Today in capitalism: an early exposure to the glamourous beauty industry, with its toxic chemicals certainly adapted to the delicate skin of an 8 year old. How nice we treat our princesses.

I am joining this. We can no longer afford to be complacent in the face of the threat. We have to take back our lives and livelihoods. #diem25

Today in capitalism: tiny household appliances for the consumers of the future. Nothing says childhood awe and wonder like loading a dishwasher or waiting for an ultraprocessed burger prepared in a microwave. Right?

This past year alone, the 10 richest people in the U.S. got nearly $700 billion wealthier. Meanwhile, over 40% of the population is now poor or low-income. The Trump administration is accelerating an American oligarchy that’s been getting worse for decades. THREAD 🧵

You know what this result tells us? It says: go to the people, to the suffering, hard working majority and dare to be bold in the face of oligarchs who just got too used to shape our world to their liking. Mamdani won despite the billionaires. It is possible!

If you're an author and think you might be able to register a claim as part of the lawsuit against #Anthropic for feeding its genAI with your books, Conor Kostick of the Irish Writers Union has an article that talks you through the process. irishwritersunion.org/irish-writer...

The combined wealth of the 10 richest people in America jumped $698 billion over the past year. This figure was supercharged by Donald Trump’s tax giveaways to his fellow billionaires. www.thedailybeast.com/wealth-of-am...

I am 100% sure, if we invested this much money into tackling the ecological collapse we are facing, we would have done it 20 years ago...

Microsoft is now warning investors about the pushback against its massive data centers. The tech giant's latest earnings reports says: “We also face community opposition, local moratoriums and hyper-local dissent that may impede or delay infrastructure development."

Happy Halloween

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Letters from the frontline: Care workers are underpaid, overworked, undervalued On the International Day of Care and Support, we're hearing from Ana, care worker from Spain. She earns less than minimum wage, works long hours, faces high risks, sacrifices her family life. Is this what she deserves?

In these darkening times, her victory reminds us something crucial: that we need to be progressive and we can convince people that populist rightwing facism is not the only option they have.

The Indigenous Kichwa People of Sarayaku have always known that their forest is a living, intelligent being. Western science is finally starting to catch up.

Scary halloween stuff just doesnt work here...Shadows are hiding, light is pervasive and there is too much blue sky...it just looks like the skeleton is on his annual holiday sunbathing. #halloween

"The ongoing suffering of the Palestinians rarely appears in the mainstream U.S. media. It is absolutely essential that people here, the source of Israel’s arsenal, have access to the full breadth of debate on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict."

Is there anything not destroyed by capitalism of the masses?

📢 And if you want to know who this #Labour govt will NOT be taxing more in the upcoming budget, this excellent report from @equalitytrust.bsky.social 🔽 will tell you... equalitytrust.org.uk/evidence-bas...

BREAKING: Right to protest is under sustained attack in the west, report finds Counter-terror laws being ‘weaponised’ against pro-Palestine groups in UK, US, France and Germany, says International Federation for Human Rights www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

Glaring example of lack of democratic process when it comes to AI.

@vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu A 1-year delay of the EU Deforestation Law #EUDR means 31,536,000 more trees lost- harming forests, people, and the climate, damaging investments and innovation and destroying the EU’s credibility. #StopVonDelaying. Keep your promises: fully implement the law as planned.

In these times of cruel lack of empathy, a must watch, a window of understanding, something to make us face our hypocricies.

They want us to turn into meat heads uncapable of even reading a document because it is just too long, so they can replace us all with mediocre AI.

Arent't they declaring themselves FA, by going after AntiFA??? #Antifa

And one day we will be alone with our AI gadgets and self-driving cars. We will have traded them with birds and everything else that really matters to our hearts.

Does genocide have a new name? Are we being naive again? Believing that these people who call war 'peace' will really deliver piece??

Another end of the world is possible.

In other words, they dont want to have anybody who questions things.

They had names, they smiled and extend their arms and tiny hands towards the world. They were just kids. Is there anyhing more cruel than harming defenseless creatures??

Watch JO laying out there what is really going on here while we watch a genocide unfolding.

Very important findings. These results show that no one escapes #PFAS contamination & that a comprehensive ban is long overdue. It's time to stand up to the #ForeverChemicals industry lobby. Read more here: corporateeurope.org/en/chemical-... Take action today: action.wemove.eu/sign/2024-01...

The #foreverlobbyingproject was nominated for the Daphne Caruana Galizia Prize of the European Parliament! 🥂 It was an honour to be a part of this project, congrats to @stephanehorel.bsky.social and everyone involved.

They laid there, silent, witnesses to the unbound cruelty of man. An olive tree takes about 40 years to mature. It can leave up to 2000 years. Only evil can do this. Unspeakable evil.

More than 800,000 Uber and Lyft drivers in California will be able to unionize under a bill that has now been signed into law. The law also requires the corporate giants to bargain with these workers in good faith.

The top 1% in the US have now a record $52 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% have about $4 trillion.

The Tetris Effect shows how repetition shapes thoughts, dreams, and mental imagery. Brain scans link it to visual processing and memory. Even people with amnesia dreamed of falling blocks after playing, despite not recalling the game. Fit the pieces together ➡️ w.wiki/PEv
