their suggestions on how to actually make cities safer were all wonderful. but nowhere did they say the one thing that matters the most. REDUCE INEQUALITY BY TAXING THE ULTRA RICH.
seriously, how else do we fund the suggestions they just made? tax them bitches.
saving this for later, thanks
the Cold War was a free printing money machine for 50 years. creating a new one against China makes sense if you’re an oligarch whose wealth rides upon govt contracts and endless military industrial expansionism.
and it kinda explains why Putin is manipulating Trump to make him believe they’ll choose the US over China in a game of saber rattling. Russia is positioning itself to be the tie-breaker so it can play both sides against one another in lucrative energy/arms deals. maybe they’ll even get some real estate out of it.
the 2016 and 2020 coverage of Bernie Sanders and their pushing of centrist anti-progressive agendas in the editorials was enough for me to unsubscribe forever. after what they’ve done in recent years, there’s no way I’ll ever trust them to represent working class interests.
here’s an example just a couple weeks ago of them laundering Republican party talking points into man on the street style “people are saying” interviews about how 'aktually I’m black and I’m glad DEI is being ended.’ receipts showing stealth edits made to cover their tracks in the linked article.
they’re selling off the real estate after they fired all the workers and shutdown offices, privatizing everything and anything they can.
this is The Looting of America, Turbofuck 9000 Mode™.
the story really is too ‘just so’ given the administrations hard media push to publicize victories on the border. should we really just believe the numbers the administration is claiming? did they manage to smuggle 20k people without anyone noticing or taking a bribe to look the other way that entire time? how come this story was released right now and not 2 months ago?
one thing is certain. we’ll never find out who their inside connections were that enabled them all this time. someone in CBP? a local sheriff? business owners that exploit labor and facilitated it? someone was helping them and instead of an Americans head rolling, it will always be entirely blame shifted on a dangerous ‘illegal’.
real human rights violations are happening on the border and the US has done jack shit in my entire life to address the real causes or offer a reasonable path to citizenship. this article and press release is pure consent manufacturing dogshit from Trump’s inside PR team.
‘Don’t worry, this will only hurt poor people, and I’m just a temporarily embarrassed billionaire!’
certain, specific humans, have a great deal more culpability than others.
less useful blaming billions when a couple dozen people engineered the choices for the rest of us, especially on climate.
the biggest problem opposition groups have nowadays is targeting the wrong people to oppose. I know who my enemies are and it’s not so self defeatingly simplistic as humans = bad.
Bernie was the compromise. now it’s Luigi time.
that can’t be right, I swear I saw this exact person at the grocery near me, thousands of miles away from Loveland
fuck you Elon and fuck your over hyped car company.
agreed. all i can say is,
don’t give up. tax the rich. death to billionaires.
this makes me so angry. congress already took away the Affordable Connectivity Plan which helped millions of Americans.
internet service providers should be nationalized and made into a public utility.
given the coerced witness, lack of evidence, and time already served, it should have been a pardon not a commutation to house arrest.
but it’s still wonderful he’s finally out of prison.
political memes often are news though. they aren’t like, mutually exclusive.
yep. we all definitely need breaks. i take long breaks every few months or in the winter when seasonal depression kicks in.
but this is a critical junction for global history. class warfare has escalated and accelerated, and the vast vast majority of us are being actively oppressed through the dismantling of economic and social welfare programs.
my family stands to lose too much for me to be burying my head in the sand right now.
some aren’t ready or able or willing to do the work of preparing a response. others have no choice but to pay attention because their family’s future literally depend on knowing whether today is the day they “come for you” and all this (bwamp bwamp) news actually reaches your doorstep.
so while people are arguing anime fandoms and who wins The Big Game, I’ll be trying to understand my enemy, encourage my allies, and decide what an appropriate response looks like (in real life) using the latest information i have available.
first time hearing about this, any more details you can provide or link to a news release? is this Ubiik?
