That's why they push the culture war—to distract from how bad the inequality is. Corps/ultra-rich are raking it in at the expense of the working class. Corps are crushing labor + price gouging consumers while getting tax breaks. They've been waging an undelcared class war on workers for decades.

The top 10% now hold 67.4% of all the wealth in the US. The bottom 50% hold 2.5%.

So self-destructive. If they don’t like tariffs, retailers absolutely should list tariffs as a receipt line. Redirect customer anger from them to the one person responsible for the higher costs. bsky.app/profile/cram...

😳

Nice bridge, and surprisingly retro styling. 'Test loading' is a very old-fashioned idea, and obviously just for show here. Note the heavily stiffened deck, probably the single most important structural feature at such a height (and not 'tested').

I still think it’s backwards that every mass shooter owning an AR-15 is considered a right while their victims’ healthcare is considered a privilege.

This is the new McCarthyism: either you toe the Israeli government line, or you'll be blackballed as "anti-Semitic" or "pro-terrorist". And we *don't even live in Israel*.

Pretty notable that senior Cornell officials refused to comment for the story and the student aka former member of Israeli military intelligence refused to allow the tapes he had made to be heard by reporters (hmmm, maybe because they aren't so damning after all?).

Cornell is cancelling a distinguished professor's classes on Gaza and suspending him because of the complaints of a student who previously served in Israel's military surveillance agency and was literally recording the comments of other students in class and deliberately derailing discussion.

The Coalition handed out $40B in JobKeeper to firms that increased profits, locked in $300B of debt before COVID, and left structural deficits in aged care and NDIS. Now they whine about “spending” while Labor delivers 2 straight surpluses #auspol

Marles welcomes Trump's Gaza plan. What a massive betrayal #auspol

A Friendly Reminder that the facts surrounding Charlie Kirk are very suspicious. A conservative killed another conservative in a conservative college where conservatives were in charge of security after Kirk demanded the release of the Epstein files. According to the Russian media, Trump is to blame

Does something feel off to you too ?

Police should arrest ice agents, hold them 72 hours, minimum charges common nuisance, inciting violence. ICE poses threat to health, safety, or welfare of general public, obstruction of public thoroughfares, also include a range of issues like noise, smoke, and offensive smells disrupting community

How is this not terrorism?

But they don’t want to be called Nazis

via @lincolnsquare.media 🚨 Federal ICE THUGS on top of the Broadview, IL federal building ROOF are SHOOTING non-lethal rounds, including pepper balls and tear gas, at protesters AND the media who pose no threat behind a locked fence. Americans are being shot at for exercising their rights.

To be clear, Republicans actually do need Democrats to help pass the CR and keep the government open. It takes a 60-vote threshold, and they only have 53 without Democrats. Save healthcare: STAND STRONG, DEMOCRATS!

Hmmm 🤔

Chris Uhlmann continues his pathetic descent into unhinged right wing climate denying nut job.

Trump’s planning to use the shutdown to fire employees of agencies that are “not consistent with the president’s priorities.” This is how authoritarian takeovers start—one purge at a time. #ThisIsTrumpsShutdown

John Pilger said that over the 1972-1975 reign of Whitlam, the nation “briefly achieved independence” from US tutelage, and due to its socially progressive reformist drive, the government “became intolerably progressive” for Washington. #auspol

Gov Jay Pritzker, reacting to increased federal deployment in ILL: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get out your cell phones, use your cameras, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Ask for badge numbers. Ask for IDs. Show the world what's happening." Powerful. Spot on.

Stokes is as bad as Murdoch for pushing his own political and business agenda. #auspol

Little tip: if you want to know what is wrong with Australia's tax system, just read the wealth advice column in the AFR: "If you sell a property resulting in surplus cash to invest, there’s no better place than the low/no-tax environment of superannuation."

Full text of the speech that Georgia State Rep. Ruwa Romman — a Palestinian American and Democrat — hopes to give at the DNC tonight, if they’ll let her The text moved me to tears, just reading it www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The last Planned Parenthood clinics in Louisiana will close as of Wednesday. Read more in the @autonomynews.co weekly roundup: www.autonomynews.co/abortion-cli...

Reminder - Richard Marles believes in AUKUS because we have shared values with the US.

Yes, you’re right! This is the same Gina who supported Dutton’s LNP IPAs call to introduce nuclear energy into Australia - a move that would bankrupt Australians Here she is penny-pinching with solar energy while she’s trying to eat our faces off!

Funny, the urgency is in fact manufactured, by the psychos sending troops into American cities.

HAPPENING NOW: Judge Simon holds a conference in Oregon's lawsuit against the Trump admin to block the federalization of the Oregon National Guard. www.courtlistener.com/docket/71481...

One of the most evil men alive, Elon Musk, is on a glide path to becoming King of the World. An avid white supremacist ruling a majority non-white planet. How do you think that will go?

I hope he gets every bit of that $50 million dollars. This is so horrifying. I can’t even imagine what that poor man is going through, along with so many others. This unlawful, unconstitutional gestapo needs to be arrested.

What in the actual fuck @australianlabor.bsky.social @albomp.bsky.social? His position has to be untenable now.

Things have grown so dire in Portland, Oregon that residents may soon face a shortage of artisanal baked goods, almond milk rose petal beetroot lattes, and cold brew mushroom tonic.

Good morning and happy Wednesday to everyone. Dear world, Sorry our president is a bag of dicks. Sincerely, Sane America P.S. Yes, he raped children.

Good morning and happy Sunday to everyone. It's still the Department of Defense. Just like it's still the Gulf of Mexico. Just like the other place is still the Twitter. Just like he’s still in the Epstein files.

Good morning, Ray!☕☀️ Have a great Monday and a fantastic week ahead. Sending positive vibes your way. 🫶

Good morning and happy Monday to everyone. Der Groepenfuehrer says anyone that does not support him is Antifa. I am Antifa. And he's a fucking pedophile.

1. The $20 billion taxpayer-funded rescue package for Argentina, announced last week by the Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, delivers an enormous windfall to hedge fund billionaire Rob Citrone. Citrone has a longstanding personal and professional relationship with Bessent.

I hate that anytime I call I get so mad I start sweating and shaking. My daughter deserves as many rights as Racist Fuckface. And Racist Fuckface--no matter how much I disagree with them--deserves as many rights as my daughter does.

I left a message for @schumer.senate.gov and reached an actual person at @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social demanding that we leave no American behind, so refuse to vote for any bill that denies healthcare to trans Americans. If you've got these two clowns for your Senator as well, call please.

Friendly reminder to all media this week: The GOP controls both houses of Congress. They can keep the government open with their own votes. It’s their own fecklessness and chaos that REQUIRES Dems to vote for this budget.

I don't care what your personal experiences or political stances are -- if you're spending your time intruding on an undergrad class with this petty shit, you should not be in graduate school. Go get therapy.

For non-academics, let me explain that it's rare for a grad student to take an undergrad class, that's it's almost unheard of for a grad student to take an undergrad class in an entirely different field, and that it's totally insane for a grad student to hijack the class with political sea lioning.

Am I reading this correctly? A grad student ... in Computer Science ... enrolled in an undergraduate seminar ... in the American Indian and Indigenous Studies program ... where he ignored the readings and hijacked discussions to talk about Israel and defend its actions in Gaza? What the hell?

The Department of Energy has added these terms to its growing “list of words to avoid” because words are dangerous: climate change green decarbonization emissions energy transition sustainability sustainable clean energy dirty energy carbon footprint CO₂ footprint tax breaks tax credits subsidies

Fox: You’re in for a treat at the grocery story. Grocery beef prices are up about 14% a year and steaks are up 17%. What a treat that is. 🥴
