Capitalism ruins everything: a system built on exploitation when we could have one built on resilience and abundance. Govt could work for us, to care for us + the Earth we share. Instead, the Epstein class tries to drain us all dry as they fail to slake their insatiable thirst for more more more.

FUN FACT: If no one uses OpenAl, OpenAl dies. The same goes for many Big Tech corporations and their AI platforms. We are the ones that set the expiration dates. Tell your friends. Tell everyone you know.

I feel like it's going to be harder to manufacture consent this time around but it does look like they're getting the old band back together

I remember realizing Americans sided with guns post Columbine and that bent my mind. Access to guns got even worse and the media turned shooters into celebrities and now my kid does active shooter drills in elementary schools. Imagine kids saying "active shooter drill" out loud like it's nothing

“Regime change starts at home.”

In competitive authoritarianism (US right now) there's often a "loyal opposition" that's essential to the regime. They are so wedded to "decorum," they go along with rites & rituals that help regime prop up veneer of normalcy, undermining clear view of regimes actions & aims.

i don't see why they can't do all the track and field events at both olympics. put a coat on

AI users heads up

It's time for a truly massive general strike. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-enough

no one: the president of the united states: they wont stop checking me for brain damage

An absolutely unhinged font choice from the FBI FOIA office here

Stop calling them ICE agents. They’re not actual law enforcement. They are thugs-for-hire recruited from the Proud Boys, J6ers, and others. They are violent predators given the freedom to run wild against the people they have demonized. Every one of them must be brought to justice when this is over.

Using AI is like slathering yourself in hamburger juice so your boss can feed you to his dog

Oh interesting, whose fault is that?

These motherfuckers are going to kill us all

AI data centers produce massive noise pollution and use huge amounts of water. Residents near data centers report that the sound keeps them awake at night and their taps are running dry.

I’m not the same person I was when I planned my meals for the week 🙂‍↔️🙂‍↔️🙂‍↔️

This isn't a memorial, it's a political propaganda event lol, unbelievable its been aired uninterrupted

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?

You're being rage baited into a culture war, because the ruling class knows they’d lose a class war.

In a stunning twist, it turns out the real villains were mega corporations all along

Quick question: what the fuck is anyone talking about anymore

"Charlie Kirk was a provocateur who lived somewhere between the performative dialectic combat of Andrew Breitbart and the hyperbolic hate-mongering of Alex Jones. He appealed to the worst instincts of our American spirit, doing everything in his power to further the culture war for profit."

Lincoln Memorial weigh-ins.

For-profit medical care does not work. Period.

Here’s how fossil fuel pollution causes floods. It’s not that hard to understand, except that fossil fuel invests billions of dollars in making sure people don’t understand. Don’t let yourself be fooled.

Look around man. We’re all in the same class. AND THE 1% is stealing from us. IT’S US VS THEM.

More than 20 years ago, North Carolina legislators passed a law requiring that landslide hazards be mapped across 19 mountain counties. But after only four of those countries were mapped, lawmakers gave in to developers who said it could harm property values. (Published May)

I love the new features how do I shut them off

It's. The. GUNS. First and foremost it's the guns.

Mamdani is going to sell GENDER at the communism shop ("bodega").

I will go to my grave believing that he literally thinks asylum means the person is mentally ill. I really wish the press would ask him what asylum means. They never will.

He steals from the poor and gives to the rich. Stupid bitch.

In the U.S.: ▶️ 4.6 million kids live in a home with an unlocked, loaded gun ▶️ 8 kids a day are unintentionally injured or killed by family fire Asking if there are unlocked guns where kids play saves lives. #AskingSavesKids #ASKDay @EndFamilyFire

I tried. I really tried. But it turns out, I just can't make myself care that a robot car owned by one of the world's largest corporations was vandalized.

Hell is empty, And all the devils are here.

Democrats to Red States: “You know I actually consider myself pretty conservative…” Republicans to Blue States: “You’re not real Americans, you live in a shit hole, and we’re sending in people to pepper spray you.”

I’m not saying you have to be dumb to be confident, but maybe we shouldn’t be so quick to associate confidence with competence

“Ultimately what we are now witnessing is the cumulative effect of greed on mankind. The destruction of nature for profit, the destruction of our democracy to serve the needs of the wealthiest among us.”

“The data center industry is booming all over,” and utilities across the country are polluting more to meet data center energy demands, all when scientists agree that cutting fossil fuel emissions is more urgent than ever.

I reject the centrist narrative of, "we can all agree that cuts needed to be made, but they needed to be made rationally." Who says cuts needed to be made? It is entirely possible a study of a given agency may find that funding needed to be increased.
