Americans’ electric bills are increasing at twice the rate of inflation as utilities squeeze their customers. James Baratta reveals the backroom deals and corporate collusion behind rate hikes: trib.al/rwEVzEr

Trump is summarily executing people suspected of being drug dealers, without providing any proof. How close are we to Trump ordering the execution of Americans he considers opponents? https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-illegal-executions

The answer to all this capitalist shit is socialism. Marxism, but y’all aren’t serious people so you do this revisionist shit instead. “We can save the democrat party.” 🙄 I’m tired of you mfs. You know that, right?

You can write as many perfectly woven thought pieces on the incredible fringe use cases for AI as you want, it doesn’t change the fact this is a product that very few people actually want or need. It’s purely a speculative asset. A phantom idea that billionaires “believe” will be good, but is crap.

hmmm, we sure we know who’s bad faith in this exchange?

It's only a matter of time before humanities departments will be forced to accept AI-authored assignments, as part of revised university policy to cooperate with these billionaires. It's already happening, and our response needs to be decisive. Because our students' ability to *think* is at stake.

America is a prison state, and many inmates are forced to perform slave labor without the possibility of parole or liberation

As absurd as 50 year mortgages are, 30 year mortgages still suck, they’re just normalized predatory lending scams. As the median homebuyer age creeps up, few people will own their own home before they retire. Life under capitalism is a debt trap and the American dream is dead.

Hidden homelessness in the US hides millions living in unstable, unsafe conditions – unseen in official counts – driven by rising rents, stagnant wages & inadequate government support. By Ali Ziraatpishe @presstv.bsky.social www.presstv.ir/Detail/2025/...

Americans who saw through the propaganda for war in the middle east but now fully buy into it for regime change in Venezuela are the weirdest. That’s like managing to pull your head out of your ass, taking a deep breath, and then shoving it right back in there.

rich dudes got freakier after butlers fell out of fashion, like say what you will about having domestic servants but clearly it was some sort of moderating force on old rich dudes having a fancy man follow you around saying shit like "oh dear sir, that wouldn't be very becoming"

I try to avoid binary thinking, but... There are only two types of people in the world. "I had to suffer, so should they." Or "I had to suffer, and I will work to help others so they don't have to."

People need to accept the fact that democracy can never exist while Billionaires control all the methods of mass communication.

They lie 110% of the time EVERYTHING THE EMPIRE, ITS MEDIA, ITS ADMINISTRATORS, ITS INSTITUTIONS SAY, ITS VASSALS, COLONIES & AGENTS SAY IS A LIE, AND IN ADDITION, EVIL

How much money must you have earned to have paid “millions” in taxes? Follow up question, how have you earned enough to pay millions in taxes, but somehow a few grand extra has ruined your retirement plans?

The era we are living in offers too many illustrations of greed, narcissism, and hatefulness. But I still believe we can recommit ourselves to serving the common good of all Americans. [Artwork by Jennifer Bloomer]

If you are someone — citizen, scholars, journalist, activist, etc — fighting against AI data center development anywhere in Canada, can you ping me? Would like to coordinate something…

We’re up! We do billboards and sell tee shirts to fund them. t.co/NrHYKVmNPl

This is narcissism masquerading as philosophy — the technophile elite are not recognizing a new soul in AI, they're falling in love with their creation, staring at their own reflection in a digital pool. It is the ultimate in solipsism and has its roots in a pathological fear and denial of death.

This is straight-up supervillain behavior

American voters need to fucking grow up. No candidate handpicked by the dictatorship of capital is going to save you. The rot isn’t in the personalities—it’s in the capitalist system that treats human beings as collateral for profit. Until that changes, nothing else will.

Class traitors are the empire’s favorite tools—selling out their own people for scraps while helping capital tighten the noose. They don’t just betray us; they sabotage any hope of collective power. I'm sick of it.

Great news! Congratulations Brian

The vicious cycle of monopolization: 1) Corporations argue that their growth is just part of the free market. 2) Use their monopoly power to gouge consumers. 3) Take a portion of their profits to make political donations. 4) Lobby against antitrust enforcement. 5) Repeat.

You Don't Hate The Mass Media Enough The western press see the killing of Palestinians as such a baseline norm that Israel can massacre dozens of people in Gaza and they’ll go, “Gosh I sure hope this doesn’t lead to any violations of the ceasefire!” www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/you-dont-h...

This isn’t an “administration”! It’s a REGIME. That isn’t a Congress. It’s a REGIME. That isn’t a SCOTUS. It’s a REGIME: This isn’t a “democracy”. It’s an AUTHORITARIAN REGIME. Changing the POTUS is meaningless. It’s just a figurehead. The right wing grooms them well for their role.

Capitalism prospers by exploiting nature, either as an “inexhaustible” supply of resources to produce commodities, or as a waste dump. Socialism puts people and the planet over capitalist exploitation and expropriation. #socialistsunday

My crystal ball says that if any high profile person goes down because of the Epstein files, it will be the already shamed Bill Clinton. But more so, my crystal ball says that NO high profile people will go down & that this effort has been a huge waste of time that will bring no justice victims.

the US hates Venezuela for the same reason we hate Cuba and it's because we think that country belongs to us, in the neocolonial economic extraction and policy alignment way, and that they defy us and yet exist feels like a violent assault to the American sensibility, we are the aggressor-as-victim

One of the reasons why things keep getting worse is because a lot of people find it convenient to deny reality and insist that things are better than they actually are. If you can't generate an accurate analysis of the problem, you'll never come to a solution that meets the moment.

"Our default, too often, are marches and rallies. Yes, these can be symbolically powerful, but unless they’re part of a broader strategy to shift power — by withdrawing cooperation, applying economic pressure and disrupting key functions — they rarely force change on their own."

NO MORE BILLIONAIRES ENFORCE MONOPOLY LAWS
