I've been researching the idea of Unconditional Universal Basic Income since 2013. Here's a collection of findings I've compiled from various UBI experiments and studies of cash transfer programs around the world. This will be a VERY LONG and ongoing thread focused entirely on empirical evidence. 🧵

1/2 Russia’s war machine continues to bleed. Ukraine’s General Staff reports 1,560 Russian personnel losses in the past 24 hours, bringing estimated total personnel losses since February 24, 2022, to approximately 1,568,720.

Yes, only ordinary people can save us, but the opportunity is not distributed evenly. A few of us can refuse to participate, to bomb boats, to kidnap and mistreat people, to destroy public property, to misdirect money. You few have to refuse.

1/ A secret military task force in San Antonio is working the midterms, and ICE is fast-tracking a spy network in two dozen cities. Nobody gets to call this hysterical anymore. It's documented. The only question left is what we do. 🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

The coup de grace to destroy the country will be refusing to pay debts. The "full faith and credit of the United States" is like a financial holy grail. US had been the safest harbor for decades. He will do it.

Legally insane means not knowing right from wrong. It doesn't mean being an epic asshole. It doesn't mean having a sadistic streak. It doesn't mean compulsive lying. 47 knows right from wrong. He just doesn't care. That makes him competent to stand trial.

The climate crisis in one sentence: We have enough food, technology, and money to save the planet. We just have a system where destroying it is more profitable. That's not a climate problem. That's a greed problem. #ClimateJustice

This should be the lead story with a screaming headline on every news website: “Trump sides with Putin in Ukraine war.” “After a long, friendly chat during which Putin offered Trump a political lifeline, Trump called for Ukraine to surrender.”

Trump has picked a side in the Russia Ukraine war. News organizations should make that clear. And every single Republican running for office should be forced to answer whether they, too, support Russia, and how much of Ukraine Russia should be allowed to rule.

The Republicans all work for Putin. They don’t even care to hide it. He paid for Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding. They are traitors to their country.

22 California billionaires have spent a combined $150 million so far to defeat Prop 40. By spending their fortunes trying to stop California from taxing billionaires, they're making the argument for a billionaire wealth tax more clearly and articulately than anyone else possibly could.

Donald Trump pardoned Jake Lang last year. That’s the reason why he is able to be here doing this. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Far-right nationalist Jake Lang, who has made antisemitic remarks and performed a Nazi salute, and a group chant in support of Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers: “Mike Rogers for Senate!”

Using money and national security arguments to implement moral policy was a successful strategy, one we could use today.

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1957: President Eisenhower apologizes to Ghanaian Finance Minister Komla Agbeli Gbedemah, who was denied service in a segregated restaurant. It was one of many incidents involving African dignitaries and a factor in the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. /1

Thread: how does media react to regime change?

1/ When Viktor Orbán lost power in Hungary, something extraordinary happened inside his propaganda machine. Some journalists cried.Others celebrated. And suddenly, people who’d spent years following orders were expected to tell the truth & they struggled #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Do you notice that Trump and Musk and Sam Altman are all using the narrative that "bad things need to happen"? (Not to them, of course)

Trump: "With the war, it's just artificial. It's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay ... let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."

8/8 Everyone has a strength. Mine is writing and strategy. Yours might be visual storytelling. If you see a thread or post I write that would hit harder as a meme, make it, tag me here on BlueSky, and use the hashtag #TruthMatters. Memes matter. So does your talent. Let’s work together to fight back

They want us to go on record saying the first amendment protects propaganda. So don't say that. Don't imply that. "Right wing news" is propaganda.

Honig: The beauty and power of the First Amendment is that it doesn’t much care who the outlet is. It doesn’t matter if the outlet is far left. It doesn’t matter if the outlet is MSNOW or MeidasTouch. It doesn’t matter if the outlet is far right…The First Amendment protects you

This should be the headline story on every news publication and telecast including local news every day for several days. But it won’t. It will be shrugged off like so much else by so much of media. The most corrupt thing that has ever come out of the US govt.

A judge said NO to the arch and Congress has not authorized. We need thousands to show up and have any and all contractors arrested.
