Thoughts on poverty for #SocialistSunday... #TaxTheRichFFS #socialism #fairness #justice

Everything must change.

Sean Hannity, the Fred Flintstone of shameless propaganda, has declared he will no longer be a Catholic because he worships Donald Trump—and the money it brings in—more. Sean had to declare publicly that he will no longer be following his faith—because how else would anyone be able to tell?

Imagine the nation is a house. In his first year, 47 removed the wiring, plumbing and insulation and sold it. Looks fine, doesn't work. In his second year, he broke all the windows, removed the door, painted graffiti on the house, lawn and street, and left paint and dog poop on other lawns.

How to stop fascism and the far right. In a nutshell: offer voters a non-establishment eco-left alternative that *genuinely* stands for people and planet. It's not complicated.

A 93% spike isn’t a ‘trend’ - it’s a stick-up. Gas is a ransom. Carbon is a conflict mineral. Fossil fuels are war. Renewables are the only real declaration of independence. Stop being vassal states. Move decisively to cut the cord.

One of Aotearoa New Zealand's greatest gifts to the world has been pioneering rodent eradication technology on islands. The brodifacoum used for this project was manufactured in Whanganui. Conservation can be an export industry! Fund it! 🌏 oceanographicmagazine.com/news/rat-era...

@timfullerton.bsky.social I saw Michael Foster's post that they are working with you on US media. I suggested you have a feed reader in the individual apps you are building, so I am saying the same to you. I think they are pretty light code-wise, but I'm not a coder.

5/5. For Vance, the task of a pope should be to stick to "morality," in the special propagandistic sense of trotting out religious-sounding clichés to justify the status quo on behalf of the powerful and wealthy.

Since Trump took office, 365 clean energy projects have been canceled, delayed, or are laying off staff.

This is so good!

How about a shorter list DEMOCRAT REPUBLICAN Populist Elitist Equality Hierarchy Diversity Conformity Protection Exposure Public good. Privatization Community Money Environment Profit

Spoiler: most of the jobs were in caregiving positions in health care, which are often low-paying and quite arduous

DOJ said Epstein files contain Photos and videos of Torture and ritualistic murder of Children We need a judge to start throwing DOJ people in jail for contempt until someone releases those files to the public.

So it's good that a lot more people will believe the assassination was fake, but reminder: it's still bad that people trust Tucker Carlson.

Inevitability works both ways. Say things like When we all have healthcare... When we have UBI*... When we tax the wealthy appropriately... When corps no longer own houses... When schools are properly funded... When laws are enforced... When powerful men go to jail... *universal basic income

No matter how bad he gets and no matter what he does, Republicans in Congress will never stand up to him or speak out because some agree with him on everything and the rest are spineless cowards.

Help Needed— Comments (Shared via DM) There is a lot going on— they are trying to distract us. This is a Government-wide issue related to Reduction In Force (RIF). Comments due by 05/04/2026 (only 243 so far— we need many more): This is pretty dense reading so I will summarize issues:

Every sensible government will spend the coming months accelerating the deployment of solar, batteries, heat pumps, and EVs, especially for lower income households. It’ll be a hell of a lot cheaper in the long run than subsidising fossil fuels the next time prices spike, which they will.

Many are calling for it‼️ 25th Amendment has to be initiated by the VP and Cabinet. Congress cannot.

You know what really freaked out the rich during the Vietnam era? Around 1969-70, something like 65 banks were set with explosives. The edifices of capitalism. And AFAIK there were no people being imprisoned without due process inside the banks.

Stop giving Tucker Carlson oxygen. He wants to run for president. He is counting on the novelty of him talking sense to give him free publicity. He is positioning himself to be the answer for 47 supporters who are looking for a new familiar face. Don't help.

Thanks Mitch #McConnell

"Trump wants to increase the defense budget by nearly 50% without any review of what the money is for; this is strategic nonsense, and has to be understood as a payoff for the men who, as he imagines, will help him install a dictatorship." Emergency, break glass

no one in a position of power, in or out of government, really wants to deal with the fact that we have a demented chief executive, because if they acknowledged that, they'd feel obligated to do something about it and they don't want to risk their own careers or status doing something about it

A War Fighter who follows an illegal order is a War Criminal. If it comes down to who’s taking the blame, either Hegseth or Trump will throw you under bus. They will call you a patriot but they look at you as a mark. You are dispensable to them.

#McConnell has been in the senate since Reagan. He saw the corruption going on and jumped in. He even did a deal with a Russian oligarch. Kentucky has continued to struggle while he lined his pockets. Maybe it's no surprise Mitch doesn't care about the rest of us either.

Trump wants to build a ballroom—I want to build more affordable housing, and only one of us sits on the Appropriations Committee. His budget is going right in the trash as far as I’m concerned.

Cogent. Concise. Correct.

PICKLES IS MISSING UPTOWN: last seen at 110th and Broadway. He's 40 pounds and chipped: 985141004122410. If you've seen or found him please call 888-466-3242 and PLEASE RT PICKLES!

Vertical morality. Versus horizontal morality.

Crazy to think it would only take like 10 Republicans to flip to impeach Trump. And yet they are too cowardly even though this war is unpopular with 75% of the country. 🇺🇸 Never vote Republican again. Ever.

Who is suing the government to protect public land?

Now make sure no one gets through the nomination process!

This is the updated non-Substack boycott guide. I will keep it updated as I update the full guide. buymeacoffee.com/psychopete/psycho-pete-living

And he's working on permanent environmental damage. Old growth trees. Pristine land. Endangered species.

Mamdani said he wants to close Riker's Island. They should convert that to 47's presidential library. I'm in favor of removing all trace of his existence except for this. There needs to be a library to bear witness.

We really can have nice things.

City population 110,000 No Kings turnout. 10,000 Not bad. The next cities over had their own protests.

I went to my local No Kings protest. I can never get a good crowd count because the crowd goes around a corner and out of sight, but it sure looked big.

Trump pardoned 77 people this week that stole from Medicare. This flew under the radar. I believe Trump is selling pardons which is enough to send Trump away.
