We really do need to take a knee for a decade or so.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere. It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

Management in general throughout the country actually

“Runs”

If they didn’t get it organically, they would have manufactured it. This is how they move rational people to irrational behavior.

OH: if vaccines caused autism, we’d have way more trains in the United States

Trump 2024 campaign: “I’m not going to start wars, I’m going to stop wars.” Trump 2025: “Department of War.”

How do our representatives miss the absolutely low hanging fruit in these moments of saying: “Are you suggesting you’re not of sound mind or body to remember what you said on camera or that you were not then when you spoke?” Like, the bobber is dunking, yank that fucker up.

They aren’t uneducated, they’re nefarious. They are this thirsty for control.

It’s almost like the UK & US have the same mgmt?

Watching local news on WHITE PEOPLE jumping on top & off the driverless Waymo cars in San Francisco. Hear me clearly…BLACK PEOPLE DO NOT DO THIS 💩! If you see it MOVE AWAY QUICKLY! White people will be tried as KIDS HAVING FUN. YOU WON’T! IMO!

When someone started tampering with Tylenol bottles in 1982 the company recalled $100 million worth of bottles immediately even though they clearly weren't at fault

You know I’m sci-fi movies where there are locust type cultures? I believe the ruling class has realized the US is used up and they’re planning to jump to a new host. Hopefully we get to evolve like Europe has.

Ron was my coworker. He died on Tuesday.

Just noticed this on the checkout notification I get from the Chicago Public Library. I think it’s new and I love it!

In a normal distribution, this 30% should have always been there statistically. I wonder how they were kept in check in the past? Were they more likely to take part in the more frequent violence? Were they managed better by the population?

James Carville is the Eric Mangini of politicos.

Call it what you want, but if a tiny class of oligarchs controls the economy, it’s not a free market — it’s concentration of power.

Boomers (and their followers) haven’t ever met a stupid catchphrase they wouldn’t snort/shootup/smoke. If it’s framed to be edgy or anti-mainstream, they mainline it immediately. I bet we could convince them to stop using toilets if we found the right catchphrase.

We used to fund these types of things collectively so that we weren’t at the mercy of the wealthy… i.e. the people who profited from people getting the black lung.

The fact he seems to legitimately believe in the anti-Christ while also investing in companies and policies that would actually make his fears manifest is a modern day paradox.

These are the dorks that get statutes while the action takers get a sidewalk brick next to a plaque. **ahem** I mean, good stuff Ben Franklin.

Ooorrrr, this is what they always were? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Some of our greatest US heroes have been just as douchey as Newsom. Hold your nose and be ready to contain him after he does his work.

Periodic reminder: A) The Ukrainian military is indisputably a highly effective, resilient, and capable, defensive and offensive combat force. B) Ukraine has the highest percent of women in combat roles, and gay, trans, and non-binary people in combat roles, of any army in Europe. 🙂🙃

Childcare is a public good. It's time to build a universal, public childcare system that protects workers, supports families, and resists corporate capture. Dive into the case studies and interviews that support this forward-looking framework ⤵️ rooseveltinstitute.org/publications...

No one show #thepartyoflincoln their 1860 platform. teachingamericanhistory.org/document/rep...

Anyone else notice how the @electdemocrats.bsky.social is all “in these trying times, send US money” not, “send us a list of what you need?” That’s how you know who’s still running the show; the “Me Generation” - our grandparents really stuck the landing on that gen name.

Washington Post: “Is fascism bad? The answer may surprise you” Teen Vogue: “Here are three fun tips you can use this summer to disable an armored personnel carrier”

The only truly smart people in his cabinet are certified evil ghouls.

When they say “Make America Great Again” or “You can’t say anything anymore” this is their perspective.

They’re going to shut the public programs down, sell off all the tech (like NASA) and it will all be sold back to us with extreme markup. You know, fair market capitalism.

I’d put some sort of return mechanism in the law that forces a clean slate redistricting “once every state offers free & fair districting”

Get this individual in pads and on the #Lions

Best I could do after my #MuskFiring was be a public school teacher.

Being in my 40s, I have exactly 0 interest in being in a room full of 16-22 yr olds regardless of decade. #weirdo

All American politics is massive giveaways to landed gentry. When you suggest this is a bad thing, you are told landed gentry is what every American aspires to be and that you’re killing little old ladies who own their homes.

All 👏 we 👏 want👏 is👏 #publictransit

Tired: Shareholder supremacy based on short term returns Wired: Consumer Supremacy based on long term gains

Developing Thought | Lets get all the competent people out of this failing version of our federal govt. let’s get them into State & Local governments while the children burn the rotten ship to the ground. Smart people should be in place they’re wanted.

We need to trumpet these wealthy idiots WAAAY more often. Maybe then people will start to realize they’re not the job creators they fancy themselves.

Number 1 reason we know the US is #antiworker and #antiproductivity is that the idea of a patient needing to deal with managing their own healthcare should be considered a monumental waste of time and money for everyone.

Change your vocabulary and stop using the language of the predator. 1. Underage woman = child 2. Sex scandal (involving children) = rape 3. Sex with child = child rape 4. Sex trafficking = rape trafficking 5. Pedophile = child rapist #opdeatheaters

Facts,

This is the core of ALL US crisis today. Our current version of Capitalism was abased on the premise of a minimum wage that kept up with inflation and productivity. You were scammed by people who think you’re stupid and worthless.

Poor Immigrants Get Deported Rich Immigrants Get To Run The Country. Hey Republicans, it’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.

What’s going to be totally hilarious is if this AGI wakes up in full Mao-mode.
