  This is why I read @pluralistic@mamot.fr He's so good at succinctly summing up important high-level concepts and then connecting them with the current problems we face. #capitalism #wealth #oligarchy

  RE: https://dair-community.social/@timnitGebru/117006488074722424 This #AI bubble bursting is going to be catastrophic. And the government better not give one cent of my money for any bailouts. Let them fail. We’ll be better off if these companies go under.

  The crazies have taken over the Heritage Foundation and the old-guard conservatives are being forced out. New NYT piece airs all the dirty laundry.

  RE: https://mas.to/@BruceMirken/116975848636722550 Why do Republicans hate Americans and want us to die? Serious question. Not joking. So many of these regulation rollbacks lead directly to people dying. Is it really as simple as eliminating any kind of regulation and oversight on corporations so they can squeeze labor? Is that really it? No matter how bad the optics, they keep doing it, so it must mean they are absolutely convinced they will never be prosecuted or suffer any consequences.

  @mcnado@mstdn.social And yet nothing seems to be able to stop him or his unpopular policies. If he rules with impunity, that's a dictatorship. The midterms will be telling. They will either happen and instigate change, or the Republicans and Trump will find a way to disrupt, nullify, or corrupt them so as to make them ineffective.

  We need more things like this. The opportunity cost of war is insane. We could literally give every single person in this country a home, food, and healthcare with the amount of money we spend on war and munitions.

  AGAIN, not doing exactly what a cop says the instant they say it should not be a death sentence!! #Madison #WI #ACAB

  This is what the Democratic party doesn't understand. Their base WANTS politicians who speak their mind and tell it like it is. There isn't a single Corporate Democrat willing to sit down as say this plainly. And these are all verifiable facts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ip_zLWJLbxk #Israel #Palestine #Mamdani #genocide #ICC #netanyahu

  I’m glad #Spain won the #WorldCup final. And for all those #Argentina fans complaining about Enzo Fernandez being sent off…you can’t win a World Cup with ZERO shots on goal in regulation!

  RE: https://shakedown.social/@AAronL1968/116924310525850627 We really need to start pushing incredibly strong anti-corruption laws (and enforcement) at a federal level if we want our democracy back from the Epstein Class.

  New to following soccer, so this is an unbiased opinion with fresh eyes. In the last two games I've watched involving Argentina, the refs have given unnecessary and excessive penalties to the opposing team. If I didn't know any better, I'd say the refs were in Argentina's pocket. Let's see if that holds true in today's game. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  #Corruption #Grift #Oligarchs Every single one of these people needs to be put in jail for breaking the MYRIAD of laws on the books that specifically prevent this. Again if any of these people get off the hook, we'll never recover our government from the #oligarchy.

  RE: https://climatejustice.social/@PeterRu/116822476038269087 *Trump literally being an authoritarian dictator* Corporate Democrats: “Hmmm, vote for us in the mid-terms and we might think about a strongly-worded letter?” *Three Democratic Socialists win a primary election without corporate money promising to actually help the working class* Corporate Democrats: “Holy hell! Man the barricades! Let’s mobilize and fight this dangerous threat immediately!”

  Well if this isn’t just the perfect metaphor for the state of our politics. We can’t even agree on how to celebrate our anniversary and as usual, Trump just takes over without asking and then turns everything he touches to shit. He’s a reverse Midas.
