bricking a functional older Kindle because Amazon couldn't find a way to put ads on them.

In another episode of “these motherfuckers don’t give a shit about you why do you put them in office to represent you?!” #lalege

Just a reminder that even though Marjorie Taylor Greene is absolutely correct that trump is unfit to hold office, she is a huge part of the reason he got back into office in the first place. Do not let these people rewrite history.

‼️Ukrainian strikes on Russia will only decrease if Russia stops its attacks on Ukraine. If we don’t strike back in their face, they’ll keep hitting us, - the Ukrainian president said on Thursday, April 9. ZELENSKYY: Fewer strikes on Ukrainian energy will mean fewer strikes on Russian energy. But controlling the volumes is tough, so I think - that's why I think a ceasefire makes sense, or at least they don't hit our energy, we don't hit theirs. Fair, right? I think so, yes. But comparing volumes today is hard. They said we inflicted more losses on them today than they did on us. As of today. I'm sorry, but maybe let's look back at all the years of war? We can't compare volumes. They've struck us far more, killed our people, killed far more of our civilians. JOURNALIST: What if partners demand we stop these strikes? ZELENSKYY: Look, we use our weapons, we're defending ourselves. If we don’t strike back in their face, they’ll keep hitting us - and they won’t respect us or understand what war truly means. So we have to respond. We answer their attacks, we'll do as much as our money and weapons allow, we'll mirror everything, all fair and square.

BREAKING: Epstein survivors are not buying Melania’s comments. In a statement they say survivors “have already shown extraordinary courage by coming forward, filing reports, and giving testimony. Asking more of them now is a deflection of responsibility, not justice. First Lady Melania Trump is now shifting the burden onto survivors under politicized conditions that protect those with power… It also diverts attention from Pam Bondi.”

It's all falling apart for OpenAI. Why? Because none of their plans have ever been real. They are a company that makes money from hype and naive venture capitalists.
