We all know billionaires are buying up our so called representatives, our government agencies and even our local office holders. Prop 40 is a drop in the bucket of their blood money but they are still spending hundreds of millions to get away without paying their fair share. Don't let them!

Socialism, once deeply unpopular in the U.S., is becoming more favorable among voters, even as there’s disagreement on what it means, public opinion polls and recent primary results have shown. nyti.ms/485FOoN

Support for socialism in the U.S. has reached a record high of 43% According to a Gallup poll, 43% of Americans view socialism positively—the highest figure ever recorded. Meanwhile, big business is viewed favorably by only 35% of respondents, down from 49% in 2010. — Dialectician

Reading "An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States" by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz. Brutal, but necessary read. "One may trace this recurrent altruistic theme into the early twenty-first century, when the United States still invades countries under the guise of rescue."

No demands. No actionable agenda. Just dull anti-Trump rallies, not the movement against underlying systemic issues that we need. Class consciousness in the US is a joke.

It was 107° last weekend and now it's 64° with rain. Wild temperature swings before it heads back up to 90° again. For now, at least I'm wearing a light jacket and pretending it's fall.

77 years ago today the GDR (German Democratic Republic) was established. I highly recommend reading "Why Women Have Better Sex Under Socialism" by Kristen Ghodsee or "A Socialist Defector" by Victor Grossman to learn more about what was lost when the Socialist GDR was dissolved.

Shaking my head at the stupidity of liberals being surprised that Tom Morello didn't vote for Kamala Harris. Like, no shit, dude. 🤦‍♂️

Joey Scott@joeyneverjoe.bsky.social

Same goes for the people mad at Tom Morello for not voting for Kamala Harris. Are you unaware of the band’s history and politics? They aren’t neoliberals.
